With his professional attitude and commitment to deliver, industrialist Farhan Azmi believes it is time to quit talking and begin doing.
From real estate to education and staffing to fisheries, Farhan Azmi has made a name for himself across diverse fields. His professional attitude has gained him the reputation of being ‘Mr Commitment’ and getting the job done on time.
The winner of the Times Power Men Awards held last week, Azmi has also been featured as a ‘Young Entrepreneur’ by CNBC, has been a part of the cover story by The Week, Silicon India and Business World magazines, and been showcased in The Times of India as a ‘Young Achiever.’ His mantra for a successful life, Azmi says, is understanding that success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. And the only way to get on that road to success is to quit talking and begin doing.
As the founding partner of Futurz and serving as the company’s executive chairman and managing director, Azmi is most actively involved in his staffing business. A pioneer in the staffing industry, Futurz started as an idea during the trying recession in 2008.
