He started Mastermind Bicycle Studio in 2015, taking a big leap of faith to quit his Family Business of manufacturing Zinc Oxide. Mukund has always been educated in Mumbai, having completed his Chemical Engineering from Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, and then going on to pursue his M.B.A in Finance from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, passing out in the year 2012. Mukund started cycling only in the year 2014, his first ever bicycle ride being on the 1st of February 2014, which he very vividly remembers as a “short 16-km ride”. The ride was organized by the Lions Club of Juhu, which Mukund enjoyed so much that he came riding home after the event, clocking a solid 40 kilometers in total on that day. He didn’t even own a bicycle back then; the machine was borrowed from his friend Suraj Subramoniam.
