● I belong to Phagwara and it is the hub of small scale industry.
● There are many spare part industries run by families.
● My friend Aman’s father runs an industry by the name of Akal Industries.
● I can say that it is a successful business because I have seen it grow to great heights in the past few years.
● His father, Jatinder Singh and his uncle, Parminder Singh are partners in this business.
● One brother looks after the sales and the other looks after the manufacturing section.
● Four years ago Aman’s cousin, Inderpal joined them and now Aman is planning to join them after completing his course in Business Management.
● This business was started by Aman’s grandfather with a handful of workers about
50 years ago but now they have 300 people working for them round the clock .
● They manufacture and supply auto spare parts to various countries like Germany, France, US and Canada.
● They have a very good rapport with their workers and whenever they fulfil big orders, they give bonus to them.
● Aman tells me that his mother and aunt look after the needs of the workers’ families from time to time.
● They make them feel part of their family and that is why they have never faced shortage of labour.
● Aman tells me that if any worker is absent or not well, his father takes his place and does not let the work suffer.
● They also give a lot of emphasis on quality and that is why their products are in great demand in Germany and France.
● Although Aman’s family is very rich, they are very humble and magnanimous.
● His father keeps donating for charity on special occasions.
● So, this is the successful family business that I know of.
