Ep. 262 - [Singapore] Traditional Seafood Insights for Cultivated Seafood Technology with Mihir Pershad, CEO and Co-founder of Umami Meats

Today I’m interviewing Mihir Pershad, co-founder of Umami Meats, a cultivated seafood company in Singapore. Mihir has great in-depth knowledge of the fish farming industry and does an amazing job explaining and articulating the complexities in traditional seafood agriculture. What I really enjoyed is that he captures the nuances and the problems quite well. This gives him a significant advantage when he launched Umami Meats, which focuses on cultivated seafood. After this interview, Umami Meats had people try their product in Singapore’s fine dining among other cultivate meat brands so they are innovating fast! Be prepared to swim in fish and seafood facts in this interview. Mihir is super knowledgeable in not just the fish industry but understands just how the whole world works and that insight enlightened me a lot in just how it’s all connected. If you’re planning to start a business, Mihir does a great job explaining just a lot of things that are really useful for entrepreneurs such as understanding your market, funding in Singapore, and finding research on research that doesn’t even exist. One thing is prominent in this interview is that Mihir knows fish facts! Shownotes: http://myfoodjobrocks.com/262Mihir Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
