Hong Kong has no shortage of visionaries nor entrepreneurs. Yet, few can claim to have built a living, thriving, even thrilling business from more sense than dollars!\u00a0 <\/span>The unassuming duo, founder SANDEEP SEKHRI and his executive director <\/span>SANDIP GUPTA have written a bold new chapter in Hong Kong\u2019s culinary history. <\/span>It is much more than a mere chapter of great food and fine wine. It is an epic saga of courage, strength, sacrifice, resilience and unshakable faith. <\/span><\/h2>\n

Fate dealt Sandeep Sekhri a hand in 2002. The young, spirited hospitality professional suddenly found himself at cross roads with no road signs to show the way.<\/p>\n

Was the dead-end a new beginning? Should he take this lonely transparent stairway? There were no answers, no writing on the wall. Little did the young Sekhri know that that was the magic moment\u2014the moment that would forever mark, his tryst with destiny.<\/p>\n

In the absence of no direction, there remained only one option\u2014to turn inward. He did. And it was within, where he found the seeds from which grew today\u2019s iconic Dining Concepts \u2013 a company that has carved a niche for itself as Hong Kong\u2019s undisputed market leader for spectacular dining and entertainment \u2013 offerings \u2013 with a spell-binding difference.<\/p>\n

Mr.Value-able!<\/strong>
Dining Concepts is the brainchild of SANDEEP SEKHRI, an Indian entrepreneur who dared to dream. Armed with a keen sense of fair play, a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of customer behavior, his indomitable spirit led him to craft a shining, spectacular new face of Hong Kong\u2019s dining and nightlife scene!<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s All About Value<\/h3>\n

\u201cServing a market that works hard and plays harder, one quickly learns the nature of this particular customer,\u201d says Sandeep Sekhri, founder of Dining Concepts. \u201cWe are serving a very discerning, sophisticated, cash-rich yet value-conscious market that is and has every right to be, spoilt for choice. To woo this market is merely a first step. Retaining the customer is the real challenge. You need to be constantly changing, impressing, while keeping your value consistent. This is incredibly hard to do in an environment of escalating costs and shrinking human resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been pragmatic in our general approach but I am quite a trusting person by nature. The Dining Concepts management team is proof that in a world so divided, the power of trust still reigns. My trust in them (staff) has been well rewarded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sekhri\u2019s balancing act though has borne fruit with many of the Group\u2019s outlets dominating popular social media thanks to ecstatic customers and their glamorous selfies. Cocktails at Dear Lily, Dragonfly and Iron Fairies remain Instagram hotties, while Bread Street Kitchen, Spiga, Al Molo rule the roost as restaurants to see and be seen in. The Group\u2019s relatively recent foray into healthy, all-day snack-type fare has brought Hong Kong diners \u2014 Le Pain Quotidien \u2014 which from day one, remains a runaway success.<\/p>\n
