A TREE IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS ROOTS Editor's Note

I've always found it di cult to conceive a positive outcome, when it came to educating people about the necessity to have a genderneutral outlook towards a myriad of roles, social aspects and situations. But at times I sense a hint of defensiveness in people's acceptance towards my approach. I suppose it would be safe to assume that this behaviour e m an at e s f rom a d e e ply i ng r ai n e d perspective towards gender roles and associations, since a young age.

I

have experienced, been associated to, and gained explore of a corporate setting for more than three years now. In these years all of my sociology lesson on gender bias or discrimination, gender sensitivity – its values and issues pertaining to all social settings, and the importance of holding and egalitarian outlook, have proven fruitful.

India | Entrepreneur Insights | Vol 1 | Issue 2 | November 2021

Personally – keeping aside facts and statistics – I strongly believe that the setting of a family as a social institution plays the most vital role in an individual's life. e aspects that support this belief of mine start with the values that my mother raised me with, the ways in which my father took up the responsibilities and chores of the house while teaching me its importance, how many aunt who is single Parent, raised my cousin while working in shi s, and many more instances. Sometimes I wonder how these terms and labels that create a thick wall of bias, came into existence. I've never seen my mother or my aunt putting less amount of e orts into their daily work, as compared to their male counterparts. I've never seen my father saying 'no' to any work that require helping my mother or his female colleagues. I personally have never held an option which di erentiates on the basis of gender or even considered my female peers to be anything less than equal. But this isn't just about me or someone else who has studies sociology. It is about who haven't and their acceptance towards changing a mind-set which is an old as they are. A er reading this, you might feel that this whole note somewhat pointless. I've only shared personal accounts of not being biased or my own feeling of utter despise towards the concept of gender discrimination. at is the point. I was educated about it. us leading me to believe, the only way we can eradicate this bias is through education, and that has to start at the roots.

We have got a chance to interact with her and know her struggleful journey and how she made it to be one of the most successful womenpreneurs of our nation. Here's a direct one-o-one session with Ms. Deepti Saxena.


Definition of revolution for you Since I am in client service industry, I see revolution as a phenomenon of a change or transformation that subjugate the stereotypes and establish new directives for the good of client, individual and society as a whole.

One thing do you wish you'd done differently Although, most of our decisions as a group were spot on over the years. However, having said that I wish we were a bit more prepared for the recent pandemic like situation. However, since such situation was unprecedented for almost every individual, business and even the mighty regimes, so I will take that.

How has the industry changed over the years ? e change, development and transition are key aspects of every industry, business or trade and most of the times it is in the interest of every partaker. Talking about immigration, it is one of the most inconsistent industry. Frequently changing immigration rules, policies and guidelines play a vital role in the volatile nature of this industry.

Client Base of Visas Avenue Talking about the number of enrolled clients, the brand have over 10,000 clients enrolled with Visas Avenue at now. Apart from this, thousands of our clients are already settled in countries like Canada, Australia, USA, UK, New Zealand, etc.

Biggest Challenges that you overcame: e biggest challenge that we had to face as a new Visa Consultancy Service was to deal with the exaggerated promises and over commitments being given by few sham agents and agencies active in the industry. Although, Visas Avenue is a trusted brand name in Immigration Industry today, however, to start with, it was not easy for us to build trust among the clients without making any fake commitments and promises, while some of the competitors were doing at that point. However, we stuck with our policy of being true and transparent with the clients, which gradually, but surely paid o .

Moreover, the technology has also been a key contributor in the changes in immigration over the years. Introduction of point-based immigration system by countries like, Canada and Australia has made overs eas immig rat ion much more systematic, fast and easy not only for host countries, but also for the immigration and visa applicants.

On the one hand, some exterior factors, such as, politics, extremism, con icts, etc. has restrained the immigration opportunities for the aspirants in some traditional immigration hotspots, on the other hand, it also opened the doors for the other Apart from this, as a Client Servicing Company, states to magnetize the global talent. we o en deal with several challenges, such as, compliance, Customer Ser vice, nancial management, maintaining the reputation, When it comes to the company, what are you Changing technologies, etc. Talking about the most proud of ? most recent one, maintaining the sales and At Visas Avenue, we have many stimulus factors operations successfully during the recent Global that keep us going as an organization, however, Pandemic was also a huge challenge we faced as a when it comes to picking up a single one, we take company. pride on the fact that we maintain an outstanding success rate, while ensuring the transparency in the However, bringing everyone together, keeping conduct of our business.

How do you encourage creative thinking within your organization?

