THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, INDIA: The big names have finally arrived to delight the taste buds of the techies at the Thiruvananthapuram Technopark. Courtesy Vital Links & Services Pvt. Ltd, food major Planet Yumm International has set up its first state-of-the-art food court on the IT park campus in the Kerala capital.

Planet Yumm International’s new food court has begun operations on a centrally air-conditioned space spreading across 20,000 sq ft on the seventh floor of Thejaswini building in the Technopark campus.

The latest addition in Technopark is a new concept aimed at incorporating a mix of various food outlets and to ensure variety in food served.

Currently about 10 counters are open for lunch and dinner on weekdays and serves everything from quick bites, local delicacies, authentic north Indian, south Indian, Chinese and continental food, kebabs and ice creams.

Well-known brands like Dominos, Papa Poncho of Prahlad Kakar, Chicking, Kebab House, Quickies Coffee, Mother’s Kitchen, Wangs Express, Zero Degree, and Passion Fruit have set up their outlets under Planet Yumm International umbrella to cater to the variety of palates.

Inaugurating the Planet Yumm International food court, Radhakrishnan Nair, CEO, Technopark, said that the non-existence of variety in food had led to the authorities at the IT park to bring in Planet Yumm.

"We had decided to address the issue by bringing in the leader in food courts in Chennai and Bangalore to run the food court at our new building Thejaswini. Technopark has spent over Rs. 5 crore for setting up the Thejaswini complex. Our endeavor now is to create the best of cosmopolitan environment in Technopark to attract IT companies and IT professionals," Nair said.

According to Navin Shyam, CEO, Vital Links and Services Pvt Ltd, who has brought in the Planet Yumm International brand to Kerala, "the latest offering is a unique concept that would act as a perfect solution for the growing demands for good eating joints. Presence of reputed brands will not only bring availability of wide variety but also ensure the quality of food being served."

"We are aiming at making Planet Yumm International a one-stop-shop for all food requirements," he added.
