The event is chaired by Shailesh Chaturvedi, chief executive officer of Aravind Fashions Ltd, and powered by GreenHonchos.

“The event will cut through topline naivete and focus on real metrics that matter including building operational capabilities for consistent high-quality execution, creating wealth through profitability and focus on return on capital employed. Creation and retention of talent will be key for nurturing this DNA to profitability,” said Chaturvedi earlier said while setting the tone of the two-day event in Bengaluru.

“Entire brand is deep-rooted in consumers,” said Iyer. “We focus on a single decision and once a decision is made, eventhough the idea is too soon in the industry, we stick to it, believe in it, and make it applicable to all brands inside the company ”

While speaking about the company’s business journey Mehta said: “Our core belief is that sanity is more important than vanity and our company is about ground point and power point,” The brand has always managed to concentrate deeply on each brand and keep a balance between the balance sheet and cash flow, he said.

Lifestyle International has successfully managed to maintain employee growth within the organization, with several moving up the ranks from a customer service representative to holding management roles in the company. “Employees are our owners,” Mehta said. Providing better work-life balance, a wider array of benefits, and ensuring the safety of every employee are fundamental touchpoints for the company.

“The brand follows a grounded process, neither glamorous nor flamboyant” replied Iyer to a comment by Jaju regarding the boring long-term strategy of the company.

“We focus on the middle and matrix, rather than the top and bottom of the retail industry,” added Mehta. Instead of running behind trends, the company centralizes on long-term goals. “Your vendors are exclusive to you. Founder of Landmark Group, the parent organization of Lifestyle International said 4 decades ago to make sure we give our employees, value, freedom, and accountability. Thus we are a dead-free company, and all vendors are taken care of and paid on time.”

Landmark Group’s success secret is its unity. “The DNA of the organization is product development. Not only buyers and other supply chain members, everyone at the company is involved in it including board members,” added Iyer.

The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
