    Digital Desk: Ramya Ravi grew up
    eating her grandmother's donne biryani. The Karnataka-type biryani was not as
    well known as the Lucknow and Hyderabad varieties. She made the decision to
    start a Biryani business. She wished to make the flavour a worldwide sensation.
    The company was founded in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and has been
    relatively successful in a short period of time.

    a Rs 5 lakh investment. The company's revenue in fiscal year 2021-22 was Rs 10
    crore. The company is mostly based in Bengaluru.

    School for her education. She later earned a B Com from Christ College in
    Bengaluru.

    To begin with, they just had 200
    square feet in Nagarabhavi, Bengaluru. They only had one cook. Their company,
    on the other hand, became a runway success. In their first month, they
    delivered 10,000 packages. As demand soared, they continued to build kitchens.
    They want to construct a restaurant in Bengaluru's Jayanagar neighbourhood in
    late 2021.
