Noaman Razack
Director
Noaman Razack is the youngest son of Prestige's founder, the late Razack Sattar and the Managing Director of Prestige Fashions (P) Ltd. (PFPL), the umbrella organization for all garment-related retail activity. Razack Sattar was a true innovator, a farsighted man who knew the power of the personal touch and for Noaman, whose role in Prestige began in the early Seventies, the shop was a vital childhood presence. He came to Prestige Fashions prompted by the desire to work with his father and be part of this surging, fascinating business of garment retail. Being a people's person made him the logical choice to provide Bangalore men's style retail a direction and a face.
An ardent - and proficient - sportsman, Noaman says from his desk at Prestige The Man Store, "Our growth is really bound up with that of Bangalore's. We've seen the city transform itself and maybe we've helped raised its style quotient while learning so much ourselves. Our father had a vision of Prestige and its role in Bangalore but I think even he, with all his foresight, couldn't have seen how far all this would go. Still, he was the one who took the first step and his ideals and convictions are more meaningful than ever."
