Stop Selling Software and Start Selling Lehengas
In 2016 I quit a very successful career in IT which spanned multiple countries including US, Canada, Europe, UK, Singapore & India. I stopped selling software & started selling lehengas! This lead to building Koskii, an ethnic occasion wear brand for women with the learning of an 18 year IT & business career with a global context, working with highly intellectual people and applying those learnings in a local Indian context with a team that was only semi-literate in a business that sold ethnic apparel for women. In this talk, I will be sharing our story and how eventually we managed to set the ball rolling to build a successful retail chain with a vision to scale the world.
