What has been your success mantra?
I strongly believe that when we develop a passion for learning, we never cease to grow. Throughout my journey, I have made learning a part of my personal and professional development in an effort to avoid
stagnation and reach my full potential. I indulge myself in reading about the growth strategies of successful entrepreneurs and keep adopting new technology while making sure it works for me and the people around me. I believe that change is the only constant and one of the most effective ways of dealing with change is to be a lifelong learner.

Even after 26 years, the company’s product range not only meets the demand of domestic clients but also highly satisfies clientele in countries of the Indian sub-continent, Middle East, and Africa.

I follow industry experts and influencers and read about the latest technological advancements to help my team to identify new opportunities for growth and innovation.

With a deep understanding of the latest developments, I believe, one can make more informed decisions
