Just think of a 17-year-old girl full of dreams and hope who elopes with the man she loves. Sounds romantic. But it is not!  Patricia’s decision to get off a series of challenges also took her life from there to here. Disowned by her family and trapped in an abusive marriage, she found herself at rock bottom. Her husband’s drug addiction only added to her woes and left her a friend for herself and her children. Instead of giving up, she decided to fight back, and with no job prospects inside, she turned to the one thing she knew best: cooking.

Patricia’s journey to success begins in her kitchen. She started small like any other woman who could do that, whipping squashes and pickles. It wasn’t glamorous at all, but it was a good start. Her homemade goodies are a hit, but there was a catch: she couldn’t produce enough to meet the growing demand without a commercial kitchen. At this crossroads, helping hand from unexpected ways. Her father’s friend told her about the determination kiosk. This small space was now Patricia’s big dream, taking her from her kitchen to the kiosk.

Among the crowd and chaos is Patricia with her modest cart, selling steaming cups of coffee for just 50 Paisa. It is hard to imagine that this humble beginning would lead to a multi-crore restaurant chain business group. She added many other things from watching her daily earnings climb from nearly 50 rupees to 700. Yes! Now, that was a great jump. But Patricia doesn’t want to stop. She hired two disabled workers to help her serve tea snacks and fresh juices. Talking about moving forward from 1982 to 2003. From the little kiosk on Marina Beach, she poured her heart and soul into it. Ensuring the family never went hungry again.
