A recorded July 2021 YouTube interview where Abhinav Saxena interviews Bhubaneswar cloud-kitchen founder Vrindavan Mishra (Lunch Square). After suffering large catering losses during COVID, Vrindavan joined a community/course, launched a cloud-kitchen (Oct–Nov 2020), and grew revenue to over ₹1 crore within ~8 months. The transcript details a month-by-month revenue trajectory (from ~₹4.5k early to peaks of ₹27L+ in later months, with monthly figures for Nov–Apr), low initial investment (~₹1.5L), staffing growth (from 4 to ~13), product strategy (small focused menu, regional & corporate boxes), channels (Zomato, Swiggy, direct/subscriptions, PR), marketing spend (~₹60–90k/month typical), unit economics (profit ~15–17% average; direct orders ~20–22% margin; aggregator orders ~45–50% of sales), social impact (weekly food drives ~200 people; ~₹8k per event), and plans to launch a biryani brand. The conversation highlights community support, iterative learning of digital marketing, disciplined daily routines (goal writing), and charity work as part of the founder’s values.
