“The first thing that lights up when we hear the name Supervac is “VACUUM”. Supervac is a technologydriven company that has beaten European MNC giants both in quality and volume. This company mainly caters to the food packaging industry. Led by an engineer, Supervac has very ambitious plans. In order to know more about Supervac, read the article till the end.”
In India, the Vacuum sector has witnessed a sustained growth of above 17% yearly. The pandemic has further highlighted the importance of Metallized Packaging, a major user of Vacuum Technology. Customers increasingly are insisting on hygienic Metallized packaging of food items on account of hygiene, easy disinfection after buying and increased shelf life. In addition to food packaging, the high-tech Engineering sector and Defence sector are also major users of Vacuum applications. But the situation was not so favourable a few years back, most of the equipment was imported, and there were no reliable manufacturers andsuppliersofvacuumproductsinIndia.
Mr. Anshuman Punj (Founder and CEO, of Supervac Industries LLP) took a marvellous step of establishing the foundation of Supervac Industries LLP that was not only able to cater significantly to the vacuum equipment industry in India but started an undying revolutionacrossthecountrybymanufacturingvacuum consumables indigenously. Mr. Anshuman holds more than 17 years of experience in the Vacuum Industry. Supervac has emerged as a highly successful Indian companyandsupplies37countriesallovertheworld.
The automobile sector, Pharmaceutical industry, steel manufacture, glass manufacture and defence sector are themajorverticalswheretheysupply.
Very-large-scale production and operation at a global level give them a pricing advantage. To maintain its reputation as an ace manufacturer of vacuum equipment, they have understood that it can never compromise the quality of its products. They have all major quality certifications, ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001:2015 (Environment Management System), OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems), SA 8000 (Social Accountability System), MSME Sustainable (ZED) Certification and more. They are certified by the Quality Council of India as well as the Federal Ministry forEconomicAffairs,Germany.
The main goal is to provide the customer's world-class products at reasonable prices. They want to be the largestcompanyinthevacuumfield.

Since they cater for the food packaging industry, they had to work throughout the pandemic. Managing production under strict covid regulations by Govt of India was a major challenge. They divided themselves into 3 teams that worked in tandem to make sure that theystucktotheircommitteddeliverydates.
Supervac continues to be a very professional organisation that is very young by heart, They are an organisation of innovation. Though young at heart they follow a very system-driven approach to servicing their customers. Apart from reaching customers across every nook and corner of India, they are currently exporting their products to 37 countries around the world. Ranked as one of the top manufacturers of vacuum equipment atagloballevel.
Because of the pandemic, the major industry was the food packaging industry. People prefer hygienically packed food on account of hygiene, easy disinfection after purchase and increased shelf-life. The food packaging industry is coming up with innovative, strong and transparent materials and the focus is on extremelyfastproduction.
The products are extremely technical and were not being manufactured in India before Supervac. They faced a lot of bias as to how an Indian company can make products so far made by European companies only. This was the extreme challenge faced by him. As the leader, his major work remains strategy and problem-solving. The entire Supervac family works for onegoal-Toprovideourvaluedcustomerswithworldclassqualityatreasonablerates.
They Completely focused on becoming bigger and better every day. They have no plans for any diversificationorforwardintegration.
Supervac is a very professional organisation with KRA’s, everyone being clearly defined. The entire Supervac family works for one goal - To provide their valuedcustomerswithworld-classqualityatreasonable rates.
They have paid a lot of attention to the globalisation of their operations and the technological upgradation of theirproducts.
They drive motivation primarily because, as a company, they have always felt extremely responsive to their customers. Today, they have a customer base across the globe. Users in any country can buy their products from anywhere and it’s a promise that they won’tbedisappointed.
The faith they put in motivates them to deliver quality and continuously improve their products as an industry leader. To meet the expectations of their valued customers, they keep trying to innovate and deliver better products faster at reasonable rates. Rather than waiting for the change that they wish to see across the industry,theyareeagertotakethenecessarystepstobe the change. Their success mantra- Quality on time everytime.
Anshuman stated “Entrepreneurship is quite an important decision irrespective of the industry you are focused on because the rules to succeed as an entrepreneur remain the same for everyone. My advice for budding entrepreneurs will be to have a long-term vision for the company. Also, emphasis should be on building a team rather than wearing many hats by the entrepreneur”.

CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY THE COMPANY DURING THE PANDEMIC.
Covid played havoc in the lives of many lives and nearly ruined the job space for half of the population across the globe. With all that being said, companies have struggled to churn out profits, and the attrition rates have been at an all-time high. Overall it was a tough time. However, the company's leadership held the team together and ensured clients were not let down on any promises. The never-give-up attitude has helped them sail through and also allowed them to pivot. With the Covid-19 phase, they got the chance to revisit the pitch decks, create multiple cost-friendly packages for potential clients who were scaling down marketing efforts and work on upskilling the team that equipped them to offer more comprehensive solutions to the clients.

The company is also investigating ways to invest in growing its presence in the Metaverse.
In the last two years, the marketing industry has emerged remarkably. The cost of acquiring the right talent and managing resources has become a significant challenge across the marketing industry. Amit's advice to all the readers is that "if you want to create a mark in this field, you need to understand the business and its changing trends very well. If you don't understand marketing, I think it won't be a viable decision to enter this industry".
He further adds, "It is all about the value you add that sets you apart, not just the service you extend. Your USP should be the value you bring to the table. If your customers see you as a mere agency, they will always refrain from reaching out to you".

Managing a business takes a lot of work and if you don't find yourself enjoying what you are doing, then maybe you should do something else.

Mr. Shiva Bhavani started Wing Communications in 2021 so they were not really impacted by the pandemic. The advantage of digital marketing is that they can have their employees work remotely. They connect virtually with them as well as with clients. The pandemic has shown them that businesses can thrive even while working in hybrid workplaces which don’t need all employeestogetherphysically.
It is convenient for startups to use multiple clouds for their technology requirements. Cloud technology has made a positive impact on enterprises, especially new startups because of its unique pay-as-you-use concept. This gives businesses the flexibility to pick only the resources they need for a limited time and pay accordingly. Today businesses are driven by AI and Machine Learning as they try to glean more information about customer behavior and try to predict their next move. This helps themtotailortheirofferings.
The digital marketing industry is a dynamic one as it is closely linked to technology which is constantly evolving. The customers are looking for a great user experience. They want a website that is easy to navigate, answers their queries, and is visually appealing. They want their questions answered honestly and prefer to go with brands that can solve their problems. So brands should focus on highlighting their offerings clearly and engaging with their target audience. They can use an assortment of digital tools like SEO, PPC, Social media, Influencer Marketing, and PR management to gettheirviewsacrossandraisebrandawareness.

