What are some of the features that a prospective employee looks out for in an organization? Salary is obviously one of the prime concerns but not the most tempting one. So what is it? Many surveys have revealed that a good workplace is one of the most sought after things. An organization full of vigor and vivacity makes an employee gel with the organization in a very short span of time. Most of the times, it is found that the lack of satisfaction erupting from an unsatisfied work culture becomes a major reason for quitting a job. It becomes quite necessary for the companies to maintain a work environment that is cordial and healthy. In due time, one is meant to work with the people in an environment that is devoid of any sort of negativity. “Every generation brings something new to the workplace, and millennial are no exception. As a group, they tend to be highly educated, love to earn and, grew up with the internet and digital tools in a way that can be highly useful when leveraged properly.” – Kathryn Minshew In recent times, we have come to witness a new wave of work culture where companies are leaving no stone unturned in their attempt to provide a lively environment.

Education as we know today remains an unapproachable right for millions of children around the world. The literacy rate globally isn’t very impressive either. In the dynamics so poor internationally in terms of education, it is of utmost importance there are ventures coming up to bring change in the sector of education. Unfold U is one such boon in the complex education system of the present era that is actively engaged in spreading knowledge virtually right at your doorstep. They ensure support in all domains of primary education which further helps the child in choosing the right field for higher studies.
| The Visionaries
the Marketing Director; Excel Telecommunication Inc., Canada, as the Executive Director and with Bajaj Tax & Financial Secrets Inc., Canada, as their President. His business acumen and knowledge is not restricted to just a few sectors. He has also been an officer and director for several retail businesses in India, real estate investment, and oil and gas exploration businesses in the U.S. It was for the entrepreneurial spirit that led him to manage business in a variety of industries including finance, customer service, communication, information technology, real estate, and online education.
Rewarded by the President of India and the HRD ministry for extraordinary contribution in the field of education and social work, Shri. Ram Chandra Bajaj was the visionary behind the dream child UnfoldU. The distinguished educationalist believed each child has the right to education and it is the most essential part for a polished future. He strongly believed that education is immortal and with it becomes the teacher who teaches you. It is a chain that continues to grow from one to another. We inherit knowledge and we share it further.
With his farsightedness, clear vision, and hard work Mr. Bajaj ingests determination to achieve stronger performances in the existing teams. Mr. Bajaj not just happens to be an esteemed member of the Company, he has been mentoring management executives with his skills in corporate planning as well.
Taking the dream project forward, his son and the present Chairman, Mr. Harish Bajaj and Director Ms. NeeruArora are rigorously working towards making education available to all.
Harish Kumar Bajaj, Chairman
Mr. Bajaj is looking to provide easy and accessible online study material for EVS, Mathematics, Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Social studies, Commerce, Arts to students of classes – 1 - 12 for 29 state boards, CBSE and ICSE. There also are available competitive exams for SSC, banks, medical, engineering, law, chartered accountant exams, defense services, and more. The videos for same are available in both Hindi and English to make sure there is no hindrance of language for the children.
“Reinvent the way business is done” – Mr. Harish Bajaj Mr. Bajaj has more than 27 years of business experience and a proven track record in management and business development. He began his career as an R&D Engineer in India and Japan, further moving on to important profiles with big business giants like– with Global Guardian Inc. as

|What are the future plans?
Premarkets, a pre-IPO stock exchange for the emerging companies like us. The kind of investors cheer up we have received is highly encouraging. Unfoldu is now worth over $3 billion. In the first quarter of 2019, we are committed to go for a mini-IPO in the US to raise $49 million to fund our financing requirement�, added Mr. Bajaj.
The UnfoldU study modules with intent are designed in a manner that it is convenient for the child to study at home without having to worry about hopping from one place to another, ensuring no time is wasted. There are a lot of plans this company holds for the future. They are looking forward to covering 29 state boards curriculum, CBSE, ICSE in their near future and provide the courses in the regional languages of the state boards. And in the long run, plans are in process to cover the curriculum of 9 other countries and offer practical certification courses for the youth.
The parent company is based in the USA while the subsidiary offices are based in Canada and India. The aim of establishing the company was to provide tuition replacement to students at nominal costs through online courses. With a motto to facilitate well-researched study material to students at their doorstep they have been providing a clear understanding of all the principles and basic concepts. This also averts the investments done for expensive tuitions and coaching centers for help.
“The company is committed to the welfare of the society by giving an equal right to education to the students irrespective of their caste, creed or financial strength. To further solidify our financial warchest on our mission to achieve par excellence in the field of online education we have taken our company public on the OTC

