A teary-eyed Aalim Hakim recalled how his dream of becoming a hairdresser was looked down upon by his collegemates. “When I used to tell people in college that I want to become a hairdresser, girls used to laugh at me. I was sure in the first year of my college that I don’t want to do this,” he said.

Aalim said his aim was to carry forward what his father had left behind, and that is when the dream of making his name as a brand was born. “I wanted to carry forward my father’s name.
