Editor’s Note The new car you purchased may depreciate overtime or the money invested in stock can go down to zero, but at all times, there will be a significant value for your land and higher value for your home. Investing in real estate is one of the most critically planned decisions of one’s life. Your decision to invest in real estate besides being a safe financial investment is also an investment that can be a reason for years of happiness and priceless memories that will last a lifetime.

Through this editorial note, we highlight what a professional service looks like.

s ’ r o t

When you’re investing in the real estate ensure that you choose the most professional ones. But what are the critical factors to consider while choosing the best? There are Realtors and then there are occasional and full-time agents. There are family friends who have entered the business. Maybe your neighbors have entered into the profession for trying their luck. Which one is right for you?

See this through an example: Joe and Kim found a perfect house. They approached a part-time real estate agent. The agent showed them the home and Joe and Kim submitted an offer. It was later that the fireworks began.

They found the agent was an in-experienced negotiator. He wasn’t able to come to terms with the seller and negotiate the price.

In 2018, Jeff Cook Real Estate was ranked the 16th Real Estate Team in the country. Jeff Cook Real Estate is also the top real estate team in all of South Carolina. In 2017 alone, the team served over 1,050 families with their real estate needs! So what makes it so unique?

Besides helping you buy a home, the team helps you decide whether now is the right time for you to buy. You need a service that’s transparent in its approach, understands the seriousness of your dreams and works exhaustively to make your money count so that you enjoy the journey of buying a perfect house.

There are average agents and then there are great ones. The former will search for a home for you. The latter goes the extra mile to make your dreams come true. The golden rule is, look for the ones who are as excited as you in building your dreams.

I know how important this dream is for you.

Wishing you good vibes for now and forever.

Lesson learned: Look for professional services. It will save your time, money and your dreams.

COVER STORY

their most recent office in Rock Hill, South Carolina. With over 150 real estate agents across South Carolina, Jeff Cook Real Estate has become a household name for local real estate needs.

Jeff was laid off from Corporate America whilst working within a structure that did not reward or support top producing salespeople. Essentially, he was so good that they couldn’t afford to keep him. After witnessing the negative effects of this, Jeff began to work as an independent agent in real estate, with a goal of opening his own small business where people could thrive in a safe and goal-oriented company, and can be rewarded for their honesty and hard work. Shortly, after entering real estate, Jeff began to establish a team and created Jeff Cook Real Estate. Along with Jeff, two other agents and an assistant is now a thriving real estate company, consisting of more than one hundred agents and over thirty staff members in numerous locations across South Carolina.

THE CLIENTELE The clientele entails a wide spectrum of clients within Jeff Cook Enterprises; whether it’s a first time home buyer, sellers looking to relocate, or empty nesters ready to downsize for retirement. They have found a way to assist home buyers and sellers in every situation imaginable. Jeff C says, “When we find a situation that is difficult, we create a solution to help them. One example of this is our new program Jeff Cook Offers.” This is a program for distressed homeowners and homebuyers that are not yet mortgage eligible. Another company and service they provide under Jeff Cook Enterprises is a property management company called Rent Holy City. By offering a variety of different programs and options to their clients, they can better serve their needs.

At Jeff Cook Real Estate, they assist families, which require a home buying and selling expert by their side. Their local real estate experts can simplify the entire process from beginning to end. They have been quickly expanding across the state of South Carolina and have opened up

Team members cherish and celebrate each moment religiously, which builds an atmosphere of togetherness.

Weekly, they have a chiropractor in the office servicing their hard-working employees, celebratory lunches and parties in the office, and of course ringing the bell when a home is purchased or another win has happened. They encourage competitions throughout the year including internal, office vs. office, quarterly, and yearly competitions that keep agents and employees focused and driven. Jeff with a smile on face remarks,

THE COMPANY EMBRACES CHANGES TO THRIVE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD Boastfully, the CEO says, “As leaders within the real estate world, we pride ourselves in not only being at the forefront of the new trends but simultaneously trailblazing new ideas within the industry.” In an effort to be flexible with the ever-changing scene of real estate, without resisting changes in the market and industry, they embrace and adapt them so that their agents can grow and thrive. One way they plan to innovate their industry is by restructuring in a way the agents can feel more empowered.

One of their new visions is to empower agents in a way they never have before.

