Dubai: Launch a retail business in 2018 and then go for an expansion in 2020, when the COVID-19 was intent on disrupting even the best laid out plans? Sanjeev Matharu did just that and, so far, he has had no regrets.
Because for a career retailer, there could be no other consideration other than being in the same industry when he branched out to launch his own business. “I’ve worked 27 years in the retail business, including 12 years with Babyshop and I was a co-founder of Max (the value-for-money) apparel brand,” said Matharu.
“Through these 27 years, Landmark made me think just as an entrepreneur would. So, when I launched my own business, I knew only one job and that was to be in retail. I also knew well enough that I did not want to work for anyone else.”
