Squaremeal Foods Pvt Ltd

Squaremeal Foods was founded by Shishir Gorle and Raja Sekhar Reddy, two first-generation entrepreneurs in 2014, with a vision to provide employment to 500 hearing and speech-impaired individuals and provide them with a sustainable and respectable livelihood. They launched Mirchi & Mime, a trendy dining restaurant serving Modern-Indian cuisine, first of its kind in India, served exclusively by speech & hearing-impaired service staff. The restaurant offers seasonal and selects classical dishes from regions across India with contemporary expression presented by a highly experienced kitchen team. Good food served quietly. Staff with speech and hearing impairment; who joined the company are provided opportunities as servers, bartenders, cashiers. An eight-week classroom training program in association with Dr Reddy’s Foundation and supported by NASEOH and Rochiram T Thadani High School for the Hearing Handicapped targets their self-development and skill development and this was followed by on-the-job training of 4 weeks. Several of staff from the last three years have been promoted to supervisory levels and likely to be promoted managerial levels as well. The entire core team including chefs and managers were taught basic sign language by a certified tutor. Madeira & Mime, the next venture, which was opened in 2016, is a friendly neighbourhood Bar & Café, with your favourite drinks and continental finger food served exclusively by speech & hearing-impaired service staff. Here you can spend time reading, playing, drinking and meeting friends or just a casual meal with family. An ideal place to unwind with your office colleagues or just friends enjoying curated music by an in – house DJ every evening.
