From a person who never drinks coffee to dream about having a café, sounds like I have come a long way. The first time I thought about having my own bakery shop was when I was 20. Many years passed and here I am finally making it happen, not a bakery shop but a community café.
After coming back from China I started travelling a lot and also became a licensed trekking guide. It was surprising for myself that I started loving trekking in the mountains because I wasn't really into trekking in the past. That's when I started seeking for communities like cycling, hiking, climbing,etc. I started to take all of cousins on hikes every Saturday.
This is where all it started, I thought there must be a lot of people who might be seeking for communities, according their interests. What if I can initiate it? What if I can make it easier for people to find more people like them ? What if I can make it happen through my café.
My vision is to build a community, where people can connect, share their ideas, create opportunities through events, gatherings and good foods and drinks. I've got lucky that I've found a perfect partner and an amazing friend who has been helping me in this journey. She's the founder of NovaNest, Priya with a same vision , building a community. Currently, we're looking for a good location for the café. I'll be sharing more about it
