Rapid-fire with Anuj Bhargava of Kumar Labels
When Kumar Labels ventured into the label business in 2007, the market was very different. As Anuj Bhargava said, “There was a scarcity of label printers and People were looking out. We never had to go out and look for customers. The name and reputation of our group company, Kumar Printers, always helped as people knew that we did a great job. Lately with excessive (and sometimes "unhealthy competition"), things are different.”
