Born from a frustration every host knows.
Sheela Rodrigues had a vision for a special celebration at home. She knew exactly what she wanted — a professional chef, a beautiful menu, a night to remember. What she couldn't find was a reliable, trusted way to make it happen. The options were fragmented, pricing was opaque, and there was no single platform she could trust to bring it all together.
That frustration became a purpose. Sheela spent years researching what customers truly needed, studying the gaps in the market, and quietly building the foundation for something better. She waited for the right moment — and the right partner — to build it properly.
In 2025, Sharon Kuriakose joined as CEO and Co-Founder, bringing the technology leadership and platform expertise to turn that vision into reality. Together, they launched Platesfull — not as a rough prototype, but as a fully built marketplace ready to serve hosts across the United States from day one.
Since launch, Platesfull has grown at a pace that outpaces comparable marketplaces in their first year — proof that the need was real, and that people were ready for a better way to celebrate.
Platesfull. Your celebration, handled.
