Bastian Hospitality is entering Gujarat with a flagship dining and lifestyle destination at GIFT City’s Central Park. The upcoming venue, Bastian Republic, will operate the food zone spread across one lakh sq. ft. at Central Park, marking a major milestone in enhancing GIFT City’s growing social and lifestyle ecosystem.
Strengthening GIFT City’s social infrastructure
Bastian Republic will operate the food zone which has been developed as part of phase 1 of the Central Park along with public plazas, event areas, jogging and cycling tracks, and vibrant social spaces. The development underscores GIFT City’s commitment to building a world-class urban environment that seamlessly integrates business, living, and leisure.
Leaders share their vision for the partnership
Sanjay Kaul, Managing Director & Group CEO, GIFT City, said, “The entry of Bastian into GIFT City marks a significant addition to our expanding social ecosystem. Bastian’s presence will bring a new dimension to the city’s lifestyle experience, benefitting professionals, residents, and visitors alike. This development also reflects the growing confidence of marquee brands in GIFT City’s vision as a modern, vibrant, and globally connected urban centre.”
Ranjit Bindra, CEO and Founder of Bastian Hospitality, added, “GIFT City represents the future of India—a space built on vision, innovation, and global ambition. Bringing Bastian here is not just about expanding our footprint, but about being part of something that adds to the nation’s growth story. We aim to create a destination that celebrates food and culture in a way that feels truly world-class.”
Expanding the Bastian experience
Evolving from a seafood-focused restaurant, Bastian now defines India’s modern dining scene with diverse concepts like Bizza, Inka, One Street, Blondie Café, and Ammakai. The new GIFT City venue continues this philosophy, blending food, culture, and community in a world-class setting.
A growing lifestyle and business hub
In addition to the Central Park project, Bastian is also in advanced talks with developers at GIFT City to set up another outlet within the city, further strengthening its footprint in Gujarat.
With this development, GIFT City continues to shape its identity as a complete “live, work, play” destination, supported by growing social infrastructure that includes international universities, a five-star hotel, GIFT City Club, upcoming riverfront development, and metro connectivity to Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
