Mr.
Barkur Sudhakar Shetty
Barkuronline is proud to present our prominent Barkur Doddamane
Sudhakar Shetty as our POM. He was born at Barkur on 15 .04.1944
in a middle class hardworking farming land lord family. His house
was just hop, step, and jump from the Barkur high school, whereas
I had to walk three and a half mile one way, which causes me to
believe that success is proportionate to the proximity to
knowledge, literally! Nice to see him now become a Dodda
Manushyaru, a prominent man raised in the Doddamane. Not just a
well built handsome big man, not just a fat wallet rich man, not
merely a profit oriented business man, but a great, a generous,
kind, and a godly man. Barkur history books will carry his name
for centuries to come. He completed his early education up to
SSLC at Barkur and migrated to
Bombay, now Mumbai in search of job and for higher education.
Worked in a small private company for one year and then joined RCF,
did his Diploma in Chemical engineering at Sindri in the State of
Bihar
and returned to Mumbai and joined regular services at RCF Mumbai.
He then changed his job to NOCIL for better prospects and served
there for twelve years in various chemical plant operations and
started his own company, manufacturing specialty chemicals since
1979. Presently the following well reputed companies, well known
in
India and abroad, are under his superb administration:
-
Vasudha
Chemicals Pvt. Ltd, Taloja (Manufacturing and Exporting
Specialty Chemicals to

He has been highly active in promoting children’s education and
welfare and other charitable activities like health and welfare of
children and elderly persons, a project initiated by his father, a
man of generous heart with meager resources, as most of us
Barkurians were! This project also provides
midday
lunch to several hundred elementary school children.
By providing financial assistance to Rukmini Shedthi Memorial
National Upper Primary School at Barkur, and as one of the
promoter of Rukmini Shedthi Memorial National 1st
Grade Government College-Barkur and as the main donor for the
entire project, Mr. Sudhakar Shetty is shining indeed.
He is happily married to Mrs. Sucheta Shetty and is blessed with
one Son and two daughters. Elder daughter is married and younger
daughter is working for a Swiss bank in
Stamford, USA, after completing her studies in Business Management
& Finance in USA. Son is a Chemical Engineer from Manipal
Institute of Technology, Manipal and is assisting his father in
looking after the vast businesses.
Sudhakar travels all the time, Barkur, Udipi,
Bombay and abroad. He was seen at the
Barkur
College construction site quite often to ensure that the high
quality building materials are used for which due payments are
made. His active participation in all aspects of his businesses
has helped him gain good profits. He has employed several hundred
people and has helped them grow to become tax paying citizens, and
has touched the hearts of many. A man of immense generosity and
compassion, indeed. Not all share their newly found wealth, but
Shree Sudhakar Shetty has returned his wealth in multiple fold.
Barkuronline wishes him further success in all his future
endeavors.
