He has great love and respect for everyone in the company and treats every member as a part of his own family.
To make them feel like a part of the family, he talks to every member personally and asks them about their family issues, financial and personal issues, health issues, and also about their family vacations and outing plans. He is also considerate about giving extra holiday or early leave for the day if required so that the employees feel well treated. His team members also value his efforts and contributions and treat him with equal love and respect. “They love me so much which make them call me as ‘Brother Mubin’ instead of Sir or Boss”, adds Mohammed.

However, he constantly works with his team to introduce innovative products and services as per the latest market trends. His ideology of entrepreneurship, “Take the Challenges and Win it with a Smile,” makes him a unique and inspiring entrepreneur.
The Stepping Stone
Mohammed believes that leadership is one of the most important skills and character that should be possessed by every entrepreneur to grow and become successful. A great leader is able to handle his team much more efficiently. He also believes that an efficient leader spearheads the team and helps them grow by avoiding or solving all their problems/issues. Since a leader has experience in different scenarios and problems related to the business environment, it makes them more efficient in solving complex scenarios.
Mohammed further believes that a leader always guides his team to the correct path leading to success and ensures that they do not fail. A good leader must have a proper understanding of team psychology to strengthen his team and provide proper support. Another major role of a leader, as per Mohammed, is to choose future leaders among the team and prepare them to lead the future for success, and to have a better life in the professional as well as on the personal front.
