EXECUTIVE PROFILECHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Syed
Imran.

Chief Executive Officer · Bliss Shoes · Ambur, India

Syed Imran serves as Chief Executive Officer. Mohammed Imran and Mohammed Shadab are Managing Directors leading production and exports — separate roles, separate leaders.

Syed Imran brings over twenty years of deep expertise in factory administration, sales, business development, and compliance auditing to Bliss Shoes. A team builder with exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, he leads the company's long and short-term strategy — from production floor discipline to export-grade buyer relationships across global markets.

I orient every decision toward customer satisfaction, product excellence, and meeting the strictest deadlines — because in export footwear, trust is built one pair, one audit, and one delivery at a time.
