Welcome to Prop Personalities by Prop News Time - a podcast where we sit down with influential voices to explore their journey, their work, and their perspective on how the real estate landscape connects with the businesses they are part of.

In this episode, we speak with Syesha Kapoor, a hospitality communications specialist with experience across branding, marketing, and strategy for multiple restaurant brands in India and Dubai.

The conversation looks at the real estate side of the restaurant business - from choosing the right location and negotiating rent to understanding catchment, pricing, and format decisions. We discuss how different spaces influence the kind of restaurant that can work, how rentals affect operations, and how hospitality brands plan expansion across cities.

We also talk about the role of malls vs high streets, the impact of technology and delivery platforms, customer behaviour, and the realities behind running and scaling restaurant businesses today.

Prop Personalities is a series by Prop News Time that goes beyond titles and organizations to explore the people behind the decisions shaping India’s property landscape.
