Rajesh Rathi
Founder – FoodThali
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the food industry, Rajesh Rameshchandra Rathi is no stranger to taste, tradition, and the pulse of the Indian food market.
Coming from a humble background, Rajesh started his journey alongside his father, Shri Rameshchandra Pukhrajji Rathi, with a small but honest food outlet — Om Locha House. What began as a modest local eatery serving bhojanalaya-style meals, thalis, breakfast, and snacks quickly became a trusted name in the area. With quality, consistency, and the love of customers, Om Locha House grew beyond expectations.
Having experienced the ins and outs of the food business — from operations and customer service to managing kitchens and suppliers — Rajesh has built an instinctive understanding of how to run a successful food venture in India. FoodThali is an evolution of that same passion.
Rajesh’s aim is not just to grow a business — but to build a food ecosystem that benefits customers, franchise partners, and the community alike.

Our Story
FoodThali was founded by a passionate entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the food industry. Coming from a simple background, we started this journey with our forefathers when they established Surti Snacks and Thalis — a well-loved food destination serving thalis, breakfast, and snacks.
Through hard work, dedication, and deep industry knowledge, Rajesh transformed his vision into reality. Today, with FoodThali, he carries forward the same values — offering fresh, hygienic, and affordable meals while creating a business model that empowers franchise partners across India.
