Building things

My first business

My first business was Shahab’s Tuck Shop. I was 10. Shahab is my younger brother, who works with me now.

My father had a retail store. There was a pushcart vendor across the road, and children would cross over to buy Coca-Cola and crisps. I thought it was dangerous. Why couldn’t I ask my dad to bring me the stock and sell it on our side? So that is what I did.
