THE JOURNEY

The world of finance has always been a complex and dynamic one, with its ever-changing landscape of economic and geopolitical factors influencing the behavior of financial markets. In such a scenario, the role of a trader becomes all the more challenging, with the need to navigate through a sea of information and make sense of it to take profitable trading decisions. This is where the concept of systems trading comes in, which involves the use of computer algorithms to analyze data and identify trading opportunities. One person who has mastered the art of systems trading is Vishvesh Chauhan, a successful trader and a pioneer in the field of algorithmic trading.

Vishvesh Chauhan’s journey in the world of finance began in the early 2000s when he started trading on his account. However, it was only in 2005 that he discovered the power of algorithmic trading, and since then, there has been no looking back for him. Over the years, he has developed several successful trading strategies based on technical analysis, which he has used to generate consistent profits in various financial markets, including equities, currencies, and commodities.

STAYING AHEAD IN THE MARKET

What sets Vishvesh apart from other traders is his deep understanding of the markets and his ability to create trading systems that can adapt to changing market conditions. He has developed several proprietary trading algorithms that use complex mathematical models to identify trading opportunities based on technical indicators such as moving averages, support and resistance levels, and trend lines. These algorithms are designed to be highly scalable and can be used to trade in multiple markets simultaneously, allowing Vishvesh to generate profits with minimal risk.

One of the key advantages of systems trading is that it takes the emotion out of the trading equation. Unlike human traders who are prone to making emotional decisions, algorithmic trading systems make decisions based on hard data and logic, resulting in more consistent and profitable trading outcomes. Vishvesh’s trading systems are designed to be highly automated, with minimal human intervention, thereby reducing the risk of human error and maximizing efficiency.

Over the years, Vishvesh has built a reputation as one of the leading algorithmic traders in India, with a track record of consistently generating profits in various financial markets. He has also been actively involved in mentoring other traders and has conducted several training programs on algorithmic trading. He firmly believes that algorithmic trading is the future of finance and that it is only a matter of time before it becomes the norm in the industry.

Vishvesh Chauhan is a true pioneer in the world of algorithmic trading, with a deep understanding of the markets and a talent for developing profitable trading systems. His success is a testament to the power of

algorithmic trading and the potential it holds for the future of finance. As the industry continues to evolve and adapt to new technologies, it is traders like Vishvesh who will continue to lead the way and push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of finance.

PARTING WORDS

Before signing off, the visionary shared a few words of wisdom by quoting, “Over a period of years and the experience so far, I have realized that one should be very humble because I think humbleness is something that is very important when it comes to the business world. If you believe in possessing any type of ego, you won’t be able to survive. Simultaneously, you need to be persistent with your approach. Also, for the coming entrepreneurs out there, I would just say that you need to be very good with people. you need to be polite. if you want to be an entrepreneur, then you should be ready to face failures. you should be ready to listen. you need to be ready to face people who will say that this is something not good enough. entrepreneurship is all about taking that calculated risk. Also, if you are somebody who is ready to risk a comfort zone and shift to the approach of ‘i’m having whatever you wanted to I am losing what you have,’ then you are entrepreneur material.”

Supreme Fashion Accessory

Sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory, almost worn by everyone, and without them most wouldn’t leave home. When the sun is glaring off the town and you pick your sunglasses out of your back, once you lip them on, you instantly change your appearance.

Reasons Why Sunglasses Acts More Than Just An Accessory

It’s no longer a medical necessity, just a style need. The dreary vision-correcting computer machine revamped surprisingly into a cool and swanky faddish accessory. The rage is so strong that, just for the sake of fashion even people with perfect vision wear lenses.

Ashwathy Nair | Business Connect

PROTECT EYES FROM UV RAYS

One of the most significant advantages of wearing sunglasses is that they shield the eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation and the fragile skin around them. 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.

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.

Some Top Sunglasses Brands

Niyogin is a Sanskrit word for “empowerment.” After getting a deep understanding of the real daily problems of small businesses, Niyogin was conceptualized with a vision to have a substantial impact on the lives of small businesses by giving them solutions that leverage the power of digital technology combined with a trusted partner network.

In accordance with the partner-led strategy, the team also works with local MSMEs and other enterprise partners who have a sizable and established distribution infrastructure.

Domestic Money Transfer (DMT), Micro ATM (M-ATM), Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AePS), Aadhaar Pay, and Microinsurance are a few of the services they offer.

WHAT GIVES NIYOGIN AN EDGE OVER THE PEERS?

While there are many things that differentiate Niyogin Fintech from the rivals, there are two significant factors. First is the financial inclusion problem they are trying to tackle. Niyogin has they employed a customer-centric approach with the intention of empowering 900 million rural Indians and underutilised MSMEs. With the help of this target consumer group, they are focused on offering broad financial inclusion.

