Exotica International was a women's clothing business founded by Raj K. Randhawa. Randhawa's daughter, Nikki Haley was the company's CFO before becoming Governor of South Carolina. Randhawa earned her law degree from the University of Delhi and immigrated to the United States with her husband, Ajit S. Randhawa. In the United States, Raj Randhawa earned a master's degree in education and taught for seven years in the Bamberg, South Carolina public schools before founding Exotica in 1976. By 2004, Exotica had an annual revenue of $1.8 million and Mrs. Raj Randhawa was running the business together with her daughters Simran and Nikki. Mrs. Randhawa closed the shop and retired in 2008. She later became company comptroller. Comparing Haley with another shopkeeper's daughter, Margaret Thatcher, The Economist asserts that Haley's girlhood job in her mother's shop gave her, "an extreme watchfulness about overheads and a sharp aversion to government intrusion." |
