Clarity of vision drives me; in the absence of this clarity, I feel that any entrepreneur, despite starting a venture will tend to go with the wind and eventually lose track in life.
When in crisis of an employee, be it professional or personal, I am always right behind them.
exposure in large size MNCs in new age industries and my entreprenuerial spirit converged at the right mix and the result is there, loud and large in front of all. How do you tackle challenges in your business? Any negative situation I consider as an opportunity. I look deeply for positive aspects in every challenge and have always been highly successful. One of the biggest and most important successes of Confident Group is the committed team. Today, we have close to 3,000 team members. At Confident Group, even during recession we have not retrenched a single employee but we have given bonus and salary increments every year and also salary on-time every time. This again is rare in the real estate industry. Keeping them alert and focused in real time environment is well done by the board of directors and this not only ensures delivery of quality to customers but also Job security and guarantee to the employees.
How do you evaluate your strengths and weakness as a business man? My strength as a businessman lies in the marketing and branding talent in me. I also have a very strong vision and high focus on implementation. Once I decide something; come what may, I get the team to implement the same. When in crisis of an employee be it professional or personal, I am always right behind them. The weakness people say I have is the extremely fast decision making and I have always found this to be a major advantage. I can equally take various styles of instructing and guiding based on the personal style of my team members. How do you keep your body and mind fit? I play golf and regular workouts and walking in the park. Hobbies / special interests My biggest hobby is doing business the right way, producing cinemas, motivating team members and creating brand ‘Confident Group’.
