Mangaluru, Feb 5: In a proud moment recognising the grit and enterprising spirit of human endeavour, Executive chairman of Mahindra Group Anand Mahindra has gifted a Bolero Maxi Truck Plus to Shilpa, an inspiring food entrepreneur based in Mangaluru. Shilpa is the owner and chef of the popular 'Halli Mane Rottis' a mobile fast food outlet located at Mannugudda here.
The key of the Bolero Maxi Truck Plus was handed over to Shilpa by CEO of Karnataka Agencies R C Rodrigues in a ceremony held at Karnataka Agencies, Kottara here on Monday February 5. The new Bolero Maxi Truck Plus costs Rs 6 lac.
Shilpa, originally from Hassan, is the owner, chef and manager of 'Halli Mane Rotties'. Her inspiring story of success caught the attention of executive chairman Mahindra Group Anand Mahindra. Daijiworld too had highlighted her journey of grit in the face of difficulties.
Impressed by the success story of Shilpa, Anand Mahindra decided to support Shilpa with a Bolero Maxi Truck Plus. The sole breadwinner of the family, Shilpa single handedly set up her mobile food joint which largely operated out of a Bolero pick up truck. Mahindra's decision to gift Shilpa a Bolero was prompted by her desire to expand her services, and set up another joint in the city.
CEO of Karnataka Agencies R C Rodrigues said, "I congratulate Shilpa on her achievement. Indeed, she is an inspiration to all. The media highlighted Shilpa's story which prompted Mahindra Group to gift her a new Bolero Maxi truck. I wish her all the best for her future endeavours."
Thanking the Mahindra Group, Shilpa said, "I am grateful to the media for highlighting the story about my mobile canteen Halli Mane Rotties. I am planning to start a second outlet at Kankanady and looking for a space. Discussion is on about hiring staff for the next outlet."
Partner of Karnataka Agencies Santhosh Rodrigues, Shilpa's parents Nagaratna and Chandrashekar, Shilpa's brother Chiranjeevi, Shilpa's son Adhitya Raj and others were present.