We live in the age of technologically driven generation and the best way to connect with the kids of this era is

| User Satisfaction Is Primary
to do it through an audio-visual medium. The attraction to animation is any day higher than words scattered through sheets. Simple concepts and theories can be easily comprehended through real-life examples, animations and visual stories.
At UnfoldU; it is believed that understanding the pulse of the audience in comparison to the user takes more time. The initial phase is always about research based on which the decisions are made. Regardless of what nature of the business it is, it accelerates with the idea of hit and trial.
|What Gives Them The Edge? Of course, there are a number of horses running in the race but what gives them an edge over their peers is the way UnfoldU designs their courses. For the ease of the students the chapters are divided into 5 components; overview, subtopics, homework, difficulties, and revision. - Overview: Crux of the basic concepts explained in videos to give an overview of the entire chapter. - Sub Topic: Each and every topic is explained in detailed videos to ensure everything in regard to the concept is covered. Every chapter has been explained with the help of 15 – 20 videos. The videos based on questions in the chapter explained along with complete solutions supported by a voice over. - Homework: this is a fantastic way to ensure if the children have grasped everything appropriately. Also, there is no need to rush from one place to another to clarify doubts, each and every question related to the homework is explained in great lengths to clarify everything if needed. In this section, all the questions given in the chapter of the book prescribed by their respective boards have been solved. It is like an e-book which can be referred by the students if they face any problem in the practice exercises. - Revision: Here the kids can go through a few PPTs and a set of multiple choice questions for a quick revision to summarize everything.
The idea of client base here is the end user and that is the student itself. The system has been generated in a manner that it benefits the students and the parents both in terms of education and ample opportunities offered to them. The website has worked like a magic wand for the students keen on making a brighter future. A number of students have benefitted from this website in becoming district and school toppers. It is imperative to ensure that the clientele has an unbreakable faith in the company and its services. And to hold tight on this faith they have a team of experts constantly working towards securing satisfied services to the students and their parents. Each of the marketing associates makes sure that they individually meet the parents and the students at their respective residence. The reason why the website has a 100% conversion rate is the treatment provided to the prospect or the current user.
| The Team of Experts
Technology is an ever-evolving phenomenon and it is a necessity to keep up with the modifications because nobody is looking to lag behind in this race. Talking about modifications the UnfoldU team keeps a track of the latest content and the quality ingested for the designing of the same. There is an app in the process of developing which will be helpful for the students in organizing group studies from the comfort of their home. This will shape in the form of a discussion room forum where the students can share their whiteboard screen, do audio-video chats, and prepare combined study sessions with their friends. They can also do audio-video chats and more.
| The Obstacles Confronted But as they say, success does not come easy, there are mountains to climb and oceans to swim. Mr. Bajaj believes obstacles are a part and parcel of the journey. Online learning industry has gone through a massive change since the time it actually came into existence. Concepts changed and so did the technology. It took quite a toll on the UnfoldU team to reframe everything they did in the past to match the quality standards of the ever-transforming market trends of the present. And the fight was not just with technology, it also took a while for them to gain the trust of the parents to invest their confidence in the fact that internet is not just a medium to consume entertainment, it also can educate a child equally. And to further prosper the confidence, they also gave parents the access to the accounts to keep a track of the time spent by their child studying on this platform.
Mr. Bajaj states “We think of our staff as our family. We ensure that none of the staff members is underpaid which further keeps the working culture healthy. We have a direct marketing staff of 2300 employees who responsibly have been going to each family to help them understand the online program and clarify any apprehension immediately. It is ensured that the child enrolls into the program only after experiencing it firsthand”. If the parents will share the UnfoldU concept with anyone and if they also follow the “Personalized

