With his innovative concept of a different
kind of green factory and broader vision
of what sustainability stands for, Zahir is
among the few who doesn’t want to sell
just apparels to his buyers. His focus is on
selling the concept of an awesome factory
which is not only green, but also has high
productivity and good quality.

STRONG LOBBYIST
FOR TEXTILE
INDUSTRY
a giant retailer is not enough
for Kishore Biyani. His strength
is foresight which is making him
successful. He is of the view that
there is finally an opportunity to
build an Indian Amazon or Alibaba
after the Government curbed online
marketplaces from selling products by
companies in which they hold stakes
and banned exclusive marketing
arrangements that could influence
product prices.

Backed by an amazing company culture,
with a perfect approach and balance
between expansion and consolidation,
Neeraj has quietly come out from the
shadows of the Chairman and has
strategically propelled Vardhman to growth.
The company regularly expands but takes
at least two to three years in between for
consolidation because it believes that this
makes one financially better…
