1.Why did you choose entrepreneurship as a career option?
Entrepreneurship for me is an adrenaline rush, taking risks to produce something exciting to the soul in the hope of contributing and giving back to the society. I was never the type to have my head buried in my PC, behind a desk under the pretext of a conventional 9 to 5 job. I was always ready to get my hands dirty and take on challenges because for me that meant truly living and proving my mettle.

2.Can you tell us about the enterprises that you handle?
I have set up MAX GROUP of Companies on 3 main verticals:
Max Solutions, which provides all security solutions to homes, offices and hotels.
RENTertainment, which deals with rentals of latest gadgets, tech services and a variety of games.
The Bark Club, which is South Mumbai’s only premium pet boarding facility spanning over 4500sq feet and having a 25 feet long swimming pool that provides utmost love, care and luxury to its 4-legged guests.

3. From lending gadgets to a pet related business, what made you jump into this new venture?
My Son, Shaan, an intelligent golden retriever, ignited a fire in me that made me want to reach out to other Pet Parents to provide them with a premium pet boarding service with state of the art facilities for their little ones. The Bark Club is the first in South Mumbai to provide a hotel for pets while their parents are away and yet watch over them through our personalized CCTV camera access.

4. How is the Bark Club better than its competitors?
The Bark Club is the only premium pet boarding in South Mumbai which provides services with utmost love and care, to make your pets feel at home. We have 4500 sq. ft of open spaces and luxurious rooms to provide them with the best of the best. Our swimming pool is Mumbai’s largest pool ( length – 25feet ) for dogs and we provide CCTV access to all pet parents to always be in touch with their precious little ones.

5. What are the difficulties you have faced so far?
Every establishment whether big or small face a few bumps along the way, for me every difficulty is a challenge and rising up to them proves your calibre. We have faced many challenges from setting in only 10 days to running this full fledged on a daily basis. Love and care are our topmost priority and I believe my family has supported me through every thorn in this journey. My team makes me who I am today.

6.What has been your best experience with bark club?
Every day we face new experiences at The Bark Club, the best ones are where the pet parents send us feedback stating that they were happy with the way their pet was cared for by us. It swells my heart with pride and joy to be able to provide the same love that I provide to Shaan to all my guests.

7. Advises that you would like to give to the entrepreneurs in making.
The most viable advice I can provide to upcoming entrepreneurs is that Be Yourself every step of the way and you will shine through. Do something that ignites that overwhelming passion in you, because that is the only form of self-motivation that never dies out.
