Following the Covid-19 epidemic in the middle of the year 2020, there was a greater push for digitization on a global and Indian level. They received a significant number of inquiries about digital solutions for medium-scale enterprises for their business continuity. As a result, they split off into their own company whose sole purpose is to meet the demands of developing nations like India with affordable, cutting-edge products and services. Many firms have adjusted to the new normal and are continuing to invest in digital solutions to stay competitive, despite initial fears that demand would fall as the situation stabilized. To address their concerns and find answers to their problems, their team has been hard at work developing novel approaches.

Owing to their standing as insiders in the industry, the number of companies with whom they have collaborated in the past has significantly increased.

Their approach places a significant focus on communication and collaboration among team members.

This all undergoes from history, these teams manage to achieve the impossible.

Confidence is the key basis in which leadership will grow and stand. The real leader should concentrate on the most basic ingredient for their leadership that is “Confidence”. A business leader is someone who is expected to deliver accurate and make decisions very confidently in the organization. Confidence is very important which is driving forces in the business arena.

Confidence is the mainspring of leadership. The role of a leader is to be an effective problem solver, more decisive in organizational matters, and better communication is also important in confidence. He/she should know how to coach a team with confidence, mentor and hold their team members accountable, and many other fundamentals of leadership. Hereby, accept all this; a leader must be first believing in them, true leadership will exist only in title. A leader that is technically and officially qualified for their position, but lacks the confidence, will find it always difficult to lead others. Therefore, confidence is a key point in leadership.

Cooperative nature in strategic Leadership is defined as the ability to think and anticipate the future to maintain flexibility and work with others. The cooperative leader for any company always provides the right direction and facilitates changes that will create a viable future for the organization and he is consistent with cooperative principles. Being a cooperative leader for your organization will accomplish two essentials of leadership: It facilitates the direction-setting right goals and then moving toward that direction. To successfully act as Cooperative Leaders, they need a practical and robust approach.

Leaders can make the corporate workplace more welcoming by working together with team and management. The cooperation needs a better understanding of both sides and leads to foster cooperation between employees and management. It also reduces the problems that can affect to leave the employees dissatisfied or when they are eager to quit their jobs.

Cooperation also denotes the taking turns and helping each other out within the team. The two main key ingredients to get along in this world are sharing and taking turns. An effective leader takes time to take turns, but they work like taking care of each aspect of business.

A COMPANY CULTURE WAYS TO BUILD

THAT PROMOTES AND RETAINS WOMEN AND MINORITIES

Most of the Companies have been trying to improve their diversity at workplace, from decades this problem is in concern. The most common techniques among all are promoting the workplace for women and minorities who are working under the suppression and bias. The numerous women and other people who are facing discrimination by the leadership roles are still staggeringly low across every industry. Therefore, we need some of the ways and new techniques, for making the work culture sound and systemic to the ways businesses are run.

Hereby, many companies focus on making the small adjustments on to how performance and evaluations are done, but a very few works for the equality in workplace.

Let us discuss 5 ways by which you can build a company’s culture that promotes and retains women and minorities:-

Make a Council

Consider the team meetings by forming a council that comprises a dedicated group of key officials and influential leaders who are one or two levels below the CEO i.e. Managers and team leaders. For making the best ethics which are in favor of feminism majority and other minorities, these official can listen and act well to maintain the ethical chain. The company must carefully select them for their passion and commitment to inclusion.

Some of the executives should also host, office hours where every employee can walk in and talk to anyone by one-onone understanding. The company needs to block one to two hours on their calendar monthly for such office hours and make it known at the hands of company.

Some of the Tools like Culture amp and Survey monkey are very helpful in surveying employees at scale, but be intentional in what you’re looking to measure and improve.

Make Policies and Ethics

Some of the attracting policies for the employees like flexible working hours, proper ways like the ability to work remotely, and most importantly, being able to take the time off, when they have some important life events or circumstances. Every work culture needs to allow their people to be themselves and to provide necessary freedom of speech whenever you do not feel to say matter. Therefore, if someone having care benefits, especially pregnant women- like childcare or maternal sabbaticals leaves. It should be always a flexible leave for employees to take care of a family member or ill loved ones to go a long way in making employees feel supported and build loyalty. These are just a few suggestions; invest in listening to your people and understand what will make their life less difficult.

