Mushroom farm crores turnover – not a high degree or big background… Delivery Boy’s work is now a musroom company, turnover crores of rupees
Today, a normal boy who has a high degree or a large background, today, has a quota company. Anand Roy’s story is not less than Bollywood, where hard work, dedication and dreams have transformed into an entrepreneur to provide vegetables in international markets. 47 -Year -Alld Anand Roy has changed his luck and has employed more than 100 people in his village.
His mushroom construction company has over 5-6 crores today, and his vegetables are decorated in Singapore, Ukraine and Spain plates.
Travel from village to city
Anand Roy’s life began in the Suratpur village of Jaunpur, where he studied up to the 10th standard. His father is a normal farmer, no money to buy tarpaulin to save the crop. Anand says, “The crop is wet in the rain, and we are helpless.”
The village made tight and limited resources Anand break. He decided that they would work big. For this, he left the house and visited the city for a job.
Initially Anand worked as a delivery boy. At that time his earnings were only Rs 200-250 per month. Anand recalled, “On the streets of Mumbai, sometimes there are difficulties when delivering night. Once my items were stolen in the Red Light Area, but I saved the customer’s lab report.” These little events teach Anand a lesson of hard work and honesty.
The first fruit of hard work
Anand considered the delivery boy’s work, not just a job, but the opportunity to learn. Realizing the nuances of the supply chain, he slowly found good opportunities. Most companies, experiences, and eventually their salary got a job of Rs 50,000 per month. But Anand’s dream is not limited to job. They want to do anything big.
In 2016, Anand took the bold action. He bought a 51% stake in a logistics company called ‘Gozwas’, at which time the turnover was Rs 650 crore. This is not a small step. The turnover of Anand’s own company ‘Pizan Express’ is less than 20 crores. However, his hard work and focus encouraged him to take this risk. The action made him a Singapore -based NRI, but his heart was always connected to his soil.
Mushroom cultivation from the soil of the village
In 2024, Anand started a mushroom production plant in his village Mehoda. This decision was proved to be his life turn. Anand did intensive research on mushroom cultivation and adopted modern techniques. Today, his plant produces 1 tonnes of mushrooms per day, whose turnover is Rs 5-6 crore annually.
Anand did not limit himself to production. He hired 100 people from and near the village and also trained them in mushroom farming. He says, “The people of my village wanted to be self -lustful. So I joined the local people with me.” Anand’s initiative not only created employment but also strengthening the village economy.
Jownpur vegetables in foreign tiles
Anand’s biggest success is that his grown mushrooms and vegetables are now exported to countries like Singapore, Ukraine and Spain. He proudly says, “When I think that vegetables grown in my village soil are decorated in foreign tiles, the heart is full of joy.” This practice is not only for happiness, but also proud to the farmers of Janpur and India.
Anand is not stopping here. They are in the process of creating high quality organic manure (fertilizer) from the remains of the mushroom farming. The results of his fertilizer lab test were amazing. Anand says, “This fertilizer proves to be a boon for farmers because it is inexpensive and beneficial to the environment.”
100 crores dream
Anand’s vision is big. They want to increase their mushroom production to 600-700 people in the next 2-3 years. Also, the goal is to bring his company’s turnover to Rs 100 crore. He says, “Money for your village and country to do anything for the country doesn’t matter to me.”
The story of Anand Roy is the inspiration for every farmer and youth, they dream of big in limited resources. His journey from the delivery boy to the millionaire is the result of hard work, dedication and the right direction.
