Innovation, Leadership, and Growth Mindset: Unlock the best one from the weakest one

There is a saying that quotes, “Individuals who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others, have a growth mindset. They tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset (Those who believe their talents are innate gifts). A growth mindset is essential to scale in the business world but sustaining achievements for a long time is equally important. This edition of ours which we call, Company of the year 2022, is a full squeeze of all the inspiration we have scattered around in the corporate world.

Business Connect is a renowned platform for featuring the outperforming leaders and their brainchildren that are pushing the business world into a better place. So here we are with a mesmerizing and exciting edition comprising tales of passion and dedication only. To make this edition successful, our editorial team had an interesting and exciting virtual session with the leadership panel of Elena Geo Systems Private Limited. The duo of the company, Lt Col V.S. Velan and Mrs. Naveena Velan, shared numerous lesserknown facts about the company and shed some light on their overall entrepreneurial journey so far. We truly hope and desire that this fascinating read will add some extra value to the lives of our global readership panel and will surely encourage them to break the barriers and chase their dreams.

Last but not the least, I would like to bid my farewell to this exciting year by sharing a few words about the importance of consistency and dedication toward whatever you are doing in life. Just make sure that you are passionate about your dreams and exceptionally crazy to make them a reality. I would end this read with one of my favorite quotes by Dwayne Johnson, “Success isnt always about greatness. Its about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness wil come!”

Implementing Phenomenal Navigation, Tracking And Monitoring Solutions Using NavIC

Technology is changing our everyday existence by interconnecting various parts of our lives, from smartphones to smart homes, and smart cars. This helps us to live more safely and comfortably, with more convenience and efficiency. At the center of this evolution is GNSS or Global Navigation Satellite System which is a type of satellite system with wide spread global coverage. This is generally known as GPS, Global Positioning System. People use global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) every day without knowing it. It uses satellites to provide independent geospatial positioning. It makes it possible for regular electronic devices to ascertain their location, positioning, and navigation via sensors that receive radio signals from the satellites. GNSS is used in all forms of transportation, space stations, aviation, maritime, rail, road and mass transit. Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) play a critical role in communications and mobile navigation tools like Google Maps, telecommunications, land surveying, law enforcement, emergency response, precision agriculture, mining, finance, scientific research and so on.

Cover Story

GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most prevalent global navigation satellite system (GNSS). This system is owned by the U.S. Government and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It is one of the several space-based navigation systems, which provides critical capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users across the globe. Other systems include GLONASS (Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, owned and operated by the Russian Federation), Galileo (a GNSS created by the European Union through the European Space Agency (ESA)), BeiDou or BDS (a global GNSS owned and operated by the People’s Republic of China) & Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) (a regional GNSS owned by the Government of Japan and operated by QZS System Service Inc).

The Indian Government launched its satellite system in the year 2008 after realizing the importance of the Satellite-based Navigation System. During the Kargil War, it was noted that the American GPS was denied to India and so India developed its own navigation system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) which was later renamed as NavIC (an acronym for ‘Navigation with Indian Constellation). India has a series of 12 satellites for its NavIC . Currently, 8 satellites from IRNSS and 3 satellites from GAGAN are providing navigational services in India. The NavIC utilizes geostationary satellites in a higher orbit, which brings about signals with fewer deterrents and utilizes dual band recurrence L5 and S-band, which enables users to get more accurate and highly reliable navigation results with a large radius.

ISRO has also recently announced plans for five more satellites that are scheduled to be launched in the coming months. Another major forthcoming change is to add the L1 band into NavIC and increase the “safety” of the signals. This will make NavIC’s reach global.

Elena’s End-To-End Presence in NavIC Domain

End-to-End Advantages of NavIC

• Assured for Indian Public, Specially created for the Equatorial Region.

• High Availability, Accuracy, Reliability, and Integrity.

• S-band suited for Indian Terrain, especially the mountains and the seas.

• Restricted Services for Defence Forces.

• GAGAN Messaging Service (GMS) can be used for Disaster Management and to flash news to all in the Indian region within a second.

• IRNSS Messaging Service, in addition to GMS, gives more flexibility.

