In a statement, Shylesh shared what made him start his own restaurant in Bengaluru. He said, "I realised people are always looking for a place that's new, different and sensational. As for me, I am a business guy and I love my food, hence I considered starting my own restaurant and bar. The fact that I have been in the entertainment industry for such a long time and knowing majority of the people in the city in addition to traveling around the world have rather boosted the desire to do so.
Shylesh Jain also shared the changes he noticed throughout the years since he opened his joint. He said, "There have been a number of changes since then. The changing demographics and increase in disposable income has definitely led to more and more people going to to eat/drink. There is also much more awareness now about restaurants & bars, about food, cocktails and cuisine. We've also witness a lot of change in food habits (Eg Healthy, Vegan, Gluten free , organic food etc), in short guilt free indulgence. I've also seen that people are now open to experimenting with different and exotic cuisines as well as drinks. Talking about drinks, look at how much popularity gin as a spirit has gained in a few years. While we as restaurateurs are open to experimenting with our cocktails and trying out various flavours/ infused alcohol even with spices, herbs, edible flower, fruits etc,. And we have this liberty is because our customers are willing to experiment with their spirits too. Having said these, I think the restaurant industry is progressing rapidly."
Is he planning to open up an outlet of Nevermind Bar & Social in Mumbai too? Shylesh answered, "Mumbai is one of the top destinations for food and beverage and has people of varied tastes and palates, it has managed to keep pace with this evolving f&b industry. So Yes, absolutely."

Shylesh also shared that our impeccable service & interiors is what makes our restaurant stand out. He added, "But it's the consistency in our food, cocktails and the vibe that we have created at Nevermind, all in all the over all experience is what set's us apart. The space is absolutely stunning, the music is great at all given point in time, that is one of our USP's as well."
