Subiksha Kumar, popularly known as Meenava Ponnu Subi, is an Indian fisherwoman, seafood entrepreneur, and social media influencer born on 30 August 2002 in the coastal town of Thoothukudi (Tuticorin), Tamil Nadu. She grew up in the Periyathalai shoreline area along the Coromandel Coast. Despite holding a degree in English Literature and briefly working in banking and finance, her passion for the sea led her to join her father J. Kumar and younger brother Leander in their fishing livelihood. She began documenting raw fishing life through vlogs on her YouTube channel 'Meenava Ponnu Subi' (233K+ subscribers) and Instagram (500K+ followers), breaking gender stereotypes in a traditionally male-dominated profession. In October 2025, she entered Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 as a contestant, inspiring many viewers with her resilience and positivity.
