Elanpro Leads Dialogue on Food Safety and Sustainable Hospitality in Pune

Pune, February 17, 2026: With Pune’s food service and hospitality sector scaling rapidly across multiple formats, industry stakeholders are placing renewed emphasis on operational discipline, compliance preparedness and sustainable infrastructure.
Responding to this need, Elanpro, leading commercial refrigeration solution company, today announced Pune edition of Saksham, a knowledge-led industry platform focused on improving food safety practices and operational standards across food, beverage and hospitality businesses.
The announcement was made at a press conference outlining the programme’s objectives, industry relevance and expected ecosystem impact. Present at the conference were Mr. Sanjay Jain, Director, Elanpro, Mr. P. Sravan Kumar, President, HCF along with industry representatives.
Experts noted that while food businesses are expanding rapidly, temperature control discipline, refrigeration upkeep and audit readiness often remain inconsistent, resulting in avoidable wastage, safety exposure and financial risk.
Saksham Pune aims to address these gaps through expert-led sessions and cross-industry dialogue involving chefs, hotel engineers, food business operators, facility managers and compliance professionals.
The one-day programme will focus on three core pillars: Food Safety and Hygiene, Compliance Readiness, and Sustainability in Hospitality Operations.
Sessions will include temperature management practices, refrigeration’s role in food integrity, preventive maintenance systems, kitchen risk controls, grease and wastewater management, and the cost impact of non-compliance. Panel discussions will examine how equipment selection and operating SOPs directly influence safety outcomes.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Sanjay Jain, Director, Elanpro said, “Food businesses today operate at unprecedented scale and speed. Sustainable growth requires strong operational systems and informed technical decisions. Saksham is designed to bridge knowledge gaps and equip teams with practical frameworks that can be implemented immediately.”
Speaking at the event Mr. Sravan Kumar, President, HCF said, “As the industry expands, strengthening food safety fundamentals and compliance readiness becomes critical. Collaborative knowledge-sharing initiatives such as Saksham help raise professional standards while supporting responsible and sustainable growth.”
Saksham is being developed as an ongoing industry platform rather than a one-time event, with city-specific editions planned to address local operational realities and sector needs. Following earlier editions in other cities, the Pune chapter is expected to deepen industry capability and encourage more responsible and efficient food infrastructure practices.