An analysis of the demerits of GPS

• Highly precarious; as it could be accessed as well as be controlled by other countries’ armed forces.

• Authority to set up accurate situating administration has not been given to India.

• Low accessibility, low accuracy, no accountability, dubious uprightness

• Ceaseless maintenance of the Orbital qualities

• Streamlines impassive areas

• Negligible satellite presence over the Indian geographies

• Accuracy rate (DOP) is extremely low

• GPS and GLONASS accessible since the 1990s. GLONASS circuit is quite cumbersome with low inclusion.

• GPS circuits extremely minimized, with high inclusion, became well known in created nations.

• Be that as it may, L1 signals accessible to the public are low in accuracy, exactness and reliability.

• GPS can easily surrender just to 10-meter precision even with a large number of measures.

• One point time reference for all Indian users. All operations can be synchronized using accurate time data from NavIC Atomic Clock which is the most stable than any other GNSS.

USPs by Elena

When it comes to the unique selling propositions of the company, the leadership team explained there is not just one but many. Such as-

• Human Resources

Recently, Elena won the grant for the DCIS (Digital Communication Innovation Square (DCIS) under Champion Services Sector Scheme (CSSS)) issued by TCOE on behalf of Department of Telecom (DoT) 2021/22. Elena’s project was to develop Timing Devices that would function using the Timing reference that is available in the NavIC / IRNSS signals. These could be directly converted to IST. Since coverage of NavIC / IRNSS is continuous without any break, unlike GPS, the timing circuit will be very simple and would not need a separate internal clock. The cost of these products was also expected to be very less.

SUCCESSSTORY

Fevicol

Fevicol Ka Mazboot Jod Hai Tootega Nahi.”

How can we forget this ad dialogue? Of course, we are going to do a case study of Fevicol success story. A one-time peon created Asia’s biggest adhesive company. Nowadays, the company has turnover around 6332 Crores INR/year, isn’t it surprising? Let’s just deep dive in to know about it.

INTRODUCTION

Fevicol is India’s biggest leading Adhesives company. The company was founded by Indian entrepreneur Balwant Parekh known as the Fevicol man. It was 1959 when the Fevicol was first marketed in India as an easy-to-use and replace another fat-based adhesive which consumed a lot of time for boiling prior to the application. This brand innovation has transformed the way carpentry trade operates in India.

FOUNDER & FEVICOL

Balwant Parekh was born in Gujrat who participated in a movement called “Bharat Chhodo Andolan”, launched by Mahatma Gandhi. He had finished a law degree from Mumbai, but he was reluctant to practice law. Living in Mumbai was difficult for him, so he had to work at dyeing and printing press. He ended up working as a peon at a wood trader’s office. During those days, He lived in a warehouse along with his wife.

SUCCESS STORY
Balwant Parekh

Eventually, one of the investors recognized his business skills, Balwant started importing cycle, paper dyes, and many others from other countries. Later, he and his younger brother Sushil Parekh started their own business and named the company called Pidilite Industry.

Over the years, Fevicol built a monopoly in the adhesive industry. In 2002, The Pidilite created another product called FeviQucik and acquired company M-seal too. Later, the company expanded products by acquiring many adhesive companies.

In 2006, the company focused on international expansion. Factories have been set up in many different countries such as the US, Thailand, Dubai, Egypt, and Bangladesh. The brand also built a research center in Singapore.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

The founder of Fevicol Balwant Parekh owned the very ultimate strategy to sell the Fevicol. First-time, in Indian business history, he approached direct marketing strategy. He researched and found that 80% of carpenters were decisionmakers. In such a case, educating carpenters about Fevicol’s benefits and direct marketing approach was a key factor for the company.

Later, the company added a new strategy. Wide Product Basket or deafferented product, the company Pidilite has introduced many adhesives products, a separate Fevicol for each different item. It would be difficult if the company separated a place for each different Fevicol’s items. That is the reason, the Pidilite provides all different kinds of adhesives products at one place for distributors, dealers, and channels. In such a way, it became so easy to dealing, delivering, and billing the products.

