Great post, Nagesh! What's particularly inspiring about these success stories is how they showcase retail as a true meritocracy. The journey from associate to CEO isn't just about career progression - it's about developing a comprehensive understanding of consumer behavior, operations, and business strategy from the ground up. These leaders succeeded because retail offers unique advantages: 1. Direct consumer insights that can't be taught in classrooms 2. Real-time business decision making experience 3. Opportunity to develop both operational and strategic skills 4. Exposure to every aspect of business - from supply chain to customer service The beauty of retail is that it rewards those who truly understand the intersection of people, products, and business. As you said, these stories should inspire young talent to see retail not just as a job, but as a launching pad for impactful business careers.

One of the most memorable interactions I’ve had in recent times was with Jitin Prasada Sir, our Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry in India. We talked about life after our MBAs and the career choices we’ve made along the way. The biggest takeaway from my conversation with him was that 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. Unless you’re skilled at executing and have an action-oriented mindset, talking about big ideas won’t take you anywhere. Relating this to the startup world, Byju’s and Zomato began around the same time (2008-11). Byju’s mission statement was to “𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘥𝘦.” Zomato’s mission was simple: “𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.” One company focused on an impressive, ambitious vision, while the other centred on execution—and the difference is evident today.
