Thecha Vadapav
3/1/20252 min read
Hello, Aundh! By March 2025, Thecha Vadapav made its way to the bustling streets of Aundh – a neighborhood known for its mix of chic shops, eateries, and a vibrant community of both young and old Punekars. Opening day in Aundh felt like a festival. Our outlet, decked with orange and green balloons (a nod to our flavorful chilies and chutneys), drew in a lively crowd from Westend mall shoppers to joggers from the Parihar Chowk park. It was truly a sight: people eagerly gathered, chatting about their previous experiences of Thecha Vadapav elsewhere and speculating if Aundh’s would taste even better (secret: it’s exactly the same authentic taste everywhere!). We’re happy to report – Aundh gave us one of the warmest welcomes yet, with a record-breaking first weekend of sales. The local foodies here have a discerning palate, and seeing them give a thumbs-up (some, with teary eyes from the spicy kick, yet big smiles on their faces) was incredibly rewarding.
This outlet quickly became a special one for us. Aundh has a way of embracing new trends while holding onto tradition, and that’s exactly what Thecha Vadapav stands for. Within days, our vada pav became the go-to snack for college students from nearby colleges hanging out in the area, as well as the perfect shopping break treat for families. We even noticed the Indian diaspora crowd – folks who’ve returned from abroad or are visiting home – stopping by, exclaiming that our vada pav gave them a taste of “sakkhat Mumbai masala” (real Mumbai spice) that they missed. For some added Aundh-exclusive fun, we introduced a limited-time “Thecha Bomb” – a larger, double-patty vada pav with extra thecha and a sprinkle of cheese – as a thank you to our new patrons. It sold out every evening in the first week! The success here solidified our belief that no matter how modern or cosmopolitan the locale, the soul of Pune still craves that authentic, hearty, street-side flavor. And we are more than happy to deliver.
