After 15 years of friendship, three Gujaratis from Mumbai turned into successful foodpreneurs by plunging into the street food business. With meticulous planning, coupled with good ingredients of hard work and acumen they built a mission to care for customers, employees, and the environment in all sorts of terms. Today, they are reaping good dividends by opening their – FOOD ADDA – 7th Outlet in Gujarat and the 4th one in Vastrapur area of Ahmedabad.
While welcoming renowned Gujarati actress Ridham Bhatt who is avid food lover of Food Adda, Hardik Savla, CEO and Founder of Parvaha Hospitality said, “It’s an amazing story that we have experienced throughout these years as we began from Rs. 50,000 as a Street Stall and today in 4 years we have become a Rs 7 Crore organization with 7 outlets in Gujarat and soon we will be opening more and more outlets in our home state as we are Gujju boys and our heart lies here. Thanks to some lovely connoisseurs like Ridham who have inspired us to deliver nothing but the best to our customers.
