He shared his story and spoke about his 40 years of professional journey and also gave many useful tips to the professionals. Kusumgar said that, “I had planned to become a Chartered Accountant. So I went to Mumbai for education, but in 1995, during the days of my final exam, my father suffered a heart attack and I had to return. This incident became the turning point of my life. We had an ancestral business of selling bicycles. I had worked as a distributor of Hero Motocorp for two years. After returning to Nagpur, I had to focus on business. Then I started gaining more and more interest in the business and learnt my many lessons,” he said.

 

He further said that, “every business has a certain arena. Difficulties began to arise when the business of selling ‘Hero-puck’ had started. Vehicles were sold with the help of a finance company. Although the experience was not good, the idea of starting a finance company came from this experience only. I started different businesses including a hospital. Always be careful that starting a new business does not disturb the existing work,” he added. Vidarbha Management Association is a Nagpur-based organization which meets every Sunday at 10:30 AM. It is dedicated to impart learnings related to Management and Leadership Skills to its Members. VMA is a non-profit organisation and is currently in its 19th year of operation.