Inorganic Acquisition, Speedy Acquisition, and Aggressive Acquisition are the major reasons to become a wide Product

basket. The Pidilite industry has acquired all those adhesives companies who could be a competitor in the market. Now, M-Seal, steel grip, Roff, Sargent Art, ColStar, Cyclo, Holdtite, WoodLok, Falcofix, and even Araldite Maker are part of the Pidilite Industry. Meaning, no matter what adhesive product, you are buying, money goes into the same bank account.

Apart from product quality, Fevicol focuses on maintaining a close relationship with the customers. The company has introduced different kinds of products at a very different price to meet customer demand. In this way, the customer cannot be missed.

The company follows a different SKU strategy, has launched Fevicol in a very different quantity, meaning the customer can buy ad per their needs. The products are available from pack 22.5gm to 50Kg. The Fevicol is OTC (over the counter) product that is available from the grocery store to hardware.

A BRIEF ABOUT THE KEY OFFICIAL

Mr. Arup Dholey- Director

Mr. Arup has attained his MBA from ISB , Hyderabad and BE Electronics from NU. With over two decades

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol-5 | Special Edition| February 2023 INDIA 20
“Never be afraid to delve yourself into the risk practices and always consider your cravings to succeed as a motivation that will guide you in every extent of your life. I would like to share my secret Mantra to be a better leader- One must always carry a sense of empathy towards one’s colleagues, employees, competitors, consumers or whoever one comes across with. For me, the definition of leadership is a bit offbeat. A leader shall be considered worth it only when he possesses the ability to clone pioneers like him.”

of rich experience of working with Fresenius Medical Care and Nipro Corporation of tackling National and International dialysis Business, he realized the product and services gap in Dialysis focused healthcare facilities. The realization made him coin the idea of offering better Hemodialysis treatment, Software and Consumables to the people who are being adversely affected due to this gap. The dynamic business leader has been involved in PPP Dialysis turnkey projects with Central and State Government under the NHM program.

During his tenure with the NHM program, approximately 50,000 dialysis treatments were added to community healthcare services at different medical colleges, district hospitals, sub-divisional hospitals, and corporate hospitals. Almost 6000 patients got benefitted from these initiatives.

INCEPTION STORY

Arivation Healthcare is an ISO-certified Firm established on 13th of August 2019 and is well recognized by Startup-India. With the vision of rendering products and services to patients in the area of Nephrology, the Company has developed a Portable Water-Treatment System for Dialysis. Recognizing the adversities of the patients who have to rush to the hospital for performing dialysis, Arivation Healthcare has aimed to provide Dialysis at the bed side of patient where ever the patient is in the Globe.

DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR

The unique business module propagated by Arivation Healthcare includes medical products like a patented portable Water- System and consumables like dry Dialysate powder that is commonly used in the dialysis procedure. As per Mr. Arup, there are a couple of machines in Europe and in the USA only; that are quite expensive and cannot deliver desirable results with Indian water. This water-system is specially customized for Indian water only which gives them an advantage in the relevant market. The System will also aid the initiatives of the Government of India by enabling dialysis facilities to rural and non-accessible regions as well.

Mr. Arup has also planned to launch an app shortly that will allow all the nephrologists & Dialysis centres in the Country easily accessible for the patients in the need. It is a common platform so that all the stakeholders or involved parties can get optimum benefit from each others.The Platform mentioned above will bridge the gap between the patients and the nephrologists with ease, especially in case of an emergency. The Key Official being an MBA possesses effective market intelligence and research strategies that give the Company a differentiating factor with a perfect blend of marketing strategies and the healthcare services to all.

A STROKE OF GENIUS

Innovative formulations can make a company the major success. Mr. Arup decided to start this venture as he desired to serve the society with a noble cause as the zeal to provide the patents with better health measures constantly poked him. His intention behind the commencement of this venture is not about deriving profit from the patient’s convalescence but to offer him a measure that can alleviate the adversities in the treatment procedure. A touch of innovation along with empathy towards the consumers is the motive behind this venture that has been firmly proposed by him.

