Founder of India’s oldest fast food chain company, Deepak Nirula of Nirula’s, also known as the Ice Cream man of India, passed away at 75, on October 4. This man is the reason we like these fast food chain companies so much. Way before KFC, Burger King or any other fast food company approached us, he opened Delhi’s first fast food restaurant in 1977. Thus, he was responsible for making each of our childhood awesome.
