Here is an inspirational story of an empty young boy to a plenty
young man. Zero rupees to thirty crores.
He came to Mumbai from Chennai at the age of 17. He was robbed on
his first day in Mumbai. But he decided that Mumbai is the place for him to live.
He doesn’t know Hindi, but somehow found a job in a small hotel as a utensil
cleaner. He started earning 150 per month. He started working hard and in his
leisure time, he used to spend time with the chef and started learning some
food items.
After two years, he started a small hotel on Handicraft outside the
Vashi railway station. He didn’t compromise on the quality of food items.
Slowly, his business was increased and forced him to invite two of his brothers
from Chennai.
After a few more years, he shifted his hotel from handicraft to a
shop. So many students, employees were his regular customers. With the help of
students, he learned about the internet. By seeing the different recipe videos,
he started implementing in his hotel. In a year, he added 26 varieties of dosa
in his menu. By 2002, his restaurant had 102 varieties of dosa.
He had a small wish to keep an outlet in a shopping mall. But many
malls didn’t accept his plea. After much struggle, he got permission from
Center One Mall in Vashi because most of the workers at that mall were his
regular customers. This turned to be the major success in his business.
By 2012, he opened 45 restaurants across India & 7 restaurants
in different parts of the world. They all under one name called DOSA PLAZA and
the founder is none other than Prem Ganapathy.
