As the co-holder of the Subway brand in South India, I was entrusted with the responsibility of spearheading the development of the brand, launching new restaurants, franchising, overseeing franchisee network growth, and managing diverse operational functions ranging from marketing to supply chain management. In 2006, I became the world's youngest DA and MFO co-holder of Subway. I successfully managed 121 restaurants under my purview before the pandemic and 95 currently operational amidst the challenging Covid period. In addition to my co-holding responsibilities, I also co-own a few restaurants under a separate business entity.

I have leveraged my extensive experience to successfully manage and operate a chain of authentic Indian restaurants. These restaurants cater to over 4000 customers daily, with a seating capacity exceeding 550 people at each location. My primary focus has always been on delivering an exceptional dining experience while optimizing high-capacity operations. To achieve this, I have assembled a team of highly skilled professionals who excel in menu planning, food preparation, customer service, and logistics management. Their unwavering commitment has played a crucial role in maintaining the consistency and quality of our food and service. Our steadfast dedication to streamlining operations has enabled us to efficiently manage a high volume of orders without compromising on the quality of our products, resulting in outstanding customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Mission Statement: "FIGHTING AGAINST HUNGER IN THE COMMUNITY"FTHF was created to fight hunger and provide shelter to the homeless and needy during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the nationwide lockdown was announced, my little daughters asked me how the people on the streets would manage food. We quickly sprung into action, and with whatever limited resources we had and with the help of our restaurant staff, we started cooking food and serving it to those who needed it.During the period of 23rd March, 2020 till 19th May, 2020, we served approximately 650,000 people with food, provided accommodation to a few hundred at government-allowed campuses via Karnataka State Police, and distributed a limited quantity of meals in collaboration with BBMP and Swiggy. Our friends and family contributed to keep us going, and Britannia sponsored cakes and biscuits.To learn more about our initiative and support our cause, please visit us on social media:Facebook - @feedthehungry.inInstagram - feedthehungry.inTwitter - @feedthehungryfo

During the summer after my 10th grade exams, I had the opportunity to complete a summer internship at a Subway restaurant. This experience provided me with a valuable introduction to the food service industry and helped me develop key skills such as teamwork, customer service, and attention to detail. As a summer intern, I was responsible for tasks such as taking customer orders, preparing food items, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards, and ensuring a positive customer experience. I was able to observe and learn from experienced restaurant staff members, who taught me about the importance of quality control, efficiency, and safety in a food service environment. This internship not only gave me hands-on experience, but also helped me develop a strong work ethic and a passion for the food service industry.
