My success mantra
For me it is all about dedication and hard work and keeping myself updated with the latest technology.
My first milestone
Buying my first Volvo luxury coach. It was truly special.
My inspiration in life
It has to be my mother as a person. She started this business and has grown it to great heights. My job is to grow it further.
Biggest career learning
Opening a different branch, setting it up and ensuring it grows. It was the opening of our Mumbai office. Now we have two offices in Mumbai.
My stressbuster
Going on an adventure holiday with friends as I totally enjoy trekking and hiking.
My favourite management book
My mother is my management book. I learn my management lessons from her.
USP of my Girikand team
Our team works as a family and our relationship with our staff go a long way.
My dream destination
Brazil for sure, I want to go to the Amazon jungle. I have never been to South America.
Vision for my company
We want to set our foot outside of India and take all our services there.
My advice to gen-next
Become an entrepreneur and venture out into your own businesses. This helps you be a job creator, which is very crucial for the economy.
