Sandeep Pillai
Not everyday you get to work besides a colleague from the Operations team who has a flair of all support functions, be it New Store Opening, the EPC, Human Resources Operations, Finance, Back office support etc. Ashish is an expert in his domain of luxury and fashion retailing. A perfect blend of energy and focus, I've seen Ashish turning the most problematic stores into the highest performing ones and the Store loss zero down under his leadership. His team inherited the company values from him to a level that the NPS scores of the region started hitting the top of all the presentation slides. Ashish is a perfect hire for any brand operations which focuses on excellent customer service and brand equity. I wish Ashish, all the very best!
