About Sanjay Tiwari

With over 3 decades of comprehensive experience in the Eyecare industry, I am deeply passionate about helping people see better, look better, and live better. My journey spans across sunglasses, frames, contact lenses, contact lens solutions, prescription lenses, LASIK centers, and optical retail. I bring a 360-degree perspective to the business, blending deep industry knowledge with practical, hands-on leadership.I have an informal, execution-driven leadership style, with a strong focus on building high-performing teams and inspiring individuals to reach their fullest potential. Creating, nurturing, and scaling businesses from the ground up excites me, and I thrive in startup environments that require innovation, bold moves, and a shared passion for success.Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to turn visions into reality:Part of the team at Shopper\'s Stop, Bangalore that set a world record for selling the maximum number of Ray-Ban sunglasses (141 units) from a single store in one day (May 24, 1998).Successfully contributed to startup journeys at Bausch & Lomb and Reliance Vision Express, gaining rich and energizing experience in building businesses from scratch.I am a firm believer in the \"Employee First\" philosophy—engaged and inspired teams create magic together. I also hold the conviction that only great human beings can become truly great leaders.Guiding Philosophy:\"Some people see things as they are and ask why; a few dream of things that never were and ask why not.\"\"If you can dream it, you can do it.\"\"Impossible only means that you haven’t found the solution yet.\"I firmly believe that MY BEST is yet to come.
