"From Fashion to Passion" is a mini-interview series with passionate entrepreneurs from India. The first interview in the series is with Mr Gautam Macker, Co-Founder, The Homemakers

The Back Story

The Homemakers had a humble beginning in 1998, with a 3000 sq ft showroom in Delhi. The company was amongst the first few in India to enter into the Modular Kitchen Segment. Started by Neeti and Gautam Macker, both highly qualified professionals, the company began with the import of Itallian Accessories.

The Homemakers, gradually created its own manufacturing facility in Rajasthan with the latest technology from Italy. The company has created a niche for itself and prefers to do only quality work. From Kitchens, Wardrobes, Beds and other household furniture to doing up complete interiors of home and work place, the company constantly strives to blend quality with thoughtful design leading to products that are aesthetically appealing and extremely useful. Today, the company can boast of an elite client list which makes its founders proud.

So here goes the interview:-

Dr Amit-What aspect of your business, are you passionate about? 
Gautam-I love seeing the smile on my customers' face when their kitchen is completed.
I always make sure that the kitchen equipment is delivered well in time, the quality is excellent and it is installed as per the drawings provided.

Dr Amit-You had an MBA from the reputed Fore School of Management, Delhi. What job/opportunity did you leave to follow your passion? 
Gautam-I could have opted for a cushioned job with any MNC but I wanted to start something on my own and build a powerful brand.

Dr Amit- What has been your biggest achievement till date?
Gautam-We bagged the Prestigious Commonwealth Games Village order and delivered it well on time. In fact, timely delivery is one of our key priorities for every customer, big or small.

Dr Amit-Anything else, which you would like to share with our readers.

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships.

People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
