Based in New Delhi, but now connected with Cali BBQ Media thanks to the power of the internet, Manvir Anand may be many miles away from us, but he certainly runs with the same tribe.

Having amassed success in the catering, coaching and event space, Manvir’s curiosity led him into our weekly Digital Hospitality Friday conversations on Clubhouse.