COVER STORY By focusing intensely on our values and continuing to develop and grow our leadership, we have had the opportunities to grow in ways we never imagined. The first major real estate market downturn hit our budding business hard. So hard, in fact, that I was taking out additional mortgages and living off ramen noodles so that I could pay my small staff. Yes, that time was incredibly trying, but the lessons I learned from that have helped me insulate and protect our business so that when there is another market downturn, we will not only be able to survive but thrive. We are very excited about our new company structure as it will be one of our newest tools to empower both our leadership team and our agents to thrive in the real estate business for many years to come in any market.”

It is his job to make sure everyone in the company feels like they are progressing and staying abreast of the cutting edge of their industry and that’s a great example of how accountable each individual is for their work.

“It is better to learn from someone who has successfully grown the number one team in South Carolina and the number ten team in the nation. Our model is that when our agents have success, the brokerage has success and we don’t want to limit our agents to do that in any way. We haven’t seen any other agencies tackle this method before and we can’t wait to redefine real estate once again. ” Jeff Cook

Jeff Cook says, “Since my priority is the big picture and long-term, I keep my nose out of the details and empower my leadership team to lead with confidence, knowing that I trust them to make the right decisions for our company. “

BCM Review

Tiredness at work is a lack of energy, motivation, and concentration towards work. The all-too-worn-out phrase, Energy is the power that enables us to do work and gives stamina for doing hard work, gets at the crux of the “chicken or egg” problem.

However, you can hold so much power over yourself by following some easy ways to reenergize whenever you are feeling low.

We all believe that a day just has 24 hours and you too only have so much energy at your disposal on any given day.

You may be surprised to find out that our bodies hold the equivalent of 1.86 million kilotons of TNT energy or 88,403 times more explosive energy than the hydrogen bomb that destroyed the whole city. Not the right picture to understand, but you get the point in the head by this example. A person has more energy in them, where we can imagine a person as a human-machine to work accordingly.

Now how do you harness the situation of Tiredness and know about why you are so tired? The first step is to realize that tiredness in your body, mind, and spirit’s way of telling you that something is out of balance.

Sleep: Poor Quality Studies have shown that nightshift work and sleep duration of fewer than six hours or greater than nine hours is detrimental to your health in terms of lack of proper sleep. Besides, taking sleep medication to obtain optimal hours of sleep does not ensure improved sleep quality, this will affect badly.

How do you know if you have poor sleep quality or quantity?

First, ask yourself the following questions: • Do I wake up tired?

• Do I wake up with a dry smelly mouth?

• Do I wake up with a headache?

• Do I get up at night more than once to urinate?

• Do I snore? www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue 6 | February 2020| INDIA

If you experience any of these, you may have sleep apnea and should discuss your sleep further with your doctor. Meditate10 minutes of deep breathing and clearing your mind before bedtime. This way is amazingly good for you to give your best time to sleep. There is much soft music available as meditation music and programs to choose from a list. Take a bath and lit a few candles and a couple of drops of your favourite oil into running water is pure heaven at the end of a long day and make you pamper. Do not caffeinate yourself after 5 pm as a normal person at work already had 2-3 drinks per day.

Exercise boost your body Exercise during working life does not mean heavy gymming and early morning walk; most of us do not get enough of it to do.

However, a normal person needs at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. It can be anything like a walk after lunch at the office or using stairs and steps. You do not need to spend any vast amounts of money on gym fees or classes for fitness just follow your steps and think of as many ways you can do for yourself.

The simplest way to get more exercise is to incorporate it into your daily routine with 10 minutes of meditation as an exercise of mind and 10-20 minutes’ walk after your mid-meal. If you practice this method, then you do not have to spend any extra money on the gym. You can also set your alarm 30 minutes earlier than usual and can go for a brisk walk before breakfast if you can do. A walk before breakfast energizes your body and mind, getting the blood flowing and your heart pumping so that you will work as a pro at your working place. Moreover, best of all this walk, it is free!

If you cannot go in the mornings, then try to incorporate a walk into your daily routine like lunch and dinner walk. In another way, you take public transport to work, then hop off a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way. If you drive for the work, then take at least 30 minutes at work during the day to go for a walk. In this way, not only will your body benefit, but also your brain, when you get back to work.

Let us look into 12 other ways that can energize you at work:1. Medication and it calmness effects 2. Playtime during work and at home with kids 3. Create a ‘not to do’ list at night before sleeping 4. Walk and talk at work, wherever it is possible 5. Oxygenating your body by an adequate amount of liquid and exercise 6. Drinking natural spring water to be on top 7. Belly laughing with company and home makes you mentally happy 8. Planting and gardening for feeling good 9. Group sports and exercise to keep yourself fit 10. Expressing Gratitude towards everyone 11. Honour special occasions as the best time ever 12. Good food and Juicing for diet 17

Both these types of travel business structures should set aside some funds for advertising tools like business cards and flyers along with social media advertising. All in an attempt to enjoy a fast cash flow and your travel business can avail other funding options like venture capital funding, angel investment or personal loans from lenders or banks.

