Shashi Bhushan Tiwari, a notable figure in Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, has transformed his life from earning a modest ₹1,200 per month to running a thriving business with an annual turnover of ₹6 crore. Known as the ‘Mushroom Man,’ Tiwari’s story is a testament to relentless perseverance and passion.
Tiwari’s journey began with a small job in Delhi, where he earned a modest salary. Married in 1996, he and his wife faced numerous hardships, but her support was unwavering. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tiwari decided to return to his village with a vision to pursue something different. Drawing on his experience and the knowledge he gained while working in Delhi and Haryana, he ventured into the mushroom business.

Initially, Tiwari faced significant skepticism from his community. Locals ridiculed his new venture, with some dismissing mushrooms as insignificant or even likening them to “umbrellas made of cow dung.” Despite the criticism, Tiwari remained focused on his goal.
Starting with a modest six-room farmhouse, Tiwari’s enterprise has expanded to a 20-room facility. He encountered several challenges, including transportation issues and strikes. However, with the guidance of mushroom experts, he established a processing unit, which has become pivotal to his success. Today, his farm produces up to 2,200 kg of mushrooms daily, with monthly sales reaching ₹60 lakh.
Tiwari’s success is also reflected in his family; his daughter has become a doctor, and his son now helps advance the family business. Inspired by Tiwari’s achievements, farmers from across the country seek his expertise and training.
This remarkable transformation is a testament to Tiwari’s hard work and dedication, proving that with passion and persistence, success is within reach.
