Mumbai Pav Company is a quick service restaurant QSR that delivers authentic Mumbai-style street food in Bangalore.
MPC was founded by Jash Arora & Tanay Agarwal, two students from the founding cohort at Mesa. They formulated, clarified & tested their business as part of Mesa Startup Lab, and have seen tremendous growth in the last 1.5 years:
Focus over everything—that’s what Mesa taught us.
We built Mumbai Pav Co. by doubling down on what worked, not chasing every idea. From marketing to retention to fundraising, Mesa played a key role—bringing in mentors, investors, and hands-on support.

Everaw’s signature range is Super Spreads, which contributes about 78 percent of revenue, and it was piloted, launched, and scaled during Mesa’s business building sprint, BYOB.
Lucky entered Mesa at the ideation and family-and-friends sampling stage. The first public feedback came at Mesa’s pitch showdown, which he won through public voting. That win triggered structured testing.
Within days of the BYOB briefing on 2 July 2024, Lucky and Yash defined a new child-focused spread concept and began rapid prototyping on campus. Over 10 weeks they reached roughly 500 customers and generated about ₹2.5 lakh in rezvenue, using the sprint to test pricing, flavours, and packaging without brand pressure.
Mesa sharpened both sides of the business — the thinking and the doing.
Mock pitches forced precision. The VC class gave me term-sheet literacy and an investor's outside-in view. GTM frameworks shaped how we think about cross-sell, upsell, and packaging. On the ground, working with Epigamia through BSL showed me how scaled product teams actually run.
We closed ₹6 lakh in October without burning hard. AOV is above ₹1,000 and we're targeting 1,000 orders a month. First cheques coming soon — building Everaw into a pantry staple.

Through his time at Mesa, Aravind networked heavily, pitching his idea and getting feedback from VCs and startup leaders that came to campus. He also raised capital as part of Mesa Startup Labs at a crucial time during their expansion, and streamlined processes with the help of Ankit – Co-founder at Mesa.
Mesa prepares you for the reality—entrepreneurship is tough, especially in the early years.
Choose something you truly believe in. Because ultimately, success comes down to execution, not just the idea.

Startup Garage is for aspiring founders, employed professionals who want to build on the side, and recent graduates who want to start their career as a builder. If you have an idea — or even just the desire to start something — this program is built for you.
Approximately 15 hours per week — split across weekend masterclasses and weekday building sessions. The program is designed for people who are working or studying full-time.
No. Many of our best participants arrive without a fixed idea. The first three weeks are specifically designed to help you find, validate, and commit to one. You just need the drive to build.

A multi-day immersion at the end of the program — VC showcase, flea market sales day, and Demo Day pitches. Top 4 teams receive Rs.5 lakh in equity-free funding from the Mesa fund.
No — it is awarded to the top 4 teams based on progress, traction, and Demo Day pitch. All participants get real investor feedback. The funding is equity-free with no dilution or strings attached.