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition January 2019 INDIA
Learning System” of UnfoldU, the introducer gets the unprecedented opportunity of earning sky high incomes. Yes, it’s true. The only thing that is required for this, is to share the UnfoldU Concept with the person or student next to you, either personally or virtually. The earning potential in UnfoldU is based on the most advanced model of distributing products and services, which is direct selling. Direct selling is an upcoming and very well accepted model worldwide and as per FICCI and KPMG report, this industry can touch the mark of 64500 Cr. by 2025 and will generate approx. 2 Cr. Jobs by 2025 in India. Keeping in mind the exponential future of direct selling industry, UnfoldU has decided to distribute its services using this model in the most advanced way using the power of internet.
Mr. Bajaj and Ms. Arora have successfully brought together a well-qualified team of educationists who have basked immense knowledge in their respective fields. Before any project is finalized it is thoroughly first studied and comprehended in detail. Research and development is the major pillar of any business. It provides the basic insight into the intricacies of the industry, the latest trends, and the parameters that play a major role in the growth of the company. And hence the company appoints only the best professionals in their relevant departments. There is a committee headed by Ms. NeeruArora, the director of the company with several members. She strongly believes that female workforce needs to be at par with the males and they provide equal opportunities to both. They encourage more and
|Neeru Arora, Director, UnfoldU “Achievers are acknowledged by Life” – NeeruArora Ms. NeeruArora is a woman of actions. With a post-graduate degree in Mathematics and a rich experience spanning more than 12 years, she has proved her merit in every sphere of life, be it academics, personal or the professional front. She started her career as a lecturer at S. Govt. College of Science Education and Research in Punjab and was adjudged Best Lecturer for two years. She showed excellent academic performance throughout. Her efficient planning and management skills have enabled the proper utilization of the Company resources in the right direction to achieve the desired goals. She is a leader and a motivator for her team members. Not choosing the easier way of life, she decided to push her limits and earn the position she has today. Her mantra for life is “You can if you believe you can”. Being an educationist her only focus is on perfect content designing. On UnfoldU portal Content has been designed in such a manner that learning for students is easy, interesting and long-lasting. We are providing unique modules for every chapter so that students can thoroughly understand the topic. To have a successful venture it is also a need to keep the spirits of your team always high and at UnfoldU it is followed as well. They invite motivational speakers for delivering sessions for the team, rewards are announced for top performers, regular meetings are held for appreciation and parties are organized for the members of the team. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition January 2019 INDIA

more female managers and administrators. If any female staff member faces any challenge then she can directly approach the first point of contact. If the case is not followed properly or adhered by the committee members then she has full authority to move to the bench of the board of directors. This virtual nest has birds from all flocks like content developers, animators, accounts, software engineers, marketing officers, corporate trainers, business development managers and analysts who are persistently working towards making advances in the product to be offered.
|The Pace of Growth The company is growing at a tremendously fast pace and soon looks forward to becoming a brand in itself globally. The offices have already been established in the US and Canada. In addition to India, they plan on launching online courses for 9 other countries – Canada, USA, Australia, England, Europe, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the Middle East. To gain from the society you have to give back as well, and hence they gave free subscriptions to approximately 20,000 students from urban, rural and semi-urban areas. The company is committed to the welfare of the society by giving an equal right to education to the students irrespective of their caste, creed or financial strength. On being asked what streamlines his thought process and where does he learn the intricacies of the business from Mr. Harish Bajaj states, “One of my favorite books is by Dale Carnegie “How to Win Friends and Influence People” this is the book that changed my viewpoint forever. It teaches you how to convey your thoughts in the most effective way. Another book is by Shiv Khera “You Can Win” that I love to read again and again”.
|The Present Scenario With the changing times, the government also has started to show interest in the development of the education standards. In terms of the initiatives taken by the government with respect to the education, the industry has been quite positive he believes. The present government has been actively participating in digitizing the education scenario of the country and the efforts put in by the prime minister have allowed the entrepreneurs of the same like to convert their visions into reality. Growing education prospects are a promise towards the overall longevity of the society, growing economies and a better future of the country. And with growing projects like UnfoldU, the day doesn’t seem far when education would not be an unreachable asset for the less privileged ensuring economic prosperity with a provision of stress-free education.

