It is not market demands in Asia has increased considering there is also an increase in the income and fashion oriented styles.

 

Habib's grandfather was a personal barber for India's last Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten and also the first Prime Minister of India, jawaharlal Nehru. One of the reasons for the success of Habib is the way he targeted second tier Indian cities. In India, people don't care as much about originality as they do about looking like their favorite stars like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. Habib never discloses any names of superstars he caters because of the professional confidentiality.

 

He wants to be known as the 'Tesco' of the industry and is planning to expand his projects to the village level too. He will be converting the existing salons so as to allow original names to be added to the brand title.
