Sidarth Mahindra, fondly called Sid, is the Managing Director of Value Pets Supplies Trading LLC, Dubai & India. His love and passion for pets culminated into a niche business of pet consumables when he launched Pet Corner in 2004. His company operates several pet stores and veterinary clinics. You can buy the products his company manufactures and distributes, on their online platform or through their pet store on wheels. Mobile vans for pet grooming is an innovative service they provide as is the building and maintenance of fresh and marine water aquariums. Along side, his love and passion for Social Media, content and the likes grew over the years to help startups make a noice in on the platform, while bring out the very best from established businessess.
A graduate from the American University of Dubai, he earned his MBA in Corporate Finance & Investment from Cass Business School, UK, London. Sid is a passionate entrepreneur who vehemently believes that his slogan ‘better store’ is a better slogan than a ‘bigger store’ for building a bigger business. With eight outlets, over 100 team members and over 10,000 products, he surely got the words right.
Sid reads regularly and rates Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad as favorite non-fiction while his tastes in fiction ranges from the classy To-Kill-A-Mockingbird to the more classical Macbeth.
His pastimes are thrills like jet skiing, off-roading and scuba diving. Married to Aakriti Mahindra, a well established DHA licenced clinical psychologist, the couple is blessed with two young boys. The next time you go to a farm and find the rabbits busy, they are probably feeding on the food from Sid’s store.

SERVICES
Finance Strategy
Finance is one of my key strengths. Cashflow management, debt restructuring and MIS is something I have perfect vision for.
Marketing Strategy
Who says a finance buff cant be cool, trendy, and innovative. Marketing is about making noise and I am great at it. Wether it is social media, websites, e-commerce, SEO, ads management and anything on the world wide web.
Board of Directors
This has always intrigued me. Being out of the operations and day to day activities has helped me with my patience, maturity and tolerance. Being a executive and non executive BOD has enabled me to offer my advise on various strategies.
Operations Strategy
Getting my hand dirty was never a task. It is only FUN, as you need to be connected with your soldiers on the playground. I have worked extensively on the queuing system, which involves call centers, payment gateways and loads more. A good operations strategy offer speed, efficiency and accuracy.
Business Networking
Being an extrovert, business networking was natural to me. I have coached several colleagues of mine on what it means to take ownership of the podium. Those 5-10 minutes is your crucial time to present your self and your business. I am part of several business networking groups and can help you connect.
Angel Investor
Off late ive been investing my monies into smaller start ups across the world. I once remember, someone held my hand when we began and now its my turn to offer that hand of support, wether it is monetary or strategy specific. Support is SUPPORT!

Sisi Kwa Sisi Group - Congo
What is the purpose of this loan?
Mrs. Yvonne is a Hekima IMF client and the president of of
the « Sisi Kwa Sisi» village group. She is married and aged
50 with eight children who all go to school. Her partner is a
teacher. She sells food products. She started this activity
four years ago with funds that her husband gave her. Later,

This enabled her to develop progressively. She will use her
new loan to stock up on seven cans of palm oil to reinforce
her initial capital. The challenge in this business is linked to
the many taxes imposed by civil servants.
This loan is special because:
It serves entrepreneurs in conflict-affected areas with few
opportunities.

Sidarth Mahindra
How can I work with you?
Are you interested to work with me ? Lets talk about the project!
It is with great enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend Sidarth, aka Sid for his close associates. Sid is an incredible person with a passion for animals that is incomparable. Since running into Sid, I have not only adopted a kitten, but have also taken home some more pets after hearing how they can assist in nurturing the personalities of kids and families. Sid also makes sure that we as a family do look into the well-being of our pets by providing us with the guidance as and when required, and the products needed to make sure our furniture stays in-tact.
Sid's love for his aquariums is second to none. You could sit with him to gain education on how the sea world has a huge positive impact on people with determination. Sid has proven over time how his business is able to has a positive social impact on the community by opening his business doors for organizations and groups to visit his stores in order to gain a better understanding of these animals.
Sid is as honest a person you can find who will always provide you with his educated opinion. Due to his knowledge and personality, I would happily recommend him to any Pet Owners who really care for the animal world. Sid, carry on doing what you are so passionate about. You will always have my support!
Nouman Noorali
I met Sidarth about 18 months ago and we have been part of the same business networking group since then. He is one of the finest and smartest minds I’ve met. He is so passionate about what he does, in his case, being a pet coach and that is reflective in everything he does. Sidarth’s hunger to constantly learn, innovate and help others is what sets him apart.
I would recommend Sidarth to anyone who wants to learn about pets, do business about pets, own a pet, or just discuss ideas that would help both grow.
I can assure you your first meeting with Sidarth will definitely not be less than 2 hours 🙂 Passion with a purpose is what Sidarth stands for.
Henna Mohnani
Sid has been a great partner for our brands. His knowledge and passion of the pet business in the UAE has helped educated retailers and pet parents about our products. His business acumen has also supported scaling brands and products through the Omni Channel
Fernando Rodriguez
I have been doing business with Sid for over 10 years and he truly understands how to be successful in business at the highest level. When you do business with Sid, you are working together for a mutual benefit. One thing I love about Sid, is that he is always working on improving his strategies and growing sales. He understands that business evolves and is never stagnant. Sid is also a man of his word. His handshake is as good or even better than a contract. I can not say enough good things about him. I wish I had more customers like Sid Mahindra. He is an old soul with honor and trust but with new school thinking.
