Navin is from a
village BAVLA near Ahmedabad in Gujarat
.His father Mr.Hiralal had a grocery
shop to support the family. With the
business acumen in the blood, Navin
could not focus on studies and ,
believe it or not , he dropped out of
school in 9 th Std.!
Totally
ambitious to do some thing new and
with the fire in his belly to do big,
he joined in a rice mill and learnt
completely about running a rice mill
within 6 months at the age of 15.That
was in 1978. Recognizing his latent
talents and inherent strength in
business-building , he was invited to
join as a partner by a rice-mill owner.
In 1980 he joined one of the mills as
working-partner and , hold your breath
, by 1985-90 he built his own
rice-mill ! He never looked back
afterward in life..
Navin studied
business in its all perspectives and
this made him to think of exporting
food-stuff to foreign countries.
Supported by his relative and owner
of Kuwait Thakkar Textiles – Mr. Kanti
Bhai, by arranging a visa .Navin
visited Kuwait in 1999. He continued
his visits to study the market here in
depth and in 2001 he secured a
sponsorship to export and distribute
food items. With the sweet memories of
one of his favorite restaurants at
India he named his company as “Honest
General Trading co”.
Navin believes ,
being honest ,righteous , and sincere
at heart bears fruits always and then
god showers his blessings on you to
prosper.
Navin brings out
few salient features in business in
India and Kuwait out of his experience.
In India, the initial losses in business
would be less than in kuwait and when
Navin was prepared for such an
outcome, he could keep it to minimum in
the beginning with the support of his
clientele .
In 2002 he
started his branch in Shuwaik
for whole-sale & retail of food items.
Next one in 2005 in Jahra
and in 2007 he opened his Hyper
Market in Fahaheel he employs
around 100 staffs all over . With
direct importing of commodities and of
course, in large volumes , presumably,
he passes on the benefits to his
customers ,at the same time, maintaining
a high quality .With broadening of his
expertise in this field he wishes to
continue and flourish more.
Navin is
strong-minded , ready to take calculated
risks in business , but for which , he
could not have reached where he is now.
He believes in planning and extends
all-out support to his staff who are
all, in retailing, his ambassadors of
good will ! He has definitely earned a
good reputation in Kuwait market and
that forms a base for his astounding
suceess in his ongoing business.
Mrs. Saroj Navin
supports all his business ventures by
shear encouragement and Navins are
blessed with a son Jigar doing his 12
th Std in Don Bosco school.
His rice factory
“Madhuram Industries” in India is
running successfully too and he
imports food items for his Hyper
Markets from all over world.
He ,again, honestly
believes that , with sustained growth
,he must give back to his staff and
society from what he gets !!
His another
ambitious project is to start the
biggest Hyper Market in Kuwait and he is
already putting his foot on this.
Let us wish his dream come true as
always in his case !!
