Has the Goa restaurant bubble finally burst?
According to Ritu Dalmia, Goa is no longer the land of golden opportunity for restaurants that it was once perceived to be.

So, is Goa still the place to be? 🌴

Authenticity has a price. She paid it.
In the next episode of Table 1 with Vir Sanghvi, the pioneer behind Diva and India’s standalone restaurant revolution pulls back the curtain. Ritu Dalmia opens up about the multi-million dollar world of wedding catering and her legacy of teaching Indians how to eat real Italian food. She shares the unfiltered reality of building a debt-free culinary empire in an industry of “pink sauce” and empty accolades. She reveals what it actually takes to survive at the top.
From early failures to the Marwari pragmatism that kept her standing when others fell, this is a masterclass in business, legacy, and the true cost of being an original.

What does it cost to speak up?
Ritu Dalmia has spent over two decades defining the vanguard of Indian dining, but in the next episode of Table 1 with Vir Sanghvi, she reveals why her biggest achievement has nothing to do with a kitchen.
Speaking with honesty and quiet courage, Ritu reflects on the heavy price of coming out publicly in a country that wasn’t always ready to listen. From facing trolling to becoming a petitioner to decriminalize Section 377, she opens up about what it meant to stand up at a time when few others did, and why that victory mattered far beyond herself.