CONCRETE ON A PLAN OF ACTION Any business proposition calls for a well-thought-after plan and a travel business is no exception to this primary requirement.

While keeping a close watch on every small detail, you as an entrepreneur should look into the market specifications that

It is for this reason that travel agencies should invest in building strong customer relationships through social media interactions via direct and clear and information about tours and services. Another factor is the feed baking process to allow your tourists to share all their travel experiences on social networking sites so that others can have an idea about your services and it will add new customers to your travel database. Personal recommendations can help you build a strong tourist community when you maintain a constant touch with your customers.

Govern your tour-planning business agency. If you plan to establish a home-based travel agency or small-scale travel business, you need to tie up with a host travel agency (Bigger one), which will provide you with the status of an independent contractor for planning and plotting of tours. Alternatively, if you want to set up an online travel business, you should have a well-designed website that compels visitors to sign up with you and get your services directly.

MAINTAIN YOUR TRUST IN THE MARKET The primary motive is to provide your customers with the best services as a service business of travel. Secondly, this business is to stand apart from your competitors, so you can support your travel website with WordPress. A WordPress certified website provides a higher level of security as well as business in terms of your web and e-commerce applications by employing encryption technology. Make a section of feedback for maintaining trust over society.

It is very important that you hire the professional services of a web developer and SEO expert for your travel website if you are not an IT pro. You should ensure that your website shows up compelling content. An easy-to-update website is a boon to travel agencies. Entrepreneurs should strive to optimize their online travel interfaces so that their website gets the top search engine rankings.

PARTICIPATE IN TRAVEL BUSINESS EVENTS Another actionable tip that will work for opening a travel business is to attend trade events that are organized in your locality. Such meetings for the travel business will provide you with invaluable information about your travel industry and its trends. Alongside helping, you to meet some important and notable people connected to your travel industry. You will simply get a chance to interact with the participants and spread the word about your upcoming travel agency.

KNOW YOUR COSTUMERS SECURITY DEMANDS In addition to signing up for a travel website, you need to go a step further to secure the confidential information of your customers. It is because everyone wants data security. It is the need of the hour for your travel agency to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) guidelines. Adhering to these rules and explain these to customers make you an industry pro for the travel market.

MEET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS It is indeed a simple task to set up a travel agency, but it can be difficult when it comes to legal stuff. However, all the entrepreneurs should meet certain requirements as per the law of the land. Certifications and licenses are some of the legal requirements that your business should meet for opening a traveling agency. Additionally, you should also come up with a formal name for your business along with applying for a Tax ID number.

BUILD CUSTOMERS RELATIONSHIP While aiming to carve a niche for yourself in the already competitive travel business space, entrepreneurs and home-based small-scale business persons should aim at specializing their business. For this, you simply need to select a couple of potential itineraries and aim at resolving all the queries of your target audience who connected with your business.

Given the fact, the internet provides volumes of travel-based information, you are deliberate and consistent attempts to offer help to your target audience can differentiate you from others.

Therefore, the trick here is to identify the specific travel needs of tourists and address them by providing personalized solutions and ease of travel. This way, you will be able to build longterm business relationships with your clientele.

Do not compare your child’s progress with another. Let your child grow and flourish at his own pace and enjoy the golden moments of his life to the fullest.”

The Importance of IT in the

Business Sector In the modern era of 2020, it is not possible to avoid technology when we talk about business. It is always said that the business world is led by the development of technology or vice versa. The truth is that every business and technology co-exist with each other in terms of development. However, it is essential to acknowledge the contribution that technology has made in the modern way of doing business like the green country marketing association. Technology has completely changed all the ways in business today. In this article, we will discuss the reasons why technology is important in business.

In fact, it is quite hard to imagine any business that has not benefited from the digital revolution and focused on IT. Even the business production of agriculture uses computers for the updates and new research work for developing their agriculture needs as a business. In India, most of the farmers use computers for production records and listings, financial planning and calculations, research on technical issues, procurement, etc.

Nowadays the formula for business is simply changed and success is simple: drive innovation with information technology for business development. Therefore, the first thing start-ups in any industry try to figure out is how to make smart IT recruiting choices and IT adaptation techniques. Information technology plays the role of backbone for business and without it; the business is not going to go far.

