Insights
1. This is a good profession for those who seek only income from it.
2. Running a garments business may not appeal to many, as almost all days are the
same. You don’t get to see very exciting days or new challenges.
3. I put in about 12 hours per day and work on all days. I also can’t afford long
vacations.
4. Finding the right employees to help you run the shop isn’t easy.

Which institutes, according to you, are the best for pursuing this
career?
Honestly, the success of your business solely depends upon your knowledge and
experience.
However, if we’re talking about a professional degree, I’d suggest you pursue any
Graduation degree in Business/Management/Accounting/Commerce. Anyone of these
degrees would be enough for you to set up a business of your own. You can apply to
colleges like Jai Hind, H.R or even the ones affiliated to the Mumbai University like Mithibai,
N.M, etc. These institutes are all among the top 10 colleges in Mumbai as far as I know.
Can you mention a few challenges that you would want someone
to be aware of if they’re considering garments business as a
career?
The most difficult challenge is choosing the location of your shop because it determines the
success of your business.
If the location is right but competition is high, then profits are low. If the location is wrong,
then you will not have many customers.
The second challenge is finding and retaining the right employees. Unlike the professional
world, employees in this business aren’t generally career oriented. So, finding those few
good employees is a real challenge in the initial days.
The third challenge is the work-life balance. I work on all days without any break. The idea
of working ceaselessly is obviously not appealing to everyone, however, I am now used to
it.
