While many professionals dream of escaping the corporate grind, very few actually walk away from a stable, high-paying job to start farming full-time.
But that is exactly what Chethan Shetty did.
After spending nearly eight years working in industrial sales in Bengaluru, Chethan decided in 2017 to leave city life behind and return to his hometown in Karnataka to take over his family’s 11-acre ancestral farm.
The decision surprised many people around him. Friends and relatives reportedly questioned why he would leave a secure corporate career for agriculture, a field often seen as risky and unpredictable.
