Vishal, known as CHNDRA, is the Strategic Partner of The Coffee Lab. He manages the strategic direction whilst being involved in all aspects of its operation. He leverages his experience in the music industry and expansive network, to elevate the Coffee Lab brand.

He’s also an established DJ and the co-founder of ZENG, a music community and culture brand that has experienced significant growth over the past year. ZENG has achieved major milestones, including its first festival booking, presence on two radio shows (Subtle and Mode Radio), and organising various music events, both independently and collaboratively as a brand, featuring well-known names as well as emerging underground talent.

Vishal’s love for music dates back to his early teens, when he and Coffee Lab's very own Manpal (MEZZ.B) discovered their passion for electronic music while attending the best events and festivals across London. These early experiences, where they spent their limited funds to see their favourite artists perform live, created lasting memories—though the long rides on the N9 bus back to West London in the early hours were a challenge no one should have to endure! Fast forward 10–15 years, and both are now DJs with their own music brands, where they continue to channel their passion for music.

Coffee Lab was born out of a love for coffee, the atmosphere of independent coffee shops, and a deep appreciation for house music, all of which combine to create the unique Coffee Lab experience.

Vishal's favourite coffee is an iced latte, and you can expect to see him with one in hand during summer—his favourite time of year, being a July baby. After all, house music, sunshine, and lattes are the perfect trio!
