Look At How This Mechanical Engineer Turned Entrepreneur Is Managing Two Entrepreneurial Sectors At Once

“Restaurant business is competitive as you have to drive customers to dine and enjoy at your place more than they do in others restaurants. A majority of restaurant owners wrongly believe that if a restaurant serves good quality food, then that is enough to run a lucrative business. Good quality of products or services is something basic. Beside the quality offerings, you need to turn your restaurant business into a brand that people can trust and keep coming back to.” says Dr. Heramb Shelke. Dr. Shelke is a Pune-based mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur having a strong track record in operations and management. He is a visionary, a culinary expert and a tech enthusiast. He has made a name for himself in the city of Pune with not one but two business ventures in the fields of F&B (food & beverage) as well as a complete opposite field of Electric Vehicles.

He is the Chairman & Managing Director of two of the most iconic and acclaimed lounges in the city of Pune namely 1BHK superbar and 2BHK Diner & Keyclub, both of which have received The Times Iconic Dining Outlet of the year in 2019 , the Times Iconic Dining & Nightlife Outlet in 2020 and the best restaurant in the pune city from Pune Times Mirror in 2022 for their scrumptious food, unparalleled service and aesthetic decors. The restaurants are extremely popular not just amongst people from Pune but also from different parts of the country. Everything from food, service gear, and interior decor to aesthetics is absolutely original.  This is one of the only places in the country where one can "Drink, Dine, Dance, Dazzle" (their famed tagline) all at the same time under one roof in a very friendly, trendy & safe environment. 

Being the CEO of VTRO motors private limited, his Pune-based Electric Vehicle (bike) manufacturing Company Dr. Shelke aims at launching a consolidated ecosystem that pieces together the challenges that EV market in India faces at this point in time like expensive battery replacements, lack of dedicated parking spots, exiguity of charging infrastructure, etc. and turn them into invaluable opportunities.
