A famous quote says, “Listen to everyone’s advice, but follow your own heart”. For Amal Gandhi, director of “Gandhi Corporation”, this is the paradigm of a successful man and he has shaped his career on the same ideology. The courage to follow his instincts, amalgamated with a passion to do something differently has made him a WINNER in his field. Amal , was constantly driven to put his forte into constructive use for his own company. And that is how, Gandhi Corporation, a family business of being specialists in event management, has progressed by leaps and bounds after Amal joined the company .
He was actively involved in the general body council of CEPT, from where he finished his B.Tech in Construction Technology.
He played pivotal role in organizing various events at CEPT. It was the success of one such concert that he had conceptualized from start to end that he realized that Event management is what he is destined to do. The concert was well received by one and all and it instilled great confidence in him. After the success of this concert he decided that he will join Gandhi Corporation, his family business of Event Management and make sure it achieves great levels of success. But Hemubhai made sure that Amal finished his post graduation before he joined the family business for full time. Amal finished his MBA from Nirma University to make his technical education more sound in terms of management skills and acumen.
But it was not a bed of roses for Amal when he joined the family business. He had his own share of setbacks and failures but he was not the one to be defeated. He took the failures and bad experiences in his stride and learnt some important lessons early in his career. With his fresh ideas and Hemubhai's experience, he conquered those obstacles and gradually he has become a more confident person.
'Vacation' exhibition is the most popular brand in the stable of Gandhi Events. It had been a runaway success for almost 2 decades. In 2009, Amal decided to bring in a change in the successful format of the exhibition. It was a big gamble but he took the risk. He introduced his consumers and exhibitors in global market through the Vacation Platform which brought them fame, money and recognition on an international level. It was a win-win situation for both of them and it was a big hit. It took the exhibition to another level and made it a benchmark in Amal's career growth.
The ‘Swarnim Gujarat ‘ project that Gandhi Corporation bagged in 2011 has been the game changer event both for him personally as well as the company. It was the 1st prestigious national level event with which he was associated with as a part of Gandhi Corporation. Right from conceptualizing the structure design, making presentation, bagging the project to the final implementation, all the work was designed and handled by him. The front façade of the structural dome was a very complicated design which was successfully implemented by him. The whole project was implemented from finish to start in just 15 days, which in normal circumstances would have taken at least 25 days. And from that event onwards, there has been no looking back for Amal.
“Serving the CUSTOMERS ETHICALLY” is the motto that Gandhi Corporation has been following for years now and that is also his Personal motto. Hemubhai has always guided him not to strive for money, but in fact strive to achieve customer satisfaction. And combined with that, a strong sense of determination and the willingness to be ethical in what you do is the recipe for becoming a successful entrepreneur.
Whether it pertains to his personal life, his education, his work or his business, he has always had the desire to be the best in whatever he does. By God’s grace, his hard work and determination he has been able to fulfill this desire of his in whatever he has done till now.
As far as his future goals, he wants to see Gujarat as an exhibition hub for various industries, and they are in the process of building it up the same way, with few other national and international giants.
