Later he moved to Australia to earn himself a diploma in wool technology to be able to get a better insight into the product. He understood and perceived the Indian consumers demand for shawls, blankets, cardigans and other woolen products. Raw wool in India started to be consumed for suiting and other garments as well. He imported different types of wool, which included Angoora and Moohair varieties, for which he traveled extensively throughout India. It was during these travel expeditions, that Aggarwal got familiarized with different kinds of food and cuisines from around the world and the entrepreneur in him, converted his passion for gourmand world into a formal foray into the industry.