NIYOGIN’S INNOVATIVE WORK CULTURE

Niyogin Fintech houses some of the most intelligent minds that come from diverse backgrounds. Niyogin stands for ‘empowerment,’ which is imbibed within the organization as well. The management has built a culture that is inclusive, transparent, focused on aligning personal goals with organizational goals and promotes open communication wherein it allows the employees to share their thoughts and ideas without any restraints. The employees are the pillars of the organization, and therefore Niyogin is building high-performing teams, promoting creativity, inducting leadership at all levels and preparing them for higher positions.

OBSTACLES ON THE WAY

When building a customer base, in the initial years, a fintech company witnesses a very high capital burn rate and this has been one of the most prevalent problems in the fintech sector. Niyogin, which recognised this issue very early on, has successfully reduced the costs associated with customer acquisition. Instead of establishing the network from scratch, their partner-led model is intended to make use of the existing network of financial professionals, BC, and Enterprise partners to connect with the target audience. With cost-effective market access provided by partners, both Rural Tech and Urban Tech operate on a partner-led model, which reduces both the capital burn rate and customer acquisition costs. The platform’s goal is to enable partners to provide top-notch services using world-class goods.

ACHIEVEMENTS ON THE WAY

Niyogin Fintech has emerged as the “Go To” partner for the technical architecture to deliver financial inclusion products, and that makes the team immensely proud of what they are building. Recently, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) added the subsidiary iServeU to its list of certified technology partners. At the Global Fintech Festival, NPCI also formally acknowledged iServeU as the first Technology Service Provider (TSP) for going live with Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS).

FUTURE OUTLOOK – WHAT’S NEXT?

FY2023 has been an year of build for Niyogin Fintech as the team directed their energies on implementing product propositions and executing the current existing partnerships. Going forward, they will continue to develop and release items simultaneously in the future. They will also be working on their intellectual property, which will aid in their expansion throughout the ensuing years.

“Our three-year plan has been termed as ‘Hypergrowth strategy’ wherein we expect our Gross Transaction Value (GTV) to grow more than 11 times over the next three years, from over Rs. 9,000 crores in FY 2022 to over Rs.1 lakh crores in FY 2025. We aim to increase the number of BC agents or touch points by 6-8 times, from close to 247,000 to roughly 1.5–2 million.” The visionary CEO Tashwinder Singh confidently announced, “We anticipate that this would enable us to become a Rs. 500 crore revenue firm by FY 2025 and to produce an EBITDA margin of 10%-12%.

Words of Wisdom, by

TASHWINDER SINGH, MD & CEO of Niyogin Fintech

I want to promote the idea of growing a company in a calibrated manner. After the initial build is over, which obviously requires a lot of investment, your hunger for success and growing the topline should not come at the cost of a decrease in shareholders’ wealth. I would also like to add that one should dream big and keep eyeing new opportunities that can be leveraged and align well with your ultimate vision for the Company.

Will Teaching From Behind A Mask Affect Communication & Learning ?

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, after spending so many months at home, children around the world are returning to school. Things at school won’t be as same as before, there will be a set of new rules and regulations that will be mandated to follow. One of the most important rules that would be listed at the top is to wear a mask. Masks have become the most common part of our lives now but the question arises, how children will adapt to such a new environment at schools? How will teaching and learning behind a mask affect the learning?

When the matter of communication comes, the first thing that approaches to our mind is talking through our mouths in order to create sounds and speech. However, contact actually requires a range of visual and audio signals, such as facial expressions, gestures and eye gaze, as well as speech.

The face, from which observers can quickly and easily generate a variety of readings, is one of the most important tools in human communication. The most basic type of human communication is through facial expressions.

Will children be able to adapt to this new normal of education through behind the mask? How can face masks change the learning environment?

At school, for children, it is more convenient to retain knowledge and understand new concepts of learnings through gestures. The way children interact and understand is through the assistance of both visual and audio sensory inputs. Although, gestures could prove helpful as teachers communicate from behind the mask, if visual speech signals are fully obscured, learning would certainly be impaired. But how, and to what extent?

The lower half of the face is obscured by masks that limit the ability to speak, perceive and imitate the gestures of those with whom we communicate. Positive emotions become less noticeable, amplifying negative emotions. In general, emotional mimicry, contagion, and emotionality are reduced and that way the bonding between teachers and students might get disturbed.

Every child cannot adapt to communicating with masks, some children may face difficulties. For instance, children those are deaf or have some hearing issues mostly rely on lip-reading but due to the wearing of masks, they could fall behind. Teachers may have to come up with some ideas and adapt their strategies according to the needs of the students.

Communication & Learning

Well, soon the schools will reopen and children will be back to their school life but things won’t be the same as earlier. There will be new rules, new methods of learning etc. we are all aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives a lot and people are trying to adapt to the new normal.

There is a widespread apprehension as the school years approach to begin. While it remains to be seen exactly how will children be reacting to the situation where teachers will be teaching them wearing masks. The most important thing for both children and teachers is to adjust to the new normal.

“Face features (such as the size and shape of the nose, the colour of the eyes, etc.) and their formation are not only used to describe faces but also to infer the emotions they convey”.
