Providing Innovative Solutions Towards Enabling A Digital Society

he benefits of going digital are many. Reduced cost, improved efficiency, greater convenience and increased customer satisfaction to name a few. No wonder, 85% of CIOs across the globe are planning to spend up to a quarter of their total budget on digital transformation going forward. But what is the success rate of such kind of lengthy and costly endeavor? A mere 16% say a recent IBM survey. But what is the reason for this unfortunate condition? As per Mr. V Srinivasan, Chairman, eMudhra, this trickles down to two main reasons. “One is that most businesses, owing to the breadth of implementation, often end-up incorporating only the ‘digital skins,’ i.e., only the front-end that the customer sees and interacts is digital, whereas the backend that is supposed to be driving engine isn’t really digital with still a large reliance on paper, which is unacceptable. The other is that CIOs across the globe are used to delinking security and digital transformation. As a result of this, not enough effort is put into designing or implementing a comprehensive security system that can augment digital transformation and ensure that they reap in all the rewards. The fact that 31% of companies have already experienced cyber-attacks on operational technology infrastructure in one form or the other is a vindication of this notion,” he explains.

Born out of an idea to bridge the digital divide, eMudhra has taken upon itself to plug these gaps and aid in seamless and most importantly, secure digital transformation. Through their innovative suite of PKI powered solutions, eMudhra strives to help companies take care of the authentication woes and implement a complete digital ecosystem.

AN OCEAN OF DIGITAL SOLUTIONS As a licensed Certifying Authority with presence across multiple countries, eMudhra has positioned itself uniquely to drive digital transformation across the globe. With innovative offerings such emAS, emSigner and emCA, the company is adding wings to the ‘Secure Digital World’ dream. emAS, eMudhra’s identity and authentication engine, is the answer to authentication woes that is haunting businesses across the globe. The innovative offerings supports over 15 modes of authentication including digital signature, allowing banks and other enterprises to quickly and securely place centralized identity, access, single sign-on and authentication system that promotes secure logins into various online applications. eMudhra’s flagship signature and digital workflow management solution, emSigner, is driving complete paperless transformation

of enterprises. This solution uses legally valid electronic and digital signatures to help enterprises to quickly go paperless and save up to 80% on operating costs. Finally, there is emCA, which is a robust, standards compliant, fully scalable policy driven digital certificate issuance and management solution. Leveraging latest asymmetric cryptography technology, this innovative offering supports seamless provisioning, deployment and management of Digital Signature Certificates for individual users, companies and devices, thereby facilitating secure identity, access and authorization management. The company also provides eSign 3.0 services, which offer users a new and innovative way to quickly sign documents using electronic signatures generated relying on an offline e-KYC mechanism. In fact, eMudhra is one of the first licensed e-Signature Service Providers (ESP) in India to roll out the new eSign services.

A REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE A combination of the above solutions can empower many interesting use cases. One such use case revolves around the use of eMudhra’s stack to digitize and streamline the end-to-end process of managing, signing and storing the Employment Eligibility Verification Form, also known as I-9 forms, for a leading IT company operating in the US. The current process of completing Section 1 and Section 2 of the Form I-9 was very complicated, paper intensive and time-consuming. To complete Section 1, the newly hired employee had to take a print out of the I-9 form, manually fill in all the details, attest all the supporting documents, and physically add a signature in all the pages of the I-9 form as well as the supporting documents. To make matters worse, they had to complete the entire process within the first day of joining the new job. Same was the case with the HR department of the IT company. They only had three days to thoroughly verify all the details presented by the employee, manually fill Section 2 of the I-9 form as per the details provided by the employee and add signatures in all the pages of the form to validate their authenticity. Also the fact that they had to deploy additional resources to scan and upload documents into the electronic employment confirmation system — E-Verify — operated by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to run employment eligibility checks was not helping the cause.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition | September 2019 | INDIA

[ 12 ]