Why Information Technology is important in Business, Five reasons for the importance of technology in the business sector.

Better communication Technology has completely changed every way in the business industry today. IT has become easy to communicate with customers and keep in touch with suppliers at every level of your business this makes the communication a better bond. Building good communication is important for business growth and with the help of IT this problem will be solved quickly. Using technology in your all need to communicate to your customers is the use of email, and the message is delivered instantly. Social media platforms also work like this and have made it easy to interact with your customers and answer all their questions. The use of email and social media is the best way to communicate with customers at business.

Bringing efficiency in business Technology has helped in bringing efficiency in the way business is working today. Things like, many business transactions where now being done through online portal, it is possible to track the way business is done efficiently and easily without ques of payment and things. For instance, it is now possible to track the location of your goods when you buy any goods online from eCommerce suppliers. This thing makes easy efficiency for suppliers and buyers as well. It is also possible now to monitor the stock of your goods and knows when to order your goods for later use in business.

The new way of doing business The way business is done today very different from the way, the business was done decades ago. The change of technology made it simpler for people to work and today it is possible to buy everything online because of the development of e-commerce stores in every country. You do not have to make a physical visit to the store to get whatever you want if you don’t have time to visit then these platforms always open for you. With an e-commerce store, you can buy everything you want, and it is delivered to your doorstep.

Security in business Security in business is something that was a big challenge in the past. It was impossible to keep the business confidential information secure because of a lack of capacity. The growth of Information technology in the era of evolutions has made it possible to keep business information secure and protected for business. Today most of the industries use encryption that makes it impossible to assess real and confidential data from the company backups and public servers.

Technology keeps employees engaged Technology keeps employees engaged in many different ways. It allows employees to telecommute to work. It encourages collaboration between co-workers in businesses through tools such as file sharing. It improves communication. Technology reduces stress by allowing your company to schedule important deadlines and meetings on your electronic calendar and share the information in bulks.

SHIV SHIVAM PHARMA

A PIONEER DISTRIBUTOR OF DRUGS AND MEDICINES

Pharma is one of the most trending and growing verticals of the healthcare industry. The constant increase in the size of the Indian pharmaceutical market is due to a change in lifestyle and high demand for quality health care, making this sector one of the promising contributors of the Indian economy.

India is the third-largest in the world in terms of volume and tenth largest in value. India has become a prime destination for the manufacturing of branded and generic medicines with a strong export element.

There’s a number of distributors in the market through which the end products are dispensed to the consumers and henceforth, it becomes very tough for clients and consumers to claim the best among the others. But even in this fragmented society, Shiv Shivam Pharma stands as one of the leaders and resilient distributors of Drugs from all the verticals of healthcare and pharmacy.

THE COMPANY AND ITS INCEPTION STORY Shiv Shivam Pharma was established in 1989 in Kolkata, West Bengal by Late Magan Lal Mohta and his son Mr. Vikash Kumar Mohta and is one of the reliable dealers of Anti Cancer Drugs & other life-saving medicines. The company serves as a distributor and logistics partner for most of the reputed multinational and national pharmaceutical drug makers marketing in India.

Shiv Shivam mostly deals with specialty drugs. Products are life-saving in nature, high on value, have storage specification (many being cold chain), and require prompt delivery.

Their medicines are based on verticals like Oncology, Hematology, Hepatology, Opthalmology, Gynecology, IVF, Nephrology, Cardiology, Neurology, Pulmonology, etc.

A BRIEF OF THE CURATORS Shiv Shivam is currently lead by two highly talented professionals Mr. Pradip Mohta (CEO) & Mr. Lakshya Kumar Mohta (Sales & Distribution Head), the third generation of the family managed business. As the eldest son and most qualified, his family looked up to Mr. Pradip for prosperity and better living. To achieve that he has involved himself in this family business as soon as he completed his schooling and incorporated himself completely as soon as he completed his Chartered Accountancy. From then onwards, Mr. Pradip through his guidance and headship has been very instrumental in creating a renowned position for the company in the market.

CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET First is the e-pharmacies – “E- pharmacies now pose like a major threat to traditional offline shops. Online dispensing will continue to grow, but online pharmacies must operate safely and we must also retain an effective network of physical community pharmacies”.

Says Mr. Pradip Mohta.

