Rakesh, a BBM graduate originally from Ballari, built a deep 15-year background running a local provision shop in his hometown before moving to Bangalore. After settling in the city with his wife, Sowmya, and their young child, Rakesh opened a fruits and vegetables business near Rajajinagar, supplying fresh produce to local hotels for seven months. With over 15 years of hands-on grocer experience, Rakesh shared a strong ambition with Sowmya to step up from a small setup and start a retail business as a full-fledged supermarket owner.
While searching for reliable low investment business opportunities, Rakesh and Sowmya discovered J24 and reached out to the team. Seeing a modern grocery store model that offered smart inventory systems, complete store layout setup, and reliable daily stock replenishment gave Rakesh complete confidence. Partnering with J24 allowed him to upgrade his traditional kirana skills into the modern grocery store sector, providing the professional support he needed to run a large-format neighborhood shop.
Today, Rakesh proudly operates J24 – Gajanana Essentials in Narayanapura, fulfilling his long-held dream of running a modern grocery store. Supported by Sowmya, Rakesh delivers fresh daily essentials and top-quality service to his local neighborhood every day. Rakesh’s story proves that with rich retail experience, family dedication, and the right partner in your corner, anyone can build a successful business and achieve lasting growth.