The IT company thus wanted to take the complexity out of this process by digitizing the entire process and providing provisions to electronically sign all the documents using US eSign Act complaint e-signatures (both with regards to the newly hired employee and the HR department of the employer) and approached eMudhra in search of an answer. “We went about devising a two-step process to help the IT company achieve their objective,” says Mr. Saiprasad, VP – Enterprise Products & Delivery. “The first part involved setting up of an Enterprise CA for issuing US eSign Act complaint e-Signatures when a Create or Generate Signature request is raised by the newly hired employee or the HR department of the company. eMudhra used their proprietary PKI solution, emCA, for this process and stored all the generated e-Signatures in a secure DB for later use. The second part involved digitalizing the entire workflow and including provisions to sign documents using electronic signatures generated in the above process. emSigner, eMudhra’s new age paperless solution, met this need to the tee. Using this innovative paperless office solution, the IT company was able to seamlessly digitize all the documents and enable the newly-hired employees as well as the HR team to not only add legally valid e-Signatures but also time-stamp all the documents without any fuss. It helped ensure the client reduce the turnaround times associated with the process by over 60%. Further, it also helped the client save a lot of money on document storage, retention, and associated liabilities,” he explains.

THE KEY DIFFERENTIATOR The reputation of eMudhra is not built in a day. The growing list of clientele, which has leapfrogged to reach over 2000 SME’s and large enterprises — which includes 20+ government organizations (state level, central level, and international), 45+ banks including top 20 banks in India, 30+ MNCs, several Fortune 100 companies — is a testament to their passion and commitment to deliver the best. Talking about the same, Mr. Srinivasan says, “We are unlike another company in the industry.” “Focused on excellence and innovation, we have now reached a point where we can see the results of our efforts and hard work from the recognition of digitization initiatives in India and eMudhra as an enabler. Further, our team members occupy reputed positions in global association such as the Asia PKI Consortium, India

PKI Consortium, UN CEFACT, Associate FIDO Alliance, and Cloud Signature Consortium,” he concludes.

GLOBAL VISION Continuing their upward trajectory of growth, the company aims to expand their reach and venture into new territories. To this regard, eMudhra has already laid the foundation through 5 global offices and a channel network spanning nearly 40 countries. Further, some of the products have also undergone relevant upgrades to support multiple languages and regional business nuances. The company is planning to strongly focus on expanding their footprints in Latin America and Europe in the coming year. With an aggressive global agenda, strong solution suite, and optimal positioning, eMudhra is one of the few Indian product companies making an impact in the global digital transformation space.

These are the testing times when you, as a leader can outperform. You need to take that ownership, make changes to it instead of initiating denunciation or anxiety mode.

Some of the renowned entrepreneurs have administrative styles and leadership styles that can motivate billions across the globe and they are among those who have made some of the ultimate businesses of all time. In order to be an effective entrepreneur, both these roles of being a manager and a leader are enormously decisive despite seeming contradictory at times. It is similar to an expert who has become proficient in the game of chess. So, how would you describe yourself- a good manager, a great leader or both?

BCM Review Business Connect Team Whilst commencing any work we are in the startup phase. Countless inputs and efforts are invested to take the voyage from the Initial phase to the Growth phase. Similarly, in the business world, numerous efforts are required to just start the business. The building of clientele and winning the trust of clients over the products and services. The financial requirement is the aid through which a business empire can be built. In this phase, the entrepreneurs and the employees ought to sit together for taking collaborative decisions. When the company or business starts picking up the pace, a sense of confidence is developed. A little stability and growth are seen whilst moving from the start-up to the growth zone. There are several attributes, which we need to keep in mind:

Delegation of responsibilities: When the business is growing then it becomes quintessential for everyone to be more responsible. So, upper-level management ought to delegate responsibilities to the workforce. During the startup phase, the company has figured out the best talent, the skills of the employees, and the employees who need a push. During the growth phase, each employee now needs to be responsible and delegated with more responsibilities. This is done in order to make them feel more independent and decisive. Efficient Management: A proper management needs to be formed during this stage. It’s because during the starting phase everything was haphazard; no systematic process was there. Gradually, when the company starts to progress towards the growing phase then it becomes essential to manage the people. A proper hierarchical management ought to be formed, which will simplify the work and reduces the responsibility of CEO’s and other top level managers. If a proper management is not there at different levels then no proper and efficient execution of work can happen. People who are working since the start of the company need to be delegated with some senior level authorities so that they feel a sense of importance. It’s indispensable to hire HR’s and other upper level managers as the number of employees are increasing. It becomes ultra-important to track the performance of each employee, their strengths and weaknesses, appreciating and rewarding schemes, their support system, problems, and how to motivate them to move ahead in the organization. Additionally, for the deserving employees, organizing a multitude of promotional strategies so that they can lead the people efficiently and smartly. For the employees who are slow in their progress, try to lend a helping hand to them. The sound management system plays an indispensable role in the growth and progress of the organization.

