Mr. Anil Goswami reflects on the journey, stating, “Rocking Rickshaw seamlessly blends the charm of Bollywood with a refined selection of drinks, creating a haven for both entertainment and relaxation.” He adds, “Starting with a modest outlet at Kallang Wave Mall, Singapore, our unconventional marketing approach and resilience through the COVID-19 pandemic have paved the way for our expansion. Our commitment to our loyal customers has allowed us to return stronger than ever.”

More than just a restaurant, Rocking Rickshaw is an experience that bridges modern lifestyle with a nostalgic trip to a bygone era, creating a legacy in the making.

Exploring the Indian Market 

Mr Goswami remains bullish on the Indian market. He says, “Initially I was a bit sceptical of running an outlet in India from Singapore, however, now seeing the potential, we are open to this notion and if we get the right partner from the F and B industry in India we will enter the Indian market”
