Ishaan Bahl is a young and dynamic entrepreneur in the Indian hospitality and F&B sector. He represents a third-generation restaurateur family (the Bahl family) long associated with the iconic Mumbai restaurant Khyber.
Building on that legacy, Ishaan has also founded and developed the brand 145 Cafe & Bar (often abbreviated “145”) in Mumbai — establishing himself as a leader of the next generation in F&B.
Having grown up in a restaurateur family, he has an inherent appreciation of operations, legacy, brand identity and service culture — yet also leads newer concepts tailored for today’s patrons.
His experience in Mumbai’s competitive market provides practical, real-world input for peers in the region and pan-India.
He offers relevance to the audience (owners, operators, investors in restaurants & hospitality) by speaking to how to balance tradition and innovation, and how to stay relevant in a fast-changing landscape.
