Veena moved from Chikkamagaluru to Bangalore 18 years ago, while her husband, Harekrishna, built a deep 25-year career in retail management with major chains like More Supermarket and Reliance. Veena also gained hands-on retail experience working at More Supermarket for nine years. With their children away at boarding school, the couple shared a long-held ambition to combine their extensive retail expertise and start a retail business of their own. Seeking reliable low investment business opportunities that would offer long-term financial security, Veena initially joined J24 as store staff, where she gained first-hand insight into the Giant store ownership model.
Recognizing the potential of the J24 framework, Veena shared the opportunity with Harekrishna, who stepped away from his retail job while continuing his duties as a priest to manage daily store operations alongside her. J24 provided end-to-end location setup, smart inventory technology, and daily stock replenishment support. Having this dependable backend system allowed them to transition smoothly into the kirana store sector, combining Veena’s customer service skills with Harekrishna’s 25 years of retail management background.
Today, Veena and Harekrishna proudly operate J24 – Lakshminarasimha Essentials in Kadugodi, running a flourishing neighborhood store together. For over two and a half years, their store has delivered consistent growth and financial independence for their household. Veena’s story proves that with rich industry experience, family dedication, and the right business partner in your corner, anyone can build a successful business and secure a bright future.