The most difficult task in being in your Industry Being in the immigration industry, the most di cult task is keeping a track, decoding, and complying with the complex, new and existing immigration rules and guidelines and lodging an error free or fool proof visa application that ensures the muchneeded visa approval for the client.

At Visas Avenue, we have created a system and environment for innovative thinking and operation. I have facilitated a workculture wherein all team members are encouraged to come up with unorthodox, but equally e ective ideas. While communicating with the team, I always emphasize on this mantra to research, observe, learn, assess and then come up with an idea of your own.

What do you do when you are not at work ?

Future endeavours of Visas Avenue

When I am not at work, I prefer to keep myself engaged in spiritual activities, such as, practicing meditation or yoga, spending quite time alone (i.e. self-awareness or Dhyana), and more such activities that can help me develop my spiritual wellness and understanding.

We had many plans ready, which we had to delay due to the recent pandemic. However, as the things are gradually getting back on track, we are planning to implement work upon few plans. Primarily, to regain the status of our earlier sales and operation as soon as possible, as the same got a ected marginally due to the unfortunate pandemic caused circumstances. Moreover, expanding our branch network and enhancing the list of our products and services in months to come.

When it comes to WEAMSE, what are you most proud of

Encouraging creative thinking within the WEAMSE At WEAMSE, we create a concrete culture of assurance and integrity in the workplace. We provide independent mentoring to each employee subjectively. We believe that a good work environment is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on employee's personal as well as their professional lives.

Advice from Anjala Jose to all our readers Don't be hesitant to make mistakes and see them as an opportunity to learn. Be always circled by encouraging people and learn from them each moment. Connect with like-minded people. I cannot skip the word "hard work" neither

We have assisted brands to grow from market stalls to seven- gure businesses. I love escorting our team to reach new altitudes and handle each new challenge with elegance and courage. Whenever I see a message from a returning customer, I feel glad to meet them again and happily provide them better service each day. Not giving up when most people might have (and did ) has gotten us pretty far. I think exibility and staying strong are incredibly valuable features in our industry. I believe in continuous growth and improvement. We are always trying to learn new things, improve ourselves. I also think it is essential not to undervalue the element of opportunity

When a woman is involved in a business entirely, she must be ready to prove oneself. She has to strike a balance between working late nights; complete tasks on time and at the same time take care of her home and family as well. It is about proving oneself every time, at every step and in any circumstances. Be true to what you are doing and success will join you soon.

What do you do when you are not at work

Anjala's favorite quote:

When I am not working, I spend most of the time with my family. My day starts with Yoga which helps me keep motivated throughout the day. I have priorities for each day and schedule my tasks accordingly to keep me out of stress and maintain a work-life balance. I enjoy the outdoors and it helps me reboot for the rest of the days.

THE FACE BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF WHITE APPLE

A

self-starter and an avid learner, Ms. Shruti is the founder of White Apple that caters to creative entrepreneurs' media needs. A er she graduated from IMS Indore, Shruti went to work for Lombard General Insurance. But she was destined to do something di erent, something that she loves at the core of her heart.

Her experience in the lm industry spans many years. She has been a VFX Producer in Hollywood movies like; Transformers, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Star Wars, and more.

Pushing technological boundaries to create realistic, fantastic images complete with hybrid creatures, digital characters, and entire worlds. As an artist, your talent is what drives you, but nding an a ordable way to make a living can be di cult. Ms. Shruti of White Apple is a rm believer in talent over degrees; however, she does believe that the right balance between both can be e ective. 21

"Like it or not, you are at the helm, and you are responsible for its success or failure. e only thing standing between you and your dreams is the shi of an employee who was holding you back from achieving your goals", adds Ms. Shruti.

HOW WHITE APPLE IS INSTILLING CREATIVITY AMONG ITS EMPLOYEES ? In increasingly competitive times, companies need to work harder than ever to stay one step ahead of their competition.

About Style Tangent & Lifebook How it started Having donned diverse leadership roles globally for 14 years in the corporate sector, her job experience gave her ample opportunity to realize how portraying the right image was critical in the success of an individual be it at any designation. It was tragic to observe that many a time their rst impression was their biggest barrier. is observation changed her trajectory totally. She began mentoring such candidates and groomed them, helping them land their dream jobs or job promotions. What started as a gesture to help individuals turned into her passion and profession when she realized that playing a catalyst in transforming people's lives was what she was meant to do. It gave her the kind of ful llment and soul satisfaction that she had never experienced earlier. She quit her job when right at the peak in her career to plunge deep into what was her calling.