28 www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 Special Edition February 2023 | INDIA Culture

Focus on the middle manager

You can keep on focus by adapting some of the new policy time to time that strengthens the trust and communications between supervisors (Middle Manager). Those feminine and minorities that work under them, a real manager always helps to improve the work culture for all parties involved. That took an emplacing to those, who are in middle management positions and can provide a company with a clear sense of the challenges that need to be addressed for employers.

They should always ask their employees for referrals and team connectivity, since they will also have peers in the industry and some of the friends they want to make team. If any position is vacant or they know any the qualified candidate who may be looking for work then they can connect them with managers. This type of relationship can also help new employees adjust to the move by referrals.

Promote a clear vision of leadership

The true vision of leadership starts from making sure that the women of the workplace can see themselves as leaders at your company if they are in a good position. The company itself is to be sure that your definition of a leader isn’t so narrow that it excludes ethnically diverse women and unprivileged persons.

For those instincts, you need to provide the “Diversity” training in your workplace. Therefore, all the employees should understand the hiring decisions are based on finding the best candidate not by bias and not by any quotas. Making the recruiting process more transparent can help ease the minds of employees and gives a clear vision to your business idea.

Beneficial flexibility to the workforce

You have to encourage the current leaders at your company for taking the extra step to connect with employees by all means. Employees who are culturally and racially different from them, rather than expecting them to suppress or change in order to fit the majority of the office culture leaders must have mold and culture others for them.

They can easily offer the benefits such as onsite day-care things, childcare subsidies which include the flexible schedules, and also let new hires know the fact that your company is willing to accommodate your cultural and religious holidays and you will get a diversity-friendly workplace apparel choices.

Significance of R&D behind the Company’s Growth

For every business to thrive in this hostile environment, R&D is crucial. Many companies in the market must continually innovate and update their content if they want to stand out as one of the prominent players.

They must continue to offer course materials that are upto-date and contemporary. Their mock tests get updated with the latest test series, which provides the students with updated exam patterns and syllabus. “The best teacher is the one who is a student for his whole life!”. The FosterJEE team constantly improves itself because they think it cannot offer the best results unless they are GOOD at what they are doing.

The Key Marketing Strategies of FosterJEE

Being a startup firm, they have limited funds. They, therefore, need more funds for above-the-line (ATL) advertising in the media, on television, and outside. Most of their marketing is digital and in social media. They invested in SEO and pay to advertise so that students can find them through Google searches or by seeing their adverts on Facebook and Instagram.

B K Behera’s Take on Leadership

Leadership is a quality that should provide others with guidance. A true leader is one who can improve the lives of others. You may benefit society if you can help our young people succeed in their careers. If you can improve society by bringing in quality education, then you can be perceived as a true leader. One should pursue their passions professionally. Only you will be able to work truly diligently after that. Even if you don’t succeed completely, at least your life will change for the better.

The Evolution of Startup Eco-System Over the Years

India is experiencing a startup boom. Startups have a lot of potentials if they have a fresh idea and are properly run. India is a sizable market for businesses of all stripes. Due to India’s youthful population, the ed-tech sector has enormous potential. Online learning and the education sector will experience tremendous expansion in the next years. The online education sector is expanding extremely quickly. In 2016, the market for online education was over $750Mn. It increased by 35% CAGR to $2 billion in 2022. In the following five years, it will expand at the same rate.

There is currently a one-size-fits-all approach to schooling. This lacks student interaction, student-focused learning, and critical thinking. To bridge the gap between traditional and online learning, FosterJEE aims to implement a 360-degree learning method. They started with directly accessible online courses and assessments that may be taken using mobile apps.

Expansion Binge and Future Goals

FosterJEE plans to expand its growth by acquiring more customers from tier-2 and tier–3 cities in India. They hope to reach out to more students in rural areas by collaborating with schools. In order to market their software and courses to schools and smaller cities, they are working to employ sales personnel who can do so.

Expanding its course offering in terms of its width and depth, the company wants to be a one-stop solution for students. A learner must be happy with the quality and scope of the service after installing an iOS or Android app.

They also want to expand their reach in the field of test preparation. This includes providing preparation classes for tests like the SAT, GRE, and GMAT. In the primary and secondary supplementary education domain, they are planning to offer English, Social Studies, and Literature courses along with Math and Science.

Milestones and Achievements Along the Way

FosterJEE has achieved a milestone of 500+ student subscribers in the last 6 months. They want to expand at a rapid pace in the coming months. They have completed Mock tests offered for CUET and BITSAT exams in the last 3 months.

