The corporate industry is defined by discipline, productivity and consistent efficiency. A nation gets to be built economically when its corporate establishments are attached to stellar infrastructure and the latest innovation. The better the operational and leadership efficiency, the better is the corporate growth. The entrepreneurial ecosystem in India is growing at a phenomenal pace considering our country being the third largest one with a thriving ecosystem. Most importantly, when we look into the ‘City of Joy’, Kolkata, the business community is scaling and, in some ways, leading by example.
In this feature, Business Outreach upholds the ‘Entrepreneur of the year 2025’ to be titled to one of Kolkata’s finest business leaders, Dr. Mohammed Zoheb Hossain. Zoheb founded Pinnacle Suppliers in 2018 with the focus on providing stationery and office supplies to its ever-growing vast clientele. Business Outreach is just standing as a platform to further take forward the impeccable business strategies that has allowed Pinnacle Suppliers to grow at such a fast rate. Looking closely, office supplies hold an integral part of a proper functioning in any professional space. It can include large volumes of paper to cover documentation requirements, pens, pencils, staplers and many others. Without this any office could find themselves in grey areas to fully perform for any projects.
Pinnacle Suppliers, under the leadership of Dr. Mohammed Zoheb Hossain, started as a small-scale venture. Currently, the company has grown astronomically by partnering with clients like corporate offices, educational institutions, government organizations and private enterprises. And to speak of this company’s growth, it didn’t happen overnight. Dr. Mohammed Zoheb Hossain has built Pinnacle Suppliers on the pillars of trust, maintaining client relationships, timely deliveries of products and competitive pricing. For any business to attract a market share, Zoheb believes in providing the best quality products and assuring the clients that reliability towards Pinnacle Suppliers is always an option.
Zoheb brings firsthand experience of how office supplies can make or break the growth of a company. His motto to build a great brand was simple, yet extremely motivational. His products should add value to the customers in their day to day lives. Reflecting on the early days of his career, Zoheb shares that he used to personally handle every order—from packing to delivery. There were times when he carried boxes himself to ensure they reached clients on time. During Pinnacle Supplier’s first bulk order, which wasn’t very big, the client’s satisfaction and repeat business made Zoheb realize his leadership in growing the company was on the right path. Those small victories laid the foundation for everything that followed. Clients trust Pinnacle Suppliers and that aspires Zoheb and the company to expand their business operational boundaries, further excelling on all fronts.
Being the leader, Zoheb says that leading does not necessarily mean to be done from a distance, but needs to get to the uncharted waters along with others. Zoheb is constantly looking for ways to improve our service model, adopt sustainable practices, and evolve with the changing needs of the market. His hands-on approach in dealing with clients, handling logistics, or ensuring product quality comes with a vetted process that works brilliantly. Zoheb’s duties include, but are not limited to actively engaging in client relations, vendor partnerships, quality control and exploring new opportunities to expand the company’s reach.
In regards to educational background, Zoheb holds a B.Sc. degree and a Bachelor’s in Hospital Management (BHM), which gave him early exposure to discipline, customer service and operational management. He further pursued a Diploma in Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, followed by a Certificate in Financial Accounting. This helped Zoheb in learning about the essential skills of managing both human and financial resources effectively. Furthermore, Zoheb completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration, which solidified his grasp on business strategy, marketing, and leadership. In recognition of his contributions to education and social work, Zoheb was honored with an Honorary Doctorate in Education and Social Work.
Looking forward, Pinnacle Suppliers are working towards enhancing their digital presence to make their product range more accessible to a wider audience, including bulk ordering and B2B services. The company is gradually expanding the product portfolio to include eco-friendly and premium office supplies in response to growing market demand. The highlighted growth plans include integrating inventory and order management systems, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing turnaround times.
