Q. What is your name, and please tell me your personal journey. What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?
A. My name is Dr. Rubjeet Singh Grover. My personal journey has been deeply influenced by my father, who always encouraged me to strive for excellence. After my father’s demise, my mother, brother, wife, kids, and other family members have been my pillars of support and motivation. I have always dreamed big and, coming from a business background, I never faced significant struggles in life. However, I am a determined person who never looks back once I decide to pursue something new. I made a significant decision to elevate my business, and success has consistently followed.
Q. What were some of the biggest challenges you faced when starting your business, and how did you overcome them?
A. Starting Amritsar Haveli came with its own set of struggles. I always say, “Life is a struggle,” and when one has a deep desire for something, it transforms into a dream; fulfilling that dream is one’s struggle. The competition in the ever-growing market was intense. However, my family’s support helped me reach great heights. The journey to success was not easy; achieving goals requires taking risks. For me, the risk was not financial but maintaining my family’s reputation. After numerous sleepless nights and introspecting my strengths while planning new strategies, I finally achieved my goals.
Q. What key market trends do you think will shape your industry in the coming years?
A. The key market trends that will shape our industry include:
Online Ordering and Delivery: Expanding online ordering platforms and delivery services to reach a broader customer base and offer convenience.
Smart Kitchens: Adopting technology in kitchens to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and maintain consistency in food quality.
Q. Can you share a story of how your product or service has significantly impacted a customer or client?
A. We have always focused on providing the best quality food and hospitality to our customers. Our team works tirelessly to ensure customer satisfaction. As a result, “Amritsar Haveli” has become a well-known brand for its exceptional food and hospitality throughout India and globally. Within a few years, we were awarded the Best and Fastest Growing Restaurant Chain in India, which means a lot to us.
Q. What are your personal and professional goals for the future?
A.
Personal Goal: My personal goal is to make Amritsar Haveli the world’s biggest North Indian food brand through franchising and to increase revenues by serving the best quality and hygienic food to Punjabi food lovers worldwide.
Professional Goal: To open 1,000 restaurants around the globe by 2030.
Q. What motivated you to start your current business, and how did the idea originate?
A. My motivation comes from my father, Late Shri Harinder Pal Singh, who is my strongest inspiration and role model. He gave me the greatest gift anyone could give: he believed in me. My father’s belief in me inspires me to work harder to achieve my life goals.
Q. Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers that we haven’t covered?