Club Concierge powers the most innovative and engaging loyalty programs in market today. Processes managed by PWC declared Club Concierge as first Asia’s ( 2016 ) and then the World’s Greatest Brand ( 2018 ) for its unique loyalty solutions. Club Concierge is, first and foremost, a customer-driven company whose prime directive is to generate customer delight by consistently anticipating and exceeding expectations. Club Concierge is a global marketing partner company with a concierge mindset of servicing its client of “’no is never an option”.
DIPALI SIKAND Founder, Club Concierge Club Concierge comprises of a team of passionate
clients, we are the one-stop destination for numerous corporations. We have a deep experience in working as a strategic customer loyalty building partner to the world’s best known brands – luxury, consumer, telecom, automotive, private residences, destination clubs, and more. We help structure uniquely differentiated services and products and in turn help them create passionate loyalty, engage their customers, and drive real profits. Views of Dipali Sikand
members that help its clients be disruptive innovators: helping them identify weaknesses in their customer experiences and then use innovative customer insights to create exceptional customer value. What clients get immediately are the advantages the background of the company possesses. “We have scaled the entire proposition and have remarkable high touch platforms in place. Added to this is the fact that we can relate immediately to our clients and their end users alike with a global delivery service model, world class infrastructure, supplier networks, marketing assets and supporting technology .This provides us a significant competitive advantage, while we focus on servicing customers from a contextual, as opposed to a productbased or transactional, perspective, both within India and globally, “asserts the Chairman, MD, Dipali Sikand.
What are your views on the Changing face of Entrepreneurship? What’s happening today is something more profound than a change in technology. What’s happening is that limits to startups and innovation have been removed. The first thing that’s changed is that Consumer Internet (and Genomics ) are Driving Innovation at a huge scale. The second thing that’s changed is that we’re now compressing the Product Development Cycle, we can release
In words of Sikand, “From planning and strategizing to implementing and optimizing fruitful measures for the current and future marketing investments of our www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition January 2019 INDIA

products with minimum features to see its effectiveness now, which we couldn’t earlier. The third change seen is the relevance of the Founder of a business (the entrepreneur) has increased greatly: who better than the visionairy entrepreneur to continuously innovate, who better than the dreamer to have the imagination and courage to challenge initial hypotheses and make a business grow.
And while innovation is moving at Internet speed, it’s not limited to just Internet commerce startups. It has spread to the enterprise and ultimately every other business segment. We’re seeing the effect of Amazon on retailers. Malls are shutting down. Most students graduating today have no idea what a Blockbuster record/video store was. Many have never gotten their news from a physical newspaper. Its therefore that much more important for todays entrepreneurs to remain ahead and always informed.
The fourth thing that’s changed is that you can start a company on your laptop for thousands rather than millions of rupees, and with the emergence of incubators and super angels it has also dramatically expanded the sources of seed capital for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs no longer have to start off as a BIG COMPANY to prove their credentials.
One advice I would like to give today’s entrepreneurs though : nothing substitutes a face to face meeting with client and customers. Knowing your customers is key to a long term relationship. Also an ease of starting a business and getting easy access to funds is not the same as running a profitable business. The key is PROFIT and not Investor Funds!
The most profound transformation that is happening in the entrepreneurial work is the fact that Information is now everywhere, today entrepreneurs have exponentially more information than their predecessors.
What makes Club Concierge special?
Walking Miles : how today’s entrepreneurs should use the opportunties they have today:
Our Team”quips Dipali SIkand At Club Concierge, the team sets out to make great customer engagements, but they know that to do that, it has to be a place to foster greatness. A place where incredibly talented individuals are empowered to put their best work to helping many, with very little in their way. “We do know, though experience, that being an excellent engagement company makes us a superior marketing partner. Our mantra, Service, Way and Beyond, is lived and breathed by every member of our organization. Our experience has been that this type of service-focused, customer-driven culture has a tangible impact on our customer satisfaction rates, and therefore on economic drivers important to them,” believes Sikand.
All the advantages that entrepreneurs have today I didn’t at the time I started my entrepreneurial journey . But one thing is for sure : Having all these advantages cannot substitute the ability to do something and to do something well thought out. Reading about, hearing about and learning about how to build a successful company is not the same as having done it. Information does not mean experience, maturity or wisdom. The barriers to entrepreneurship are not just being removed. In each case, they’re being replaced by innovations that are speeding up each step, some by a factor of ten.

