Beyond Business: Celebrating Community and Culture with YB Foods at World Food India 2025

Yash Agrawal

World Food India 2025 at Bharat Mandapam was so much more than a food industry showcase—it was a vibrant celebration of human connection, culture, and those rare moments of joy that make every journey memorable. While our team shared the latest in millet-based nutrition and met collaborators from around the world, Delhi itself became the stage for building lasting friendships and creating stories that defined our experience.

Bonds Over Chai and Shared Ambitions

Business partnerships, future plans, and strategic brainstorms were enriched by the informality of afternoon chai breaks and impromptu gatherings. My partner Bhanudas Kokate and I reflected daily with our team on how the best ideas often emerge from the most relaxed and open conversations. Our stall became a place where laughter flowed as easily as samples—and our network grew beyond business cards, grounded in genuine warmth and excitement.

A Night of Sufi Magic With Ashutosh Rai

One Delhi evening, the boundaries of business and pleasure disappeared altogether as we joined our friend @ashutoshrai987654321 for a soul-stirring Sufi night at Ministry of Beer, Connaught Place. Surrounded by melodic rhythms, heartfelt lyrics, and an atmosphere charged with creative energy, we felt the unifying force that music can bring. It was a night where work faded into the background and community—the real heart of our industry—came to the fore.

Pizzeria Da Susy: More Than Just Dinner

On a different evening, our team and new friends ventured to Pizzeria Da Susy, a culinary hotspot celebrated as one of the world’s 35 best pizzerias for the past three years. Sharing slices of pizza that lived up to their global acclaim, our group’s laughter and lively discussions spilled long into the night. The experience was a powerful reminder that great food—much like great business—brings people together across cultures, backgrounds, and dreams.

The Heartbeat of Our Experience

Interwoven between expo sessions and partner meetings were these moments of camaraderie: group selfies in the Delhi skyline, spontaneous debates about favorite recipes, and heartfelt toasts to new beginnings. YB Foods’ journey at World Food India 2025 was defined by these connections, reminding us that nourishing relationships is every bit as important as nourishing bodies.

Bringing Delhi’s Spirit Back Home

We leave Delhi inspired not just by what we learned, but by the bonds we deepened and the memories we created. At YB Foods, we’re committed to infusing this spirit of community, joy, and world-class taste into everything we do.

Because while products can cross borders, it’s the people, stories, and shared experiences that truly leave a mark. Here’s to making every journey as rich as this one!
