Mr. Joseph Rodrigues
Founder & Managing Director
The Base
Mr. Joseph Rodrigues hails from a family in Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district. A visit to Kumaon as a tourist changed his life. Mr. Joseph has been interested in cooking from a young age. He noticed that South Indian eateries were either absent or minimal in Kumaon. In 1999, Mr. Joseph and his family moved to Haldwani, hoping to start a vegetarian South Indian restaurant. They had a modest capital of 100,000 rupees. That shift to the foothills of the Himalayas was the spark for the Udupiwala story.
