🚀 From Delhi to Dubai: Reinventing Retail, One Brick at a Time Here’s a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter of my life: launching India’s first “One Stop Shop” for building materials with the Dalmia Bharat Group. 🎯 We built Hippo Homes from the ground up. 🛠️ We listened, adapted, innovated. 🧱 We served thousands of professionals & homeowners. 🌏 And we redefined retail in a market where tradition rules. Leading this mission across Mayapuri and Noida taught me more than any textbook ever could—about people, culture, agility… and the power of doing things differently. Now, as a DBA researcher at École des Ponts Business School, I explore how AI transforms customer satisfaction in retail, drawing on every lesson from the field. 📸 The images say it all: hands-on leadership, customer-centric innovation, and the unmatched energy of India’s retail transformation. 💡 Special thanks to all those who continue to support this journey—your encouragement means the world. 🌍 And yes… the future of retail is smart, sustainable, and already here. Just look at the inspiring Smart Home initiative by ACE Al-Futtaim. https://lnkd.in/gvMW8xRC 🌐 Want to connect or explore future opportunities?
