We always spend so much of time, energy, efforts and money in choosing the right clothes but in the end get stuck up with either the fit or the styling. If someone prefers to go for tailor made clothes, They always fear of loosing the event as tailor services are not always readily available everywhere and is also time consuming.

Thomas Ford (Tomford), Raghvendra Rathore and Saif Ali Khan
Q15- What do you feel is the major difference between entrepreneurs and those who work for someone else?
An entrepreneur would give in his all to the business. No working hours, no off on weekends whereas on the other hand a person working for someone else would constantly keep a check on his watch and wont even take calls on weekends.
Q16- If you had a chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?
