Abstract

He converted his passion for plants into a business venture. Like any army man, he stuck to the disciplines of business and till today runs nursery in a professional manner, applying various concepts of management. His varied range of products, services and activities certainly distinguishes him from many conventional nurserymen not only in Ludhiana city but in the country as well.
