DSG Consumer Partners has announced its collaboration with the team behind Bombay Sweet Shop, reinforcing its commitment to partnering with visionary founders in the Indian F&B space.
Deepak Shahdadpuri, Managing Director of DSG Consumer Partners, shared his long-standing association with Yash Bhanage, Sameer Seth, and the late Chef Floyd Cardoz, the founding trio behind The Bombay Canteen and O Pedro. Having been an early supporter and even customer number one at The Bombay Canteen, Shahdadpuri expressed admiration for how Yash and Sameer have quietly built a portfolio of beloved Indian dining concepts over the last decade.
Bombay Sweet Shop, their latest venture under the Hunger Inc. umbrella, opened its first outlet in Byculla in February 2020. The brand aims to present a premium, indulgent, and modern interpretation of mithai, blending nostalgia with innovation. Leading the creative charge is Chef Girish Nayak, who reimagines traditional Indian sweets with contemporary flair.
Within Hunger Inc., Chef Hussain Shahzad continues to oversee kitchens at The Bombay Canteen, O Pedro Mumbai, Veronica’s, and Papa’s.
The partnership also brings in Lighthouse Funds, co-founded by Mukund Krishnaswami, Sean Sovak, and Sachin Bhartiya. Shahdadpuri noted that he and Mukund had discussed collaborating for over a decade, and the new partnership marks the realization of that long-standing goal.
With shared values in premium consumer experiences and a passion for celebrating India’s culinary heritage, DSG Consumer Partners and Lighthouse Funds are poised to help Bombay Sweet Shop scale its unique vision for Indian mithai.
