What has been your success mantra that constantly helps you arrive at positive outcomes?
Our success is completely based on our product quality and its base which is connected to natural solutions. We take the support of nature to help people who are harming themselves by going away from nature. This is where our foundation is built and even though, we have achieved commercial success in the industry, we have never strayed away from this path.
In your professional journey so far, which are the milestones that have bestowed you with utmost satisfaction- both personally and professionally?
We started this brand with a purpose to provide a cost-effective healthy food supplement solution which can be affordable for everybody. Within a few months of launch we crossed the first milestone of 1 lakh regular monthly customers for growfitz products. Even our marketing expenditure is zero as our products are being sold based on organic reach and word of mouth publicity. Other than that, I find myself satisfied when people provide us positive feedback and say that our products have helped them cure their health issues.
Based on your strong professional experience, what advice would you give to the upcoming entrepreneurs in the same industry?
I have only one advice which I have gained from my experience - Focus on providing a Quality Experience to your new customer so that they will become your regular customer. This will help you to build a loyal customer base and that is crucial if you want to have sustained success in the industry.
