Life is a never ending journey, lots of ups & downs, highs & lows, never ending challenges which make you a better man/woman ( nothing sexist here!) because someone put it the right way that WHAT DOES NOT KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER! Always on mind was travelling the country, meeting new people and make money (Who does not want that nowadays? :D).
Not getting that much of a pocket money to do all the 3 things, I was always in 2 minds to pursue studies or go the other way around. I was lucky to find a pocket money expense paying job in event management while searching the internet through IDEA network. All that was required was a pair of formal shirts and a smart blazer. SPOOSH, that is the entry of PANTALOONS in my life where I found my perfect cost-effective attire. A confident look on the face which came from a dapper look, I was able to crack the interview. Few events went by with me juggling between my college and my newfound passion which was paying me as well. What can you ask for while being in a college life, an entirely new circle of friends, new colleagues every days , meeting new people and of course the happy sound & feeling of a wedding ( Not to take into account the wedding food meals which I am entirely in love with).
I felt this was chance to make it big in an industry that I entered just recently, and I made a decision that I do not regret at all. With all the monetary benefits and a need to expand my new business entity Shehnai Hospitality, I needed to get a look that made a BIG impact as soon as I entered, the shirts from PETER ENGLAND and suits from ALLEN SOLLY and VAN HEUSEN’s made sure I did that in a flawless way. Smart and comfortable the attire sustained the rigour of working in weddings and conferences where no moment was dull including 5’o clock in the morning We needed to make sure that we were effective in our communication within our team and also with the guests that we needed to attend along with the constant reporting to the client, bride and groom about the arrival of the guests, their stay, travel and logistics. We need to trust a network that reaches our audience when they are travelling, in their corner houses and of course the hotels in downtown and south. We were able to do that with IDEA-VODAFONE in a cost-effective way.
We made an impression and captured a lot of market share with our services in the logistics business and always made sure we satisfy the only gods we knew, our guests ( ATHIHI DEVO BHAVA!). In no time we hired full time employees of our core team and got same suits stitched for everyone, GRASIM’s suits length were perfect here a style and look that we were looking for that matched our values of the Guest Care and client satisfaction.
A journey to a dream most often than not has a lot of speed breakers and path splits, but it is your will, a help from people that care about you ( ABG is one) and a burning desire that makes you reach there.