HOW TO REACH THE GROWTH PHASE FROM THE

STARTUP PHASE www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition | September 2019 | INDIA

[ 18 ]

Data: At the initial stage, the number of employees is less, the clientele is also not very vast, so there is no requirement to organize the data in the records; this can be done manually. During the growing phase, the dimensions of the company is expanding so it becomes quite necessary to maintain the data records related to multiple works in the system. Companies ought to hire data analysts and administrators to carry the process forward. Now, everything needs to be recorded in the tabular format so that data can be fetched easily, and the work can be completed on time. Maintenance of log records, number of projects allocated to employees, dates of deadlines, delivery dates, etc. need a cognizance and ought to be properly recorded. Therefore, now the employees should be proficient in data handling and management.

If the data is not recorded well and left unorganized then the ambiguity will be caused, which would definitely going to hamper the operations of the company.

Management of Employees: As the organization is growing, the number of employees is multiplying. So, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required to effectively manage the employees. As there are many old employees associated with the company, and also there is an entry of fresh employees, in this case it becomes essential to guide the old employees to synchronize and adapt with the freshly recruited team. The other point is the opportunities; every employee works for the growth so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the responsibility of the upper level management to take care of their growth and development. There are many policies related to employees, which require an attention. Increment polices, to make sure whether the employees are ethical towards organization, their problems, how to make them independent, etc. managers need to look at all these. To cross the growth phase and move towards the stability stage, persistent efforts in the direction of making each employee independent and efficient becomes the key.

As they embarked on the journey, they set ambitious goals - to cater to the challenging digital needs of Fortune 500 companies - which were realised with resounding success. This boosted their confidence and motivated them to push their limits. [ 24 ]

Initially, their major sources of revenue were technology outsourcing projects from renowned advertising agencies across the globe. But, soon the company outgrew being an outsourcing partner, and started focusing on building their own intellectual properties and proprietary products like Reviewlattice and Livelattice. It has had explosive growth, building centres of excellence in eight countries. The eight offices are located in India, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Macedonia, the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates. Codelattice is strengthened by its offshore development centers in India and Macedonia. Its mission is to be an innovative solutions provider to bridge international business communities across the world through competitive technology and transformative products.

Constructive Hobbies Are The Essential Need For The Entrepreneurs Only work cannot satisfy thy soul. This is a mere truth. Human beings need fun to live to the fullest. For peace and calmness, a sort of rejuvenation is required. The methods can be different or varied person-to-person, but the purpose is the same. Mostly biggies or business tycoons are engaged in one or more kinds of recreational activities to create a symphony between professional and personal life. The balance ought to be created to avoid disruption and chaos. Hobbies or pastimes become the need of an hour! They not only relax us but also offer a multitude of incredible benefits. For an entrepreneur, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite necessary to have a hobby. This will quadruple the probability of success and progression.

Business Connect Team The graph of success will take an increasing leap. Businessmen like Ratan Tata, Bill Gates, Mukesh Ambani, etc. have developed hobbies to make their busy and hectic lives more fulfilling. Constructive hobbies ought to be developed by the entrepreneurs for stepping up the ladder of success due to a multitude of reasons. The reasons are enlisted below:

Creativity- Undoubtedly, developing a hobby will corre-

spondingly enhance creativity. For example, if you like to read then reading various genres will tremendously increases thy imagination and creativity. I have seen people at great positions, who have a habit of reading for one or two hours before going to bed. Their thought process becomes quite distinctive from others. They develop an out-of-the-box thinking approach. Hence, entrepreneurs in critical situations or making an important decision will utilize their creative approach.

