This age-old adage holds true for the fourth-generation entrepreneur from Hyderabad, Abhishek Chanda. With a family seeped into the business of precious metals since 1901, over the journey of a century and more, they are looked on as pioneers in the field of bullion trading and jewellery via their family firm Caps Gold Pvt. Ltd.
The 34-year-old entrepreneur recalls his childhood with a lot of nostalgia and passion saying that it was during those days that he learnt the tricks of the trade. "I come from a joint family of over 50 people. In my school years, we had a store at General Bazar in Secunderabad where I understood the trading of gold and silver. I thank God for giving me encouraging parents who supported me in whatever I did."
An alumnus of St Patrick's school and pursuing his engineering soon after, he recalls having a happy and carefree childhood where he went to the family store in summer vacations out of sheer curiosity.
Having gone to pursue his MBA from Cardiff University in the UK, he says that he was always sure that he wanted to come back to Hyderabad. "I didn't want to be trapped in the hustle and bustle of London life, so I chose Cardiff which was a very laidback place. Though I learnt a lot in my time there, having grown up in a joint family. I missed that energy and came back to Hyderabad."
"I believe in working hard," says Abhishek Chanda, Director at Capsgold Private Limited, Kalasha Fine Jewels and Vasavi Group. A fourth-generation entrepreneur, he is not only carrying his family legacy forward but is also introducing new technology and changes in the structure and work atmosphere.
Having launched Kalasha Jewels the first-of-its-kind designer jewellery store in 2016, which currently has a turnover of over 250 crores, the 34-year-old has proved that success happens to those who are determined and focused. In an exclusive with Hashtag, he talks about his journey and growth...
