Former Oracle Executive Builds Rs 9 Crore Falooda Business with 20 Outlets
Pradeep Kannan left his stable operations leadership role at Oracle India in 2019 to start The Falooda Shop, a dessert-focused quick-service brand. Beginning as a small 10x10-foot kiosk in Karur, Tamil Nadu, the business has expanded to over 20 outlets across India and Dubai, generating around Rs 9 crore annually. Prior entrepreneurial attempts, including a kulfi venture, provided Kannan with valuable experience that contributed to his current success.
