Early Life and Educational Pursuits

Born in Koothuparamba, Kannur, Shinu faced economic challenges from a young age. To support his education, he undertook various labor-intensive jobs, including headloading and welding. Despite these hurdles, his commitment to academics remained steadfast. He earned both an MBA and an MA, showcasing a dedication to intellectual growth alongside his physical endeavors.

Introduction to Bodybuilding

At 18, Shinu's passion for fitness led him to 'Gym Zone' in Koothuparamba, where he trained under the guidance of Mahesh Babu, a fitness expert associated with the Indian Railways. This mentorship laid the foundation for his future successes in the bodybuilding arena.

National and International Achievements

Shinu's dedication bore fruit as he clinched numerous titles on both national and international stages. Notably, he secured three World Championships and three Asia Championships, along with a South Asia title. His victories in the World Bodybuilding and Sports Physique competitions held in Thailand (2018, 2022) and South Korea (2019) are particularly commendable.

Professional Endeavors and Contributions

Beyond the competitive stage, Shinu has made significant contributions as a personal trainer, working with renowned film personalities such as Deepti Sati and Kamna Jethmalani. His versatility extends to acting, with a role in the film 'Pathonpatham Noottandu' directed by Vinayan. Additionally, he has ventured into modeling and has served as a brand ambassador for various companies, further solidifying his multifaceted career.

Appointment to the Kerala Police

In recognition of his achievements and dedication, a recent cabinet meeting approved Shinu's appointment as an Armed Police Inspector in the Kerala Police. He will assume a newly created supernumerary position in the Armed Police Battalion, equivalent to the rank of inspector. Alongside him, fellow bodybuilding star Chitharesh Natesan will also be appointed to a similar role.

Community Engagement and Personal Life

During his undergraduate years at Nirmalagiri College, Shinu was an active participant in the National Service Scheme (NSS), reflecting his commitment to community service. He is the son of the late V K Nanu and Omana, and his journey from a hardworking student to a celebrated bodybuilder and police officer serves as an inspiration to many.
