Launched in 2012, Gilda Enterprises has undergone a meteoric rise to become a major player with exclusive distribution rights in many regions for big name brands, including Sony, Panasonic, Canon, Toshiba, Samsung and Philips. From modest roots as a small consumer electronics company, it has exploded into a large conglomerate boasting a turnover of $240m in 2016-17 with offices across USA, Hong Kong, India, Turkey, Poland and several countries in Africa. Whilst operating at the higher echelons of the company, strategically planning its expansion and roadmap, Mr Sharma relishes the chance to be a hands-on manager, selecting, training and supporting multinational staff, recruiting the best and raising their skillsets still higher. The workforce understands and applies the embedded best practice and streamlined processes, which places this company at the forefront of how organisations should operate. Maintaining relationships with key stakeholders is an immense task that Mr Sharma manages with panache, possessing a talent for instigating and maintaining international partnerships with top-tier global companies and financial institutions. Maintaining a weather-eye on market analysis, identifying key trends, new products and competitor activity, it is assured that Gilda will always take a pre-emptive stance on its development rather than only reactive. HIGHLIGHTS Promotes philanthropy and ethical approaches in supporting innovative ideas from young entrepreneurs, sourcing funding and developing business models based upon proven successful methods, to advance their enterprises and minimise the risks of failure to establish profitable and sustainable businesses. Successfully fosters a team culture of mutual respect transcending borders across all company bases, openly demonstrating that every member is valued from the bottom up, to create a motivated and happy workforce.
