About company
42.1 Sports is the creative house behind some of Indias most immersive food and culture experiences.
Our brands include Bento B Indias first all-vegetarian Japanese restaurant; Blockheads a vinyl and coffee caf inspired by Japanese listening bars; and Noboru a contemporary Izakaya-style Japanese + Korean diner.
But were more than just food. Our brands are built around storytelling, subculture, and emotional resonance — where books, manga, vinyls, analog rituals, and hospitality intersect. From secret supper clubs to ramen slurp contests, curated merch to manga menus, every detail is designed to make people feel something.
Founded in 2021, 42.1 is all about playfully serious hospitality. Bold, analog, and nostalgic — but reimagined for today.