Boost up the Concentration level- When we give our conscious attention to an activity then there are least chances to get diverted so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply amazing to tie yourself with your favorite activity for some time in a day or week. For example, swimming for one hour in a day will reduce the stress level to a great extent, and pushes your brain to focus on the activity. This automatically boosts attention level and helps you to do your day to day work with more finesse and cognizance.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition | September 2019 | INDIA

[ 26 ]

Switching off from the Routine Work- Doing the same work repeatedly whether it’s an office work, house hold one or studies, it makes our life monotonous and dead. Dealing with daily stress of deadlines in office or goal to be achieved, the persons needs methods for detoxification. Switching off from the usual routine, it’s quite essential to engage yourself with a hobby. Reduce Stress Levels- When you do what you like then it refreshes thou soul, and correspondingly reduces stress to a great extent. For example, dancing is an activity that touches your heart and you genuinely like to give precious time to it. It releases a lot of endorphins and increases the levels of serotonin. Thereby our day to day stress is reduced to a great extent. Psychotherapists recommend people to develop hobbies, which decrease the anxieties and tension, and this helps people to live a stress-free life. Enhance your skills- It’s a fact that when you indulge in an activity that you love like reading, writing, gardening, painting, etc. then it makes you talented in various skills. If you are an avid reader then you become expert in language, your writing skills will be enhanced, communication will be improved, and you become quite informative. For an entrepreneur, it is always required to learn new skills so that they can apply them in business. [ 27 ]

Benefits your Health- When you do any fun-filled activity then

it will surely make cells of your body rejoice. This, in turn, provides a great health benefits. For example, if your hobby is to play football then for the obvious reasons, it helps to stretch your muscles and releases all tension. It will keep you physically as well as mentally fit. From such a hectic slot hobby is a portal through which you can explore and be fit.

More Happiness to Life- Hobbies add a newer perspective to life.

They help to reduce the anxieties, and add more years to life. Reading a novel of a favorite author calms my senses, and brings a happiness to this busy life. It just provides peace to my senses. Consequently, happiness depends on the things you like. Stepping out of Comfort zone- Trying new activities, which you have not done before provides extreme freedom and confidence. This helps you to come out of the comfort zone and without any fear do the activity. These were some of the points, which describe constructive hobbies for the entrepreneurs.

Homemade and Handmade Natural Skin Care Products from MOUNTAIN HERBS ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES OF 2019 Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect Our sacred nature has countless benefits which we are all aware of. For thousands of years, human beings have used plant, flower and root extracts to cleanse, heal and beautify the skin. Along with material progress came along the growth of chemical-based skincare products that are harmful to the skin and toxic to the body in the long term.

In the recent past, due to higher awareness, people have taken a renewed interest in understanding the chemical ingredients in their skincare products and have turned back to nature and are shifting to natural and herbal products. Regi Abraham’s passion for natural products, led him to research to make his soap and other body washes products, both free from harsh chemicals and animal products. He along with his wife Susanna Abraham, a teacher by profession, founded ‘Mountain Herbs’ to manufacture 100% natural and pure skincare products, which are ‘Toxin-free’ and beneficial to health. Mountain Herbs was established in 2015, with the launch of natural handmade body soaps. The initial customers’ response was very encouraging and hence the couple launched a few more products. Presently, they have nine successful and high-quality toxin-free products. All their products are made from high-quality vegetable oils such as coconut oil, rice bran oil, Palm oil, etc. All essential raw materials are extracted from natural sources and that’s the reason all their products are natural, pure and free from toxins. The Origin of Mountain Herbs Skin is the largest and most delicate organ of the human body, and Dermal Absorption is the reason for the absorption of toxic substances through the skin. Regi realized that the frequently used products such as dish wash, laundry wash, hair wash, body wash, and body moisturizer, etc. are the main source of toxins in our body. To find a natural solution, Regi and Susanna worked hard for many months and years to experiment and make the right formulas for making skincare products with raw materials extracted from nature, and this led to the founding of Mountain Herbs.

