I hired 80 people before making a single sale: Businessman Prasad

When launching Kalamandir in Hyderabad, Prasad Chalavadi insisted on a formal corporate structure from day one. He hired 50 front-end staff and 30 back-end professionals for MIS and marketing before the doors even opened. While peers mocked his high overheads, this system-driven approach allowed the brand to scale 165 times over the next two decades.
