"Try to be among people who don't have any stakes against your success."

Neeraj started his career in 2004 as Business Manager with ICICI Bank Limited, where he was responsible for business development, marketing, and product launches at various locations in northern India. After a 2 – 3 years stint in the banking industry and gaining both practical and theoretical experience, he began his much-awaited journey of being an entrepreneur, through Eshopbox.

What inspired you to build the above product/ service?

We started being a consultant to fashion brands. What we realised was, in spite of having great products, these brands were still facing challenges. What these fashion houses needed was a single centralised platform from where they can manage all their multi-channel sales. This saves a lot of resources and enables these brands to concentrate on what they do best. There was clear problem to solve and we were very quick to realise and get on it.

What is your life mantra?

When I want to achieve something, I make a mental video of it and then I start working towards it. Whenever I face difficulty, setback or any obstacle along the path I come back, watch my mental video and start again.

What was the most challenging part of your journey till now?

Online retail norms on major channels are changing almost every day. The situation is similar to running when the earth is shaking below you. However, I like challenges. This creates an opportunity for us as it is more difficult for brands to keep up and anticipate these changes. So we provide them leverage of focusing on their expertise which is making products and let the pros handle the online retail part.

Answer in less than 50 words

  • One tip to success:

You must have already heard it multiple times “Never, Never, Never give up”. In life, you will have thousands of reasons every day to give up on things and your dreams. People who have achieved something have done it only because they followed one principle of “I will not give up”.

Being dependent.

  • One most important lesson that you have learnt till now:

Try to be among people who don’t have any stakes against your success.

What are your plans for next 3 years?

We want to achieve 25% of Indian online apparel retail business.

If you get a chance to start your career again what would you do differently this time?

I will take more risks and be a bit more adventurous in my choices.

What are your top three getaway destinations?

Haven’t been much of a traveller but beaches of goa in offseason and Rishikesh. These places give me the solace which I dearly miss in cities.

Share a quote that inspires you the most.

We are all born into an orbit. It is up to us to progress to the next. We could choose to live and die in the orbit that we are born in. But that would be a criminal waste of potential. When we push ourselves into the next orbit, we benefit not only ourselves but everyone connected with us. However, when you change orbits, you will create friction. The good news is that your enemies from your previous orbit will never be able to reach you in your new one. By the time resentment builds up in your new orbit, you should move to the next level. And so on. Changing orbits is the key to our progress. – Dhirubhai Ambani.
