Events Recap

On behalf of my team, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all the attendees, for gifting us with your enthused presence and delightful participation at last Friday’s “Meet & Greet with Ranveer Brar” organized by IAGB and hosted by Peppino’s Dosa, Waltham.

IAGB, the oldest and largest Indian American organization in the New England area, has been serving the Indian American community since 1962. IAGB’s commitment has been to uphold our community as a place where our fellow community members can enjoy superior quality of socio-cultural, civic, educational, community service and Pan-India engagements – and thus, has been playing a very important role in bringing the diverse Indian communities together.

Last Friday’s meet and greet with super star Master chef Ranveer Brar was so much in harmony with the community charter we hold so close to our heart, **working together in building a stronger community**!

My team and I were thrilled to have such a beautiful gathering of people from the Indian American community at the fabulous Peppini’s Dosa in Waltham to engage with Mr. Brar wholeheartedly and genuinely. It felt like a large family gathering engaging with Chef Brar in a variety of ways, including hearing from the star about his culinary journey, how he has explored new places, cultures and flavors, and hearing about his behind-the-scenes experiences about his culinary career and the challenges he has faced in becoming what he is today. The cherry on the cake was the quick photo op with this endearingly handsome celebrity.

A lot went in to arrange this cozy meet & greet. My team and I worked very hard to pull it off with less than 24 hours’ notice. What drove us to do it? YOU! Yes, each one of you, from our beloved Indian American community.
IAGB hopes that you enjoyed attending the event as much as we enjoyed organizing it, at turbo speed 🙂

We hope to see you at our next event which is our signature Grand Republic Day Mela in the month of January 2025 at the Burlington High School. Stay tuned for more details that we will be releasing very soon!

We have shared the official photo album of the “Meet & Greet with Ranveer Brar” event with all attendees via email. Hope you like the pictures we clicked for your family and you, all thanks to our wonderful photographer Eshan Mehta!
