I believe each one of us must have visited Udupi Spice at least for once and must have enjoyed the tasty South Indian cuisine over there. We all know about the restaurant as it has been serving joy to people for a very long time. But do we know what it takes to set up an restaurant and manage it and keep people happy and delighted. It needs that dedication to feed people and that can do attitude to run an extra mile to keep people happy and engaged.
So, lets hear it from Mr. Sharad Pujari man behind the success and taste of Udupi Spice, Mangalam and Jammu Express
My childhood
My childhood was nice as I was the only son, so I was a bit pampered child and a mom´s boy. I was pride for my father but that joy was short lived as I lost my father when I was 10 years old and then the hardship followed because of our family disputes.
My motivation
My mother was the one who always motivated me but it is always you who is supposed to do things and achieve what you want, So although my mother was a great motivation to me but it was me who took the efforts to do the thing to become what I am today and that´s the reason that I am a self made man, it was the motivation within that helped me achieve things that I wanted in my life.
My guide, my mentor
My guide, my mentor, my motivation everything was my mother. She was the one who helped me in everything that I ever did, She never restricted me from doing things and always gave freedom to do what I felt was right, but as I mentioned before it is you who needs to take the efforts and get things done.
My life´s first achievement
My life´s first achievement is when I got a job as a car´s sales person, that is my life´s first achievement. That is when I came to know what is my importance in public, that was the biggest achievement as people accepted me for my skills and qualities. That´s the reason I take it as my life´s first achievement.
My Professional Journey
Start was quite tough, taking up a job was never an easy task. I took up a job as a car
sales person at Hyundai in 2001 then after I continued working for next 8 years with Ford and Mercedes Benz. Then after I wanted to start something of my own and I always loved the way my mother cooked food and even I always wanted to feed people. So I started a Hotel named as Udupi Spice at Mahatma Nagar that was my first and then after I never looked back and continued growing my Hotel empire and to do all this I was supported by my mother and my wife, so they played a very vital role in my progress and success.
My Future aims
I have a dream and the dream is to set up a hotel within the radius of 3km across India. So, I dream to have a hotel every 3km on PAN India level. This is my future aim.
Cherishable moment of my life
The most cherishable moment in my life is the day when my son was born. Its a big day for me and always will be.
Things that I would like to change from my Past
If I could change my past I would like to bring my father back to life whom I lost at the age of 10.
What I want to do for the country
Actually I am doing it on a regular basis, as I like to feed people, so on my mother´s birthday I visit people and children those who are less privileged and I feed them and I also serve them food with my own hands. So I think that I am doing what I can for the people and the Nation.
My message to the youth and the citizens
My message to the youth and to the citizens would be work hard and work smart and always be loyal and honest to yourself and remember one thing in life ¨ TO DO SOMETHING IS TO START. THAT´S IT.¨ So unless and until you do something you cannot start, so to start you need to do things.
