Career
Anuradha Krishnamoorthy set up an organisation working with disabled people, supporting them in finding work.[1] In 2016, Krishnamoorthy then founded Käse Cheese in Chennai with chef Namrata Sundaresan.[2] They had known each other for about ten years and her new business partner's day job was in a strategy consultancy. Their first variety was a type of Quark.[3] They make other natural cheeses following traditional methods whilst adding local ingredients, for example using Milagai Podi to make a cheddar cheese called "Ode to Chennai". Krishnamoorthy's background in social entrepreneurship led her to employ and train disabled women. As of 2020, Käse was producing over 30 cheeses.[2]
