Daniel During, managing partner of Ping Pong said, "After our initial expansion into the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, the Asian market was obviously the next step in Ping Pong's growth. Mirah hospitality understands and has expertise of the Indian food and beverage sector, as well as a great passion for successful brands, making Mirah an obvious partner for Ping Pong."
