We are thrilled to announce that our founder, Priten Patel, was recently featured in London Business Matters, the magazine of the London Chamber of Commerce. In a candid “Two Minute Interview,” Priten shares insights into his career journey, achievements, and the inspirations that have shaped his approach to business.

An Inspiring Career Path

Priten’s journey started with humble beginnings. His first job in London was as a sales assistant in Jaeger Man’s suit department on Regent Street, where he quickly fell in love with the hustle and prestige of central London. It was here that he first envisioned a future in which he could leave his mark on the city.

Reflecting on his proudest achievement in the past year, Priten highlights Trishul Consulting’s recent win of the Best UK/India Business & Project Management Consultancy for 2023 award. For a business launched just three years ago, this recognition underscores the impact Trishul Consulting has had in guiding clients across the UK and India.

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

When asked about a business model he admires, Priten chose Soichiro Honda. Honda’s perseverance and belief that “success is 99 per cent failure” resonates with Priten’s approach to entrepreneurship—one that values resilience and growth through challenge. This advice is something Priten imparts to young entrepreneurs, especially those navigating the complexities of the property industry.

Views on London’s Transport and Taxation

Priten also shares his insights into London’s evolving infrastructure, noting the need for investment in the Underground, particularly the Central line, to enhance its reliability. Additionally, he discusses the challenges new entrepreneurs face with the UK’s current taxation system, advocating for reforms that would provide greater support for SMEs, a crucial driver of economic growth.

A Love for London

For Priten, London’s rich history and diverse cultures make it the world’s greatest city. From the ancient Tower of London to the ultramodern skyscrapers that now define the City’s skyline, London’s contrast of past and present is a constant source of inspiration.

Final Thoughts

We are immensely proud of Priten’s feature in London Business Matters, which captures his dedication to excellence, community, and innovation. As Trishul Consulting continues to grow and evolve, we remain committed to bringing these values to every project and client we serve.
