He spent Rs 6 lakh to buy a customised auto rickshaw to serve as his kitchen where four persons work.I invested the money saved it while working and my brother K Tirupathi, an IT employee in Hyderabad who helped him financially to begin this enterprise one and half month ago. The response from public is excellent as good food is always appreciated’ Gopi added.