One of the most photographed beaches in the world, the blinding white sands of Anse Source d’Argent unfurl across La Digue, one of the 115 islands that makes us this paradisiacal archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The beach sparkles against a backdrop of enormous granite boulders, worn by time and weather. An offshore reef provides protection from ocean waves, making turquoise water an ideal spot for swimming. Keep an eye out for endangered birds and giant tortoises!
Polihale is hands-down the Hawaiian archipelago’s most breathtakingly beautiful beach. This seemingly deserted 11 km (7 mi) stretch on the western end of Kauai, one of the world’s most scenic islands, is several miles from the nearest town and holds a vibe of enchantment and mystique, still alive in Hawaii today. The beach can only be reached via a poorly marked, dirt sugarcane road, making a four-wheel-drive vehicle preferable (check with your rental car company for restrictions before heading out).
Cape Town tops my list of the world’s most beautiful cities, not least because of the magnificent beaches on its doorstep. Camps Bay is not only Cape Town’s most popular beach, but also the only urban beach to make it into my top 10 list. Boasting blinding white sand set against the majestic backdrop of the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range and Table Mountain, Camps Bay’s water is a bit cold, due to the currents in the Atlantic Ocean, but that will not distract you from the amazing surrounding scenery and worldfamous sunsets.
Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful, sheltered bay on Thailand’s Koh Phi Phi. With a ring of white sand surrounded by mangroves and towering limestone walls blanketed by dense foliage, it’s easy to see why director Danny Boyle chose this beach for cultfavorite The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The main beach within the bay is around 200 m (650 ft) long and features silky soft white sand, with underwater colorful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.
It are not only tropical beaches whose breathtaking beauty can make one speechless. The best example is Long Beach, the longest sandy beach on Canada’s Vancouver Island, which offers eye-popping scenic views and an unmatched maritime wilderness. Located within the boundaries of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve between Tofino and Ucluelet, its 10 miles (16 km) of pristine sand are backed by lush rainforests and washed by the cool pounding surf. Twenty-thousand grey whales migrate up this coast each spring and summer.
Baio Do Sancho is situated on the remote island of Fernando de Noronha, an active volcanic archipelago of 21 islands in the Atlantic Ocean, located approximately 220 miles (350 km) off the coast of northeastern Brazil bay. Sparkling emerald water and soft white sands are surrounded by vegetation-covered 250 ft (75 m) cliffs. The beach can only be reached by boat or by foot on a dirt trail through a crack in a rock wall with a few dozen uneven, slippery-sandy steps. The beach is perfect for snorkeling
spotting rays.
Whitehaven Beach is protected by the Whitsunday Islands National Park and is located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Australia’s most famous beach stretches for 4,4 miles (7 km) and is washed by swirls of turquoise, blue and green water. The sand is 98% pure white silica, which gives it a brilliant, near-luminescent color. You can reach the beach via a helicopter or seaplane, or you can sail to Whitehaven Beach with one of the many yacht excursions in the area.
The Turks and Caicos comprise 40 islands and cays, of which Providenciales is the main tourist center. It’s here, on the northern shore, that you’ll find Grace Bay, a 19km (12 miles) paradise-perfect mix of sugary sand and transparent water, fringed by a coral reef system with fabulous snorkeling and diving. Unfortunately, an increasing number of resorts and condo hotels have sprung up along the shore in recent years, so you may be better off these days on the more private hotel beaches of Amanyara or Parrot Cay.
Navagio beach is an isolated yet strikingly beautiful sandy cove on the Greek island of Zakynthos. It is often referred to as the Shipwreck Beach because it is home to the wreck of a ship called Panagiotis which is believed to have been a smuggler's ship. The area is defined by its sheer limestone cliffs, white-sand beaches, and clear blue water, which attract thousands of tourists yearly. The strip of beach is accessed only by boat, but you can see it from above if you stand on the high side of the surrounding cliffs.
What sets Tulum apart is its proximity to some of the most stunning Mayan ruins in all of Mexico: it is here that one of the world’s best cultural destinations meets one of the world’s best beaches. Tulum’s ruin is an ancient walled city sitting on a rocky cliff that overlooks a spectacular beach. With hordes of tourists visiting every day, the area is not exactly private, but the broad stretch of white sand and mesmerizing turquoise Caribbean waters more than makeup for it.
“Don’t start a startup because it’s a trend, start a core business with clarity and profitability, or find the mental peace with your regular job and alternative investments returns, and don’t chase a stressful entrepreneur journey without backup.”- said the director of Review Adda.

Business leaders know how to balance their personal life and work. Personal growth is also important for being a good business leader for an organization or company. Leaders and Entrepreneurs are the main sole part of a company and organisations. A good leader makes a great team and organises work well. A good leader handles and manages the team. A good leader knows how to manage work and time and company.
One of the most frequently mentioned habits of those who are successful in life is organization. Such organization includes planning as well as setting priorities and goals. A good leader always makes a good team is important for an organisation. Teamwork is most important in a company and organisations. Customer satisfaction is also equally important in a business organisation and company.
Successful business leaders understand their strengths and weaknesses. They hire or obtain the best possible resources to stay focused on what they do best to grow their business. They are not afraid to delegate once they enhance their teams to ensure they can operate successfully without the owner's "24/7" presence.
Crafting a vision. The key to being a successful business leader/ Entrepreneur is to spot a trend before anyone else spots it. That is the only way you see opportunity before the rest of the herd gets there. Develop your vision and enroll your team in it.