ENSURING EMPLOYEES’ CONTENT UPTO THE MARK There are several factors that altogether impact towards achieving the employees’ satisfaction other than their salary. Employees tend to look for their compatibility with other peers, their leader’s attitude, organization goals, and their future security. Shiv Shivam aims to maintain minimal labor turnover and retain as many employees as possible. This mindset also helped sustain a few who were there from the inception.

The company believes that Government authorities should have stricter guidelines ensuring there is no compromise made on health due to the e-pharmacies, ensuring data security & integrity of the patients, authenticity & quality of the drugs distributed and zero casualty in validating prescriptions.

The company has installed brains from all verticals namely analytics, communications, physical tasks, computing, etc.

Hence, they place employees with given roles in a way so that you get the maximum benefit out of their skills and there is minimum friction amongst themselves and have a smooth functioning. It is essential in the workplace to avoid ego clashes, have respect for each other, and get the jobs completed among themselves. The leaders also play an impeccable role in trusting and empowering the employees and make them able to manage situations and even take crucial decisions in the absence of the leaders.

Next, is the NPPA price capping and ceiling. The company believes the ceiling has to lead to drug shortages, majorly of the patented drugs. Drug manufacturing/marketing becomes unviable when there is a price ceiling on it and its API costs increases. As such they wish to bring the government’s focus on this matter to improvise the regulatory policies especially in the area of patent and price control. In short, the company craves for the government to maintain a balance between access and affordability by inducing more competition on the one hand and also encouraging innovation and long-term stability of the sector on the other.

TARGET FOCUSED FUTURE PROSPECTS The company has shown millennials of achievements over its 3 decades of progression. Shiv Shivam has maintained pace with the market and taken their performance to the crescendo in each and every product and services. These have further provided them the forte to build a stunning future for the company. The company has already created short term goals like developing better infrastructure, better product promulgation through innovative marketing and brand building. And long term goals that include expanding to new geographical locations and enlarging their image from a Pharmaceutical distributor to a Healthcare Solution Provider.

Lastly, the industry is facing pressure from both the government and the civil society to make generic medicines more affordable for a large section of the population of the country. This for the Industry is causing price erosions and a decline in sales value, thus the surviving factor becomes increase in volume and market expansions and innovation.

A GIVE BACK TOWARDS THE SOCIETY BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY “A good and ethical business in itself is a contribution made to the economy and society”.

Mr. Pradip Mohta.

INFLUENCE OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT & ADAPTIVE TO CHANGING MARKET TRENDS The company believes development is about being informed about the market and its dynamics changes and thereby focusing on the growing epidemics. Say for example, given the urban lifestyle Opthalmology, Gynecology, Oncology, IVF are booming segments, whereas there are diseases that are eradicated or soon to be eradicated like Hepatitis C. Also, the company stays updated about new innovations and drugs prevalent in global markets. The company tracks its patent rights, launch in the domestic market, and their results and reviews.

The company believes that fulfilling clients’ needs, serving the patients, healthy relations with stakeholders & govt. authorities and caring for the environment is a good contribution to society. The company is acquainted with each of the above-mentioned segments. For e.g. it has a disciplinary approach towards dispensing direct and indirect taxes, Pro-actively and efficiently delivers and avails life-saving drugs all throughout the year, minimizing the use of plastics, papers, avoiding the wastage of food and recycling and reusing of available resources.

Also, to stay ahead in the game it is important to be updated with the latest technology (software and gadgets).

To stay in the game it is important to be voguish in all aspects so as to comply with Govt rules and take strategic decisions. Shiv Shivam has accommodated all the required tools in the pharma industry to stand in a convenient position in the market whilst ensuring proper routes of connection with suppliers and retailers.

Furthermore, directly or indirectly helping their stakeholders viz Employees, Suppliers, Medical Representatives, service providers, lenders who are attached to the company in generating revenues and make a better living for themselves.

Obesity

The rise in in India: Facts and Reasons

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue 6 | February 2020| INDIA

42

Obesity as a disease has risen over the years as a deadly nightmare for many; therefore, it has the myths and many misconceptions. There is still a lot we do not know about the cause or the best way of managing obesity, but we do know a lot more than we used to.

ous cause of Obesity. Generally, people tend to eat out more often when they are working and the consumption of junk food is among the key causes of obesity. During childhood, most of the children fed junk food and found it very tasty. Hence, they will find it hard to develop good eating habits.

In India, obesity is significantly increasing in the prevalence of bad health over the last few years.

The data’s that analyse this report shows almost one-third of the adult urban population estimated to be overweight or obese physically. The general cause for obesity is the imbalance between food we take and it is reciprocal to the energy we outlay.

