I am a 19-year-old who suffers from diabetes, and am proving that Indian food can be healthy.
Svadish is run from a corporate building as a local restaurant and catering company. We have contracts with tourist companies such as Thomas Cook.
I took a risk when I started with just £9,500 in my business account, however now it has doubled. The previous restaurant had never been successful and no owner has been able to run it for long, however the feedback I’ve received is that there’s now a great atmosphere for locals and office workers.
Due to location it is a tricky place to run a business as it is isolated in the back of a building, however if you have your marketing techniques right and have your heart in it, you can achieve anything and prove anyone wrong.
Every business has its ups and downs but that should never be the reason why you give up.
Sonya Kumar is the director of Svadish
