Quotes
My dad pushed me out after I did my education. He pushed me out to go and work for the company. He was very clear to work with a large organization for you to understand skill
All the learnings and the personal growth that I got was from the first job that I stayed at for 4 and a half to five years and I have seen that company grow by leaps and bounds.
Wouldn’t have been possible without his (dad's) support, without mom’s support because she was there. Being an entrepreneur by her nature and she’s been running factories and companies and FMCs, manufacturing stuff, she knew certain things that she taught me
I was open to communication even if I failed, I was open to communication on every bit that is happening in the company, discussions and brainstorming
UAE, as a country, I really felt this is one of the best possible countries to open and set up a business because it’s absolutely lean and clean. They are very clear with their rules and procedures and they’re very clear about the steps that you need to take.
Experience is … having every control, trying to control every bit of things. But if that goes out of control, have patience and keep walking.
