In this episode of Your Perspective with Akash Garg and Murtaza Udaypurwala we are in conversation with Siddharth Manyar, Director of Sai Baba Wood Products Pvt Ltd. We kick start by understanding the mindset behind plywood and its relevance in everyday life. Is plywood truly an investment? How do we recognize the quality of plywood amidst a lot of options? Our guest speaker shares invaluable insights and expertise on these topics, shedding light on the nuances of this versatile material. But that's not all. We explore the fascinating realm of IKEA through our guest's perspective. What are his views on IKEA, and what does the future hold for this retail giant in the dynamic landscape of India? The conversation then turns towards the story behind Siddharth's plywood manufacturing plant in Maharashtra. Venturing deeper, we analyze the geographical dynamics of the plywood industry, dissecting the disparities between North and South India. From the reel to the real, we unravel the truth behind the acclaimed movie "Pushpa" and its alleged ties to real-life events. Additionally, we delve into the mystique surrounding red sandalwood – its value, the world of smuggling, and the potential for legal cultivation. And, we even discussed the most expensive plywood of the world.
