From music to freshwater shrimp farming with Sumehr Gwalani of GI Aqua | Episode 12
<p><strong>In this episode, Luke sits down with Sumehr Gwalani, a talented musician, avid football player & former U17 world cup competitor from Goa who in recent years has shifted professions to that of a Freshwater Shrimp Farmer. </strong></p> <p>Born in Goa but spending much of his formative years in Mumbai, Sumehr developed a strong passion for sound while working in a recording studio throughout his studies in Economics. However uninspired by the direction of the Mumbai music industry, he decided to move back to Goa where he could pursue a pace more in tune with the lifestyle he envisioned for himself. Yet it was the choice to rejoin the family business in the export of commercial seafood that ultimately led Sumehr to setting up a farm of his own on the island of Divar with the aims of reimagining the way we source & produce our food. A project which has since evolved into a full blown exploration of alternative aquaculture in an attempt to revive many of the depleting staples in everyday Goan cuisine.</p> <p><strong>While Sumehr's farm, GI Aqua, is currently shut for the monsoons, they do plan to resume operations come December. After which we highly suggest you to get in touch & place orders or even pay a visit to the farm yourself see what Sumehr & his teams are up after the rains.
