From managing crop plantations like rubber, paddy, and cash crops, to perfecting the art of bud grafting for rubber, mango, and rose plants, he developed a deep-rooted passion for nurturing life. He is passionate about sustainable food production, and his enthusiasm for growing microgreens and cultivating mushrooms were hobbies that flourished during the lockdown era.
