Unique Selling Proposition / Competitive Advantage:
The desire to go that extra mile for the clients for every small or big request is something that sets the firm apart, they believe. This emotion runs throughout the team, which is beautiful and unique. Moreover, the team believes that luxury is not a want or a desire, it is way beyond that. It is an emotion that makes their members feel happy and important. This drives the team to do its absolute best, keeping the members at the core of everything they do.
Challenges Faced During The Journey:
One of the most difficult issues the team experienced at first was introducing the concept of concierge to the Indian market. Many people were not aware of this concept. The team overcomes this difficulty by first raising knowledge of what a concierge is and then guiding the client to a purchasing decision.
Advice For Women Entrepreneurs:
The only advice Shreya Patharkar would like to give anyone is to take risks and live their dream. Don't let the stereotypical thinking about how a woman should be or behave discourage you from achieving your goals. Your bold decisions will challenge others and break the glass ceiling. Good girls don't make history, bold girls do!
