How Chef Suresh Pillai and team helped an employee whose family was stuck in Manipur. Viral post

Celebrated chef Suresh Pillai took to Instagram to share a heartwarming story about how his team helped in relocating the family members of one of the employees from Manipur. The state is under a state of conflict and the employee was quite worried for her family.

Pillai shared a picture of Susmitha with her family members and wrote, “A few weeks back, the General Manager at RCP (Restaurant Chef Pillai) Kochi noticed that Susmitha, one of our service staff looked unnaturally gloomy during service. Unnatural because within 7 months of her joining the team, she had excelled at her job and even won the ‘Best Employee’ award thrice already!”

“Charles called her aside and asked what the issue was - which is when she told us about the conflict at home. Her mother and sister were stuck at Manipur - and she couldn't go there, nor could they come here. Since the household depended solely on her income, the situation was clearly getting to her.”

After learning about Susmitha’s issue, Pillai and his team took swift action and relocated her mother and sister to Kochi and helped them with their accommodation.

“A few days later, Mrs. Ibemcha Devi and Ms. Sarfi Devi joined Susmitha at Kochi- and after settling down, we asked them to come in for an interview. They only knew Manipuri and weren't comfortable with Hindi or English - but they weren’t ready to sit idly at home and wanted to help in some way possible,” Pillai revealed.
