| Graduate Success Story – Hamza Hussain |
|
|
|
Hamza Hussain has officially presented Mona’s Curry Base to the market this year, and offered tastings at the UK launch event.
He was supported in the entrepreneurial idea from the start, by the University’s Business School, while studying a Business Management with Marketing degree.
Named after his mother who created the recipe, the gluten-free and vegan product is an authentic Indian curry sauce base, suitable for Halal and Kosher diets, which with a few additional fresh ingredients can be used to make any curry.
Mona’s Curry Base has already secured interest and significant orders from a range of businesses, universities, caterers and the NHS.
Hamza showed determination to succeed from the beginning of his degree studies, winning the 2017 Santander Enterprise Challenge in his first year at the University, after impressing the judges with the initial Curry Block idea.
Hamza said: “I’d like to thank all my lecturers at Chester Business School for giving me the help and motivation to set up Mona’s Curry. If it wasn’t for the opportunities that the Business School provided, I would not be where I am today. Having been able to enter and compete in the Enterprise Challenge, it allowed me the chance to bring the idea to life. Winning the competition and getting feedback from industry leaders really helped me in going forward with the business venture.
“After graduating, I am delighted to have secured backing to officially launch Mona’s Curry Base. My advice to future graduates is to be ambitious and go for it. Never be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. If you are determined enough, you will succeed.”
