Bujji has a bachelor of fisheries science degree in aquaculture and oceanography from the College of Fisheries, Mangalore at the University of Agricultural Sciences in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

“I am happy to be associated with The Fishin’ Company, a progressive organization in the seafood industry. With the seafood industry valued at around USD 140 billion (EUR 123 billion) and growing, opportunities are plenty. At the same time, we have challenges on sustainability, authenticity, food safety and traceability along the supply chain,” Bujji said. “We are excited to work to overcome this and be change agents, which is at the core of our business at Fishin’ [Company].”
