’Pizza With An Edge’ ‘S quare Pizza’ Located in our very own Mira Road, opposite of Old petrol pump, sells square pizzas which are great in quality and less in price, exactly what college students are looking for, right? So we paid them a visit and asked them to narrate the story of their origin and how did they make it as an entrepreneur. Very thank you for welcoming us at Square Pizza - “Pizza with an edge” Mr. Jignesh Pandeyji. First of all, we would like to ask why did you opt for business? Actually I hold a Degree in Hotel Management and had an interest in this field since long time; so after completing my degree, I did a small business and then met this person Mr. Sonu and we started these pizza outlets in partnership. What was your aim when you were still studying? I mean was it pre planned that you want to run a business of your own someday? Yes, my aim was to establish a business, start a restaurant or something in same field. Accordingly, I met Mr. Sonu and we started these Pizza outlets. What would you say about your partner Mr. Sonu? He helped a lot, unfortunately he had to be somewhere else today. I met him through my sister and he was looking for business partner for few of his branches, so we both sort of got along. How long have you been in this industry? I am in this industry since about a year now but Mr. Sonu is in this industry since a long time, about 7-8 years now. What did he do before starting this pizza chain? He used to work in a pizza outlet before starting this business. What problems did you face while starting this business? We didn’t actually face much problems. You should just know how to grab customers and you are good to go in this industry. What are/were your tactics to make this business rise? Because there are many other pizza outlets in this town, it must be very competitive? What is your USP? Basically our name says everything-Square Pizza. It is how we are different from those other pizza outlets. Everyone makes pizza in round shape, we thought why only round, 18
