BHUBANESWAR: A gathering of food bloggers and influencers titled ‘Influencer Carnival’ was organised at Esplanade One Mall here in a first-of-its-kind initiative that brought influencers from food blogging and lifestyle under one roof. The event was organised by Food Findo, the state’s largest food community.
