About

Suniel has been in the entertainment business for 30 years and has acted in over 130 films. But, his true calling has always been his entrepreneurial journey.

Born into a traditional Shetty family in Mangalore, he started work at the young age of 16 at his father's restaurant. Suniel's strong work ethic comes from working on the field - when the world was celebrating events, he worked hard in the kitchens and at the restaurant. This drive continued to make him excel in every entrepreneurial venture he took up later, be it the trend setting fashion destination Mischief, or creating iconic hospitality brands, his foray into real estate development, and content production hubs thereafter.

While acting remains one of his joys, Suniel has over the last several years, invested in and mentored some interesting startups. He handpicks ideas he wants to be associated with - those with potential to solve real life problems and championed by a team of hungry goal-setters.

Fitness is at his core - pun intended! He remains disciplined, and intent to destroy stereotypes about life beyond 60! At 61, he can proudly say that he is at his fittest best.

He looks forward to using this platform to share his experiences, impart his skills and become a catalyst and an enabler, for those who dare to think outside the box.