Moreover, the number of factors that have contributed to the rising frequency of obesity among Indians is their lifestyle and the changes in urbanization. By having an urban lifestyle people will lack and with limited physical activity in their busy days and follow poor dietary habits.

LESS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY A body needs both food and activity; if you simply consider food over physical activity then you were in great trouble with obesity. Lack of physical activity aided by technology things for daily use making people physically inactive and this leading to people becoming obese. In an era of people using click to do their work, one must need a habitual workout.

LACK OF AWARENESS Lack of awareness about Obesity as a dangerous disease. A major section of the population in India simply lacks basic knowledge about the right nutrition. Hereby, knowledge is the key to cure obesity, but most of the people do not know that obesity is a disease, which is again among major causes of obesity.

OBESITY IS CAUSED BY POOR LIFESTYLE CHOICES Most obesity programs blame obesity as a cause of poor diet choices and lack of physical activity throughout the day. It is common to hear that people with obesity are “lazy” with a lack of motivation factor.

MYTH ABOUT OBESITY MYTH: Rapid weight loss means you are predisposed to regaining your weight back very quickly rather than losing the right amount of weight more slowly.

While diet and lack of exercise may play a role, several other factors that contribute to the increase in obesity. On top of this, the truth is that most of the people who even have a healthy weight, do not meet the recommended amount of physical activity each day. For most, obesity is not merely the result of making poor choices in life.

All the weight-loss research trials typically show or conduct a long-term follow up on a person for one or more years after the initial weight loss. By comparing the studies that encouraged rapid weight, loss on very-low-energy diets shows slower weight loss and it is not statistically significant. The only difference between gaining wright again is still being into the old routine.

It can be truly caused by stress, sleep health, hormones, chronic pain, underlying medical conditions, medications, genetics, and multiple other environmental and economic factors. Because of this, management of obesity needs to be tailored for each person diagnosed with the disease.

THE TRUTH: If you are already obese then you see the weight loss as greater initial than others do.

It is always unclear that why some obese people respond differently than others. If you fall into the rapid weight loss category naturally, it may slow your long-term weight loss if you try to interfere with your body’s natural response. This rule does not apply for those looking to shed five quick kilograms of weight before a beach trip, as dramatic fasting cause’s proven internal damage. However, for major weight-loss goals greater than 40 Kgs, keep this myth in mind that they will regain but this is not true.

Truth is that you may have to maintain the regularity of work and meal then the process is stable for weight loss.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF OBESITY? WRONG EATING HABITS Eating your meals wrong is the first thing when it comes to the cause of Obesity. It is said, “Your body is what you eat”. Wrong Eating Habits are one of the major causes of obesity. Obesity is the thing that never develops overnight; it is rather a progresses from a poor diet. Hence, the wrong eating habits from childhood also make people obese in their future adulthood.

CONSUMPTION OF JUNK FOOD Junk food for people nowadays is a blessing if they eat outside, and this is said to be the most danger-

Workplace technology is emerging as an indispensable part of the business. In India as well as globally, the enterprises are investing substantially to adopt workplace technology to enhance workforce productivity. The enterprises have been grappling with ever-increasing digital innovations and inadvertent adoption of open social media tools by its workforce for easier connectivity and collaboration. However, such unsupervised adoption at workplaces without business sanction and mandate has created compliance and data security risks for enterprises.

The popularity of consumer social networking platforms has been stimulating demand for similar communication and collaboration technology for use by businesses.

enterprise and ownership of data related such interactions/ activities rests with the enterprise.

ODIGO gives complete operational control of field force wherein the enterprise can easily reach out to the work force & get a quick response, collaborate with the team in a secure & confidential way, ensuring precise and accurate data collection/reporting.

To contain service delivery costs and remain nimble, every service organization needs the ability to locate the worker, track the status and progress of the job, and send other relevant information back and forth. ODIGO offers complete visibility of the field force in the field.

This is the precise gap addressed by ODIGO, a secure enterprise messaging and tracking platform for a distributed workforce. ODIGO is offered by Bangalore (INDIA) based technology startup TalentBridge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. ODIGO offers two critical differentiations over the open messaging platform i.e. hierarchical and confidential interaction in a secure and scalable environment.

ODIGO ensures efficient and effective use of contract workforce (use of the third party for service delivery and to augment their regular workforce) to manage variable demand, special projects, or expansion into new geographic areas.

ODIGO is available on Mobile as well as WEB platform, using the same login credentials (OTP based login by using a mobile number). ODIGO can be downloaded from the Apple App Store (iOS version) and Google Play Store (Android Version).

