Hitesh Keswani
The man, the myth, the Managing Director of Aspect Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd.
“In hospitality, the recipe for success is a combination of many ingredients — from securing the right location to becoming good at playing the numbers game. But guest loyalty is the imperative garnish you cannot do without in this business.”
In essence, Hitesh Keswani is the embodiment of the adage ‘More is More’, except perhaps, when it comes to words. A multihyphenate with varied interests, he embodies a quiet ambition that belies his entrepreneurial success. He’s a man of few words and his passions span the realms of fine dining, curated beverages, and engaging experiences, where he approaches each with a thoughtful prudence. His journey is a testament to his humble pursuit of excellence.
More formally, though, he is the Managing Director of Aspect Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. — a leading hospitality group headquartered in Mumbai that houses within its fold a number of F&B brands, including homegrown businesses such as Silver Beach Café, Tuya’s by Copa, Nom Nom, Radio Bar, Estella, Nom Nom Express, The Coconut Boy, The South Table, and Akina; alongside international projects such as Dubai-based Greek restaurant, Opa Kipos and Brunch & Cake from Barcelona, all of which together cover various locations across Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru; multiple formats — from easygoing diners and cuisine-focused restaurants to pulsating nightlife spots — and a plethora of cuisines.
