Bengaluru Entrepreneur Builds Rs 9 Crore Falooda Business After Leaving Deloitte

Pradeep Kannan, a Bengaluru-based professional who left a senior corporate role at Deloitte in 2019, founded 'The Falooda Shop' in Karur, Tamil Nadu. Starting with a modest outlet, he invested around Rs 22 lakh initially. The business has since expanded to over 18 outlets across India and Dubai, valued at approximately Rs 9 crore. Despite early scepticism, Kannan focused on product consistency and brand growth, also developing a direct-to-consumer segment alongside physical stores.
