V for vaccine And V for victory against the dreaded c-virus.

EDIT

Now that we are in the throes of a second wave and more cases are threatening towards another lockdown, it’s time we all step forward and get the jab.

Senior citizens, the most vulnerable section of society, have got themselves vaccinated in encouragingly large numbers, and those who haven’t, ought to do so, and their family members must ensure they do.

Time to go ahead and get the jab!

The next category of 45 years-plus age group is the new category that opened up from this April, making them the second line of warriors to defend themselves against covid.

Fortunately there is realisation of the necessity to go ahead and get the jab, and even the nay-sayers are slowly turning in favour of better being safe than sorry.

While there are no guarantees of anything in life, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and keep hope and optimism alive.

Time then, to get our ostrich heads out of the sand, and proceed to the nearest healthcare centre or hospital, and get the vaccine shot.

Don’t overthink it, just do it.

GETTING AROUND TOWN

B

engaluru is a traveller’s delight. It starts with the air conditioned Volvo buses and the pre-paid taxi counter at the airport. Not to mention, the pre-paid auto counters at the city’s railway stations. But the finest example is the ease with which you can navigate the central business district of MG Road and around with the Big 10 buses. You can hop on and hop off at any point after your shopping expedition. But the finest experience will be the first reach of the Namma Metro train running from Old Madras Road to MG Road.

Happy travels.

Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman King of food industry!

The dynamic serial entrepreneur trailblazes with new concept restaurant chain TN-43

By Smiti Jain Narayan

Meet the serial entrepreneur extraordinaire – Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman, the dynamic second-generation businessman and company Chairman who is an industry unto himself.

From restaurants to trains, from food to hot air balloon – the list of his achievements is long and distinguished in every aspect of the business.

COIMBATORE BANGALORE

2021 APRIL | 25 2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 17

Meet the serial entrepreneur extraordinaire – Miju. C. Moidu, also known as Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman, the dynamic second generation businessman and company Chairman who is an industry unto himself. From restaurants to trains, from food to hot air balloon – the list of his achievements is long and distinguished in every aspect of the business.

In an astonishing feat of visionary entrepreneurship, Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman has set up a chain of 24 restaurants – with the quirky name TN-43 – along the road from Coimbatore to Ooty! While the world was in a pandemic induced haze, he quietly and determinedly set up these food outlets which are more than just highway restaurants.

They are more like pitstops for travellers with facilities for not only freshly cooked wholesome food, but also rest, shopping, relaxing, washrooms, spa, suite rooms and other features to take your breath away with the sheer scale and thoughtfulness of each rest stop.

BANGALORE

TN-43 is a name you cannot forget!

TN stands for Tamil Nadu. And 43 is the Nilgiri’s registration number

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 18

The blessings of my parents and the values they have instilled in me are the reason behind the success of my venture!

Mujeeb’s mother Mumthaz Moidu TN-43 is a smartly thought out name – TN standing for Tamil Nadu, and 43 being the Nilgiri’s registration number. It’s a name to remember and one that you will not forget because of the uniqueness and easy recall factor of its nomenclature.

The buildings of TN-43 are impossible to miss on the highways of Tamil Nadu as you drive up from Coimbatore to Ooty since they stand out from a distance itself with their bright fluorescent orange colour which are easy to identify at once. The TN-43 chain dots the landscape of the Nilgiri’s, including Coonoor, Kothigiri, Ooty, Gudulur and others. There are plans afoot for more outlets to be opened shortly in Chennai, Kerala, Karnataka, and even in Dubai.

BANGALORE

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 19

The whole concept of TN-43 is totally new and different. The new outlets of TN-43 will have even a club attached under the brand name of Club-43 in the compound, with facilities like sports arena, swimming pool, football turf, fitness studio, suite rooms, badminton court, and even a jogging track, as well as other indoor games and sports. There will also be EV charging points for electric bikes and cars; so while their EV (Electrical Vehicle) charges, the guest can easily spend their time in the restaurant or use other facilities to unwind.

This is the type of forward thinking and farsighted understanding of customers’ needs that makes TN-43 a truly unique company, all kudos to Chairman Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman for always looking ahead of the curve.

Each TN-43 outlet is built on a sprawling estate, with ample car parking for 50 cars and above, and space for all other facilities for rooms, suites, restaurant and entertainment features for people to rest and relax before they continue their journey. The best part is that all these 5-star facilities and luxuries are offered at the rates of local hotels, which is unthinkable but true.

The food at TN-43 is as unforgettable and inviting as its unique name and distinctive colour.

