BLVD Club By Embassy’s New Menu Brings Global Comfort With A Gourmet Touch

* BLVD Club by Embassy Introduces a Reimagined Menu Curated by Chef Vikas Seth, Celebrating Global Comfort and Culinary Craft

BLVD Club by Embassy, Bengaluru’s premier destination for refined living and dining, unveils a thoughtfully reimagined menu that invites guests to travel the world—one plate at a time. Curated by award-winning Chef Vikas Seth, this new culinary chapter blends nostalgic comfort with global finesse, crafted to delight both the curious palate and the discerning gourmand.

The new menu is rooted in storytelling—where ingredients, technique, and texture converge to create memorable dining moments. From Asian street-style signatures and elegant European plates to deeply comforting Indian curries, every dish is layered with intention, detail, and soul.

A Celebration of Global Tastes

The journey begins with vibrant small plates designed to spark intrigue. Scarlet Delight Brie & Cranberry Crostini brings together sweet-tart cranberry relish and nutty brie on crisp sourdough, while the Nawabi Panna Tikki, made with quinoa and green peas, delivers a flavour-packed vegetarian bite. Smoky Hot Quesadilla and Togarashi Sweet Potato bring the heat with global spice blends, while seafood lovers will relish the bold and buttery Olé Gambas Pil Pil and Ginger Browned Chicken infused with tamarind and lemongrass.

Rich, meaty mains take centre stage with the chargrilled Gochujang-Glazed Pork Belly, flaky golden Crackling Lamb, and the robust Railway Mutton Curry, an Anglo-Indian classic revived with whole spices and mustard oil. Comforting vegetarian heroes like Oudhi Pasanda—cottage cheese stuffed with spiced nuts—and the aromatic Mausamee Tarkari Handi offer depth and complexity.

Sandwiches, Burgers & Plates with Personality

For casual indulgence with serious flavour, try the Spiced Lamb Burger, boldly seared and tucked in a toasted brioche bun, or the Feta, Pesto Harvest Stack, grilled between focaccia and packed with earthy freshness. The BLVD Club Special, inspired by the Earl of Sandwich, layers roasted mayo chicken, fried egg, and cheese in a hearty classic. And the Croque Monsieur, with ham and Emmental, is buttery comfort done right.

Salads like the Burrata Fiesta, with grapes, lettuce and a pistachio dukkah crunch, bring freshness and elegance to the table.

A Grand Tour of the World

Hearty dishes like Kukkad de Biryani, Kairi Jhinga, and The Peppery Tofu represent a pan-Indian and Southeast Asian medley of comforting gravies and stir-fries. Sambal Udang, soaked in bold, spicy sambal oelek, is a tribute to Southeast Asian depth of flavour, while the indulgent BLVD Lobster/Prawn Risotto topped with cherry tomatoes, walnuts and citrus zest, evokes the romance of coastal Europe.

The menu’s continental offerings are equally compelling, from the slow-simmered Tuscan Ragu Pappardelle to the rich Steak House Special, a tenderloin grilled to a golden crust and served with classic sides.

A Sweet Finish That Lingers

Desserts are crafted with as much detail as the mains. The Bombay Falooda Kulfi brings Indian summer nostalgia to the table with cornflour noodles and rose syrup, while Paan Ice Cream offers a contemporary spin on a timeless after-meal ritual. For chocolate lovers, the Italian Chocolate Salami is an irresistible no-bake roulade infused with Amaretto and cocoa, presented on a grazing platter made for sharing.

“The new menu at BLVD Club by Embassy is a celebration of comfort and creativity. We’ve brought together ingredients and inspirations from across the world and rooted them in a sense of storytelling. The idea was to create not just a menu, but a journey—one that delights, surprises, and connects through flavour,” shares Chef Vikas Seth, Culinary Director, Embassy Leisure.

With this refreshed menu, BLVD Club by Embassy invites Bengaluru’s gourmands, families, and city explorers to discover a dining experience that is immersive, inventive, and layered with heart.

ManipalCigna Health Insurance Conducts CPR Workshop & Insurance Awareness Camp For BMTC Drivers

ManipalCigna Health Insurance, one of India’s leading health insurance companies in collaboration with Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation, conducted a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training session along with a health insurance awareness camp in Hennur, Bengaluru. This initiative is in line with ManipalCigna Health Insurance’s larger goal of creating health insurance awareness across the state of Karnataka, as the lead health insurer under the State Insurance Awareness Plan by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI).

Recognizing the vital role of BMTC frontline staff, including drivers and conductors, in ensuring public safety and mobility, this special session was held to empower them with essential life-saving skills and promote preventive healthcare. The event featured expert-led CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) training, aimed at equipping BMTC staff with the skills needed to respond effectively in emergencies. Given their position as first responders in many situations, the ability to perform CPR during cardiac or respiratory arrest can significantly increase survival rates, reinforcing their crucial role in safeguarding public health and safety.

Sapna Desai, Chief Marketing Officer, ManipalCigna Health Insurance, said, “BMTC’s frontline staff are the backbone of Bengaluru’s transportation system, ensuring the safety of millions of commuters every day. We are pleased to see their enthusiastic participation in today’s CPR training session, which comes at a crucial time given the rising incidence of cardiac emergencies in India. Nearly 90% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests go without life-saving CPR due to a lack of public preparedness. Training programs like this not only enhance individual readiness but also strengthen the nation’s ability to respond to healthcare emergencies. We are proud to support their preparedness through this camp while also raising awareness about the importance of health insurance.”

