The 10 -year experience in the food and beverage industry has helped Anchit Kapil, considering that he destroys a new ground. By interacting with hundreds of customers every day, I understood what they wanted, thinking processes, and decision making.
With insights, Capil and his co -founder decided to use love for sneakers. It began as an experiment to check the interest of the limited edition sneakers. This response revealed that there is something important for them to work.
“The scene was very early in India, but there were articles, documentary, and conversations around sneakers, but some were procured, but the operation was not efficient. Kapil, a co -founder and CEO of CREPDOG CREW (CDC).
As part of the market research, they started a pilot project on Instagram in 2019. Surprisingly, I created monthly sales £20-25 easy. Sneakers were found to be the perfect entrance to the world of gorgeous collections, but it was clear that their focus was to focus on quality and premium prices, not volume. After receiving an overwhelming response through the website, they launched the first offline store in 2022.

It is a small stock and higher stock. It was a completely different ball game, but we immediately noticed that the CDC was not just a business. He said a hub. “

Who do you think of your mentor?
I think the people around us will act consciously and sometimes unconsciously as a mentor. Therefore, it is important to be surrounded by people who stimulate and challenge you to grow. Among those who have a deep influence on me, the three are standing out -Rears Amrani, Agalwal, and Harmender Sahai.
One big insight working on mentor guidance?
I learned a lot just by observing the mentor. RIYAAZ has an unparalleled way of thinking and the clarity of thinking. He helped me to understand retail at the granular level. Abhishek has helped to understand both the complexity of business growth. He taught me how to look at my business through a strategic lens in the process of expansion. Hameder, one of my investors, has been working hard to guide me. Before I met him, I didn’t know the basics of funding. He gave me the nuances of the process and helped me to form a business strategy.
What does a mentor mean to you? How do you teach your colleagues at work?
Being a mentor is about open communication and honesty. I believe that I will have a frank conversation with my team and to support them and think independently as needed. I make the key to sharing ideas safely, learning from their mistakes, and creating an environment to grow. It is to build trust and promote continuous improvement culture.
How about the morning schedule?
Start the day with yoga and coffee. But I believe that the productive morning starts the night before. Before going to bed every night, the next day is planned with great care, so it is seamless in the morning. My plan and market research are classified, so I jump straight into my work after yoga and coffee routines.
What is the principle of productivity that makes your specialty and private life much easier?
Efficiency is important. I use the AI tool effectively, and I am planning a day by greatly dependent on Google Meet and Google Calendar. By scheduling the day strategically, the travel is minimized. On the day of the meeting, I dedicate to the meeting all day. If I have resigned, I will do all the schedule at once.
What is the routine of the positive work developed during pandemic?
One of the positive routines is to rationalize global collaboration. After Cobid, we accepted the possibility of cooperating with collaborators and consultants around the world, and made the distance from being involved. Google Meet contributes to this change. This is a game changer, eliminating unnecessary scheduling delays and travel time while enabling quick and efficient virtual meetings. The approach is simple but effective -jump to the call, address the key point, and move forward seamlessly. It really improved my productivity and made the collaboration more dynamic.
Is there a book or podcast to recommend for mentorship and growth?
I think mentorship is a very personal trip. Who’s situation, assignments, and paths are different. Books and podcasts do not provide solutions that are perfect for all sizes, but can be equipped by exploring various topics. Instead of recommending a specific podcast or book, it is recommended to find someone related to your journey.
How do you relax? Do you pursue a serious hobby?
Return is to balance happiness and creativity. I’m looking at Samai Reina comedy, but I love India lurking. That is my request for my charging. It brings aggressiveness to my life. This is essential for making creative decisions in the workplace. I also love playing the piano when it takes time.
