An accident that cost him a leg and a job (as team leader in a mobile service centre) could not rob him of his resilience. Jai Ganesh, a Pallikaranai resident, bounced back from the setback, establishing a cloud kitchen — Pemi’s Kitchen — in his locality.
He managed more than buy-in from his family. They plunged into the business, labouring shoulder-to-shoulder with him.
Having overcome the initial hiccups of entrepreneurship, Jai is gloating over a kitchen that cooks up parcels of food non-stop between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. every day, with Sunday leaving the staff rushed off their feet.
The kitchen’s signature biryanis and chicken and fish gravies are said to be a big draw. “We offer standard-sized portions as well as XL-sized portions to cater to our customers’ needs and avoid food wastage,” says Jai.
He has also found it in his heart to give back to the community: Offering heavily subsidised meals — starting at ₹65 for vegetarian meals and ₹75 for non-vegetarian meals — to low-wage workers in the area. Pemi’s Kitchen is also open to catering snacks, juices, and meals for corporate events and parties. For details, call 9677050279