STRUGGLE STORY

As a new venture, there was a fair share of ups and downs along the way and many learning experiences as well that Arivation healthcare tackled. For a startup, it is always an uphill climbing to convince the society and the consumers to consider it over the big players in the relevant field. Along with this, team and workforce management are also quite a hard job for a start-up. It is challenging to convince people to join a new venture as they are not well aware of the policies of the company that has just intervened in the market with an innovative idea and cannot assure the employees with high salaries and great perks. But the Company dodged all these obstacles and carved its niche in the market.

SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION IN COMBATING THE DEADLY COVID- 19

In the current scenario when the whole world is fighting the novel CoronaVirus, the innovative solution by Arivation Healthcare has rendered an added advantage to design isolation ward by taking the multiple organ failure scenario for the COVID 19 patients into consideration. ‘Portable RO system for Dialysis’ has given a choice to give renal treatment at bedside anywhere in isolation ward for the patients in need of dialysis.

Some of the infected pateints need support in multiple organ failure scenarios and at that time, providing renal treatment becomes crucial.

There is always a change of preference, that’s a human nature where people often get bored with choosing the same kind of meal every day.

Reasons Why Sunglasses Acts More Than Just An Accessory

LIFESTYLE

PROTECT EYES FROM GLARE

Sunglasses not only let you see better when it’s light outside, but they also decrease the amount you need to squint by the cutting back on the sun. Squinting will lead to headaches, exhaustion and eye pressure, as well as the formation over time of fine lines in the skin around the eyes. When you squint, it’s also difficult to see clearly, which can lead to injuries, particularly when driving. Maximum glare safety is offered by polarized sunglasses.

DARK ADAPTATION

After you are exposed to intense sunshine, sunglasses allow you to refocus your vision. If you will not adapt for long stretches after being exposed to the sun, your night vision may be impaired. You’ll find it hard to see the road while you are riding at night. Riding becomes risky when you haven’t been wearing shades.

Exposure to UV can lead to cataracts and cause glaucoma symptoms worse. Moreover, about to 10 per cent of skin cancers are found near the eyes. Choose glasses that cover the eyes entirely and make sure that they have 100 per cent UVA and UVB protection.

On the same notion, Medesun has also employed more than 20 skilled professionals with immense experience in the US healthcare industry. Their exposure to training students helps them get an edge over their peers. With a good collection of trainers, Medsun has built a harmonious relationship with students that generate interest.

Medesun also delivers HIM training, HIPAA Compliance training, ICD-10-AM, tumour registry, cancer registry, Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) service and medical coding auditing services, online medical coding training, and internship programs as well. The vast collection of training modules has helped in seeing enormous revenue

growth in the last few years and students have been placed in remarkable positions in the healthcare industry across the globe.

SUSTAINING AMID THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

The Novel Coronavirus has brought the world down to its knees and presently is the most trending catastrophe. However, the crisis hasn’t stopped the functioning of Medesun. As soon as the lockdown was announced, across the nation, Medesun stopped training at locations to ensure safety and started online training for their students and prospective coders. Medesun has a very robust training methodology that integrates cutting-edge technology with cultured knowledge. Their employees are very enthusiastic towards their job and have ensured a freewheeling and engaging training framework.

Even after the lockdown is dropped, The company ensures “Safety first”, as such, is focused on following all the precautions procured by WHO and govt. like Social Distancing, avoiding crowding, using sanitizers, Masks and ArogyaSethu App in mobiles, reduced working days and hours in the month and enlightening their students on the safety and precaution of travelling outside.

A PROGRESSIVE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

Looking at the current era, Dr. Guptha interprets “As healthcare costs are skyrocketing, proper statistics on time will help in risk adjustment and healthcare cost control. Coding allows a statistical analysis of diseases and treatments, diagnosis-related group reimbursement, and easier observance and tracking of epidemics or pandemic events. It also helps inform planning with the medical organization’s decision support systems.”

Dr. Guptha strongly believes that proper medical coding can produce valuable diagnostic data, which can be utilized for research and education, including the betterment of patient care. Henceforth, Medesun is focusing on instilling a strategy to implement medical coding in state and central government health schemes by leveraging “Ayushman Bharat”, A bright initiative by the central government.

