Parul Gulati Says She Prefers Having Female Employees
In a recent chat, Parul Gulati revealed that she has more than 36 female employees working for her in Nish Hair. While talking about her reasons for having an all-women team, Gulati said “I did have men who were working before, but I personally could not work with them for reasons. The reason is that I got cheated a lot and for money.” Parul Gulati revealed that the reason might have been that those men assumed she wouldn’t check her company’s numbers as she is a female. Further adding she said that, “Maybe this was the reason. I am very bad with numbers. I even forget my own company’s numbers on Shark Tank.”
Learning from this, Parul Gulati said, “I am learning from this and I keep a check on my numbers now as I don’t want to get cheated on again.” Advising other female entrepreneurs, she said, “If you are starting your own business, please figure out where your money is going because people might assume that you’re just passionate about your product and won’t check on money.” Parul Gulati revealed that she got cheated on not just one but 2-3 times!
Talking about being cheated on, the actor said, “I once got cheated on by a woman as well. She was planning and plotting with her boyfriend. He was in the logistics department while she worked with me on quality checks. But sometimes she would also assist in sales.” She further revealed that at that time people used to think that her product was very expensive and the employees took advantage of that. “If a customer would come to buy any product and felt that it was expensive, that woman would tell them to buy it from her instead in black so that the cost would go down.”

She further said that the employee would steal her products and keep them in her purse while her boyfriend delivered them to the customer. “They would only take cash and no other means of transaction. And once when she was trying to sell it to a customer, the deal didn’t go through. So, that customer messaged me that her assistant was doing this and then I got her arrested and she went to jail.”
Being a woman entrepreneur is quite challenging anywhere in this world. Everyone looks at you like you can’t achieve anything and it is so hard to prove to them and also do your job. But Parul Gulati does it so smartly and encourages other women to stand on their feet too!
