Rasvi adds a premium confectionery layer to the mix, complementing existing offerings across chaat, Asian cuisine and beverages. The destination is set to expand with additional formats including Common Café, South Indian Table, North Indian Table and ZaZa Pizza.

With this launch, Rasvi establishes its first physical presence in Raipur and plans to expand into other cities through similar experience-led formats, targeting growing demand for premium retail environments.