ODIGO ensures hierarchical (Vertical as well as Horizontal) engagement with the total confidentiality and security of the content shared. Users can not copy/ download or forward any content shared on the platform unless authorized by the enterprise. Enterprise can manage and track the distributed workforce effectively with every activity and interaction being geo-tagged and time-stamped. While attendance management aided by face recognition technology ensures validation of distributed workforce, ‘LIVE VIEW’ shows the current location of all the field force on the field with user details.

This feature will also display the ‘Planned Vs Actual’ route map of the user while on the field.

KEEPING ABREAST OF THE CHANGES Team ODIGO keep an eye on all the hottest trends that look beneficial for taking the trajectory of the business to the next level which involves taking feedback from the ODIGO users and discussing with the individuals on the field to find out their inputs and the changes they want to see in the product. More time the team spends with the customers, more the evolution of ODIGO as nextgeneration Enterprise Messaging & Tracking platform.

‘Contextual Personalization’ is one of the distinctive features of ODIGO, which makes the interaction more personalized or contextualized imbedding Text/Audio/ Video in documents (Doc/PPT/PDF) to be shared for the specific user group. Users can also seek clarification on specific elements of shared documents in the same Text/Audio/Video mode. The Document Approval workflow lets the user share the file(s) with one or more user(s) for their approval before the file(s) being shared amongst the group. With ODIGO, enterprises can assign tasks, conduct surveys and assessments, collect data with enormous ease.

INCREDIBLE MILESTONES AND ACHIEVEMENTS THEY BOAST OF ODIGO already has some key strategic partnerships in place. ODIGO has a strategic partnership with Lintas for Advertisement Activation Management and an exclusive partnership with one of the Global leading Marketing Execution cum Procurement partner HH Global is instead. ODIGO is building a significant partnership with one of the top Defense PSUs in India to offer ODIGO jointly to other PSUs in India.

Last year ODIGO was amongst the winners at HDFC Digital Innovation Summit 2018. Awarded HOT100 startups in 2014 by HOT100 Technology (in association with Amazon and Netmagic), TalentBridge was recognized amongst the Top 30 Entrepreneurs by Silicon Review in 2017.

TECHNOLOGY IS PIVOTAL Sarvang Infotech is a robust organization that believes in consistency and driving revolution through quintessential research practices. Even though expedient changes in technology are squeezing organizations to do more and more in every cycle, they are sailing with the wave. The fact is that it is useless to battle the change.

They are a technology-driven company, where they build solutions by accessing the emerging demands of the customer. For this reason, they try to embrace the tech changes in their core processes.

They also help to preserve the environment by spreading awareness regarding impending issues, which could have serious consequences on the environment.

They proudly work with clients in multiple areas of business and help them to overcome enterprise challenges with ease. They have a bunch of applications, which they boast of, since these have drastically changed the work environments, making them much safer for employees. Their Safety application helps employees to report hazards from any location from their mobile devices. It is helping in saving lives and assets along with generating awareness. Their 5S audit tool gives organizations a simple and cost effective way to track, manage, depreciate and audit/stock take their assets, resources and equipment. Similarly, they use cutting-edge technology to build other applications such as MLearing, Meeting Manager Pro, iTravel, Employee self-service, Night Duty Officer, Ghoshna, township management, etc.

MILESTONES AND ACHIEVEMENTS Since the foundation of their organization in 2005, they’ve come a long way in the software industry.

Last year, they successfully launched their government jobs alert and free government tenders alert mobile application.

R&D: A KEY STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT FACTOR If you’ve got to stay in the industry, R&D is as fundamental as any other business process. They have to deal with competition on a daily basis, not just from the existing players but also from new entrants. Unless we seek solutions through research and development, how will we ever increase our organization’s

HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY: XEBIA GLOBAL SERVICES

Xebia Global Services Digital Transformation Company

ANAND SAHAY CEO

COMPANY OVERVIEW Xebia Global Services is a The Netherlands-based Digital Transformation Company that provides innovative solutions and services to enable organizations to become digital winners. It is organized into Centers of Excellence and specialized in new technology like Agile, DevOps, Continuous Delivery & Integration, Big Data, Cloud, Software Craftsmanship, and Data Centre Automation. In the last fiscal year, Xebia Group’s turnover was USD 100 Million.

