Sachin Gokhale
Sachin Gokhale was in your shoes over eleven years ago. Having worked successfully in corporate America for more than 25 years, he always had the idea of starting something on his own. As an immigrant from western India, settling in Northern Virginia, there were few role models in business or the franchise world. Fate would have it connected with a thoughtful, supportive, and intelligent franchise consultant who put him into the hair care industry with a franchise called Roosters Men’s Grooming Center. Twelve years later, he is a proud owner of a multi-unit operation, with one as the number 1 store in the entire USA. He firmly believes that whether you are a local or an immigrant, this could be your story with the right help and direction. Owning a franchise can be very rewarding. You can positively impact the lives of your employees and customers.
Rest of his story – Completed his master’s in accounting (CPA) from one of the prestigious universities, the Indian Institute of Chartered Accountants, and joined a consulting company managing their entire account. He moved into Information Technology around the Y2K/Dotcom era to travel the world. Subsequently worked in Singapore, California, and settled down in Northern Virginia.
Sachin and his wife Nivedita have learned to balance their priorities between two kids, aged 28 & 22, running a successful multi-unit franchise and their IT jobs. Having gone through the process of looking for a franchise selecting one, and running it successfully, he can guide you through the entire process.
