Self-improvement is the best enhancement, they say. Someone has rightly said – be the person you want to meet. Yet, chances are, most of us are struggling with being not just presentable but also acceptable. We educate ourselves in the best possible way, but the fine-tuning of personality is left untouched. Your personality and how you appear to a person is vital to your success with him or her. And this is where Pune’s very own grooming school comes into picture – Arrista School of Finesse. Run by young Chirag Shah, they are into working with leading corporate and academic brands in training their staffand management teams with various disciplines, right from grooming, business etiquette to motivation, team-building and offsite and sales and lead management.
