On December 4, 1986 Banan ventured into Delhi, the Capital City of India with his concept of a Vegetarian South Indian Restaurant called “SAGAR” in a deserted, sleepy and unknown market of Defence Colony with a seating capacity of just 40.

With sheer hard-work, dedication, personal attention and motivation he has made the very name “SAGAR” synonymous with South Indian delicacies and today SAGAR is a very popular name all over the National Capital Territory as the most affordable chain of vegetarian restaurants for South Indian snacks not only for the masses but also for the classes.

The hardwork, commitment to ensure excellent quality at all costs always backed by quick and efficient service have enabled the growth of this brand to its present strength of 54 branches and 31 franchisee outlets.
