This decision brought a paradigm shift in the company. We got converted a Public Limited from the partnership in 2017. To fulfill the growth of the company, we formulated a corporate structure; appointed team of 6 HODs in an earlier stage, and as we expanded that team member number went up to 14. Now we are shaping a new leadership within the organization, he added.

We have inculcated women leadership in the company also. Chinchwad and Nashik which are the highest revenue-generating showrooms are managed by women store incharge. Even we reskilled our sales force on a regular basis for good customer service. Our efforts have paid us very well and we are feeling proud to be a part of the Fortune 500 India list, Mr. Modak mentioned.
