Excerpts: 


Can you tell us about your background and how you got started in the bathroom/sanitary industry?


I embarked on my professional journey after completing my B-Tech from REC Calicut, followed by an MBA from I.M.S.A.R. MDU Rohtak. Right from the beginning, I was determined to make a mark in the corporate world. It has been a gratifying and rewarding expedition. Over the span of nearly two decades, I have dedicated myself to relentless hard work, traversing every nook and corner of the country.

 

This remarkable journey involved extensive travel, with me spending 12 months visiting approximately 1500 hotels. I found myself away from home for 15 days each month, experiencing three meals a day at various locations. Throughout this arduous yet fulfilling endeavour, I continuously acquired new skills, averaging one per month. I firmly believe that continuous learning is vital for professional growth, and with every new role, I prepared myself diligently.

What advice do you have for the people who are interested in pursuing a career in this industry and aspire to become a sales leader?


To all the youngsters: Love your job and follow your passion. If you see my journey, I have travelled passionately. Non-stop work has been the hallmark of my tenure everywhere. One more thing: you need to keep searching for improvement areas and rekindle your own passion from time to time. 


My journey: It has been a relatively slow one, new generation doesn’t have that much of patience. The journey that I have been a part of, in two decades, they would prefer to cover that in a lesser time. One reason for it would also be the changing macro environment opportunities. 


My suggestion: Agility is good but we have to ensure that before we put our second foot forward, we need to be sure that the first one doesn’t move. To sum it up, it’s important to maintain a judicious balance between speed, style, and substance.
