Thecha Vadapav landed in Baner – Pune’s hip and happening neighborhood – and it was nothing short of a blockbuster opening. Baner is known for its trendy cafes, IT crowd, and food-loving community, and we were thrilled to bring our spicy marvel right to the heart of it. On opening day, the Baner High Street area saw a festive mood: bright lights, curious onlookers, and a queue of eager customers that wrapped around our stylish new food cart. Young professionals from nearby offices, families out on evening strolls, and even the expat crowd showed up to see what the excitement was all about. We lost count of how many “Welcome to Baner!” wishes we heard, as customers bit into our vada pav and immediately broke into smiles. It was clear – Baner had fallen in love at first bite.

What made the Baner outlet special (apart from being our first step into west Pune) was how it became a melting pot of people. You’d see college students Instagramming our thecha-smeared, cheesy vada pav, while uncles and aunties from the neighborhood chatted with our team about how our spicy flavor reminded them of authentic Kolhapuri thecha. The ambiance in Baner was electric – we set up a few high tables around the stall, and they were constantly surrounded by lively chatter and the sound of crunchy bites. Food bloggers from around Pune also dropped in during opening week, giving us shout-outs on social media and dubbing us a “must-visit street food joint in Baner.” This support meant a lot, as it helped more people discover us. In just a few weeks, our Baner outlet was bustling from lunch through late evening, proving that a little spice can truly bring a community together.