Club Concierge has taken a long term investment approach in terms of their hiring and retaining bestin-class professionals. They believe that has tangible impact on the quality of the customer experience, and by extension on their client’s customer’s brand loyalty that they pursue to build. Their Brand’s credo encapsulates their culture and beliefs and they have created their work environment as a place where genuine care and comfort of their members is their highest mission.
Its disruptive creative mindset that looks to service beyond expectation is its greatest strength. This key trait of unbridled curiosity and a motto of no never being an answer, fuels people at Club Concierge, allowing them to deliver to clients, far beyond.
“We have only one rule: Passion Rocks, Common Sense Rules.
What are some of the unique HR practices Club Concierge has to make it a Best Place to work at
We owe our success to the creativity, passion and determination of our team that lives our mantra of service beyond expectations each day. Every one of our offices has dedicated experience managers on hand to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year,” asserts Sikand.
Sometimes things around the office can seem a little too good to be true. You may find yourself walking into office one morning and a bowl of fresh fruit on your desk or a man serving spicy golgappas waving to you, or a bunch of guys in Football jerseys or a levitating yogic teaching you to do the perfect headstand ...... don’t freak out. All these things at Club Concierge are actually there for their employees to use “If we ever institute champagnecatered lunches, though, then maybe something’s wrong. Definitely panic if there’s champagne!”says Sikand’
Further, it is already in 23 international cities and looks forward to growing to more through the strength of its brand and commitment while understanding needs and services in all geographies.
Winning Laurels through immaculate client engagement: Delight gets many things done in this world. It makes relationships sweeter, more workable and longer lasting. It enhances the understanding and empathy between people. It motivates partners and associates to go beyond the brief in business. Which is why you have always endeavored to delightfully engage your Preferred Partners in every way possible. Now with Club Concierge, you have a professional on your side, specialized in providing this delight in disruptive new ways.
Club Concierge employees enjoy exceptional benefits including those across heath, investments, lifestyle and more. Standing out is the the company;s commitment to their program Random Acts of Kindness ( www.raok. in) Their program is unique, material, and credible. The team has also adopted a village in the Niligiris to build a model village and are seen atleast 10 days a year on the slopes, working with the local tribals in building a sustainable Ecosystem for them.
Club Concierge has been delivering exceptional non fractional human experiences across both digital, nondigital and blended channels, throughout a wide range of customer types that are far above a customer’s baseline of expectations. Its services are both dynamic and layered in that it is constantly changing and improving to ensure relevancy to customer types.
Unique Employee Benefits at Club Concierge
• Club Access Program-enabling employees to spend quality time with their families, who are the invisible pillars of support for the employees, family members and employees get unlimited accesses to many social clubs that Club Concierge has tied up with . • Voluntary time Off- embracing social responsibility , employees get paid time off to participate in community service projects. • Emergency Ride home Program- If you have a personal emergency during your work day and need transportation home or to another destination (hospital, child’s school, etc.), Club Concierge will pay for a ride share.
Not only has it adapted to the needs of the market, in its business it has set the trends to which the market reacts and aspires towards. It helps it adapt on the fly to changes in the market, in technology, to aspirations.

