Job Title: Talent Acquisition Executive
Location: Ahmedabad
Experience Required: 3–6 years
About Us:
42.1 Pvt Ltd builds food spaces that are rooted in culture, community, and clean, thoughtful food. Its brands include Bento B, a Japanese diner present across multiple cities serving bento boxes, ramen, sushi, and comfort-driven Japanese meals; Blockheads, a vinyl café focused on burgers, sandos, coffee, and desserts inspired by Japanese kissaten and listening bar culture; Noboru, an intimate diner that brings together Japanese and Korean comfort food, coffee, and a slower, reflective dining experience; Latreia Korean Bakery, a Korean bakery focused on fresh breads baked early every morning by a Korean baker; and KOJA, a quick-service restaurant concept designed around high-quality food, efficient service, and a welcoming dining experience, bringing the same attention to quality, hospitality, and operational excellence that defines the 42.1 portfolio.
Together, these brands focus on creating meaningful food experiences rather than just restaurants. Each concept has a clear identity—from Japanese diner food and Korean bakery items to burgers, sandos, and quick-service dining—while sharing the same philosophy of quality ingredients, cultural inspiration, and spaces designed for people to gather, eat well, and feel comfortable.