Through such efforts, ManipalCigna Health Insurance strives to improve health outcomes and expand health insurance adoption across India.

·         Wealth-tech platform transforms middle-class families’ gold savings and investments

·         Backed by prominent investors such as Tiger Global and Arkam Ventures, Jar has gained nationwide recognition with over 20 million users, offering an intuitive and trustworthy platform for saving and investing in gold

Jar, an innovative wealth tech platform, is revolutionizing savings and investments for its users, through its user-friendly interface and emphasis on simplicity and convenience. Eliminating the hassle involved in one-time investments of huge funds, Jar’s daily savings allows users, especially those from the working population, to accumulate their savings gradually, over a period, in a seamless manner.

Jar has experienced a steady growth trajectory from 6 million users in FY22, to more 20 million users at present, a testament to its increasing popularity and reliance among users. Through its modernized concept of a piggy bank, the app is playing a major role in removing various hurdles in the landscape of savings and investments. Retaining the simplicity of a piggy bank concept, Jar is enabling users to develop financial stability and enjoy the benefits of gold savings.

"At Jar, we have two major goals: to simplify savings and investments for all users and fostering financial awareness. To simplify the process and make it accessible for all users, we leverage UPI 2.0 and incorporate features like automated round-offs.

For Prabhakar, an auto-rickshaw driver from Karnataka, Jar has been instrumental in helping him build financial resilience. With a long-standing dream of buying a gold ornament, he leveraged Jar’s incremental savings model, beginning with 0.1mg of gold and steadily building his funds to achieve his goal. Highlighting the importance of cultivating a consistent savings habit, he says, “Given a lack of a financial safety net, I realized that I had to rely on my own savings. This motivated me to redirect my spending from impulse purchases towards meaningful investments that would help me fulfill my dream of buying a gold ornament, which would have remained stagnant otherwise.”

Through its innovative approach to micro-savings, Jar is resonating with users across Karnataka, offering a straightforward path to achieving long-term financial goals.

Bidadi Industries Association Foundation Hosts 2nd Edition Of Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon, Championing Fitness, Safety & Sustainability

The Bidadi Industries Association Foundation (BIAF) successfully hosted the 2nd edition of the Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon on 23rd March 2025 at Jollywood Studios, nestled in the scenic Bidadi Industrial Area on the outskirts of Bengaluru. Centred around the theme “Run for Safety & Sustainability,” witnessed a turnout of over 4,500 registered participants from diverse walks of life—highlighting a rising passion for fitness, road safety awareness, and environmental responsibility. Toyota Kirloskar Motor, given its strong commitment to road safety and sustainability, proudly supported the event as the Title Sponsor.

India continues to grapple with alarming road safety challenges—over 1,50,000 fatalities occur annually due to road crashes, making it the highest globally. Shockingly, road traffic injuries remain the leading cause of death among individuals aged 5 to 29 years. In this backdrop, the marathon stood as a meaningful platform to raise awareness, advocate responsible road behaviour, and inspire change.

The marathon served as a powerful testament to community spirit, resilience, and collective action, bringing together participants from over 30 industries, fitness enthusiasts, community members, and a remarkable group of more than 1,000 runners from Toyota Kirloskar Motor.

The event also saw the active participation of key government official from Ramanagara—Mr. Yashwanth Gurukar, IAS, Deputy Commissioner; underscoring the strong, shared commitment to promoting health, safety, and sustainability, reinforcing the marathon’s deeper purpose beyond the run.

Present at the occasion, Mr. Sudeep Dalvi, Chief Communication Officer, Senior Vice President and Head State Affairs, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “At Toyota, we strongly believe in empowering communities through sustainable initiatives that promote health, safety, and well-being. The Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon is more than just a race—it is a testament to our vision of creating a fitter, safer, and more environmentally responsible future. By bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds, industries, and communities, this marathon has demonstrated the power of unity in driving meaningful change. We are incredibly proud of the enthusiastic participation and unwavering support received from all stakeholders. Toyota remains committed to championing such initiatives that inspire people to take charge of their fitness while advocating for road safety and sustainability.”

As part of a broader awareness drive, the marathon featured impactful road safety hoardings, street plays, and skits led by students and volunteers to educate participants and spectators on responsible road behaviour and sustainability. The active involvement of children and youth fostered deeper community engagement, reinforcing the event’s inclusive spirit. With race categories for all fitness levels—including 3K, 5K, 10K, 21K Timed Runs, and a fun-filled 3K Majja Run—the event drew participants from all walks of life, including senior citizens, bureaucrats, and community members, who were recognized and awarded for their commitment to health, safety, and the environment.

The BIA Foundation, established in 2023 and formally registered under the Indian Trust Act, continues to drive impactful community development initiatives across the Ramanagara district. Powered by the collective contributions of industries in and around the Bidadi Industrial Area, the foundation remains committed to creating sustainable, long-term change. The Toyota Bidadi Half Marathon was not just a celebration of physical endurance—it was a rallying call for health, safety, and sustainability. By bringing together individuals, industries, and institutions for a common cause, the event left a lasting imprint on the community, reinforcing the values of unity, awareness, and collective responsibility that lie at the heart of the foundation’s mission.
