She is a woman in harmony with herself. When you talk to her, you get the feeling you are talking to a woman who has found herself, not in the sense of not going any further but in the sense of being sure about what she wants to do. It is this poise, this sense of being comfortable with herself that has seen her play many roles with ease. Perhaps she feels no compulsive need to prove anything to anyone, but demonstrate what can be achieved by commitment and willingness to work with others.

It is almost as if she is perfectly happy being a medium through which others can accomplish what they seek, all resulting in a greater good.

My father taught me from childhood that today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today. I work on that principle. We can not change destiny but making your life cheerful is in our own hands,” states Dilip Parekh, Director, Vishal Information Technologies Ltd (VITL), philosophically. His parents, father Chandulal, who was the franchisee of Gold Spot and later Shringar Kumkum, and mother Ramalakshmi had a great influence on his life, encouraging him in everything he did. Parekh is deeply grateful to the role his parents have played in his life and has recently erected a magnificent temple in his mother’s name in the picturesque town of Madangadh.

Born in Doraji near Rajkot, Parekh did his BSc in Mumbai and then went on to acquire an LLB degree. He has three decades of business experience in various fields of trading, the manufacturing of dyes and chemicals and the marketing of yarn, computer hardware, textiles, diamonds and even financial services. As a Director of VITL he handles the business administration and finance of the company. What makes VITL so successful is its product and service mix? In 2008, 33 out of 37 companies that went in for an IPO did not deliver; but VITL in six months helped investors double their money from Rs 150 to Rs 301.35.
