Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (VA)

Bangalore, Jul 28: Hotelier Puttaraju who though outwardly is known for his flamboyant nature has proved that he has not forgotten his poor background. His concern towards the needy is well -reflected in his novel way of helping them.

With the sole intention of satiating the hunger of poor people Putturaju has decided to launch 50 gm idli and 80 gm dosas for Re 1. The man who was brought up in poverty-stricken family and later earned success in hotel business says this is his way of giving back to the society and to the city which helped him fight poverty.

The scheme mainly introduced to celebrate the success of his year-old restaurant will be open for six months. From Tuesday July 27, Puttaraju’s 400-seater restaurant- Biryani Bazar in Cubbon Pet here will be supplying 50,000 dosas and idlis at Re one from 7 am to 11 am.

Putturaju’s family had nothing when his father passed way. He had eight siblings. His very first job was that of a butcher in a stall. After working as a milkman, dealing with soaps and getting into the catering business he finally landed in the hotel business and struck gold.

People watching his nine gold teeth, thick gold bracelet, heavy chains and four gold rings may find it hard to imagine that he once worked as a butcher. There is nothing wrong in displaying what is hard earned, believes Putturaju.
