Sappy is one of the leading fast food corner located in a small town Nadiad. Born in an Agrawal family, Mr. Jitendra Agrawal established this first fast food corner in Nadiad in 1995 with his keen interest in cooking the food.

Mr. Agrawal said that “I joined Dairy Den not to earn money but to learn something which will be helpful to me in commencing my own business”.
