Satish Sharma is not too highly qualified from his education background. He had studied up to the 12th standard of school from a local Vernacular medium school. But today in a metropolitan city like Gurgaon he has established a business set up employing more than 20 people and his turn over touching to his satisfaction.
Satish came to the retail business of household products in 2008 starting from cleaners, wipers, dustbin, sanitisers to name a few. He started to supply his items to several corporate offices in Gurgaon. Soon his business started to give dividend and he hired two more people in his team. From then onwards he was not looking back.
Simple and sober Satish himself says, “I am hailing from a farmer family. My father was a farmer. I have not studied too much but I wanted to do something big in life. I had the dream not only to eke out my livelihood but also provide jobs to other people. If you are passionate and work hard no one can stop you from achieving your dreams. For me work is worship."
Now he has opened his huge store at Mata Road in Gurugram near the bus stand. “ Here sales his is picking up and we are doing our best for the publicity part. Lots of people are visiting our store here and they liked our store, products and the space we provided here for the customers. The wide space we have provided here has been attracting customers. In a city like Gurugram space for the retail customer is very little. Besides that our store is also located in the prime area of Gururgam city. People like to visit our store,” said Satish.
Blessed with two daughters and one son, Satish is a happy family man and presently lives in Rewari with his parents. Every day he commutes to Gurugram in the morning to his retail showroom and returns to his home located in Rewari in the late evening. “Travelling takes a lot of time for me. But I am happy to live with my parents in Rewari which is much peaceful and free of pollutions,” he adds.
Down the line, Satish wants to expand his business. “I want to expand my business where hundreds of employees will be working under me. There is huge potentiality in retail segments and I want to give jobs to lots of youths,” he reveals.
Satish is very much spiritual and likes Indian ethos, culture and tradition. When is not doing business Satish like to watch movies, travel abroad and read books.