The multicuisine kitchens offer fresh and sumptuous fare including all the favourite South Indian and North Indian specialities, Chinese, Italian, Continental and other fusion foods that are finger-licking delicious. All ingredients are sourced and procured from local markets to ensure eco-sustainability as well as freshness, purity and zero miles. An interesting thing BANGALORE

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 20

about TN-43 kitchens is that they are fully run by women! The entire central kitchen staff comprises of family members as well as local ladies, generating employment and providing a respectable means of livelihood to so many women who are trained and passionate about their work and excellent cooks who churn out all the dishes with a special ingredient – the ingredient called love!

In all there are 400-strong staff employed at TN-43. Not just 400 ladies, but 400 families benefit directly from this employment opportunity. Presuming even just 3 family members for each of the staff ladies, 400 multiplied by 3 translates into 1200 people whose lives are transformed through TN-43 providing livelihoods through this venture – a humbling figure indeed.

Through this unique step, Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman has provided dignity to hundreds of homeless women, widows, and other marginalised needy women, thus rehabilitating them, by training them and making them self-sufficient following a vocation to earn their own money. A pure selfless instance of being vocal for local, as well as making a huge contribution towards empowerment and financial freedom of women.

The food at TN-43 is all controlled by three central kitchens – one in Ooty and two in Coimbatore – to ensure highest quality standards and uniformity of taste and dishes across all outlets. From Arabic shawarma grills, to broasted samosas and cutlets (this unique cooking method called broasting is used for the first time in the world for samosas and cutlets here, making them very crisp and delicious!), Kerala payasams, popular Chinese and Italian, and lots more – get all this at more at TN-43. The non-veg food served here is 100% halal. While the vegetarian food is cooked in a totally separated kitchen, with all the utensils and even BANGALORE

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 21

the crockery and cutlery being kept fully separate.

The family run business has Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman’s sister Manju and wife Jafeena taking charge, as also his co-brother Abdul who takes care of quality control. The best proof of the high quality maintained at TN-43 and the wholesomeness of the food is that the whole family eats from the same TN-43 kitchens only. They don’t cook at home at all!

All TN-43 restaurants have open kitchens, with stringent hygiene checks in place. And now under current circumstances all covid protocols are scrupulously followed here.

It was the year 1972 when Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman’s father C.M. Moidu started business on a small scale of having a simple hotel restaurant on the highway.

He was also a vegetable wholesaler and exporter. From that modest enterprise, Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman has taken forward a springboard leap, to create the concept of TN-43 chain where every outlet compound has a restaurant, toilets restrooms, suite rooms, even advanced facilities like feeding rooms for young mothers to nurse their babies, prayer hall for the devout, shops for travel necessities and other interesting knick-knacks, and lots more. There are indoor plants and pots to lend a wonderful close-to-nature ambience. All décor and interiors are world class with many items imported. Nothing but the best would do! All the interiors and exteriors are designed and modelled by Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman himself – yet another feather in his multitalented cap!

One would think that with all these amazing facilities which are unheard of in our country, the place would be super expensive.

Get ready for a pleasant shock on the contrary! TN-43 prices are completely down to earth and affordable. As an example, tea is priced at just Rs.10! These are the rates you would expect from the small roadside makeshift shops, not from a swanky all-facility stopover restaurant like TN-43.

TN-43 chain has evolved into becoming the pride of Tamil Nadu.

Recently they have been felicitated with a government award for best business chain, a nationBANGALORE

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 22

al award for peace, as well as several other awards for excellence. Many other awards and industry acknowledgements as well as customer praises have been heaped on TN-43 for their delightful food and the entire package concept of complete rest, relaxation and entertainment facilities for the whole family.

Every TN-43 typically caters to about 1500 pax each per day. The service is great, and customer is king here.

Apart from the restaurant chain, TN-43 has many other diversifications in totally different areas which are as astounding as they are great. For the first time in India, they have become the first private company to run a train. It is a tourist heritage train that runs from Mettupalyam to Ooty. Not only does it have the distinction of being the country’s first and only privately run train, but it is also a luxury train that is being run like an air flight, complete with hostesses, fresh packaged food being served, luxurious interiors, in-train shopping, and other never-before features. The train has been in service for the last 6-7 months. In fact, it happens to be the world’s only heritage train cited

by UNESCO, no less, for its unique features.

Another out-of-the-box venture they started is hot air balloons which can go up to a height of 600 feet. This venture is in collaboration with a British company. There are plans to facilitate dining BANGALORE

in air for 6 persons at a time at a cost of just Rs 800 per head! As in everything else that Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman touches, all the amazing services are offered at fantastic and unbelievable value-for-money.

Not only these, 25 years back, Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman had the foresight to start a new concept business of running rental bikes and cars under the brand name of Topgear (you can even Google it) – it was the same concept of Ola and Uber which is the trend now.

