Veer Shetty: The truck driver who became a millet millionaire

Biradhar Veer Shetty, a former truck driver, has transformed his life and many others through his thriving millet business that generates over Rs 1.5 crore in revenues annually. Shetty dropped out of school after class 9 in 1990 and later got a job with Hyderabad’s International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics as a driver-cum-general assistant. With the job, Shetty resumed studies and completed graduation. And since then, there has been no looking back for him.
