Brothers – Mr Sharad Madan and Mr Naresh Madan, have made a significant impact on the hospitality industry through their innovative ventures. As the driving force behind the Imperfecto group and their latest creation, Khubani, they are redefining Delhi’s nightlife scene.
The Madan brothers are first-generation business pioneers. Their journey began with the vision of their father, Mr Suresh Madan, who established the first Imperfecto outlet in Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi. Under his guidance, Mr Sharad and Mr Naresh have transformed Imperfecto into a household name, encompassing 15 restaurants and bars across Delhi NCR.
Khubani represents the culmination of the Madan brothers’ passion and creativity. This unique venue offers an “escapade into reality,” transporting guests to a world of Persian culture and modern luxury. Mr Sharad Madan, a B.Com graduate from Delhi University, brings a touch of artistry to the business. He envisions unique concepts and ensures guests have an unforgettable experience. Mr Naresh Madan, a BBA graduate from Memorial University of Newfoundland Canada, steers the sales force, driving growth and brand recognition. Together, they’ve breathed life into Khubani – a haven of impeccable cocktails, delectable food by an international culinary team and captivating live entertainment by artists from around the globe.
The Madan brothers’ success story is one of perseverance and unwavering dedication. They built their brand from the ground up, navigating sleepless nights and the challenges of entering the industry without a formal background. Mr Naresh hustled, shuttling between outlets across Delhi, while Mr Sharad spent his days setting up new ventures and nights observing operations to understand their customers’ needs. Client satisfaction remains their top priority.
No journey is without obstacles. The pandemic forced them to navigate national lockdowns, a hurdle they tackled with resilience. Now, riding high on Khubani’s success, they’re forging strong connections and a loyal clientele. This resilience is evident in their motto: “A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.” It’s a philosophy that speaks volumes about their approach. They believe success comes from having a clear vision, strategizing meticulously and constantly innovating.
Beyond the restaurant scene, Mr Sharad and Mr Naresh are inveterate globetrotters. Their shared passion for music and exploring new culinary adventures fuels their creativity and keeps their ventures on the cutting edge. From the globally inspired menus at Khubani to the ever-evolving concepts for new outlets, their travels are a constant source of inspiration. In this way, they serve as role models for aspiring entrepreneurs, demonstrating that success requires not just hard work, but a life rich with experiences that spark innovation.
Demonstrating their relentless drive, the Madan brothers haven’t stopped expanding their empire. Following the successful launch of Begam in Defence Colony, they wasted no time in bringing the concept to Noida, just five months later. The momentum continues with Imperfecto, with a new boutique outlet opened in Dwarka and a further five on the horizon.
Their vision extends far beyond Delhi, with Goa, Mumbai and even the global market all firmly in their sights.
