In the heart of Odisha’s Khordha district, a gastronomic revolution is unfolding.

This monumental initiative is a testament to Dr. Das’s unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and community development. As a stalwart in the corporate world, Dr. Das has consistently demonstrated his ability to think outside the box, pushing boundaries and achieving remarkable success.
The brainchild of Dr. Das, Apple Tree Hotel and Resort’s food court is an ode to India’s rich culinary diversity. Spanning an impressive 15,000 sqft, this gastronomic haven will feature an extensive array of cuisines from every corner of the country. From the spicy flavors of Andhra Pradesh to the delicate nuances of Kashmiri cuisine, every state’s unique culinary identity will be showcased in all its glory.
Imagine strolling through a vibrant food court, surrounded by the enticing aromas of India’s most beloved dishes. Savor the rich flavors of Bengal’s mishti doi, indulge in the creamy textures of Punjab’s makki di roti, or sample the fiery delights of Tamil Nadu’s Chettinad cuisine. This incredible culinary journey will be a reality at Apple Tree Hotel and Resort’s food court, where the diverse flavors of India will come together in perfect harmony.
But that’s not all. This revolutionary food court will be open 24/7, ensuring that visitors can indulge in their favorite cuisines at any time.

The venue’s stunning architecture, set amidst a picturesque backdrop of mountains covered in lush greenery, will provide a breathtaking view that will leave visitors spellbound. With a massive parking area of 22,000 sqft, convenience and accessibility have been carefully integrated into the design.
Dr. Subhasish Das’s vision for Apple Tree Hotel and Resort’s food court goes beyond just creating a culinary destination. This initiative is designed to promote cross-cultural understanding, foster community engagement, and provide a platform for local artisans and chefs to showcase their talents.
As a champion of innovation and sustainability, Dr. Das has ensured that this project will have a positive impact on the local community. By providing employment opportunities in hospitality, management, and culinary arts, Apple Tree Hotel and Resort’s food court will contribute significantly to the region’s economic growth and development.
Under Dr. Das’s leadership, Housify, the construction company behind Apple Tree Hotel and Resort, has consistently demonstrated its commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable housing solutions. This latest initiative is a shining example of the company’s dedication to innovation, customer-centricity, and community development.
Behind every successful leader is a pillar of strength, and for Dr. Subhashis Das, that pillar is his wife, Mrs. Atasi Das. As a homemaker, mother, and Executive Director, she embodies the perfect blend of love, care, and business acumen. Dr. Das often credits her as the backbone of his business, and her unconditional support has been instrumental in his success. With her keen insights and dedication, Mrs. Das plays a vital role in shaping the organization’s future, making her an indispensable part of the team.
