Fourth Press Release
Hey you enterprising guys n gals! You want a peek at an exciting business opportunity arising out of love? Love and passion for animals, that is.
Meet Preeti and Sanjeev, a young upwardly mobile professional couple. Till recently that is before they turned entrepreneurs, dealing with something they love – pets and pet care. Sanjeev was banker with private sector HDFC Bank and Preeti a decently paid public school teacher.
Their despair in failing to find a pet grooming centre, was the starting point in germination of a business venture. Rs four lakhs of investment, and a professional training course in Thailand later, the duo jumped into, what their friends and well-whishers thought was a foolish proposition.
Today, of course, their Neeti Bagh Pet grooming centre that goes by the name – Scrooby Scrub – boasts of a VIP client list that is only getting bigger and bigger.
Says a satisfied Preeti, "Today we have clients like the well-known politician Ram Villas Paswan, industrialist and business houses like Sri Ram and Jindal group who send their pets regularly for grooming. The list of cliental is getting bigger and bigger day by day. People are getting aware of our shop and taking a keen interest also. "But what all comes under pet grooming? Answers Preeti, "All that we get in a beauty parlours. Pet grooming shop is almost a beauty parlour but for pets only specially cats and dogs because only these two pet animals need grooming. Lot of people think that only hair cutting is pet grooming but it's not just that. Hair styling, massage and a lot other things come under pet grooming.
On business, Sanjeev would not let out trade secrets but only would offer "It's a good business."
Says Preeti, "Everybody can't open and pet grooming shop. You have to have sympathy, love and care in you heart for pets."
Meet another successful businessman from Mumbai who runs a profitable business venture out of pedigreed pets and owns a chain of shops under the brand name Pets, Pets and Pets. Pritesh Desai calls himself a manager of the chain of pet shops.
He is enthusiastic about pet food industry, now its infancy in India but has the potential to become one. Awareness is increasing, people are getting more and more interested in pets and pet care products. Competition is also coming in, which is a good sign.
Pets does not mean only dogs and cats. Meet Abhik Mazumdar, a trained lawyer from NLSIU Bangalore, left active practice to work with his passion – fishes.
He successfully converted his childhood passion and hobby into a successful commercial venture.
