Ajit G.S has swiftly emerged as one of Bengaluru’s most exciting new-age hospitality disruptors.
His flagship venture, Central Bar District (CBD), is a bold reimagination of the neighbourhood bar — where world-class mixology meets inclusive, high-energy community culture. Built around mixologist Aman Dua’s award-winning cocktail program, CBD has quickly become a benchmark in Bengaluru’s nightlife scene, celebrated for its playful vibe, city-centric storytelling, and outstanding bar program.

Under Ajit’s leadership, CBD is now evolving into a five-outlet ecosystem across Bengaluru — with one in each direction of the city: North, South, East, West, and Central — symbolizing the brand’s deep connection to the city’s metro map and its diverse urban pulse.

Beyond nightlife, Crimson Hospitality operates a thriving multi-brand food court at Helios Business Park, serving over 10,000 corporate employees daily. The portfolio includes beloved brands such as Café Del Sol, Rasai, The Curry Express, Chat Chatore, and Bento Lab — each designed to bring freshness, flavour, and accessibility to everyday dining.