He was the first one in India to get a license to run rental bikes and cars that time. A great idea born before its time. What Ola is doing today was already done by Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman a quarter of a century ago! A great example of his unique thought processes looking to the future ever.

Any company is only as good as its people, and the leader’s vision becomes critical in setting the standards and expectations of all employees who become like extended family. Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman brings his immense passion into the business, and whatever he undertakes, he does in a big way with lavish and luxurious style, yet offering great value-for-money to his customers.

Coming back to TN-43, the restaurant chain has no franchisees as Chairman Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman is extremely particular about maintaining quality control so that the brand values never get diluted. It’s his baby from start to finish and it is his mission to make it the best baby in the world! With this level of passion, he is an inspiration for his people who look up to him for his vision and farsightedness, passion and involvement and the ever-striving drive for highest standards in every aspect of the business.

Apart from walk-in customers, TN-43 is also patronised by top personalities in the cine world and political arena, tour operators who bring bus-loads of customers here, as well as students, biker groups, cyclist teams, gym goers who come here for their health booster drinks, and others who flock here daily to refresh and dine at TN-43.

Pre-order of lunches is also BANGALORE

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 24

undertaken as per specific requirements of groups in bulk.

A small but interesting fact at TN-43 is that the water served here is always in a glass water bottle, not plastic. It is a testimony to Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman’s broad thinking and farsighted approach to business that takes care of even the tiniest details like how the water should be served to avoid plastic, and thereby start the trend to help save the environment even at this level.

The dynamic entrepreneur Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman’s personality is multifaceted to say the least. From schooling in Ooty, to an abiding love for sports (he was selected for Asiad in Pole Vault!), to singing and art, he is an extraordinary human being beyond compare in terms of his ideas, concepts and execution, and a man of true vision and passion to make a difference in society.

Even during the covid time, when everyone was closing down businesses, he used the down time as an opportunity to build his brand further by opening 10 new outlets. His sharp business acumen had him turning a liability into an asset!

His focus is to have 43 outlets for TN-43 across India!

Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman gives the entire credit for his success to his father who has been his role model and his mother. In fact, he credits his parents’ blessings and the values they have imparted for all his achievements, and is a proud son, obedient to his mother and father, and a complete family man all the way. It is this same sentiment that he carries into all his businesses as well, where he views his

BANGALORE

2021 | APRIL FIRST HALF| 25

entire staff as an extended family and treats them with as much love and care, earning their undying loyalty in turn.

The next generation of the family is also active now with Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman’s son Zain carrying forward his father’s and family legacy.

Zain has ventured recently into a new brand called Homecraves – a readymade frozen foods company with ready-to-cook frozen products, which are already a huge hit in Kerala, with more plans for expansion.

Meanwhile, TN-43 aims to become the food factory of India with 43 outlets of TN-43 across India. Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman is also coming out with a new concept in the name of Café-43 where he plans to have a café every 10 m from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. He is looking for visionary people to join him in this ambitious project.

Grand vision, indeed! With his vision, passion, missionary zeal and relentless dedication, no mountain is too high to climb, no river too deep for Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman.

It starts with a bright idea, and the fruition of that idea is in the best of hands. He has also been felicitated by our PM Narendra Modi for his visionary business acumen.

Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman is a Southern king in the making, on a pan-Indian path, with aim to make a transglobal footprint in the years to come. With the “legend of food factory in India” Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman at the helm, anything is possible!

W

ith Bengaluru, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Air Conditioned City to Aviation Capital to Garden City, this small town turned technopolis has added a new word to the American lexicon: ‘Bangalored’. It means ‘to lose one’s job’ as a result of off shoring work to India.

That’s not all. The city is emerging as a medical tourism hub in India by offering ‘First World Service at Third World Cost’. What’s more, the best and the brightest multinationals are spicing up the retail scene by test-marketing large format stores like Reebok, Levi’s, Adidas, Esprit and Nautica. It’s become a ‘yuppie heaven’. Now that’s yet another sobriquet for the city.

With the Metro Rail opening in phases, things are getting better by the day. Visit the city and be bowled over.

T

he city is famous for its bars and pubs.

It’s called the Beer Capital of India. With good reason. But the best reason to pub hop?

It’s cosmopolitan crowd and the niche pubs that serve a select clientele. There are lounge spaces for the ladies, retro lovers and jazz enthusiasts. Not to mention, resto-bars, sports bars, roof-top bars, hookah bars, dance bars and cigar lounges for the casual and adventurous. Not to mention, the city’s first wine boutique pub. Reason enough to rewind, reboot and restart.

•Alcohol may not be served at some of these places, as per Supreme Court regulation.

Please call the pub/restaurant to confirm.

If you are new to the city, your visit isn’t complete without a visit to its silk and jewellery hotspots. Not to mention, handicraft stores for their sandalwood and antique masterpieces.
