Managing Director of Boot Bazaar of Group of Maharashtra Agency Shri.Sonu Tiwari organized a grand function at Madhav Nagar at the office of the Maharashtra Agency to celebrate Independence Day where a Satyanarayan Katha was also organized. All 200 shopkeepers unfurled the national flag on the occasion. Avijit Gupta, the Chairman & Managing Director of Duronto Footwear was the chief guest. Along with it, the foot bazaar franchise was also given to the people, after which the children were treated to chocolates and other eatables.

On this occasion, Avijit Gupta, Sonu Tiwari, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel party’s media chief Dilipbhai Patel, Santosh Patil (corporator of Sangli), Shivaji (Pappu) Dongre (Member Jilla Parishad), Piyush Satyaprakash Bansal, Vishweshwar Adgale were also present. The shopkeepers added to the grandeur of the event and made the event a grand success. Sonu Tiwari welcomed all the guests present on the occasion with bouquets of flowers too.

Avijit Gupta, the Chairman & Managing Director of Duronto Footwear had specially come down from Kolkata for the event. Avijit Gupta manufactures footwear for everyone from children to the old people. When asked about the event and the attitude of the government towards the footwear industry, Avijit remarked, “Now Sonu Tiwari will look after all the work related to Duranto Footwear. He has been made the CNF of Maharashtra. The Kolkata government is not doing anything substantially to help us. All the schemes to help in the improvement of the small scale industries are there only on the websites. But if we go to their offices, we do not even get the forms and even if we do get the forms by mistake, nothing is done to ameliorate the conditions. If the government pays attention to this lacuna, the small scale industry will benefit and get a lot of fillip and the government too will benefit and the public will be assured of employment.”

Sonu Tiwari has been a part of the footwear marketing industry for the last 16 years, especially with Lakhani, In Blue, Action and Pooja Chappals and has covered the marketing from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and all the shopkeepers and the owners know him in person by name. Now he himself has opened several new showrooms in Shoe Bazaar and entered the field in full swing in a big way.  Sonu Tiwari who is the Managing Director of Maharashtra Agency’s Boot Bazaar says, “I do not want others to go through the difficulties that I had to face in this field. I have prepared a team of 50 people who will do the marketing for all the companies. Through them, I will give employment to unemployed youth all over the country and help others to start shops and earn through them. If we reduce the number of the agents in between, the shopkeepers will be able to get footwear cheaply and also earn more. And if the work is done properly and systematically, the government in turn will also benefit more and the country also will progress. I am starting this auspicious and good work on the occasion of the Independence Day.”
