Mauji Time Café, India’s largest and Pune’s first Time Café, has launched its second outlet in Nagpur. After the overwhelming success and positive response from the Pune outlet, Mauji is ready to expand its unique community-driven concept to Maharashtra’s third-largest city. Nagpur, known for its emerging creative and entrepreneurial community, is ideal for Mauji’s second location.
Mauji is an evolved Russian concept of a time café where guests pay for the time they spend while the beverages are on the house. This expansion marks a significant step towards Mauji’s broader goal of building a nationwide network of creative, collaborative spaces where individuals can come together to share ideas, inspire one another, and foster creativity.
Guests can expect a variety of unique offerings, including collaborations with local artists, workshops, pop-up markets, and exhibitions showcasing local talent. In addition to maintaining Mauji’s core ethos, the Nagpur outlet will introduce region-specific events and experiences tailored to the local community, reflecting the café’s commitment to creating spaces that resonate with their surroundings. The new space will feature collaborative work areas, event spaces, and a range of community-driven initiatives designed to engage and inspire local patrons.
Speaking about this expansion, Vandita Purohit, Founder of Mauji Time Café, said, “Mauji is all about creating spaces that inspire creativity and foster a sense of community. Expanding to Nagpur is a deeply personal and exciting step in our journey, as it also happens to be my hometown. We look forward to bringing the Mauji experience to this vibrant city and creating a space where the Nagpur community can come together, connect, and thrive.”
Mauji’s long-term vision involves expanding its network of community-focused spaces across India. By establishing a presence in different cities, Mauji aims to cultivate a nationwide network of creatives and entrepreneurs, fostering collaboration and engagement in every location. This expansion will provide valuable insights into managing multiple locations, helping the Mauji team refine their operations, streamline team-building processes, and enhance their approach for future growth. While the current focus is on launching the Nagpur outlet, there are already plans for further expansion into other Indian cities in the near future.
In addition to the daily café offerings, Mauji Time Café in Nagpur will host a variety of community-centric events, such as workshops, panel discussions, and exhibitions. The team is dedicated to engaging with the local creative community by partnering with local artists, entrepreneurs, and organisations to host events that reflect the vibrant spirit of Nagpur. The café will also be a welcoming environment for professionals and entrepreneurs, providing a productive space where people can work, network, and collaborate on projects.