The veteran that fathoms its workforce
Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect
before the technology revolution came to being, there were a few companies which were penning down the history. This was being done at a time when India was still lagging behind with many developing countries in many spheres. In such circumstances, Acro Engineering Company came into being in the year 1981. The company having more than
three and a half decade experience has been a witness to humongous metamorphosis in the industry. Such amount of colossal experience has helped it gain the know-how of the industry. Not only this, it has learnt how to maintain good productivity by taking care the needs of employees. This is something which places it one among the best places to work.

It was founded with innovation in mind. The primary goal of the company was to share the gift of high performance computing with the country; and today, it has established itself as the leading distributor of high performance computing hardware. This includes High-End GPUs, Motherboards, PSUs, Gaming Peripherals or Gaming Gear and much more. The company has been able to serve two of the most rapidly growing sectors in India. The First being the ‘Gaming and eSports industry’ which has taken the world by storm; and the Second being the Machine learning discipline. Both industries require High Performance hardware which the company seamlessly provides through its robust sales channels. The company provides High performance hardware which was not previously available. It has diversified its services since then. The company has been the one to bridge many gaps now and then. This is because it is not just box mover; it provides market intelligence and much more to vendors and partners. This is mainly because it likes to be responsible for what it sells. This is why it also provides RMA services for its products. The operations are vast and versatile. Cocktail of Old wisdom and young ambition As of now, it is assigned with the responsibility to maintain versatility and lead through innovation. “We understand that there is a greater risk when you are the ones to take the first step but we like to up the ante”, proclaims CEO Himanshu Jain. But this is only possible because of medley of Old erudition and young aspirations. This is the driving force behind the company. Moreover, the business is conducted strictly in the B2B spectrum but its focus never goes away from its end users who are between the age of 13 and 35 that is more than
60% of the total population of the country. From gamers to innovators to creative intellectuals, its clients represent the future of this country. Now, it is looking forward to make a sizable impression on the mobile accessories as it sees mobile entertainment as the next big innovation. This is something that it seeks to make possible with the partner brand ‘Ant Audio’. Apart from this, the wide use of social media has helped grow the business to a much greater scale. Thanks to this, it has been able to reach out directly to target audience at much lower costs. Although its team hosts regular interaction with end users, Social Media still helps in getting people together. The company works with a balanced work system. It believes that age is not a guarantee for wisdom just as youth is not a guarantee for innovation. It has a culture of providing opportunities to grow. No matter the age or position, everyone has a chance to voice their opinions and plans. This way its team gets to understand the market quicker. The dynamic and open work culture allows for an environment that allows the team to enjoy what they do. Enthusiasm of the employees sets an example Maintaining operational and quality standards is of the utmost importance. The onboard team and managers make sure that it chooses people with passion because it works in an industry that is fueled by the same. “Doing something because it’s your job is one thing, but it’s a completely different picture once you are invested in it”, reiterates Mr Jain. The workforce is filled with people who are obsessed with the industries that they serve. This automatically ensures efficiency and commitment in what they do.

It hosts an annual leisure meet for entire workforce; and it also sends employees in its local branches on one quarterly trip to a nearby destination to re-energize them. This boosts overall productivity, team building and creativity. Dedication and creativity are very important to the company. It is a company with lots of moving parts. This is why it needs to ensure that the person on question knows how to work well with the team. Recently, it had the pleasure to become a part of NVIDIA’s Gamer Connect 2.0 in June 2018. Such large scale events can become logistical nightmares. Although the team charged with this responsibility had the competence and capacity to execute but the will power of the team was amazing that motivated the rest of the team to go beyond their call of duty to assist the primary team.
Achievements It has been awarded much recognition over time. Recently it was awarded by AMD Radeon for its outstanding efforts and also by Cooler Master for its excellent logistical & Sales support. It is also a milestone for the company that it is able to maintain exclusive distribution rights for major brands like CoolerMaster, MSI Components, Sound Magic, Steel Series and G.Skill.