However, a complete launch is likely to consume more time. Operational matters connected to mending viable pricing, free association of sellers between platforms, and enhanced portability of brand value are being tackled, without which ONDC’s success and capacity to entice buyers and sellers may be subdued. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal mentioned that it would bring in 60 million small storehouses onto one platform and will aid small establishments to contest with big establishments in the marketplace. At the moment, ONDC is in its experimental phase and the government has set up a nine-memberadvisorycouncil,includingNandanNilekanifromInfosysandNationalHealthAuthorityCEORSSharma, onactionsrequiredtodeviseandquickentheimplementationofONDC.
As per the report, the probable volume of the online retail market in India was $225 billion in the fiscal year 2021-22 is around 27% of the projected size of India’s retail sector and is anticipated to surge to 32% year on year over the next few years. In contrast, India’s retail sector is expected to flourish at 10%. With dynamic pricing, inventory management, and optimization of delivery cost as its pillars, ONDC attempts to renovate digital commerce and democratize the large-scale involvement of businesses. As more small merchants and vendors accept the online domain, ONDC intends to grow ecommerce penetration to 25% of all consumer purchases in the next two years, higher from about 8% currently. Within the next five years, it predicts to sign up 900 million buyers and 1.2 million sellers on the collective network, with a total marketvalueof$48billion.
ONDC is a not-for-profit organization established by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade of India. It’s a digital mandi or marketplace targeted at joining buyers, retailers, technology providers, financiers, and others involvedintradeandcommerce.ThroughONDC,traderswillbe able to conserve their data to create credit history and reach consumers. Presently, approximately 60% of e-commerce is shared between Amazon and Walmart-promoted Flipkart. ONDC aims to end this duopoly of international players and protect offline businessmen who have been weeping at the dishonesttradecustomsofthesee-tailers.
The platform will also be acquiescent to the Information Technology Act, of 2000, and shaped for compliance with the emerging Personal Data Protection Bill. ONDC plans to offer open networks for all features of exchanging goods and services over digital or electronic networks. It will act as a connection between the buyer and the seller when the demand for specific products is raised. ONDC is to be built on open-sourced methodology, utilizing open specifications and open network protocolsindependentofanypreciseplatform.
The ONDC platform remains in the center of the interfaces hosting the purchasers and the sellers. Till now, the buyer-side interfaceisbeinghostedbyPaytm,whiletheseller-sideinterface is being hosted by other players like GoFrugal. When a purchaser hunts for a product on the Paytm application from where ONDC has gone live, the app will connect to the ONDC platform, which will connect it to seller-side interfaces that will list all the entities from where the purchaser can buy the specific product. There will be many other backend associates such as logistics service providers, enterprise resource planners, ecommercestorehostingserviceproviders,etc.ontheONDC.
E-commerce in India suffers from numerous hazards. Perhaps the ONDC might suffer from the same. Firstly, although disaggregating the network effects will revitalize and catalyse competition on qualities, the influence would be restricted to ONDCmembersandwon’tbespreadtothebroadere-commerce ecosystem. Moreover, the ONDC does not have any device to stop anticompetitive conduct and it is not clear whether a networkblueprintinitwouldbeadequateincurbingallprobable anticompetitive traditions. It is also not clear whether the network strategies would also set up fences to check prospective anticompetitive attempts which may happen despite the network design.
Secondly, ONDC may experience the same drawbacks as the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Despite NPCI introducing a limit on the highest market share, a single UPI application can possess Google Pay, and PhonePe rules the market with more than 80% market share. Besides, the RBI stated that NPCI as a single machinist for several crucial retail payments systems causes concentration endangers and proposed formingvariousentitiesliketheNPCI.WhatifONDCfalloutin
the same concentration in e-commerce? How will that be unusual for Amazon and Flipkart to control the space? The ONDC may become like the NPCI by becoming a quasi-regulatory of the e-commerce segment. Because of ONDCs' legal configuration, a quasi-supervisory part will be ill-matched particularly when there is an absence of simplicity around how network policies will be crafted and which participants will contribute to their creation. Therefore, there is a need for a bright line towards the subjects sought to be handled through network strategies. In addition, the UPI is popular among sellers because it attracts zero percent Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) charges. This also indicates that those functioning in the space have lessornofinancialincentive.Forinstance,GooglePaydoesn’tstandto gain much financially. This has weakened a well-created market standard of incentives in digital payments. What if ONDC likewise deviatesincentivesine-commerce?
Thirdly, local businesses will find it very tough to compete with the discounts,sales,andotherrewardingoffers,beingprovidedbymajorecommerce players which may result in local businesses being squeezed out of the system in the long run. The achievement of the ONDC depends upon several aspects namely the effective onboarding of the current digital commerce applications and platforms, the compatibility and interoperability of the existing platforms or applications of the buyers and sellers, and the technical capability of small and medium enterprises to be onboarded on the digital network. However, the strategy paper is silent on these issues and does not lay out a road map orplanfortacklingthesematters.
Fourthly, even though the ONDC is a brilliant instance of technology trying to support competitive ecosystems, enforcement of structural supervisory remedies will not work. Structural resolutions have inherent demerits, because of their “one-size fits all tactic” which is not suitable for the array of business models seen in today’s e-commerce environment. Eventually, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) exists as an independent competition regulator to determine things on a case-by-case basis and interfere correctly after investing due resources intoexaminingandassessinganti-competitiveeffects.
As a final point, undoubtedly e-commerce in India is dominated by a few foreign tycoons. Considering the scenario, the government desires ONDC to break this monopoly. However, there are clear limitations with ONDC and it is not going to be a silver bullet. Hence, policymakers should look into the fundamental defects in the initiative andfocusonhowtoerasevariouschallengesaheadfortheplatform.
