However, Ortega’s journey to success was also marked with struggles. Ortega, the most prominent businessman in Spain initially began his career as a delivery boy. His father used to work as a labourer in the railways.
Moreover, Ortega also had experience working in a clothing store. He did sewing at a tailor’s shop, where he gained valuable knowledge about the intricacies of clothing. This experience proved beneficial when he started his own business. He first opened a shop, gradually expanding it until he launched his first clothing line in 1963. In 1975, he opened the first ZARA outlet. In 1985, Ortega founded Inditex, and in 2011, he passed the business on to his daughter.