Standing Apart from the competitors: The Company stands out from the crowd in various aspects. The products they manufacture are made from carefully selected natural herbs and pure vegetable oils. Each product is crafted in small batches to guarantee freshness and dyed with natural herbs, and the products contain no animal-derived ingredients, harsh ingredients, chemical preservatives, and chemical fragrance. The manufacturing process retains vital nutrients and allows the natural benefits to remain in their products. Freshness, quality ingredients, and gentle processing, all contribute to an exceptional product that is appreciated by the customers.

into creating a truly natural body-care product line. They spent three years in testing various soap recipes and fine-tuning the formula for the soap with the right consistency in quality with the right design and packaging.

The skincare products are guaranteed to be free from toxins, which are harmful to the body and cause allergy to the skin. The Company has a strict ‘policy against using chemical ingredients such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Chemical Fragrances, Chemical Preservatives, Polysorbate 20, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Potassium Sorbate, Dimethicone, and Parabens. The Unbreakable Faith The policy of total disclosure of ingredients helps customers to trust them. Mountain Herbs encourages their customers to make an informed decision after studying the ingredients of their skincare products. Consistent process to manufacture high-quality products has resulted in 100% customer satisfaction and repeat purchases. Overcoming Adversity After being laid off from his corporate job in a software firm, Regi joined an NGO which was run by a friend. But after some time due to financial constraints in the NGO, his job was reduced to a part-time gig. This turned out to be an opportunity in disguise as the spare time allowed Regi to consider other pursuits. This was an epiphany for him when he decided to follow his entrepreneurship call and started a home-based small business with a purpose to make a difference. The entrepreneur’s passion for natural products led him to do in-depth research to make his soap and other body wash products, which were free from harsh chemicals and animal products. Along with Susanna, they started making soap in their kitchen on a small scale. The initial capital available was just enough for buying a stainless steel mixing kettle, few large plastic jars, and the two basic ingredients needed for soap making–oils and sodium hydroxide.

Regi Abraham Founder

Giving Back to Society Mountain Herbs is committed to supporting the underprivileged and giving back to society. They supply free soaps to students of a tribal school in Himachal Pradesh and educate them to create awareness of natural products among the next generation. They also plan to conduct a seminar for children on natural soap making. Talking about its achievements, Mountain Herbs was featured on the cover page of “Silicon India Magazine” as one of the 10 most promising organic/ natural skincare product companies in 2019.

For manufacturing their products and designing products’ packaging, they had to design and built their sealing and cutting machines along with jigs to automate part of the soap making and packaging process. The low initial start-up cost was counterbalanced by a considerable amount of time, labor, and love that went

Products Availability Mountain Herb’s products are available on its website www.mountainherbs.in with discounts and free shipping. Products can also be purchased from e-Commerce platforms like Amazon, Qtrove, The Better India, Vvegano, etc.

What Makes a Successful Entrepreneur?

PERSEVERANCE

PERSISTENCE Business Connect Team

We all have heard this particular question, and it is often asked that, “What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur?” In my opinion, the successful entrepreneurship is a combination of these two things:

Perseverance Persistence Let’s go through them.

“Perseverance” and “Persistence” are two basic concepts of the most important traits for every entrepreneur business needs to develop, in order to push themselves as passing the obstacles of success it is most important too perceive the persistence. You could have the best, most exciting product or service in the world of your business, but you’re still going to need a boatload boost of perseverance to sell it.

Take Actions

“The difference between any successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs is action”. Every Successful entrepreneurs, always know that if they just keep taking actions and also tweaking their approach, so they can create the best results they want. An Unsuccessful entrepreneur will always talk about what they want to do and wanted to make —but he always end up talking and never end up taking the action, which are needed to support that vision. Similarly, the Persevering, here implies to the “action taking approach”. When a person encountered a setback, instead of letting themselves dwell on the problem, then the actions speak more than thinking. Only Perseverance and Persistence can make an Actionoriented entrepreneurs, to learn from their setbacks so that they can use themselves as fuel for their next approach.

What separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.’’ - Steve Jobs

Learning Ability

I am sharing few steps towards successful Entrepreneur:-

Most of the people thinks that, the learning ideas stops, when they will be graduated from university and earned their degree’s certification, but only getting a piece of degree paper is not the everything you got . Education and everyday learning is a lifelong process. One must stay focused and updated with all changes in the evolution of their industry technology, sales processes and more. Hereby, an entrepreneurship always seek new knowledge. More than that, look for the most successful people in your industry and do not be afraid to ask for their opinions or advice.

