MR. SHASHIKANT TREVADIA
JULIET APPARELS LTD.
Mr ShashikantTrevadia was born in the sleepy hamlet of Venesar, Gujarat. A small town boy, he always carried in his heart, a big city dream. One of making it as a reputed businessman in Mumbai. Like the millions who leave home for the promise of a brighter tomorrow, he too packed his bags and boarded a train for the city of dreams. He had only Rs. 5000 in his pocket, but a tremendous amount passion and courage in tow. And those were the qualities that drove him to make Juliet the brand that it is today.
From the humble beginnings of just a 100 sq. ft. room with just 2 sewing machines, he built the company up into a brand that retails lingerie and apparels to countries around the world.
Throughout his career, Mr Trevadias always had a philanthropic approach to life. He believes in bettering not just the lives of the people around him but the community as a whole. He has a strong belief in women empowerment and is always setting an example for people around him, through his generous and noble deeds.
