Mukesh Madhwani is a businessman based in Udaipur. He inherited his business acumen from his father. Currently, he runs many enterprises such as Ashoka Bakery, Ashoka Caterers, Ashoka Palace, and M Square Productions and Publications in Udaipur.

Mukesh Madhwani was born and brought up in Udaipur. He completed his schooling in Udaipur and then did a diploma course from FCI, Udaipur.

Mukesh says that hailing from a Sindhi business-class family doing business was in his blood. His grandfather owned a soda shop. His father also has a business in food catering and services.

Mukesh’s family started catering to film units that came to Udaipur for film shooting from 1980 when they got a chance to provide food services to the whole crew of the James Bond movie, Octopussy. Later they worked for many other movies which were shot in Udaipur and across India. Mukesh says that he would also accompany his father to the movie sets and dream of becoming an actor.

Sensing that film shootings can be very good for Udaipur’s economy, Mukesh has been fighting for a film city to be established in Udaipur for the last several years.

On the advice of a movie director whom Mukesh had helped once, Mukesh started his own production house by the name of M Square Productions and Publications.

Mukesh says that his father is a go-getter. He has inherited creativity from his father. He takes inspiration from him. His father would always advise him that there is nothing to lose but a lot to earn in this business.

Mukesh acknowledges the support that he has received from his family in his journey so far. He says that his wife has always been supportive.

To anybody who wants to make a career in the movie industry, Mukesh advises that one should always dream big in life and should work hard to achieve that dream. Every morning after waking up one should take at least one step towards his dream. There is no educational qualification required to work in this industry. One should have a talent and nothing can stop him.

Reflecting on his childhood, Mukesh says that he was raised in a joint family. He would play with his siblings. He shares that as a kid he was fond of cars. Once he tried to drive his father’s car without learning how to drive and it collided with something.

If he could go back in time and undo something, Mukesh would want to be a politician or take some other leadership positions and help the people. He thinks that from his childhood he has shown leadership skills and he always likes to be at the forefront.

Mukesh is of the opinion that education is very important in life as it lays the foundation for life. And experience comes by working only.

Mukesh also advises that people should look after their health well. Health is the greatest wealth and without it, wealth has no meaning. He says that during these pandemic times people have realized the importance of having good health. Besides, one should also take some time out for one’s friends and family as work is a never-ending process and spending time with our loved ones is very important.