Listening Ability

No one can simply manage a great team, or provide a great customer service. If the person is not an effective communicator then communication is a two-way street. Additionally, in order to communicate outwardly in an efficient manner, one must pay a better attention to others’ and focused on - motivations, hot buttons, interests and more. Other thing that must be aware of, non-verbal cues, for example - body language. You should avoid coming off as being self-promotional or vain, and avoid striving to show that, you are helpful and interested in others.

Creativity and Mind-set

If any person is always focused and do the same things for the business, then you very likely not enjoy yourself and new and better results gets away from you. A person must almost try new things to find what works for them best. One also need to enrich their life with new experiences regularly. This can be something simple and talking to new people or taking a personal interest class. Every experience that one enhance can lead to new opportunities that, you previously did not have for you with different approach of mind-set and creativity.

Ambition It is always easy to give up on something, when the ongoing of that thing gets tougher, but the most successful entrepreneurs can persist that situation because of their ambitious nature. They simply hunger the success, and they thrive on reaching their small milestones, that are stepping stones to their major goal and makes them highly ambitious. When a person is highly ambitious, then it is internally drive them to work hard, and makes them committed to doing what it takes to make their business a success. Generally, a person will never look for shortcuts of success and will become willingly strong to put in the best of their time to get their job done in a right manner.

Take the Responsibility Most of the people, faced the problem that tend to slip into a victim mentality and then they neglect taking responsibility for their situations, and then don’t think about how they might be able to improve that victimized situation. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. And In order to persevere, yourself you need to take all the responsibility for your own success or failure in the business. Whatever actions you can take is matters to get whatever you want. Sometimes, it can be very scary to take your responsibility for everything in your life, but it is the only best way to persevere through the toughest journey of entrepreneurship. Once you will start taking responsibility, you take back control - and you can do anything. [ 31 ]

While, the company operates on suchfootsteps, whichis one of the first start-up companies in India to incorporate and advanced technologies in any field and this frowned to their hand.

There are other million things that he needs to focus as a CEO, including motivating others, setting new strategies, and manage financial flow.. challenging part is sometimes you need to stick on to the situations in which you have to convince everyone around you when you yourself are not sure. CEO’s do not have any scripts and set of rules on which they have to define themselves, but they struggle accordingly to obscure every hurdle around them. Consequently, as the business is growing, a CEO also needs to make sure that he and his teammates grow in the career and they become one of the best among all Company grows faster when your employees internally invest the best practises. The future ‘plan’ starts today, not tomorrow. Carve their name from a middle-class family, Mr.Pednekar had a keen interest in the business from the school time.

The experience and time he invested, has helped him to grow the business sense more stronger and deeper. He never let his instinct die of any situation he makes it a point to be in touch with all his employees, influence them and his one downs, whenever he has free time he makes a point to invest that time in building new strategies and best practices in office For now, he wants to invest his time, resource and efforts in bringing the best out of young entrepreneur who hail from poor families and cant afford funding, he is keen tp extend his hands to get them up and give a boost to their ideas by his wisdom.

Luxury & Lifestyle Marketing Is Heed To Delineate, Originality, Exclusivity And Quality Above All Where there is no struggle, there is no strength Oprah Winfrey

Sugandh Bahl | Business Connect ne doesn’t simply get the privilege to follow the art of luxury and lifestyle without any effort. Luxury lifestyle comes itself by inherited from the three real-life magical ingredients such as time, income and travel.