DR POOJA

ARORA

Nutritionist and Healthcare Consultant (ISSA,USA) DR. POOJA ARORA IS ON A MISSION TO

SPREAD THE MAGIC OF A

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. She says, the strong will to eliminate the root cause of health issues has led her to leave her settled profession of being a doctor to diverse her career to a nutritionist. For her diet is all about Diet- Eating Right+ Leading Healthy Lifestyle. Dr. Pooja Arora worked for 8-10 years with some renowned hospitals. While practicing medicine she realized that medicine is secondary, she needs to treat to end the cause rst. She believes that a doctor should concentrate on improving the ill lifestyle of people. at is when she le her well-settled career and started to pursue several nutrition-related courses and gradually shi ed her profession to a nutritionist. She is holding ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) & IHFA (International Health & Fitness Association) Certi cations in Sports Nutrition.

About the Organization Giving a healthy lifestyle is the main goal of Dr. Pooja Arora's clinic. e clinic has been running for the last 5 years year 2017. All the sta s are well-trained to follow the guidelines and provide personal attention to each client. e sta s inspire the clients to lead a better lifestyle with a healthy diet plan. Recently we got to interact with Dr. Pooja Arora and know her story in her version: What have been the biggest challenges you've had to overcome e main challenge that I faced was breaking the notions of weight loss.

In short, all that gives them the con dence to lead a happy life.

What style did you adopt e style that I adopted is providing a customized diet plan that one can follow for his/her entire lifetime. And here diet includes food, exercise, daily routine, sleep pattern, etc. So, the rule that I follow is not to keep any set pattern. My rst step while treating a client/patient is to understand their behavior, their mindset, and their capability to control their cravings and follow a strict regime. Based on that I suggest them a sustainable diet plan which they carry for their whole life. What does revolution mean to you For me, revolution is transforming the mindset of people from the age-old notions of dieting while starving or depriving themselves of good food and controlling their taste buds. Another aspect is also there where people get cautious and run to the nutritionists when they get some health alarms due to any disorders. But this should not be the case, the revolution will occur when people will start caring for themselves and maintain a healthy lifestyle from the beginning and thus can inherit the same among their children.


How has the industry changed over the years ere are 2 sets of industries, one is endangering the lives of people and the other is the saviour. e harmful one is the food industry rigorously i nt ro du c i ng t a st y a s we l l a s unhealthy junk food. ese food items include various kinds of Carcinogens. Whereas, the tness and health industry are acting as the saviours. ey are constantly working towards developing a healthy lifestyle for people.

Tell us about The client base. Time has changed, and now people are getting conscious and trying to have a better healthy lifestyle, so in that case, we are lucky to have such a set of clients who are already educated and thus come to us to maintain a healthy diet. But there are also such a set of people who ignore their health until they get some major health issues. e lazy sect of people believes in popping medicines rather than pushing themselves hard towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Now, we are targeting these people through several health-related educational campaigns. We are lucky to transform thousands of lives and, now we are progressing towards increasing our success number.

India | Entrepreneur Insights | Vol 1 | Issue 2 | November 2021

When it comes to the company, what are you most proud of We are proud of the system that we are following towards educating people to maintain good health. We ensure strict follow-ups regularly so that clients do not face any issues while following the diet regime. And we feel proud that we have a satis ed customer base who have obtained a transformed life by following our diet program. What do you do when you are not at work I love to spend my time in the lap of nature. When I am not at work, I go out and take a stroll at the riverside and beach area. It gives me immense pleasure and calms down my body and soul.

What is the best advice you can give to our readers Losing excess weight must be one criterion of maintaining good health, so one must target towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle which includes a well-nutritional wholesome diet, good sleep, proper exercise.

What have been the biggest challenges you've had to overcome? In today's corporate world women nd it di cult to survive as the men don't allow them to ourish in their careers. But I was lucky enough that I got a great family where I was allowed to get into the family business. Being a married woman tting into the family business and creating exponential growth was challenging in the beginning. But I am happy that I have accepted this challenge and kept a sound balance between my personal and professional life. What does revolution mean to you? In this golden age of globalization, digitalization, and start-up booms, India is seeing a revolution for women entrepreneurs. As per the Central Government census, 14 % of the total entrepreneurship in India is contributed by Women Entrepreneurs, which I believe is still low. If we talk about equality between men and women then I guess the contribution should also be the same by both. Today every woman should take lead for herself. Each time a woman stands up for herself, possibly without knowing it or without claiming it she stands up for the whole women fraternity. So, for me, Revolution is that every woman should ght with the fear, the rigidity, and the limitations of herself and give herself the con dence, the wings to y in the sky of success.
