When Deepika Prabhu and her husband Prabhu Rathinam were living in Oman, they made a lot of friends. Their social circle expanded further as Deepika began catering desserts for various celebrations.
“Prabhu had always wanted to venture into the business of dessserts, and when we were back in Chennai for good in 2019, we began to plan it and our dream began to take shape in spite of the pandemic. As we wanted to stand out from the rest, we focused on Italian gelato, but with a local twist,” says Deepika.
So the couple launched Afters, a gelato bar, in Thiruvanmiyur.
