BV: Tell us about your journey from delivering newspapers to being a fashion producer.
Sid: I had a hunger for work. I did everything possible which could feed me, so I started going to newspaper distribution at the age of 12 and ended up in the fashion industry now.
I was working as an office boy and tried to apply for a job at a department store but was rejected as I was underage. After some time, I managed to secure a job at a store at Mantri Square mall where I befriended the mall manager who introduced me to the events company which handled all events at the mall. As luck had it, I managed to get them to hire me and that job went on to become my training ground for the production house I eventually went on to establish.
After having worked for four years at the event management company, I was itching to branch out on my own and with my family’s support and belief in my capabilities, I took the plunge and started my own production house “Sid Productions”. The production house now has an impressive list of clientele including brands like Lifestyle, Future Group, Zivame, etc. in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Delhi.
