Abstract: This paper chronicles the milestones and processes in the evolution of women’s large-scale participation in the food service sector in Kerala, promoted under the aegis of the State Poverty Eradication Mission of the Government of Kerala, popularly known as Kudumbashree Mission.

It concludes by looking at the factors that are likely to influence the long-term success or otherwise of these businesses.
