Prabhu always wanted to do something different, after a long thought process, he quit his job & returned to his hometown kodangipatti in 2013 after his father’s death to pursue what he loved. With help of his friend Venkatesh Babu an agriculture graduate, he decided to endeavor in Animal Husbandry sector”. Then Venkatesh had helped him in setting up a dairy farm in the village.