Time waits for none and hence fruitfully utilizing your every second in life can earn you luxury plus Income in no time. Hence, in order to continue the pleasures of luxury lifestyle marketing “Platoon Advisory Pvt Ltd” values time the most. PLATOON prompts your Brand’s category to moderate their tastes in accordance with changing (increasing) marketing trends. PLATOON is a subdivision of a company of soldiers, usually forming a tactical unit that is commanded by a lieutenant. This unit is formed by elite Special Forces that give important and tactical information to the main Army from the base of action. They are in essence the INTEL unit for the main Army. PLATOON is an ode to Neha’s military heritage of 2 generations. The Transfiguration in Start-ups and Discrete from clients PLATOON believes that they are the only strategic partners in the Industry that provide coherent Marketing Strategies to build, sustain and grow businesses. Their strength lies in Revolutionizing Businesses through the setting of long term goals clearly laid out for the Business Partners. Luxury & Lifestyle Retail industry is relatively a new concept in India. Hence, the team & people managing it are relatively inexperienced with a body of work. Like all other industries in the market, this industry is also undergoing rapid changes and need partners like PLATOON for their growth. The struggle for life created Empathy Nothing worth it comes easy. For Neha Lidder, the Founder & Director of The Most Innovative Companies of 2019, she personally thinks that she was doing really well in highly respected profile of being the Marketing Head for DLF Luxury Retail & Hospitality. To leave her comfort zone and a very senior position (AVP Marketing for DLF Luxury Retail & Hospitality) to follow her passion of working with different categories of brands and constantly innovate with them was a brave move. It took a lot of self-belief and farsightedness for her to be able to make this bold decision. [ 40 ]

Having said that, PLATOON was very warmly received by the industry. With the experience that their team and Neha have, the relationships they have built in the industry makes them the remarkable name as a Most Innovative company. They have been able to hit the ground running and work on brilliant projects from the inception of the company. Clients are the key person to maintain faith They are a Luxury marketing consultancy and their personal experience in the market has also been in varied industries starting from a Luxury Airline to a leading Luxury Brand, Telecom and then Luxury Retail and Hospitality. However, they have been able to work with different clients like a confectionery brand, luxury digital platform, national magazine, a slow fashion apparel brand and many more. One of their most prized projects has to be a small brand book, which they curated for one of the leading International luxury brand such as -Louis Vuitton. Neha and her team of troopers consider all their clients as partners. From the word go, they build a relationship that seems like an extension to the team and not a client-agency relation, which has been Neha’s working style for years. Here are a few basic rules that they work on: • Pay genuine attention to the brief given • Speak the truth and Never promise unrealistic expectations • Communicate exceptionally and respond in a timely manner • Be reliable • Go above and beyond wherever possible • Ask for feedback Miss. Lidder, runs the team very professionally and strongly believes that communication, responsive behavior and the right attitude, adds value to their client’s faith. The rapport that they build with their clients makes them remarkable in future business. The changing market trends and R&D PLATOON Advisory believes that change is the only constant in this world. This is particularly true in marketing, where the very tempo of change is constantly quickening. Their strategy to keep growing in such an environment is Embracing Technology, learn to live with Ambiguity, Uncertainty, Develop skills and keep learning that keeps them growing. Neha believes that the only way one can survive and thrive in this fast-changing world is by innovating and it is the R&D function that provides a platform for creativity and innovation to flourish in an organization. Innovative breakthroughs have happened only because of painstaking efforts invested in the R&D function. [ 41 ]

It not only helps a business to have a competitive edge over its competitors but also helps in analyzing fullbacks and develop plans that are more sustainable for the future since it acts as a catalyst for speeding up the growth of the organization. Some companies are leaders, while others are followers. PLATOON believes that to be two steps ahead of everyone in the industry, R&D is essential. The remarkable trust of employees in the company Just as Sir Richard Branson, Founder Virgin Group and Neha’s mentor with whom she has had the great privilege of working and learn under his mentorship for many years, said: “It should go without saying, if the person who works at your company is 100 percent proud of the brand and you give them the tools to do a good job and they are treated well, they’re going to be happy,”. When companies focus on employees first, “effectively, in the end, shareholders do well, the customers do better, and your staff remains happy.” For PLATOON, keeping their team happy and motivated is how they always functioned. It is imperative to ensure that they feel equally driven and encouraged them to be more productive and efficient. To ensure their well-being, PLATOON Advisory follows the belief that we are as good as the people we hire and nurture. By cultivating a strong corporate culture, one can increase the chances that your team will be productively engaged - which is important since happy employees are more likely to be great advocates for your brand and consistently go above and beyond.
