He, the 17 year old boy,
reached Mumbai is search of job. It was not a great start for him. He
was looted outside the Bandra station for the only rupees 200 he had and
other belongings. He lost everything excluding the clothes he was
wearing. Before coming to Mumbai, he worked in Chennai and earned
rupees 250 a month. He would send the money to his family in
Nagalapuram Village located in the Tuticorin district of Tamilnadu. His
family included his parents and seven siblings.
Adding salt to misery, did not understand Hindi.
After bit of effort, he got a job of washing utensils at Mahim Bakery. He would earn rupees 150 per month.
In about two years, he saved some money to start his own business of
selling Idlis. He hired a handcart for rupees 150 per month rent and
bought some utensils along with a stove for rupees 1000, and started
operating his business outside Vashi railway station.
In few
years, he saved some money and leased a shop by giving rupees 50000 as
deposit. His streetside cart was now a small restaurant.
By 2002, his restaurant had varieties of dosa and earned a lot of fame.
He approached many malls to open an outlet there. But his offer was
turned down as they were reserved for big brand like McDonald’s etc.
But he got an opportunity to open his outlet in the Center One Mall at Vashi. His outlet in the mall was a big success.
In year 2012, they had 45 restaurant across 11 Indians states and 7 at
foreign nations like New Zealand, Dubai(U.A.E) under the name of The
Dosa Plaza.
The man, Prem Ganapathy, who was standing outside
Bandra station without a single penny with him in 1990, had set up a
brand and empire of 30 crores in 2012.
