[Hybrid] India, April 12, Food-walk Meet-up at Pune Camp | Ardeshir & Co and Garden Vada pav center | #DilSeLocal

Hello LGs,

This meet-up was a long time pending one from me. So, on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 5 PM IST, we have scheduled this food-walk meet-up in the Pune Camp area, covering two of the most unique and iconic outlets of Pune. My co-host this time is @MathanVibranarayan , who will be controlling the meet-up virtually.

  1. Ardeshir & Co.—the oldest soda manufacturing company in India. (as per the Google Maps, it’s LGBTQ friendly.)
  2. Garden Vada pav center - the farmost famous and visited by the foodies

The meet-up is considered under my #DilsePune series and #supportsmallbusiness tags, respectively.

Since the Ardeshir closes at 6 PM, we will meet sharp at 5 PM IST and will start our food-walk meet-up.

We will do:

  1. Meet & greet with the fellow LGs
  2. Supporting by purchasing some products on the spot
  3. Adding updates, if any, on Google Maps
  4. Share and discuss the roadmap on small local business support.
  5. Share individual Google Maps experiences.

Since this will be a hybrid meet-up, all local guides from India and abroad are invited to attend this event.

Note that the online meeting will begin at 5:30 PM IST, 30 minutes after the in-person meeting, or as per the latest updates here.

Kindly note: The virtual link will be available 12 hours before the actual date and time. To get the updates, kindly add to your calendar and/or RSVP

I can not wait to meet each of you!
Cheers!

I will attend this meetup in person. Heard about soda place but never visited. I always eat Garden vadapav when I go street shopping on MG road. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Regret the late response, got stuck with the FY year end routines.

@AjitThite sir thank you for this wonderful opportunity. @TusharSuradkar and @Kumaarsantosh thanks for the guidance. I’m also excited. :raised_hands:t2:
