I now look forward to taking up new challenges that will expand my entrepreneurial horizons. As a co-founder, I will continue to remain strategically involved with the company post my transition from the CEO's role. Smile group provided an effective incubation platform and a healthy eco-system, which helped me in developing fashionandyou.com as a leading player in the fashion e-commerce space.”
