An entrepreneur with a passion for nourishing bodies and souls through food and beverages. My journey began in the picturesque region of Pallakad, Kerala, where the abundance of nature's gifts inspired me to create something special.

In Kerala, I embarked on the Uji Foods adventure, crafting pure and refreshing coconut water straight from the heart of coconuts grown in our lush surroundings. We believed in the power of nature's hydration, and our commitment to quality led us to become a trusted source of coconut water.

Not content with stopping there, I sought new horizons to expand our culinary pursuits. In Vietnam, we ventured into the world of juices, harnessing the vibrant flavors of local fruits to create delightful and healthy concoctions.

I'm also a proud partner of two Indian restaurants where we serve up the authentic tastes of India, bringing a piece of its culinary heritage to our guests.

My journey as an entrepreneur has been fueled by a deep appreciation for quality, authenticity, and the joy of sharing remarkable food and beverages. I'm excited to connect with like-minded professionals and food enthusiasts on LinkedIn, so we can continue to inspire and learn from each other. Let's toast to the flavors of life and business!