Although India is still at the emerging stage of medical coding and billing, Dr. Guptha looks forward to elevating the nation to the next level through his entrepreneurship. Having a well-cultured leader and proficient trainers, who are certified by AAPC and AHIMA US, the company aims to continue as the apex in furnishing exemplary candidates for the healthcare arena. Even in this dearth period, Medesun has shown its enthusiasm and hard work. The company has incurred a 200% increase in revenue, within the last five years and are aiming to build a 500 seater coding service company by 2023. With a team of combined experience of over 100 years, Medesun is striving to become the most preferable trainer and provider of medical coding and billing services.

The Fastest Growing Company in the domain of Therapeutic Healing

Palliative Care - Therapeutic Healing The Prova Way

In the hustle of modern-day existence, subsistence is now a daily fight for sustenance, and indeed, survival. While endeavouring to earn an earnest livelihood ensues, the demarcations segregating work and personal life are dwindling rapidly. Ergo, timelines & deadlines have become the new reality. These days, most are time-tested. Doubtlessly, an excess of anything stimulates repercussions in everything. Inevitably, withstanding such hectic work schedule tribulations weaves a dreadful web of constant stresses, perpetual perturbations, and endless anxieties for the one who endures. Soon, ramifications percolate down to the corporeal level, manifesting as a whole gamut of ailments - lifestyle diseases or acquired disorders.

Getting diagnosed through an efficacious prognosis, some get placed on salubrious treatment procedures for augmenting healing. In this scenario, a proper medicinal procedure suffices for expediting the curative aspect. At times, surgical intervention becomes exigent, especially, for ailments concerning the musculoskeletal system. Herein, the significance of a therapeutic orthopaedic rehabilitation system comes to the fore.

A recent survey about India’s orthopaedic rehabilitation industry underscores the realm of opportunities awaiting emancipation. With an ever-growing populace breaching the billion mark, and a proportionately burgeoning infirm population, the orthopaedic instrumentation market is poised at a propitious cusp, even as mind-boggling numbers point towards a statistical enormity - $2.4 billion.

Founding on the prerequisite traits of compassionate empathy and humaneness, which form the pivotal component in any palliative care, a revolutionary brand foraying into manufacturing of musculoskeletal support belts got established on December 21, 2012, aiming to assuage the suffering of millions. An insightful Tete-e-Tete reveals, how Harsh Mehta is not merely the active director at the helm of affairs of Prova Health Care but, also the quintessential entrepreneur etched with essentials of perspicacious acuity and a profound sense of business acumen - a contemporary era rarity.

Kriti Anand | Business Connect

On getting quizzed, Mr Mehta chronicles the diverse healthcare product range, responsible for a speedy recuperation of their client -

• Musculoskeletal Support belts

1. Cervical Collars

2. Lumbosacral Belts

3. Rib-chest Belts

4. Abdominal Belts

5. Tennis Elbow Brace

6. Knee Caps

7. Ankle Support

• Body Movement Aiding Products

1. Walkers

2. Walking Sticks

3. Quadripods

4. Auxiliary Clutches

In own words, the forthright corporate honcho justifies the paradigm -shift from outsourcing production to a comprehensive in-house manufacturing unit, catering to the clientele with specific instruments, which are tailored to fit their requirement, as a much-needed perspicacity in the ever-evolving healthcare sector. According to Mr Mehta, incessant RD forms the crux in the therapeutic avenues, on which a blueprint of ingenuity gets instituted.

Additionally, incorporating off-centre marketing initiatives, revamping the hierarchical structure, heralding novel technologies, re-calibrating managerial policies, foraying into the App-based platforms for greater reach, and ushering ingenious revenue enhancing stratagems are measures propelling their organisation towards commercial progression.

To preempt growth stagnation, the bigwig enunciates his organisational forte - perpetually attempting for progress, instead of, brood about past laurels and achievements, thereby, giving them an edge over the rest.

