Mumbai: Mandar Gaonkar, assistant general manager, at an international textile sourcing, marketing and garment buying house, Texperts, started his journey more than a decade ago in the retail industry after completing his MBA. A mechanical engineer, Gaonkar’s stint in retail began with an online grocery start-up in Mumbai in 2012. Later, the startup was acquired by another online start-up and eventually merged with Nature’s Basket to create a digital retail experience for gourmet food delivery.

Gaonkar speaks about his passion for retail…

I enjoy being in Retail because: It is a space which offers challenges and at the same time gives us a chance to directly impact customers. It is ever-growing in terms of technology, products, and personalized experiences.

The biggest professional challenge I face is: Getting the right product at the right price to delight the customer and create a win-win situation.

To achieve full potential, Indian retailers must: Consistently innovate and continuously improve their products and make them as sustainable as they can be. Technology will also play a major role in the coming years with AI and AR being the top contributors to growth and brand building.

My key professional accomplishments are: Realizing the potential of e-commerce as a sales channel and driving sales through our own brand D2C websites.

This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. 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...
