In 2018, Anusha Pinto and Vijay Giri started Fullyfilled, a small restaurant serving shawarmas and momos in Bengaluru’s posh Indiranagar area. They invested their personal funds. Fullyfilled was doing well and it was close to breaking even. Then, on March 18, Pinto and Giri decided to temporarily shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On video call from their home in Bengaluru, the couple explained that it made sense to close. “It’s about economies of scale. It’s difficult to make shawarmas in small batches. Buying chicken in small amounts is expensive,&rdquo. . .
