Kerala State volleyball players and former students of CMS College, Kottayam, Akhil GP, Muhammed Sahad S and Anzil KA started a thriving mushroom buisness. There are several discussions happened, after all the games and practices. They often took the entrepreneurial route and different business endeavours they could venture into after graduation. One of the ideas that emerged was to start a mushroom farm, as suggested by Akhil.
Five months ago, they started Home Mushrooms at Erumapetty in Thrissur, which currently yields 150 kilograms of mushrooms a month. Spread across 1.5 acres, the farm, which stands on 8000 square feet, also has a seed production unit.
