Whizdom Club, an inspiration hub by MQDC India, has launched its first food venture, Whiz Café, in GK-2, New Delhi. The café, which is open between midday and 9pm each day except Tuesday, is a part of the Whizdom Club co-working space and offers an exciting gourmet menu, curated by renowned culinary chef Ashay Dhopatkar and pastry chef Neha Lakhani (a.k.a. The Troublesome Duo).
The launch brunch attracted people from across industries and interests – media professionals, gourmets, glitterati, bloggers, as well as members of Whizdom Club. The guests savoured a range of dishes and beverages from the café’s exciting menu.
Whiz Café caters to the multi-faceted lifestyles of urbanites, and is a perfect place for work meetings as well as casual brunches. It aims to be a space that inspires and offers a platform to connect and collaborate.
The menu, along with the design of the café, has been planned to resonate with the youth. It includes both comfort food and wholesome options like salads, mains, delicious desserts, fresh pastries, and a variety of beverages.
Strategically located within Whizdom Club’s campus, Whiz Café is a unique place where members of the co-working community and the café guests can interact and share ideas.
The café will form a melting pot for a diverse community – co-working members, young professionals, students, freelancers, startupreneurs, and local residents.
In line with the parent company MQDC’s core philosophy of For All Well-Being, Whiz Café by Whizdom Club aspires to create a stimulating and cohesive environment for its patrons.
The café, by way of its food and ambience, aims to encourage a community culture through its delectable cuisine and inspiring design.
Commenting on the launch, Chulamas Jitpatima (a.k.a. Amy), director, MQDC India, said, “As an inspiration hub, we strive to provide an ecosystem complete with mentorship, community access, and ideation. Adding to the vibe of Whizdom Club, Whiz Café offers a welcoming and vibrant environment and an eclectic range of dishes, for those who like to savour and toil with the same fervour.”

Discussing the Whiz Café launch, Dhopatkar said, “It gives us immense pleasure to be a part of MQDC’s India journey. For Whiz Café, the menu is designed for urbanites who love to embrace new experiences and culinary trends. With the inclusion of healthy comfort food in the menu, we aim to target health-conscious young professionals and millennials, offering inspiring meals to match the buzz of the city’s new inspiration hub.”
Dhopatkar has worked with top culinary masters such as chefs Gordon Ramsay and Herbert Berger. He has also been featured in several leading lifestyle magazines.