Incidentally, regarding the ordeals and hindrances endured during the initial days, Mr Mehta categorically lays the onus on substandard quality, quixotic pricing by rivals, apart from monetary enticements for luring their sales team into subversion, with the lamentable intent at sabotaging the reputation, earned earnestly over time. Consequently, their commercial voyage witnessed an unprecedented diminution in market share, followed by a glaring loss of revenues, not to mention the inestimable erosion of stature, leading to the abject lack of selfbelief.

Subsequently, a rectification of anomalies needed hiring employees from other professional spheres, implying rebuilding from scratch. However, providing ample cognitive leeway that fosters fertile space for visualization of groundbreaking ideas, undeniably, gets the unambiguous nod in his perception.

Even though, in these crazy times defining the parameters borders on absurdity, Mr Mehta emphatically articulates his eight-fold mantra for success in the realm of business -

1. In-depth analysis

2. Meticulous evaluation

3. Painstaking research

4. Trust your instincts

5. Eagerness to learn and adapt

6. Touch base with ground realities

7. Connecting with the clients

8. Avoid cutting corners, patience pays

Without an iota of doubt, having an average annual turnover of roughly 7o million gives profundity to his words. Sagaciousness to incorporate laudable attributes is a sign of inventiveness, innate within those belonging to resourceful kind. Explicitly, the Head of Prova Healthcare estimates the importance of peerless marketing methodologies over product quality. He vehemently states, “Quality in tandem with frivolous administrative policies is a sure-shot recipe for ruination.”

There’s no debate to the contrary. Our interaction invoking inquisitiveness traverses reticent matters relating to the inspirational role models in Mr Mehta’s life. Nostalgic recollections about the remarkable contributions by family stalwarts unfurl. Fervid instances of toil by an ageless Grandsire, a sedulous Uncle with conscientious streaks, & a father’s expertise in merchandising, portrays the hidden benevolence encapsulated within a pragmatic exterior. Appending the list are revered names akin to steel baron Sunil Mittal, airline tycoon Richard Branson, & homegrown industrial magnate Dhirubhai Ambani, citing a few.

Accentuating the urgency of extending the brand worth offshores, the unpretentious man promulgates the plan for turning the company into a global marque. Dodging the curveball on the initiatives of the incumbent governments, both at the centre and state, Harsh invokes prudence, offering a subtle response about how policy benefits are trickling down to ground zero.

Taking umbrage on the clarifications sought regarding female workforce equality, Mr Mehta fervently asserts that gender equanimity is a prevailing ideology of their corporation, embedded into the everyday functionalities, with apt timings, felicitous job profiles, adequate sanitation facilities, proximity hiring to avoid inordinate commutes, & remunerative maternity leaves as some of the criteria adhered to the hilt.

Notwithstanding the 60-month inception, Prova Healthcare has more than 100 products making beelines in its assembly line, along with a cent per cent revenue growth in the preceding three years adding to the already illustrious cap.

Once in aeons, treads a mortal whose entrepreneurial brilliance replete with resolute tenacity, unwavering perseverance, self-abnegating zeal, and oceans of forbearance become the genesis of manifesting an entity, which not merely subsists but, transforms into a breathtaking phenomenon, for generations to emulate.

Harsh Mehta, heading Prova Healthcare is one such trailblazer par excellence.

A Dynamic Relationship Between Health And Economy

The performance of your health is completely reflected on the economy as well as on the health systems. Investing upon health is not just a desirable, but also an essential priority for most societies. Though, our health systems often face challenges that are tough as well as complex, in some part derived from new pressures like aging populations, growing prevalence of chronic illnesses, and intensive use of expensive yet vital health technologies.

Additionally, we must deal with higher expectations of citizens and resolving persistent inequities in access and in health conditions among different groups. Wondering about the issue of how to ensure the financial sustainability of health systems, while creating a positive contribution towards the macroeconomic performance, it has moved to the top of the policy agenda that is across the OECD area. The ample work undertaken in the OECD Health Product has intended at providing policymakers with the evidence that they are needed to promote more value for money in the health sector while confirming universal access, equity along with raising the quality of care. There is a lot that has been learned even though there is more to discover.

