Lumiere has a new address… We are at Sarjapur Main Road now !! Our 4th store in Bangalore was inaugurated today, 6th November 2016 @ 12 noon.
The store was inaugurated by Shri Ricky Kej, Grammy award winner musician, composer and conservationist, who also expressed his views on Organic cultivation, which were in alignment with Lumiere’s ideology and principles.
‘During his address to the small gathering at our new store, Shri Ricky highlighted that organic cultivation in simple terms means the way our ancestors grew food – ‘the natural way’ -just as nature intended it to be. He also expressed the irony, that in today’s world we have to label the organic produce which is pure and natural. However, there is no labeling required for the inorganic produce – in terms of pesticides and artificial fertilizers which are used to grow them. He also referred that in present times the Government would bring about radical changes only if the same is supported by the masses. Hence, it is pertinent that more and more people are made aware about supporting, cultivating and consuming nothing but pure and Organic food’.
Shri Nagaraja Prakasam, well-wisher, friend & engineer-turned-angel investor, who left his job to fund enterprises that have a definitive impact on society also graced the occasion and spoke about how he first visited Lumiere Restaurant four years back and how the aura of the restaurant and the story of the founders, Shri Manjunath and Shri Ambrose, captivated and left him mesmerized. He also spoke briefly about how Lumiere grew from being a single store to this day, which was also made possible by the goodwill of the customers who turned investors later to help this community of Organic supporters grow and flourish.
We welcome you to visit us at our brand new store at Sarjapur Main Road !!
Conference on “Innovation: Transforming Ideas to Business”
9th December 2016: 0900-1730 hrs: Hotel Park Hyatt, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
‘Leveraging Private Finance to Scale Urban Service Delivery’ at the CityFix Labs final event in Hyderabad on the 4th. During TheCityFix Labs journey, we realised that there is tremendous interest from all the stakeholders (government, investors, citizens and enterprises) in this topic and also, several unanswered questions. So, as we come to the close of our accelerator, we decided to discuss this very important and intriguing subject with a key subset of the stakeholders – government and investors- you all. For the discussion we will use the simple panel format- I will ask questions, you will answer and hopefully, somewhere along the process we can instigate a thought-provoking debate. We will also try to make it interactive by involving the audience.
