Mangaluru, Sep 22: A youngster hailing from Kunjathbail who has done his Masters in Construction Management in the United Kingdom (UK) started a fish business at Bikarnakatte.

Varun Shenava hailing from Kunjathbail has completed his Masters in Construction Management from Coventry University in the United Kingdom. Varun, after returning to India, has ventured into fish business at Bikarnakatte named the firm 'Kadal Fish Mart'. The shop started functioning on August 31.

Speaking to Daijiworld, Varun said, "I have completed my education in construction management from Coventry University. During my third semester, there was a project that had to be completed. At the same time, my father's health condition turned critical. I had a desire to come back to India and work here. I completed my education at Coventry University and after the result, I came back to India."

"I was looking for a job. On March 23, Prestige Constructions called me for an interview. However, the government imposed a lockdown during that time. For around four to five months, I was hunting for a job and due to the lockdown, I could not get one. So I thought of this idea of starting a fish business as a few of my friends were in the same business. I spoke to some of the fish suppliers. My father objected to my decision as I have graduated from a university in the United Kingdom. But my well-wishers and friends supported me to start this business," he said.

"In this business, I thought of introducing a new idea that is free home delivery and also cleaning and cutting. This will save the time and efforts of my customers. We need support from the people of Mangaluru in this venture and it is what we need the most," Varun added.

"My plan in future is to expand this business further along with starting import and export with the help of my contacts in the United Kingdom. For home delivery one can contact 9036661232 and 7022999617," said Varun.
