IAAPI today hosted a power-packed Leadership Session in Mumbai, led by Mr. B.S. Nagesh, Founder Chairman of Shoppers Stop—an institution that rewrote India’s retail playbook. In a candid and compelling narrative, Mr. Nagesh traced his entrepreneurial journey, sharing how bold vision, disciplined execution, and unwavering values transformed an idea into a national brand. His message was clear: dream audaciously, but build patiently.
Delving deeper, he emphasized that brands are built from the inside out. Values aren’t slogans; they’re behaviors. Culture isn’t declared; it’s practiced. Mr. Nagesh spotlighted employee-centric leadership as the ultimate growth lever—where inspiring every team member to think and act like an owner naturally creates accountability, pride, and a shared purpose. That’s the secret sauce behind enduring companies and legendary brands.
The interactive session saw participation from over 50 IAAPI members and was widely hailed as motivating, captivating, and inspirational. The event was attended by the Chairman, 1st and 2nd Vice Chairmen, Board Members, and Founder Members of IAAPI—underscoring the Association’s commitment to leadership development and future-ready thinking for the amusement and attractions industry.