Health

entire lives. In accordance with that health is an asset that individuals possess, which has an important source of well-being as well as instrumental value. In terms of instrumental, health impacts economic growth in a number of ways. For instance, it reduces the production losses due to worker illness, it also increases the productivity of adults as a result of better nutrition and its lower absenteeism rates and improves learning among school children. Health also agrees for the usage of natural resources that might normally be destined for the treatment of ill health.

Health has its effects on economic growth directly through the productivity of labor and the economic burden of illnesses. Health also has an impact on economic growth indirectly since aspects such as child health affect the future income of people through the impact that health has on education. This kind of indirect impact is way easier to understand if it is observed on a family level. When a family is healthy, both the father and mother can hold a job and earn money that allows them in feeding, protecting, and sending their children to school. When children are healthy and well-nourished, they will perform better in school and this would lead to a positive impact on their future income. Also, the health loss affects the poor to a great level, as at times the only asset they acquire to have is their body.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BUYING A CAR IN THIS PANDEMIC

Until it passes, the pandemic has brought so many questions about the new normal for everyday life. Everything like schools, gyms, and many others are temporally closed all over the country except for essential services. Although, recently it has been announced by the government that there are few shops and other businesses are going to open. People are still working from home. Before the pandemic, a lot of people had a plan to buy a car. Now they might be wondering is if buying a car is still safe in the worse time. So, don’t worry I’m going to show you some experts and people opinion, It may help you.

According to Capgemini.com, “in India 70% percentage of consumer – who would prefer to avoid dealership visits to compare financing and deals due to COVID-19”. It is up from 39% before the pandemic. On April 22, 2020, Hyundai India announced to launch a program called “Click to Buy”. The company has integrated 500 dealerships under the “Click to Buy” program that is an end to end online car purchasing platform. Sure, people always want to go to the car showroom, poke around inside the car, and see the color choice. But for most people, car buying tradition will soon be almost virtual according to experts. Because of the pandemic, there are many restrictions that have forced businesses to change the way to sell the product and service to

Technology

consumers. Now the real question is, how exactly will the virtual experience be different? For instance, what if you want to negotiate a lower price? Well, you can still do that thorough their official app instead of in person. Also, you don’t need to worry about paperwork at all, your valet will bring a portable printer and take care of all these worries at your home. Mercedes, BMW, Honda, Tata motors, many other companies are also increasingly ramping up online sales platform.

Experts believe that this summer could be a bit confusing time for those who want to buy a new vehicle. When a vehicle showroom gets going to earnest following months, there would be 3 model years of new cars or other vehicles to choose from: remaining 2019s model, 2020s model, and new intro model 2021s. You will also get surprising deals like 0% finance, for 84 months. Although, few of the companies will agree on this type of deal.

For consumers, it will be very tough to know the dealer’s bottom line, offering the many inducements and the shifting sands of the post-coronavirus landscape. In such time, there is only sound you will hear from them “It is a good deal as compare in the past.”

I asked one of the showroom persons, who said that “it would be better if you buy at the end of the month,” at the time, the dealer will be in rush to move their inventory, and you can negotiate on price.

Vehicle industries and dealerships that transition swiftly to e-communication would get more consumers. And no doubt, customers will also get benefits.

You also need to know that it may become a situation that any vehicle will become more streamlined and very few times taking. There is only one employee who is going to handle the whole purchasing process – from test drive to finalizing paperwork and new car delivery at your home.

For those of you are wishing to buy a new model car, and are not quite as tech-savvy or have many questions — in such kind of situation, you need more handholding, otherwise, it could be challenging.

Although a lot of people know what kind of car they need, in such cases, you can go online.

Experts say that consumers aren’t just ones stumbling into the new world “online car buying”. The majority of car dealerships are not ready to enter into a complete online world. It may mean that customers won’t experience a perfect online service, and you may have to visit the showroom.

In addition, there are a lot of finance & insurance products that would have been important to the customers may not be passably presented online –even offered at all. It indicates that consumers aren’t going to have a chance to consider an extended service agreement and other optional services.

Seeing in such kind of condition, we would say that a vehicle dealership would be different than now. As we can see that we all have become accustomed to home deliveries for every single thing, cashless transaction, and pick up & drop-off series for taxi services. Now Online car purchasing tradition has grown so quickly, the day isn’t too far off when parts and repairing will certainly become common.

