1. Tell us about your journey
We started the Wealth Management Business for Dharni Group on 22-Jul-2014. We then believed that the formalization of the economy was underway and investments would also move from the informal sector to the formal sector. Since then, multiple events like GST, Demonetization, Rera, etc have proved our assumptions correct.
Investments across asset classes have grown and are better regulated than they were at the start of our journey. In the next decade, we expect the Wealth Management Business in India to reach newer heights, at a pace not seen in the history of Independent India.
2. What are the key ingredients to achieve success?
Each Business needs to find one USP, which becomes the key to its success. For Dharni Group, that trait has been our integrity and honesty. Across the group, across levels, each individual in the company is trained to be honest and upright, irrespective of the situation. Our clients value and appreciate this trait, which results in the growth of our Business.
3. How do you handle failures?
Failures are part and parcel of the game. In situations where we fail, we do a root cause analysis and then set up systems and processes, so that we may not repeat the same mistakes again.
4. What’s the one word or phrase that defines your identity?
Honesty and Integrity.
5. Is the search for excellence utopian or is it for real?
Excellence is a moving target. Even if you reach the number one position, you need to continue working hard and evolve further, so that you may continue to stay in that position for a longer period. If someone else evolves at a faster pace, you will be overtaken, irrespective of your pace of improvement.
6. How would you mentor / advise people who are struggling in their lives?
I would advise them to not stop learning. As time progresses, they will master the chosen skill and over a period of time, the skill will be valuable enough that struggles will turn into winners.
7. What’s the one quote that defines your approach to life?
Most people at their dying stage tend to regret not doing things and few regret what they did. So, if you want something, go for it and give it all that you have.