A Piece of Advice by B K Behera

Entrepreneurship is a challenging task. It’s filled with lots of ups and down. But to be successful, one must stay put; one must keep going. Our journey of the last 2 years has been a rollercoaster ride. One must self-motivate himself to survive in this race.

Monday Morning Blues or Emotional Alarm: 5 steps to overcome Monday Dreads

As long as days in the week pass, the weekend ends and Monday arrives. The Monday mornings really get the alarming emotion for everyone to wake up. After a long, relaxing weekendone must find waking up on Monday morning difficult, in fact, the thought of ‘Monday’ is depressing after holidays. Everybody is in a rush to be on time to college, office, meeting and other daily tasks. In a hurry to tripping out of bed to make coffee, worry about work clothes, and the phone is buzzing emails from your boss demanding a file now, etceteraetcetera. Monday defines all the worry of the world as the realization of Monday hitting you again.

Mondays are also disliked because there are endless numbers of anti-Monday memes. The ‘Monday Blues’ describes negative emotions that many of the people get at the beginning of the new workweek. It usually happens when they’re not happy at work. It also contains the elements of depression, tiredness, and a sense that work is unpleasant but unavoidable. We will discuss in this article about making your Monday blues rocking mornings. You can cure your Mondays by making your workplace better, planning and forging things in advance, and taking care of yourself as well.

Here are 5 ways to beat your dreadful Monday Blues:

Making Your Workplace a Better Place to work

The first step towards making Monday blues better is by making your workplace or college life better. If someone is feeling down on Monday morning, it’s most likely to happen because they are not a fan of their work or college course. Maybe it’s the job itself and college, or maybe it’s the people you work with and your college mates. You need to take a breath or some time to think about what really bothers you about your job and study by brainstorming your head for a period of time. Make a little diary to write down the issues that are really bothering you. Hereby, this principle applies really well no matter what situation you’re in.

Digital Breakups

By digital breakup, it doesn’t mean for you to switch off your mobiles and PC and be on Monk Mode. This only necessitates you to avoid the checking of professional mailers and schedules on weekends about your work life. You need to ignore them until it’s not very urgent and needs immediate attention. During weekends stop worrying about work-life, why to check and worry if you don’t intend to respond it till you reach office on Monday Blues. Another basic reason about Monday feels absurdly painful is that you have let it into your head during your “me” time. The best way to prevent it from the itchy mood on Monday is to switch off the Auto-Sync on weekend; let it be a weekday phenomenon.

Lifestyle

List of Excitement for Monday Blues

Make a list of the exciting things that you will be doing after your restful weekend. Often times we forgot about things we love to do and be out of track and irritated at work, for ignoring this cause look at the upcoming week ahead and make it preplanned with exciting things to do like – cooking, eating, reading, traveling, shopping, spending time with family or meeting friends. Think for 2-3 things per day at the end of Sunday. It really helps us keeping negative work or day vibes away. It also helps us in thinking of all the tough things we have to do and bear during the upcoming week. Hereby, this thing will surely help you to be in a more positive mood. If you can’t think of two-three things you look forward to for the week, then don’t worry start with the single one that you need to make some changes.

better.No matter how important the demands or professional work life get, it’s very important to replenish the lost stores of life as in your relationships alsowith Fitness and Self-Care.

If you notice some things like feeling disconnected with family by work pressure then it’s time to say goodbye to colleagues and start living with family, spouse’s or friends’. The main cause of this conflict between relationships is that you may be spending too much time at work and forgetting your duty towards relations and home. Don’t worry, it’s time to take a step back, and commit to spending more time developing your relationships outside of work.

One simplest way to accomplish this goal is to ask yourself for the office that if you can work from home one day a week for giving that time to family. By doing this you will get at least one cut down for your commuting time and by giving this time to loved ones secure your relationships better with your family.

Invest in your relationships

Invest in your relationships the same as you are investing in office and work.Work-life integration is very important in balancing Work and Life (Relations)

Plan a better sleep schedule

Plan a better sleep schedule during weekends for making your weekdays especially Monday blues more happening. Always plan to go to bed a little earlier during the weekends or Sunday night and be sure to get proper sleep. By having enough sleep hours on your plate then you wake up feeling well-rested on Mondays. It is very important to schedule your sleeping hours during weekend because most of the time Sunday means fundays and you forget about taking proper naps during day and sleep at night. By scheduling the early sleeping habit youlet your body know when to be ready for bed and when to get up as refreshed. One must be sometimes tempted to skip the schedule on the weekends and spend a lot in waking up but you can trigger this bytrying to go to sleep and get up at about the same time on the weekends.

