Ridhima Kalani grew up in a small town in India, where she became the chief coordinator and planner for her family. That continued throughout her school into her time at New York University.

She was so good at finding the right place for her classmates, that she would wake up to random texts asking her to find the “best spot in NYC” for the vibe, the food, the occasion and everything in between.

The personal concierge service became The Scene, a highly personalized recommendation and reservation platform for your New York City outing.


In this episode, Ridhima shares:

  • How she was surrounded by entrepreneurship at home
  • The realization of business value when strangers texted her personal number asking for recommendations
  • The inefficiencies of existing ways to find and book restaurants
  • Her successful crowdfunding for an in-person dining app during a pandemic
  • The Scene’s special sauce, matching vibes for their customers

and so much more!