As we have discussed a lot of thig about “online buying car”. But People like to visit a dealership. According to autonews.com, 83% of people cannot buy a car without seeing it physically, and 75% buyer would not want to buy a vehicle without a dealer involved. It all shows that the value of the dealership is still alive.

PROVIDING LEADING-EDGE PHARMA-CENTRIC SOFTWARE SOHAM ERP SOLUTIONS PVT. LTD.

Company Overview

Soham ERP Solutions Private Limited was launched in 1988 by Mr. Suketu A Shah as a sole proprietorship.

Soham ERP Solutions can surely boast of being the only pharmaceutical manufacturing ERP on Oracle Cloud in India. Their PharmaCloud ERP hosted on Oracle Cloud using Oracle frontend and backend takes care of the whole spectrum of the manufacturing units. With Cloud Computing, customers have benefits like no capital expenditure, no license expenditure, fastest implementation, disaster recovery setup, smooth software updates, work from anywhere, competitive edge, and being environment-friendly.

Dealing With The Covid Crisis

During COVID-19 pandemic, the company’s focus was only on how to provide best support to their customers. The prime reason for that was all their customers fall under essential services as they were in the medicine manufacturing and distribution business. And Soham ERP Solutions were in turn the essential services for their customers. The challenge was to provide them continuous service without any special support from the Government.

The steps they took, from the very first day of the lockdown, were:

• Routed all the landline support phone numbers to support heads’ mobiles. Equipped each employee with laptop and phone for full internet connection.

• Managed to keep all the office servers, machines and air-condition on for 24x7 during lock down.

• Created VPN for each staff member.

• Contacted each customer through email, SMS, WhatsApp, etc, and assigned each of them one single point of contact for their immediate needs. They assured them 24x7 services during the lockdown to keep customers stress-free as far as software support was concerned.

• They had already in-place a self-developed support software named “Task Manager”, which keeps the entire support team in loop and tracks the service call from its receipt up to the satisfactory resolution at the customer’s end.

• They had daily online meetings sharp at 10 am, which started with a prayer, followed by discussion of the unresolved or difficult issues of the previous day.

• Online training sessions were set up for different teams on different topics, which continuously upgraded their knowledge during lockdown.

During this lockdown. The team learnt a lot and upgraded their products and their knowledge base. The monetary benefits were replaced by fourfold goodwill, and as a result, now during the unlock, their sales have substantially risen.

Their Uniqueness

Soham provides the clients with their precise strategy of software training and implementation process, which has proven itself through hundreds of implementations in the last three decades. They use the client’s real data and show them the whole process on their own data which gives them assurance. The most important point is each client already

knows from the market that hundreds of similar businesses have already successfully implemented PharmaCloud ERP, and that increases their confidence.

Soham advertises in a few pharma magazines and takes part as an exhibitor in pharmaceutical exhibitions, but most of its clients come to them through word of mouth.

As Mr. Shah puts it, “Our customers are our brand ambassadors.”

The prime differentiating factor of the company is their point of focus. They are one of the very few, possibly the only software company in India, that is focused solely on pharmaceutical industries. Whatever they plan, develop and execute is only pharmacentric. That has given them an expertise of more than 30 years. They sail in the same boat of pharma, so they talk the same language and feel the same whatever the clients feel, which provides a comfort zone to their customers.

Soham ERP Solutions Private Limited is the first in India to provide its ERP as a SaaS and IaaS model on Oracle Cloud for the pharmaceutical industry. This is a major jump where formulations, API manufacturers and pharmaceutical exporters of any size from micro to large can take its benefit from any model and save a huge amount of CapEx and OpEx.

states Mr. Shah

“They are Responsive, Responsible, and Reliable. Always happy to serve.”

Awards and Recognition

In its years of service, Soham ERP Solutions has made quite a name for itself, and been showered with awards for the same:

• 2020- Awarded as The Ten Most Promising Healthcare Solutions Providers

• 2019 - Awarded as Top Ten PharmaTech Solution Provider

• 2019 – Excellence in Pharma IT Innovation Award
