Celebrating 15 Incredible Years in Event Management | The Dottedi Story
Completing 15 years in the event management industry is a proud and emotional moment for The Dottedi, Nadia Mirza. In this blog, she talks openly about her long journey, the challenges, the setbacks, the wins, and everything she has learned along the way. As she celebrates this milestone, she shares how these experiences have shaped her and her business. She also expresses genuine gratitude to everyone who has supported her throughout the years.
The Real Struggles Behind 15 Years
Nadia begins by sharing how 15 has manifested itself in her life. This is not just as a milestone but also through the struggles she has faced along the way. She talks about trying 15 different products that failed, each teaching her something new about what customers actually want. She also mentions falling into debt of 15 lakhs, a period that tested her strength and patience. On top of that, she experienced a difficult phase when banks charged 15% interest for non-payment, a reminder of how tough running a small business can be when things don’t work out as planned.
These challenges were not limited to finances. Nadia recalls being rejected 15 times by corporate clients who didn’t find her work “professional enough” at that time. These rejections hurt, but they also pushed her to improve, refine her skills, and build something stronger. She even humorously adds that running the business for so many years made her gain 15 kilograms. This is a small but honest confession that shows the pressure and intensity of entrepreneurship.
What 15 Years Truly Mean to Her
For Nadia, completing 15 years is more than just a milestone, it’s a reminder of how far she has come. She has faced many challenges along the way, but today she doesn’t want to discuss the struggles. She wants to appreciate the journey.
These 15 years represent her growth, determination, and the many lessons that have shaped her as a person and as a business owner. Even after everything, she continues to work on herself, and jokes about hitting her 15,000 steps every day.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Everyone
Nadia's message was about gratitude. She said she was grateful to everyone who supported her throughout this journey. Without the trust, love and encouragement of her customers and community, reaching this milestone would not have been possible. She believes that her company's success is a result of people's trust in her work. This support has inspired her during difficult times and inspired her to keep trying.
What the Business Has Taught Her
After working in the industry for 15 years and trying every possible method, Nadia Mirza realized one powerful truth: business is not only about making money or staying ahead of others. It is about making people happy. This understanding changed her approach to work. She believes that the real joy in her profession comes from seeing excitement on a person’s face. This is when they open a gift, unwrap the packaging, and experience the fragrance and beauty of what’s inside. These small moments bring her immense satisfaction and remind her why she chose this field in the first place.
The Joy of Creating Meaningful Experiences
Nadia describes how watching someone open a gift created by her team makes her feel fulfilled. It is not just about the product; it is about the experience that comes with it. The way someone unwraps a gift, the expression on their face, and the happiness they feel — these moments make her work meaningful. She believes gifting is a powerful way to spread positivity, and she is grateful for every opportunity to be part of someone’s special moments.
