India’s First Time Cafe is community driven

India’s First Time Cafe was launched recently in Pune. The brainchild of Vandita Purohit, an innovative mind during a time of mundanity, this unique space has evolved to encapsulate a plethora of emotions. She feels that the concept of a cafe is to offer a cherished part of our lives, offering a space to unwind, connect with friends, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee.

The charm of Mauji is not just defined by the colours it holds or the aesthetics it lies in but by the stories that each corner has to tell. A place that breathes creativity with natural affinity is what Mauji can be defined as. Purohit questions — what if a cafe could be more than just a place to grab a drink or a bite to eat? What if it could become a sanctuary, a refuge for the soul, a space where time isn’t just measured by the ticking of the clock, but by the moments that truly matter?
Mauji, a name that resonates with whimsy and individuality, has become synonymous with a space that transcends the ordinary. The café encourages freedom and relaxation, a place that uplifts spirits and inspires creativity. Mauji seamlessly blurs the lines between work and leisure.
Each room within Mauji boasts a distinct ambience, much like the kaleidoscope of individualities that make up humanity. It’s a harmonious coexistence where individuals can immerse themselves in their pursuits, be it work, reading, or heartfelt conversations. This is a place that embraces the beautifully incomplete soul seeking solace, a haven for introspection and understanding.

The concept of “Bring Your Own” amplifies the sense of comfort. One can bring their favourite food and beverage, which merges seamlessly with the captivating atmosphere. As one revels in the freedom of Mauji, its curated menu and unlimited beverages add to the experience, making it a celebration of the present moment.
Beyond the innovative concept and liberating ambience, Mauji stands out for its commitment to community and collaboration. By partnering with local artists, businesses, and entrepreneurs, it has cultivated an ecosystem where creativity thrives. This synergy fosters innovation, sparks creativity, and enriches the overall experience.

Mauji’s uniqueness lies in its dedication to being a community-driven space where a creative professional seeking inspiration, an entrepreneur in need of a cozy workspace, or an individual longing for meaningful interactions, the café welcomes all. Its diverse offerings, warm ambience, and focus on human connections create an atmosphere where customers can truly embrace their true selves.

Purohit envisions a future where the concept of a time cafe spreads to different cities and countries, touching the lives of more individuals seeking a space that celebrates their uniqueness.
