•Fun fact about you:

Being vegetarian can often decide holiday destinations. But for Shraddha Bhansali, founder of Candy & Green, it hasn't ruled her vacation picks. Her experiences in the villages of China and Iceland, relishing their vegetarian cuisine, have shaped the idea of Candy & Green, an ingredient-centric clean-eating vegetarian all-day restaurant and bar in Mumbai that she started in 2017.

While at Boston University, studying hospitality and business between 2010 and 2014, the local surge in veganism fascinated her, as she observed how chefs treated their vegetables and fruits: "It was like how a butcher treats his meat; with utmost care." However, it was only after meeting an urban farmer in Mumbai that the idea of a rooftop farm was added to the mix. On the 400-sq ft terrace plot that she leased in Breach Candy, her staff grows microgreens like peppermint and Thailand grass.