Mr. Anand Sahay, CEO of the company, and other senior Java specialists were instrumental in starting it in 2001 in The Netherlands. It has grown from a company with a handful of employees based out of the founder’s home into a $100 million company. To cater to the increasing demand from across the globe, Xebia decided to set up in India in 2006.

According to Mr. Anand Sahay, CEO, Xebia, “The entrepreneurial ecosystem in India is the third largest in the world.

What I do for Xebia is a stint in entrepreneurial upcycling. My experiential knowledge from the earlier parts of my career play a huge role in strengthening what Xebia does. We are not only making a mark in cutting edge technology but also exploring and creating new frontiers.”

Since then and especially in the last six years, Xebia has been spreading its footprint and has expanded globally to Middle East, USA, UK and in India to cities like Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad. These are mini Silicon Valleys of India and Xebia has a substantial presence there.

Xebians are known for their prolific and profound open source contributions. Xebia is known for turning latest technology trends into significant competitive advantage for customers by creating new solutions.As a software development company, Xebia constantly looks for new ways to thrive. In Xebia, the team members are enhancing their capabilities through partnerships to implement more end to end and innovative solutions for their customers.

They have partnered with the industry’s top technology providers to enable collaboration and provide the right kind of solutions to the customers.

their aspirations, areas of interest, challenges faced, and get the support required to grow professionally.

In Xebia it’s not just about working on technology, but about harnessing the collective creativity and innovation to create something new; it’s about making a difference!

Xebia has global presence and while different geographies come with their own sets of challenges and advantages, their current challenge is the “education around technology”.

Today in terms of technology, we are only constrained by our own imagination. If we can imagine it and understand the tools around us, we can build solutions, we can build integrated frameworks, we can quite simply solve problems that deserve tech insight. While Xebia prides itself on its human capital, it is becoming all the more difficult to keep ready a healthy pipeline of folks who are passionate about technology and are skill ready for using cutting edge technologies.

Digital Transformation is permeating industries — Aviation, Banking, Healthcare, Retail, or E-Commerce and enabling companies to expand their footprints on a global scale.

These sectors are embracing digital transformation to bring a paradigm shift in their customer experience.

The clients in the banking sector want to digitise their processes, improve mobile and online banking applications, and build “Future of Banking” concepts to remain in close connection with their customers. Airline companies are looking for ways to enhance customer experience across the entire travel value chain—pre-booking, reservations, price optimisation, loyalty programs, in-flight experience — and use analytics to provide improved customer experience by rolling out programs that could provide a fillip to their businesses. This approach has helped Xebia cultivate longterm relationships with over 65 global prestigious clients.

FUTURE PLANS Today the technology industry is undergoing a tectonic shift. For business growth it is critical to be at the forefront of technology and digital transformation. Transformation must happen at the core of a company’s business model, processes, and infrastructure. It needs disruptive thinking and innovation.

Xebia encourages its people to work on new ideas and latest and upcoming technologies to foster a culture of innovation. If the idea is commercially viable, it helps it to spin it off as a separate company (a mini startup) within its Holding Company. Xebia provides the right kind of support to achieve scale and profitability. Companies like Stack state and Xebia Labs were formed based on this premise and spun-off to operate just like any other startup and at the same time are a part of the Xebia group.

WORK CULTURE AND CHALLENGES True knowledge workers find Xebia an inspiring place to work where they are challenged by peers. Their open work culture, flat hierarchy, independence provides a perfect balance to people to innovate and also create quality software.

Xebia lays great emphasis on the personal development and growth of its people, investing heavily in the knowledge sharing and refinement of skills, through various knowledge sharing programs like XKE’s, XTR, Blogs. People are free to choose a training that would aid and enhance their potential, from anywhere in the world! Xebia Knowledge Exchange (XKE) provided a fortnightly forum to learn and share about the latest and greatest in technology. Techies are encouraged to blog, write books, and participate in new and emerging technology events.

Xebia will continue to be Tech Driven with disruptive domain solutions at the heart of it. They will look for opportunities to grow their technology width as well as take leading positions on the domain side. As a company they want to be seen as a high quality technology services company with a product mindset leading to almost technical debt-free softwares for their customers.

Xebia has been predominantly innovating on the tech side of business. In the future they intend to verticalize their services where they also start innovating on the domain side of business. Xebia will start with creating Banking and Financial services & Airlines as two domains where new ideas will be conceptualized to disrupt the business processes itself. Xebia stands perfectly poised for this.

To encourage the women employees and to increase their number, Xebia runs a program called #SheTalksTech. Under this, it organises mentorship programs where all women professionals can discuss with an experienced Xebian about
