India is the second-largest exporter of nd leather garments, and 2 largest producer and consumer of footwear in the world. Known for its consistency, the leather industry has always been blessed with proactive and resilient leadership that has elevated the industry globally. Early Inspirations Right from his formative years, Dr. Mohammed nurtured his passion for the leather business. He worked in various levels of the industry observing the stages from the inside out. He closely studied the stages of sourcing, procuring, designing, processing, manufacturing, trading, etc. While working in the industry, he identified the structure and several loopholes that existed in this man-driven industry.

During a national event, one of the clients appreciated his innovation and ability to customize products as per the customer requirements and budgets, comparing his products with global brands. This was a great pat on the back for his efforts were getting noticed, recognized and appreciated as well. In a smart next move, Dr. Mohammed formed his own quality perspective and trained his employees to observe each product with every point. Whoever identifies the error or variation should bring it to the notice of the section head and get it rectified in all the products. Everyone was informed about the job orders, read the details and implemented them in the work process. For the convenience of understanding, Dr. Mohammed made the job cards in English and Hindi languages. The process flow once set was followed by everyone in a predetermined sequence. The Saga of Reliability During the early years of his business, Dr. Mohammed created an organized structure with individual departments focusing on specific tasks and responsibilities. By adopting standard production practices with high importance to quality and finishing, the team reworked to improve the final products for smoothness, fineness, polishing, and feel of the products. Complete and strict adherence to quality helped in enhancing the product's utility, style and durability. Steadily the brand became known for lasting leather products with good design patterns.

Dr. Mohammed along with his team members brainstormed on the differences observed and started the process of improvement in every aspect. Slowly and steadily the process started being followed evenly with the uniformity in each stage properly set in. It is all reflected in the feedback from the customers both current and new.

He slowly began working out with them parallelly with them. This was a necessary backup he created for his business operations. In certain testing situations, he got certain orders executed through them by personally instructing the workers and supervising them towards flawless completion. Harnessing Resilience In his journey to success, several occasions brought forward tricky and puzzling situations where multiple orders of different types of products came in around the same time frame. Dr Mohammed smartly timed the orders in the Job card with numbers, dates and times. He gave quick instructions to the team members to organize the resources and get on with the daily tasks. The micro-management internally with the team members on one end and handling the customer expectations on the other made his run from pillar to post. While maintaining a rule of treating and valuing every order with ‘high importance,’ Dr. Mohammed began managing and assigning the Job orders to different groups including his own teams towards efficient and effective production.
