Sri Radhakrishnan Mobile Canteens, owned by B Girish, have launched three food trucks to serve nutritious meals to the needy at affordable prices.

Story so far: The service was launched on Monday when Basavanagudi MLA Ravi Subramaniya inaugurated one of the canteens in his constituency, setting the tone for 2023. Over multiple discussions about giving back to society, two friends resolved to cook healthy and delicious meals for daily wage earners and the socio-economically underprivileged.

  • People can get breakfast for as little as ₹5 and procure a ragi ball meal for lunch at ₹25. Customers are happy with the service, stating that the food was “good quality”.
  • Currently operating at Jinke Park in Basavanagudi, Anjanapura in Yeshwanthpur, and Sirsi Circle in Chamarajpet, the owner envisions expanding to 15 such trucks.

Behind the scenes: Girish’s kitchen is set up at his friend’s residence, and he uses the food trucks, each costing ₹10.4 lakhs, to supply the cooked meals. His canteens have regularly supplied food to three orphanages and an old age home in Bengaluru.
