With her dynamic work approach and fresh outlook, she has been instrumental in building strong marketing and communication for Prestige Group. Be it systematically profiling the company and its diverse interests in the media, or assisting the company in its various networking forums, she has done it all. She is currently responsible for marketing communication, corporate communication, branding, and all other image-related initiatives for the Prestige Group. In addition, she also manages the digital and advertising needs of Morph, and Prestige The Man Store. Her venture as an entrepreneur started at a very young when she refused to take pocket money and wanted to be independent, from a very tender age. Impressed by her dedication and will to be independent, her mother inspired her to start her first business by compiling her records.
The music enthusiast that she is, Uzma had a wide collection of rare and classy music, which she would burn to CDs and sell it among friends and family, and thus started her first venture. Later, inspired by her mother’s amazing cooking skills, she tried her hand at baking as well, and her first attempt at baking a Red Devil’s Recipe was a great success, and her baked recipes were sold at Golconda, and spread by word of mouth. This is just the start of her ventures, where she could earn enough to get decent pocket money. Later, she joined the Prestige Group after completing her Education and there has been no looking back ever since. An enterprising entrepreneur, she also began her new venture under the Prestige Group - Sublime Art Galleria, at The Collection, UB City, in 2009, with the vision of promoting art and artists much before it became cool. It was just the first of many successful ventures she pioneered in the years to come. Under her unparalleled leadership, Sublime has witnessed exponential growth and has introduced multiple verticals like - Sublime Media House, Sublime House of Tea, Sublime Event Management, and Sublime Art Commissioning.
The Sublime House of Tea is an exclusive tea house that brings to you some of the finest and healthiest unique blends of teas, authentic honey, indigenous spices and dry fruits. An initiative that started with the idea to introduce the elite experience of high tea, Sublime has become a household name, thanks to the tea connoisseur in Ms Uzma.
She is the Editor of Prestige’s in-house magazine - Falcon News, and one of India’s top Luxury Magazines – The Luxury Collection. Both of which have a wide circulation across the country. While Falcon News majorly talks about the achievements and plans of Prestige Group, The Luxury Collection is an elite lifestyle magazine that brings to you all things luxury and beyond.
Her other ventures are Sublime Events and Sublime Art Commissioning. Sublime Events manage all big and small corporate events of Prestige Group and is gradually expanding its wings to other events. The Sublime Art Commissioning has successfully commissioned exclusive art for JW Marriott Prestige Golfshire and Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center and is also working on multiple projects.
