To the students of St.Xavier’s and XIC, he is the charming young man behind the Frankie stand who serves the tastiest rolls, but Nagesh Nair is more than your average Frankiewala!
Originally from Karnataka, his parents moved to Mumbai while he was still a child. Like all immigration stories, life wasn’t easy for him. The eldest of four children, Nagesh started working in the College canteen at the age of ten. He says he had never imagined that he would one day own his own stall in the place where he served tea.

But he has reached this height after much hard work and with sheer determination. He passed his HSC studying in a Night School because he had to work during the day. He further gained a Diploma in Hotel Management from Kohinoor Institute of Catering, Dadar.
It was almost after five years of travelling and working in five star hotels across India that Nagesh finally opened his own stall in Xavier’s canteen two years ago. When asked about his future plans, the shy 27 years old says that he would one day like to own a franchise with branches all over the city.
Here’s wishing him all the luck!
