- Jayaram Wanted to Serve Woodland’s Quality Dosas at “Halwai” Prices
- Yet, Despite All The Success, Jayaram Is as Humble as He Has Always been.
Born in Udupi near Mangalore (Karnataka) to a strict father who didn’t think twice before administering “beatings” on his children, life was tough for young Jayaram. His father was a driver and often punished his children by putting chilli powder in their eyes!
Once Jayaram failed a school exam in his early teens. He knew his father would beat him up, so he stole money from his wallet and hopped on a bus to Mumbai. Mumbai was a common “flock-to” point for people from Udupi to make their fortunes as the ‘masala dosa’ delicacy was introduced in Mumbai by the Udupi community.
Jayaram found work as a utility boy in a small canteen run by members of the community. He used to wash dishes and wait tables for just ₹18 a month. From there, he slowly rose up the ranks in the catering business.
The journey was as arduous as it was ambitious. Woodland’s was a South Indian chain and employed local cooks and recipes. Jayaram was just making his foray into the catering business in Delhi.
He still greets all of his customers with a bow and visits as many of his restaurants as he can. His Sundays are usually busy with visiting all 29 outlets in the Delhi area. He does occasionally sip whiskey, but he doesn’t do that in any of his restaurants. For Jayaram, restaurants are a place where he is meant to serve, not enjoy.
