Resilience and Innovation
Navigating a complex supply chain and capital-heavy industry, Ashish invested in warehousing, inventory tech, and delivery infrastructure to enhance customer satisfaction. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, TFR adapted swiftly to new demands like home office furniture and virtual shopping experiences.
