"Kari Dosa Cart Owner Overcomes Life-Altering Accident to Serve a Taste of Resilience in Bengaluru"


Veena Ambarish, a determined entrepreneur in Bengaluru, has turned her life's challenging chapters into an inspiring success story with the launch of her 'Kari Dosa' food cart. After a bus accident cost her right foot and led to a battle with depression, Veena's unwavering spirit guided her through an MBA, various career changes, and eventually to the bustling streets of Bengaluru.


In 2013, while awaiting a physical disability certificate, Veena found newfound strength inspired by others facing adversity with smiles on their faces. Her journey, starting as a Class 12 science student and Bharatanatyam dancer, took a turn after a BMTC bus accident in 2012 left her bedridden for six months. Despite multiple surgeries and struggles with mobility, Veena chose resilience over despair.


Transitioning from science to commerce and successfully completing her BBA and MBA degrees, Veena worked in banking and IT, facing challenges that eventually led her to a breaking point. Her decision to quit a demanding IT job in February 2023 marked a pivotal moment in her life.


Determined to be her own boss and motivated by a passion for food, Veena launched 'Kari Dosa' in April 2023. Specializing in the Tamil Nadu delicacy of dosa topped with omelette and mutton curry, her food cart has become a morning hotspot in Bengaluru, drawing crowds eager to savor the diverse dosa offerings.


Veena's journey, from a comfortable desk job to the competitive world of street food, reflects her commitment to pushing boundaries. Despite initial reservations from her family, she persevered, supported by her husband, a fitness trainer, who is her biggest cheerleader.


Operating her cart from 7:30 am to 11:30 am daily, Veena starts her day at 4:30 am, showcasing her dedication to her newfound passion. Her inspiring mantra, "No matter how hard life hits you, be stronger than before," reflects the resilience that defines her journey. Veena's story serves as a testament to the power of overcoming hurdles and finding happiness in the face of challenges.
