This
was an opportunity which I could not refuse – new place, new organisation, very
different culture and thought process – to build from scratch! Moved from
Ahmedabad to Karnataka – Bengaluru ☺ Except
for traffic (which is frustrating) Bengaluru is a beautiful and most happenning
place by all standards. The initial 6 months were learning of a different kind -
I had to start from literally nothing – locate real estate agent to hire office
space on lease – get it renovated and equipped to our requirements – recruit
team – marketing, designing, branding, admin, accounts…. And then it was market
research for premium luxury products and buiding of customer base – and then it
was all the way performance & results beyond expectations! Fantastic team,
fabulous product range – the growth was phenominal in just 2-3 years and it
continued… System based reporting –
every important reports were sent out to stakeholders at a fixed time every day
by way of auto mail system. Hands on management – very practical & risk
taking – and fast decision making was encouraged. Fantastic exposure to global
fashion trends, well known designers & professionals world over. It was a
culture of “work hard & party harder”, in a very postive sense.
