Idli Amma, also known as Kamalathal, lives in Vadivelampalayam, a village near Peru in Tamil Nadu. She has been selling idlis with sambhar and chutney for around 37 years for only Re 1.
Her story went viral back in 2019 and Mahindra extended his support and wrote that he would be happy to ‘invest’ in her business.
Kamalathal has a tough schedule as she begins preparing idlis from sunrise and primarily caters to daily wage labourers, reports The India Today.
