With a massive presence in multiple cities across India, Manyavar Mohey is an enterprise that truly believes that its employees are their brand ambassadors. Inevitably, it becomes critical to empower them to keep a pulse on shifting fashion trends and consumer expectations, add value and deliver the best-in-class customer experience. This vision culminated in designing the upskilling program named ‘The Manyavar Experience’ in partnership with upGrad Work Better. With 70 batches running for 15-20 days in different parts of the country, this training was delivered in a blended learning format to Franchise Partners, Area Sales Managers, Store Managers, and Sales Staff. 

What made this a success was prioritising the learner experience and learner transfer. By breaking down consumer expectations into experiential videos helmed by the impactful role model named ‘Vikas’, there was a clear emphasis also on business ask and customer-centricity. In our exclusive, one-of-a-kind multimedia flipbook in partnership with upGrad for Business, titled Amplifying Growth, Achieving Impact: Customer Success Stories, we explore more on how Manyavar Mohey overcame skills obsolescence and upskilled their workforce with the aim of becoming a market leader in their domain.
