Miju.c.Moidu (Mujeeb ur Rahman) is one of the reputed and a well-progressed businessman. He’s the only person in India who had executed a private tourist train. He has been through huge hardships to reach where he is right now. He was a budding entrepreneur while pursuing his 8th-grade. His father was a vegetable merchant back in 1972. He used to export and provide vegetables wholesale to hotels. Later, Mr. Mujeeb’s sister started to continue his dad’s supply chain. Mr. Mujeeb entered into core business 8 years ago. He expanded his ideas into a brand and started TN 43 — chain of restaurants, four years ago.

At the beginning of his journey, he was alone. He solely managed the business. His wife was the biggest support and his dad was his role model. Though he’s more, Mr. Mujeeb gave him the gift of his success. His father always had confidence and trust in him no matter what. Mr. Mujeeb has faced many failures. When he opened his first hotel in Kotagiri, it was sealed due to commercial license issues which he wasn’t aware of back then. He invested around 50L for the business. He faced huge humiliation and had to bear the pressure from his family. These failures gave him more fuel to give his maximum best. Later, he started 10 hotels in a row with 500+ salaried staffs which progressed quickly and happened to prove his true potential.

He did his schooling in Ooty MRC and excelled in extracurricular activities such as sports, singing, and art. He set a record in sports by winning a Gold medal for his school. He had to sacrifice his passion to pursue business. As compensation for his loss, he’s building a sports arena with all facilities such as including a swimming pool for the sports enthusiasts.

Throughout his life, he never considered anyone as his competitors. He made sure that his ideas were unique and nobody does that. He also makes sure that his product & services are at their best and affordable. He has learned to handle and analyze thread beforehand and prepare accordingly. When we asked about this success factor, he just said “It’s not my success; its success of my team and without them I couldn’t make it”. He never bothered about what people assumed about him and handled any hurdles with a cool head. He is his decision-maker and he decides what goes and comes around.