Experience Travelidea Private Limited

Changing the Travel Industry Dynamics by Formulating a Fine Blend of Technology & Tourism

The journey to becoming a pioneer, built on the concrete shoulders of a nascent travel agency, started from a goal instilled with the enthusiasm of a humble and earnest name in the travel landscape, Mr Tushar Tayal, Founder of Experience Travelidea.

A young and dynamic entrepreneur, passionate about both travelling and the environment, he decided to explore the travel and tourism industry at just 17 years. He launched his first business in 2016 as ‘Experience Travelidea’, which is now the fastest-growing travel agency in North-East India.

Travelidea came into existence as a standard travel agency in a price-competitive market. Using the sources and their own travelling experience, the team could escape the price war. They could emerge as a cost leader with initial fund burn and solid relationships with airlines and inventory holders based on profile. However, Tushar did understand that the travel market required more than just affordable costs. Then Travelidea launched their distinctive custom travel options, where they developed unique travel packages for clients in a modular manner, allowing each section to vary with easy pricing.

Travelidea initiated its own CSR project, helping students and medical tourists from less affluent families with the cost of necessary travel. It is also currently funding 10 tickets each month for critically ill patients who have to travel to a different city for treatment.

As soon as Travelidea received its first round of funding, the website www. travelidea.in was launched with 200+

APIs integrated, fetching live airline and hotel prices as well as other information from all over the world. Parallelly, b2b.tarvelidea. in was launched to cater to travel wantrepreneurs who wish to pursue a self-employed career in the travel business as well as travel agents and want to be entrepreneurs, who all have access to the platform. The registrants are given mentoring, marketing guidance, legal help, and a complete technology framework to launch their businesses.

Overcoming the Hurdles along the Way

Starting a business is never easy, and the situation faced by Tushar was no exception. The company was established right before the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely hurt the tourism industry, broke out. Tushar, who was only 17

years old and a travel enthusiast, had no experience with managing a company. He was forced to fight with established competitors in a fiercely competitive market because of his lack of experience. Customers were highly price-sensitive, and there was a lot of unhealthy competition in the travel business.

This made it difficult for Travelidea to stand out and attract new customers. To overcome this challenge, they had to come up with new offerings and innovative ideas to attract customers and differentiate his business from others. In addition to the competitive market, Travelidea faced another major challenge in finding skilled employees in the area. Given Tushar’s youth and the fact that he was still a student, managing both his academic career and the business was a difficult balancing act.

Investment in Travelidea

Travelidea is primarily bootstrapped. The pre-seed has been invested by the founder and his family himself. Travelidea has streamlined and traditional agreements with its suppliers to manage the cash flow in order to meet its working capital needs. Travelidea was able to secure its initial investment of 1.1 million at a 10% stake as its seed 1 investment shortly after the conference when the industry received a resurrection push. However, Travelidea is currently aiming for a Seed 2 investment with a projected valuation of 3 million USD for a 10% interest in order to accomplish its next growth phase goals and objectives. Additionally, Travelidea aims to list on the NSE and BSE by 2027.

The Maverick behind the Success

The man behind the idea, Tushar Tayal, a young and dynamic entrepreneur, is passionate about both travelling and the environment. At just 17 years old, Tushar started his first business, Travelidea, and has since been involved in six different businesses across various industries. He is a visionary who is well-known for creating social company models that benefit the environment and create job opportunities while still making money for investors.

Both Tushar’s professional and academic accomplishments are excellent. Among 1.4 million students, he achieved the top All India Rank in the commerce stream of the CBSE High School Examinations. This outstanding achievement earned him the privilege of being invited to the Rashtrapati Bhavan in India by the President, where he attended the ‘at home reception party’ along with many other delegates. Additionally, he received an invitation from the honourable prime minister, Mr Narendra Modi, to the Republic Day parade.

Tushar has been recognised as a top student at the esteemed SP Jain School of Global Management, where he has attained a rank of 1 in the Dean’s List for an impressive six consecutive semesters, thanks to his entrepreneurial spirit and drive. This demonstrates Tushar’s devotion to accomplishment, hard effort, and dedication.

One of Tushar’s latest ventures, Casa Bambo, is a sustainable bamboo products business based in Sydney, Australia. Tushar’s impressive track record speaks volumes about his entrepreneurial skills and his passion for business. With his unwavering ambition and dedication to making a good effect, Tushar Tayal is certainly a name to watch in the business world.
