Singh completed his schooling at Mayo College, Ajmer, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Symbiosis, Pune, and a Master’s in International Business from IIFT. After completing his education, he joined his family’s export business with the aim of helping it expand. However, he soon realized that his true calling lay elsewhere. Despite coming from a business family, he chose to step away from the conventional path and carve out his own identity.

It took years of hard work, market understanding, and in-depth learning about the F&B industry before he finally launched his dream venture in 2012 — Raasta, a Caribbean lounge designed to bring alive a more free-spirited and vibrant approach to life. Today, Raasta stands among the most popular and profitable nightlife destinations in the country.

Joy introduced Delhi to a Reggae-themed lounge at a time when the nightlife scene was dominated almost entirely by Bollywood and EDM music. He consciously went against the grain to offer Delhiites a completely fresh experience in terms of music, vibe, and culture. Raasta became a platform for discovering and nurturing young and emerging talent, introducing audiences to Reggae and several other alternative music genres.

Artists such as Nucleya, Reggae Rajahs, and Prabh Deep began their journeys with Raasta during their early days as resident performers. Over the years, Raasta has become an integral part of India’s evolving music and gig culture, consistently setting high standards since its inception.

Joy Singh played a major role in transforming Hauz Khas Village into one of Delhi’s most celebrated party destinations nearly a decade ago. With immense support and love from patrons across cities, Raasta expanded successfully to multiple locations including Cyber Hub, Gurgaon, and Khar, Mumbai. What makes the brand unique is its welcoming atmosphere and positive vibe that instantly makes guests feel at home.

At Raasta, regular visitors are treated like family, creating a sense of belonging that truly reflects the spirit of Reggae culture. A recipient of the Mid-Day Iconic Restaurateur Award, Joy firmly believes that hands-on involvement and personal attention from the owner are what truly set a hospitality brand apart. Known for his warm smile and approachable personality, he is often personally present at one of his outlets, connecting effortlessly with guests and patrons alike.

An IIFT alumnus, Joy believes that originality and patience are the two most essential qualities required to maintain the standards of a successful restaurant business. The growth of his self-funded ventures since 2012 stands as a testament to the power of passion, persistence, and hard work, especially considering that neither he nor his partners came from a traditional F&B background.
