Mowgli Street Food
Mowgli Street Food, a vibrant chain of Indian restaurants founded in 2014 by Nisha Katona, goes beyond serving delicious meals. Mowgli Street Food's ethos, inspired by Nisha's family recipes, is to create an authentic Indian home kitchen experience that varies greatly from traditional British curry houses.
With 24 establishments across the UK and more openings slated for 2025, Mowgli Street Food has a clear mission: to enrich the lives of the cities it serves, starting with its employees. This mission is accomplished through various initiatives, such as its Medicash medical health plan, mental health awareness training, and wellbeing workshops.
These initiatives are supported by the Employee Assistance Programme in partnership with Hospitality Action, ensuring access to counselling services for all team members. The company's commitment to employee wellbeing is further evidenced by the Fun Pot initiative, where teams are given funds for quarterly social events, and the annual Mowgli Fest, a large-scale celebration of employee success.
At the heart of Mowgli's operations, CEO Nisha Katona's clear vision and commitment to the company's values of intelligence, grace, and graft are evident, fostering a culture where every employee feels fulfilled and appreciated. This culture is maintained through leadership at every level, facilitated by a highly approachable senior management team.
The company's focus on employee development is evident in the Mowgli Career Tree, a clear guide for progression within the organisation. Through this framework, employees are offered a range of development opportunities, from external courses and apprenticeships to Insights self-awareness and growth sessions.
