In an interview with business journal Insights Success, Ms. Prachi shares about her journey, challenges, achievements, and future goals. Below are the highlights of the interview between Ms. Prachi and Insights Success.
1. Describe your professional journey as an inspiring CEO.
My journey has been a roller coaster since it started, and I think that’s what has helped me to learn and execute the right things and to also achieve the trust of the directors and the team in the organisation to have achieved this post. After my professional qualification, despite being into family business of salons, I was made to start as an assistant in the salon. From there, there was no looking back.
Working and acting as a salon manager to a technical person then a trainer my journey went on and on. Later, I was chosen to be the managing director and my roles were more into developing operations and sales. I was promoted as a CEO after a span of 10 years and trust me being the CEO of an organization is not an easy job. But being called upon as one of the inspirational CEOs to be mentioned is an absolute honour.
2. Who inspires you to wake up every day and keep making a difference in the respective industry you are catering to?
I think continuous innovation and learning through the failures is what I have experienced so far. Amongst 3 siblings, I feel blessed that I got an opportunity to carry the legacy ahead, but it was never my dream to someday be a CEO or not, but I guess my dedication, passion, honest efforts and understanding and catering the minor details of this business, made my Mother and the company trust me and to reward me with this position.
3. As the CEO of your company, what challenges have you faced while establishing and running the business?
The difficult part of the job is the journey that I came across to be a CEO.
Through ups and downs, I have experienced throughout this journey of 10 years that it takes so much patience and appropriate team members to successfully run an organisation.
I think majority Of the CEOs and many others face a hell of a lot of challenge and rose to the occasion to meet it. For me as well, at times there were high risks but I knew that the high reward was worth it. Making a difference in the world whether it is in the company or developing an amazing venture and helping people grow alongside is what has kept me motivated to take up this position and I try my 200% to justify the same each day.
