Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Arjun Jain, Co Director says "The response we garnered from our first edition of Grub Fest in Delhi was absolutely overwhelming. We couldn't resist waiting for the next edition, so we collectively decided to host another one within a span of 7 months."

 Mr. Chaitanya Mathur, Co Director further added, "Apart from more food, music and entertainment, we are introducing some remarkable new concepts that will be a first in the country. We will also be integrating the business fraternity of the F&B industry, whilst giving an opportunity to small businesses, start ups, blogs and tech savvy entrepreneurs in the food space to showcase their products. And for our foodie fans, we've planned a bunch of exciting new contests and events, before and during the festival."

The Grub team announced that the festival will be travelling to Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai & Chandigarh, and even internationally to Dubai & London.

"We are very excited to add Gurgaon to the Grub map before expanding into other parts of India. While working on the second edition, it was essential to introduce the food festival to a new market yet ensure our loyalty towards our many fans and foodies in Delhi. Our venue is a stone throw away from the Leela Kempinski, hence attracts the best of Delhi & Gurgaon." says, Aman Kumar, Co Director.

Manveer Singh Cheema, Co Director says, "The food festival industry has a long way to go in India, it's a new territory and untapped market hence we are strengthening our strategic alliances across Europe and rest of the world to enhance the experience for the public and improve the entire infrastructure of the event. Even though it may not feel like India is a third world country it's still categorised as one, therefore we must focus on all the finer details. Educating the public is our duty, if we call ourselves event organisers, each date and city we announce we will continue to add and surprise the public.”
