I started my first business, Masala Bazaar, in Newport without spending a penny of my own money. We now have seven stores throughout Wales, and my family and I have part interests in a number of businesses in the UK and abroad ranging from property developments to restaurants. 

Make sure you do your research, go with the right team, have the right starting capital

My family has been my greatest inspiration. They already had a number of businesses so it was a natural course for me.  In the next five years I’d like to grow the company to have another ten stores.
