Dhiraj Jain is the proprietor of Trendz Collections, a fashion store in Udaipur.
Dhiraj was born and brought up in Kheroda, a small village near Udaipur. He has many fond memories of growing up in a rural environment. He completed his education at a government school in his village and then did his 11th and 12th at Bhinder. He eventually shifted to Udaipur and did a BCom from UCCMS, Udaipur, and also completed an MBA in Sales and Marketing from NIS Academy, Udaipur.
After completing his MBA, Dhiraj got placed at HDFC Bank and worked there for a year before making the decision that he wanted to have his own business in Udaipur. He went to Surat and started working with his cousin in his cousin’s textile shop to gain some experience.
Eventually, with the support of his cousin and well-wishers, Dhiraj started his own clothing wholesale shop. He faced a lot of struggle initially, as his wholesale shop was not doing very well. He went to clothing stores personally to earn the goodwill of the trading community and establish contacts. He is very grateful to his family, who supported him in his toughest times. Eventually, his business stabilized, and today he supplies many clients.
After that, Dhiraj also started a retail fashion store named Trendz Collection, featuring the latest in clothing designs from authentic sources. His friend from Surat helped him with this business venture. As sales increased, he got motivated. He emphasizes that one should follow the trends, as it leads to attracting more customers.
During COVID 19, Dhiraj had a setback. As weddings and other events were cancelled, his stocks accumulated. His sales decreased drastically due to the lockdown. Many raw materials got wasted, and he had to face inventory losses. He had to face many financial problems during the lockdown. He maintained his workforce despite the lockdown.
Dhiraj shares that he is involved in social work as a member of several Jain organizations. He regularly organizes blood donation camps and other welfare camps. By working for society, he feels very positive, and he believes that giving to the underprivileged sections of society is the highest humanitarian act. He wants the youth of the nation to work in social service instead of going down the wrong path.
According to him, leadership qualities evolve with time.
In his free time, Dhiraj loves to spend time with his family. He also likes to travel.
