Born in a big family with 14 siblings and having lost his parents early, Kadappa Mysore could
scarcely have dreamt that he would one day be embarking on a Rs. 100-crore project in his
village.
Mr. Mysore lost his father when he was in class VI and mother when he was in class X. His
brothers did try to support him, but it was hard going for the agricultural family. After emerging
a topper at the National High School, Hubli, in SSLC, he mobilised funds for studies by working
as a watchman and a daily wager at a cotton mill at night. He went to P.C. Jabin Science College
during the day.
He self-funded his engineering degree which he completed at Siddharth Institute of Technology,
Tumkur, in the stream of Instrumentation Technology. To meet the expenses, he worked as a
part-time teacher in a high school.
After his studies, he worked in a firm briefly in Bangalore, and later established Shanthala
Engineering in 1999 with an investment of Rs. 35,000 from his provident fund out of a single-
room home where he lived with his wife.
In the last 14 years, Shanthala Engineering, having its base in Hubli, has become Shanthala
Power Research Corporation and now Mr. Mysore is the chairman of Shanthala Group of
Companies, which has testing units spread across the country and has added international clients
in the recent years.
Beginning with the national-level Special Award for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes
entrepreneur, Mr. Mysore has bagged four national-level awards, including the Rajiv Gandhi
National Quality Award instituted by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Dream project

Rs. 100-crore project at his native village, located off the Pune-Bangalore national highway. His
company has now purchased a 40-acre land in his village for his project.
His project comprises setting up over 10 laboratories that would function under the name
