From One Food Truck to a UK Street Food Empire – The Gully UK Story | Founder in the Chair Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible father-son duo Sudhir and Avi Sethi, the founders of @gully.uk, the UK’s leading Indian street food caterer.

What began as one truck, two people, and a love for authentic Indian flavours has grown into a nationwide sensation. From BBC Radio London and Saturday Kitchen Live to serving corporate giants like Amazon, Netflix, and Disney, Gully has become the go-to for vibrant, high-energy catering — and it all started from a single spark of inspiration.

We talk about:
• How a random visit to a food truck changed everything
• The early challenges of having no team
• Building a brand that’s now recognised across the UK
• Their exciting new wellness drink venture: @dosha.drink

Whether you’re a food lover, entrepreneur, or someone chasing a big dream, this story will light a fire in you.
