With fifteen years of experience under
his belt, Ashish Aggarwal, Director of Indo Innovations, was always determined
to join his father’s business and partake new levels of success. Today a
successfully led modular furniture brand, Indo Innovations caters to a niche
market within the industry.
A BBA graduate from Bradford University, UK (IILM), he further pursued MBA in Strategic and International Business from ENPC, Paris, Ashish decided to chase his own dreams as an entrepreneur. Here’s the eminent entrepreneur in conversation with PEAKLIFE…
To me, it was clear since the beginning that I’ll be joining my
father’s business and taking it to new heights. I have studied from the best
University in Paris after which I returned to India and started working with my
father. In 2009, I introduced INDO. In no time we collaborated with several
internationally acclaimed brands from the USA, South Korea, Spain, Germany, New
Zealand. Indo Innovation’s journey has been a bumpy ride but the path was
definitely worth the hard work. The hard work doesn’t stop here, every day we,
at Indo Innovations, strive for more and work hard enough to reach our goals.
2.) When talking about a sustainable vision, what does Indo
Innovations has in place?
Our vision is to be a sustainable, reputed and preferred
organisation in the constantly evolving modern world. At Indo Innovations, we
create a modern work environment in the office. Talking about sustainability,
our products are sustainable too. The wide range of our ergonomic chairs not
only provides you comfortable seating but also supports your spine leading to a
productive day at work.
3.) How has work from home impacted business? Do you think
this is the way forward for infrastructure industries?
Yes, like any other industry the pandemic has impacted our
business as well. With the announcement of work from home, obviously, the
offices stopped giving us orders. However, many people have taken interest in
having a home office which helped in sales.
4.) With industries finally opening up, what is the growth
plan for Indo Innovations in 2021?
Growth plans for Indo Innovations in 2021 is quite aggressive.
We have to cover up for 2020 also. Technology will play a very crucial role in
the same. We are in the process of digitalization of Indo Innovations which
will in turn help us in boosting our sales.
5.) Lastly, any advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Don’t view challenges as hurdles and stay positive. Embrace each
challenge as a learning opportunity. When you take small steps, you’ll reach
your goals faster as compared to when you take big leaps. This is because
you’re still in the learning stage and big leaps will only lead to bigger
mistakes. You are bound to come across more stumbling blocks than you thought
possible. If you stop seeing these stumbling blocks as hurdles and more as
opportunities to learn, you’ll be on your way to successful entrepreneurship.
