Kazin DMC, a leading name in inbound tourism and destination management, today announced its strategic foray into the hospitality sector with the launch of ‘Kazin Entertainment’. The new venture will debut with the opening of Jalsa, an up-scale summer bar in Almaty, followed by a series of vibrant Indian-themed cafes in key tourist destinations across Kazakhstan. This bold expansion underscores Kazin’s commitment to enriching Kazakhstan’s cultural and culinary landscape while catering to the evolving preferences of travellers and locals alike.
Jalsa
Kazin Entertainment marks the company’s first step into experiential hospitality, blending Kazin DMC’s 10 years of expertise in tourism with innovative concepts designed to celebrate cultural diversity. The flagship project, Jalsa (meaning ‘celebration’ in Hindi/Urdu), will open in Almaty in April 2025. Jalsa promises a sophisticated ambiance, exquisite cocktails, and an immersive nightlife experience, setting a new standard for luxury entertainment in the region.
Indian Cafés Across Kazakhstan
Subsequent phases will see the rollout of ‘Indian Cafés’ in high-traffic tourist locations. These cafés will serve authentic Indian street food, specialty chai, and regional delicacies, providing a sensory journey through India’s rich culinary heritage. Each location will feature vibrant decor, cultural performances, and interactive experiences to create memorable moments for visitors.
Bridging Cultures, Creating Connections
“Kazin has always been a bridge between Kazakhstan and the world,” said Rohit Shorey, Founder and CEO of Kazin DMC. “With Kazin Entertainment, we aim to deepen cultural connections by introducing spaces where people can gather, savour new flavours, and celebrate life. Jalsa and our Indian cafés are just the beginning—we envision a hospitality portfolio that reflects the diversity and warmth of the destinations we represent.”
The move into hospitality aligns with Kazakhstan’s growing tourism sector and rising demand for unique, localized experiences. By integrating Indian cultural elements with Kazakh hospitality, Kazin Entertainment seeks to position itself as a pioneer in cross-cultural dining and entertainment.
