Tell us about your leadership approach, and the guidelines or methodologies you follow to lead your team.
I am a firm believer in delegation and entrusting my team with 100 percent responsibility for their work. From day one, this approach has been a key factor in our success. When we first began, our team consisted of just eight employees, and we were solely focused on inspection services. Today, thanks to the unwavering commitment and dedication of our team, we have expanded our offerings and grown year by year. This development is a testament to our culture of trust and collaboration, where every team member is empowered to take ownership of their tasks and activities. By fostering a sense of accountability and teamwork, we have built a dynamic and thriving organization that is poised for continued success in the years to come.
In light of your strong experience within the industry, what advice would you give to budding industry leaders?
Skkato India has ventured into a wide range of industries, from providing top-notch third-party Inspection Metrology and Audit Training to diving into the manufacturing sector. We have even established ourselves in the restaurant and resort business. Looking ahead, we are gearing up to explore the promising realm of artificial intelligence and automation or even Mechatronics. We aim to stay ahead of the game and not fall behind in the face of such cutting-edge technology.
