The Man Who Built Bangalore's Nightlife — Part 1

Before brunches had DJs — one man changed Bangalore's nightlife forever.

Did this hit?

Before brunches had DJs, before breweries became the weekend plan, before any of the infrastructure that defines Bangalore's nightlife today — Ananth Narayan was already there, building it. This two-part episode of The VIC Fix is one of the most important conversations in the show's entire catalogue.

Part 1 covers the early journey: how Ananth saw what Bangalore's nightlife could be before anyone else did, and what it took to start building it from nothing.

“Bangalore didn't have a nightlife scene. We built it. Night by night, venue by venue.”
