Prem Ganapathy grew up in a humble village in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, and left school early to find work. He ended up in Bombay with no money, learning basic bakery skills and surviving day to day. One day, he started selling dosas from a hand‑cart near a busy station. Passersby were skeptical at first, but his passion for flavour and variety kept them coming back. Over time, he opened his first restaurant and eventually expanded Dosa Plaza to over 70 outlets across India and abroad. His journey teaches that tenacity and creativity can turn a simple street food dream into international success.”
