The founder of Di Classe, in his own words: how three salons and an academy came together in four years.

For me, Di Classe was never just about opening a salon. It was about creating a brand that could stand for quality, professionalism, creativity and an elevated experience in the beauty industry.

My entrepreneurial journey has been filled with challenges, learning, risks and countless hours of hard work. What started as an ambition gradually became a growing brand. In just three years, I built three Di Classe branches across Sanpada, Ghansoli and Chembur—opening a new chapter with every year.

But I never wanted growth to simply mean opening more outlets. I wanted every new branch to reflect the same vision: a premium environment, skilled professionals, strong systems and an experience that makes clients feel valued.

By the fourth year, that vision took another step forward with the launch of Di Classe Academy. The Academy was born from a belief that the future of the beauty industry depends not only on talented professionals, but on better education, better training and better standards.

Entrepreneurship, for me, is not about reaching a destination. It is about constantly asking, “What can be done better?” My journey with Di Classe is still being written. The goal is bigger than three branches or one academy. It is to build a brand that contributes meaningfully to the industry, creates opportunities for people, and sets a benchmark for what a modern Indian salon brand can become.

Build with passion. Grow with purpose. And always keep raising the standard.
