He takes us through his entrepreneurial journey: the initial years, the challenges, how he overcame them, marketing the brand in India and abroad, people who supported and inspired him along the way, the lessons he learned and his message to would-be entrepreneurs. In his own words.
“Thank you for the opportunity to share my journey. Founding Elite Elevators has been a rewarding yet challenging experience that has shaped me as a leader and an individual. When we began, the concept of home elevators in India was relatively niche. People associated elevators with commercial or multi-storey apartments, and the idea of residential lifts was seen as either extravagant or unnecessary. Our mission was to change that perception and bring a solution that was both practical and luxurious, catering to the evolving needs of Indian homes.
Today, Elite Elevators is currently one of the largest home elevator companies in the world with over 2000 employees across 14 countries. It is providing homeowners highly efficient in-home mobility solutions that enhance their luxury home living experiences. Our range of Indian-made home lift solutions are both domestically and internationally popular amongst homeowners who want a luxurious lifestyle.
My journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, colleagues, and early adopters of our products. My family provided the emotional foundation I needed to take risks and persevere. My team shared my vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life.
As for inspiration, I’ve always looked up to entrepreneurs who dared to think differently—individuals like Elon Musk, who continually push boundaries and redefine industries. These examples remind me that every great idea starts with the courage to believe in it.
To those dreaming of starting their own ventures, I would say, dare to dream big but be prepared to work even harder. The road is filled with obstacles, but every challenge is an opportunity to grow and learn. Stay true to your values, keep your customers at the heart of your decisions, and never stop innovating. Most importantly, remember that success is not just about achieving milestones but about creating something meaningful that adds value to people’s lives. Entrepreneurship is a journey of discovery—not just of your business potential but also of yourself. Embrace it fully, and the rewards will follow.”
