The Patel family, originally from Anand in Gujarat and residents of Surat for the last 45 years, has a long history of organizing fairs. Brijesh's father, Hitesh Patel, started this tradition around 22-23 years ago, and Brijesh himself has been steering this venture for the past decade.

Brijesh's travels abroad for various fair events and his fascination with what foreign countries had to offer led to the conception of the Underwater Tunnel Aquarium Fair in Surat. He drew inspiration from similar fairs he had visited during his stays in Dubai and Singapore.

Apart from organizing the Aquarium Fair, Brijesh is also known for organizing beautiful fairs held at Vanita Vishram Ground in Surat city.

Brijesh extends an open invitation to the residents of Surat and beyond, urging them not to miss out on experiencing the mesmerizing world of the Underwater Tunnel Aquarium Fair.
