Hyderabad, 3rd February 2026: Since 2012, Windmills Craftworks has been a design-led space –
where music, craft beer, global cuisine, and architecture converge in an intimate setting. Known for
its immersive experiences across Bengaluru, India and Texas, USA, Windmills Craftworks celebrates
savouring the present through sound, taste and shared moments. This weekend, that signature Jazz
Theatre experience arrived in Hyderabad with a carefully curated evening headlined by the
acclaimed Stéphane Wrembel Trio, who brought the soul of Gypsy Jazz from the outskirts of Paris to
the heart of Hyderabad.
Stéphane Wrembel, inspired by Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy Jazz tradition, is celebrated worldwide for
his distinctive sound – featured in films like Midnight in Paris and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Joined by
Josh Kaye on guitar and Ari Folman-Cohen on bass, the trio performed a set rich with colorful lyricism
and the timelessness of Gypsy Jazz. The evening at Windmills Craftworks drew attendees completely
into the music, setting the tone for vision as a music-first destination for discerning audiences.
The launch drew patrons, music lovers and connoisseurs of culture from across the city, such as Naga
Chaitanya (Indian actor and entrepreneur), Sobhita Dhulipala (Indian actress), Rohin Dharmakumar
(Co-founder and CEO of The Ken), Laura E. Williams (Consul General at the U.S. Consulate in
Hyderabad), who spent the evening fully immersed in the Windmills Craftworks experience. Guests
savoured thoughtfully curated dishes and enjoyed craft brews while exploring a library of hand-
picked books on art, design, architecture and music – all this introduced to Hyderabad for the very
first time.
Kamal Sagar, Founder of Windmills Craftworks, said, “At its heart, Windmills Craftworks honours
music in its purest form – sounds that move you and stay with you. Launching in Hyderabad with the
Stéphane Wremble Trio felt like the perfect expression of that belief. I’ve been a long-time admirer of
their work, and seeing the city embrace this experience so wholeheartedly reaffirmed our conviction
that great music and food deserve great spaces.”
Akshay Puljal, General Manager of Windmills Craftworks (Hyderabad) added, “We love creating
experiences rooted in music, arts, and crafts – spaces where food and design meet music and meaning.
Our vision is to build Windmills Craftworks in Hyderabad as a home for discerning audiences – where
artists from around the world celebrate music and listeners feel deeply connected.”
The Hyderabad launch marks a new chapter in Windmills Craftworks’ journey to create music-led
spaces that foster meaningful connections between artists and audiences.