BCM Review
Business Connect Team One of the most enticing features that a customer looks out for is the satisfaction he or she gets after availing a particular service. These days, customers are not only focused on having cheap and affordable products but they have also become quality-oriented. One needs to be very careful while servicing a client. Even a small mistake can harm the prospect in long run. In a market full of competitors, it is of utmost importance to strike a chord with the values of market and the current needs of customers. Everyone wants to grab the attention of prospective customers. In such a rat-race, how can one ensure the trust of customers? There are multitudes of ways by which one can keep the loyalty of customers intact and generate repeat customers. Many successful people in the world have been able to bring in practices that are helpful in retaining the customers.
• Call your clients regularly: One of the most important things to keep in mind is a cordial relationship with a client by means of an active communication. Maintaining a good relationship with clients is of utmost importance. To this end, one can call clients on a frequent basis to make him or her feel that you care for the person. • Create valuable content: A client will become loyal customer given that he/she is provided with value for money. If you are not able to bring value quotient to the table, the chances are that you’ll lose the customer sooner than later. So, it is advised to devise a methodology where value is the king. • Become an authority in your field: Whatever be your domain, try to be the best in the arena and have the acumen required to excel in the domain. Be so strong that you are considered as the authority of the sector. It is your brilliance that will help you reach the zenith of success. • Reply to your emails promptly: It has been found that we take our clients casually and it is reflected in the manner we reply to their emails. The immediate revert on any mail shows your willingness and persuasiveness to handle
the queries of the client in any accelerated methodology. It’s better to be reply positively in the quickest possible time. • Be decisive: There are times when we get ourselves ambushed in a situation where getting out from the place seems impossible. This is where the leadership comes into play. One needs to take strong initiatives in order to avoid any such situation in the future. Decision making is what differentiates a leader from a mundane entrepreneur. • Value your client’s point-of-view: It’s quite common to see people with their own mindset regarding any particular thing or service. They have their pre-defined meanings regarding those issues. It’s better to keep oneself out of the matter if we don’t fit into it. If a customer doesn’t agree to certain points, let him or her open his/ her heart. • Add a personal touch: These days, formality is on a lower note and clients are more inclined towards getting personalized stuffs. There is a wave of new trend where we get to see a steep rise in the personal touch by different kind of companies. New ways are being devised to give an allnew user experience. • Be realistic and do not over promise: Many times, in order to point score over competitors, we make a huge mistake by promising unrealistic promises. This confuses a client and makes him take things in a different manner. This has a long-term repercussion on the organization and the clients. Moreover, the client remains clouded with an ambience of uncertainty. • Identifying opportunities proactively: Being an active entrepreneur, it is a prime duty to keep a bird’s view on the hot and happening across the globe. One needs to stay hungry in order to get the most possible outcomes. One can easily miss out on the things that are of prime concerns to the customers. • Be clear and transparent: To run a company and to bring value addition to the customers, it is necessary to set clear and transparent goals. Then, one should work accordingly. Rather than getting drifted away by the current of a million thoughts, stick to basics and the most efficient modus operandi.

Initial Hiccups and Business Model As we know these days everyone hires an electrician for all type of electrical and lighting needs and all know that these people don’t know anything about the power factor, load balancing, wire gauge calculations, effect of light, which color and how much LUX is required for a particular room, office, lobby etc... This is very hard to hear that go to that shop and buy these products from local retailers, after complication of projects when project come in day to day basic user find so much issue regarding wiring lighting effect, some place low light- some place high light etc., in this case we consult peoples about the lighting ambiance load balancing with the help of computer software. The company is also into providing the best lighting products, making sure that your home, office, building, industry, more comfortable low maintains, fast ROI (return of investment). The team directly works with customer requirements which reduce the overhead cost of the dealer/ distributor network and give 100% genuine feedback directly to the customer, most commonly we have MNC like – HUL, ONGC, Affine Steels, etc. which tell themthe real problem about the lighting issue and we provide them complete solutions like dimming, WIFI connectivity control, GPS Switch for outdoor lighting controls etc. Crossing over all such obstacles, the company today possesses a good number of clientage, such as; ONGC, HUL, MANGLAM ELECTROD, LIFELONG, AFFINE STEELS, are some of their prestigious corporate clients.
