GIFT City, India’s first operational smart city and International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), has announced that Bastian Hospitality, one of India’s leading premium food and beverage groups, will make its Gujarat debut with a flagship dining and lifestyle destination at Central Park, GIFT City.
The new venue, Bastian Republic, will manage the one lakh sq. ft. food zone within Central Park, marking a significant step in strengthening GIFT City’s evolving social and lifestyle ecosystem. Developed as part of Phase 1, the food zone integrates public plazas, event areas, jogging and cycling tracks, and vibrant leisure spaces — reflecting GIFT City’s vision of a world-class urban environment that unites business, living, and recreation. “Bastian’s entry marks a major addition to our expanding social ecosystem,” said Sanjay Kaul, Managing Director & Group CEO, GIFT City. “Its presence will enhance the lifestyle experience for professionals, residents, and visitors, underscoring marquee brands’ confidence in GIFT City’s global vision.”

Expanding Footprint of a Premium F&B Brand
Ranjit Bindra, CEO and Founder of Bastian Hospitality, said, “GIFT City represents the future of India — visionary, innovative, and globally ambitious. We aim to create a destination that celebrates food and culture in a world-class setting.”
From its beginnings as a seafood-focused restaurant, Bastian has evolved into a multi-concept hospitality group redefining India’s dining and nightlife scene — from Italian indulgence at Bizza and Peruvian-Asian flair at Inka, to the comfort of One Street, charm of Blondie Café, and regional richness of Ammakai. Each concept blends gastronomy with art, music, and culture — a philosophy that will shape its new GIFT City destination.
Bastian is also in advanced talks to launch another outlet within GIFT City, further expanding its footprint in Gujarat.
