Until the 1970’s, there were practically no restaurants in Chennai. Rajagopal in 1968 opened a tiny grocery shop on the outskirts of the city. Rajagopalan’s vision and a keen desire to take his concept worldwide was a gradual process.

By the 1990s, the Saravana Bhavan chain spread throughout neighborhoods in Chennai. In 2000, Saravana Bhavan opened its first branch outside India, opening a restaurant in Dubai, with a large number Indian expatriates. It eventually expanded to Paris, Frankfurt, London, New York, Toronto and Doha.
