While the pandemic shoved a massive dent into all our travel plans, 22-year-olds Aaron Barboza and Arnav Sheth weren’t quite ready to give up on enjoying their favourite cuisines just yet. To satisfy their cravings and create experiences similar to the ones they had before the pandemic, the two Mumbaikars began their Instagram venture Koi. The duo began this venture on the side - Barboza is a business analyst while Sheth works as a strategy and operations analyst. “When we started Koi last year in July, we wanted to recreate the travel experience for people. For Arnav and myself, travel meant exposure to different kinds of cuisines, and that’s the experience we would like to bring to people through Koi. Since people didn’t have the opportunity to travel during the pandemic, we thought we’d offer the world to them via food,” says Barboza.
