APRIL 2018 COSMOPOLITAN 99Suchita Jain
Joint Managing Director, Vardhaman Textiles
“I am currently shadowing the chairman and my
duty is to conduct monthly group reviews, services
and corporate reviews, which covers finance,
accounts, HRD, IT, commercial taxation etc. I am
also involved with all the new projects that are
undertaken by the group.”
MY TIP
“Unlike what people say...don’t try to be a perfectionist.
Put in your best and leave the rest to take its course.
You cannot control everything and the more you try
to, the more stressed you’ll become, and it’ll show in
everything you do. I am a very goal-oriented person,
and at the start of each year, I make a list of objectives
and enter them into my phone—I cover all my short-
term and long-term goals. This helps keep me on
track, as well as focus and prioritise on the immediate
tasks. There will be days when everything is falling
apart, and suddenly you’ll be faced with business
and personal issues. But you have to accept these
challenges as a part of life and remain calm, maintain
a balance and keep multi-tasking.”
Dildeep Kalra
Director, Massive Restaurants Pvt Ltd.,
and Founder, Style Horn
Massive Restaurants operates under four critically
acclaimed, fine-dining restaurants—Masala Library,
Made In Punjab, Farzi Café and Pa Pa Ya. Dildeep is
the go-to girl for audits, catering hygiene, and everything
from HR to marketing, and also branch conceptualisation
for upcoming ventures. “I’m also in the middle of
launching my own app called Style Horn, which is about
liking or disliking, and allows people to give you honest
feedback about your pictures. You can also become a
home seller on the app, without any external charge.”MY TIP
“As a rule, I plan the next day before I go to bed, and I
document all upcoming tasks on my phone. This helps
tackle any time management woes because I know
exactly what I’m supposed to do, and when. Also, my
main advice—do not procrastinate. Being at Massive,
my husband and I believe in doing things now, not just
today. We have become so attuned to doing things
rightaway, that tomorrow just isn’t an option.”
