URJA PADWAL HAS BIG SHOES TO FILL. SO DOES HER YOUNGER SIBLING AKSHAY. THEIR FATHER, RAJIV PADWAL, HAS STEERED THE LITTLE LACY BRAND, AND ITS LEGACY, FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES. WITH AN IMPRESSIVE PORTFOLIO OF BRANDS – LITTLE LACY, EXTRALIFE, ANTRA, AND LOBSTER, A WELL-EQUIPPED AND MODERN MANUFACTURING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CATERS TO BOTH EXPORT AND DOMESTIC PRODUCTION, AND A PAN-INDIA PRESENCE IN MORE THAN 2,500 CRÈME COUNTERS, THE COMPANY IS POISED TO MAKE THE NEXT LEAP. SO, A LOT IS RIDING ON THE SIBLINGS HOW QUICKLY THEY CAN GRASP THE INTRICACIES OF THE BUSINESS AND MEET THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF PADWAL SENIOR.
In a conversation with Inner Secrets, Urja Padwal provides answers and insights on how she plans to take her father’s legacy forward. Excerpts:
You have big shoes to fill. What are your plans? Indeed! This is what happens when you enter a familyrun business. There is a certain baggage you must take care of…whether you want it or not! So, the first step was to earn the respect of staff and industry professionals. Everybody has a perception about you. Peers in the industry have a different point of view, the employees their own and even customers have a different way of looking at you. Sometimes I wonder whether they take me seriously or not!
When did you take over operations in right earnest? My first stint at the company was in 2009 when I had just graduated. I worked for a year then went off to complete my MBA with a 2-year break. I returned in 2012, so that is when I really took charge.
