'THINK, PLAN AND THEN ACT'

What made you pave way towards entrepreneurship?

The late 1960s were not the best of times to kick off one's own business venture. Certainly not for two young boys, who did not hail from a business family and who were already engaged in cushy jobs in a large and respectable corporate group - The Birla Group. But then, if you love being the boss rather than being bossed around, if you have a desire to be in control, things will always be different. And that's exactly what happened with us. So it was by choice that we left our jobs and stepped into the world of business.

What was your mission at the outset? How long have you come in order to fulfill the same?

From the very beginning of our journey, we were very aggressive. Our motto has always been to stand apart from the rest, strive for the best and offer our consumers value for money products.

As a leader, what does teamwork mean to you and what is the role of a team in the success of a business?
