My first time hosting something in Hyderabad and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. ❤️
Close to 50 of you showed up for the Harvest ’26 launch with ROAST Cafe Roast Coffee tasting coffees, asking questions, sharing stories, and simply spending time together over something we all love.
What made it even more special was the journey leading up to it. Four days in a new city, making sure every little thing was in place, and then watching it all come together, people walking in, coming up to say hello, someone travelling from another city just to be there, someone wanting to learn, someone wanting to catch up.
Out of those 50 people, I had met only one before. Everyone else was a new face. And yet, by the end of it, it didn’t feel like I was hosting a room full of strangers. It felt like I was among people who understood why coffee brings us together in the first place.
Thank you, Hyderabad, for making me feel so welcome. Thank you for showing up, for the conversations, and most importantly, for sharing the love for coffee. ☕️
And a huge thank you to Naineni Hanumanth, Sudeep Reddy, Urvaksh M. Bharucha, Aravind Siripuram and the entire ROAST Cafe team for having me and trusting me with this experience. It was genuinely so much fun. 🙌🏻✨
Here’s hoping this is just the beginning.
Let’s do this again — bigger, better, and with even more people around the table. ❤️
Until the next pour, Hyderabad. ☕️
