How to Start a Successful Food Business in India

							- Inspired to start a food business? - The Olive Grows




Backpackers turn street food experiences into a thriving
food business with the help of The Olive Grows

 Inspiration and a passion for authentic food turned into a
successful business

 




PRESS RELEASE Sept 2010




Two backpackers bring street food from around the world to UK foodservice: regionally
authentic to the very streets they were first discovered in ...




Just 'an Indian' doesn't come close ... The Street Food Company's Murgh Makhani is authentic
to Lawrence Road in Amritsar, North India; their Ikan Bakar is from the seaside eateries of
Teluk Tempoyak fishing village in Penang Island, West Malaysia and their Nua Pad Khing
comes from the bustling food stalls of Jatujak Market in Bangkok, Central Thailand.




Adventurous spirit turns into a new business




The Street Food Company was borne out of the backpacking adventures of graduates James
Harris and Kevin Lee. Their travels took them from the sleepy fishing villages of West Malaysia
to the glittering bustle of Bangkok; and, on a pitiful budget, it was to the street food vendors that
they turned for sustenance, experiencing a wealth of wonderfully authentic flavours in doing so.
