“Our peers are focused on making doctors, pharmacies and other healthcare professionals compete with each other for their businesses. Instead, these professionals should be collaborating in order to ensure the end-goal of their services i.e. to render the patients with the best possible medical solutions. Neither do we promote pharmacies that provide the highest discounts, nor do we favor any doctors. We offer transparency in our rendered services which empowers the patient with unbiased and full-fledged information.” conveys Mr. Shah.

ARIVATION HEALTHCARE A promise to serve the needs of those in need

The digitalisation drive in India has positively contributed to the economic and social well-being of the country’s residents in numerous ways. One band of this spectrum is Digital Health, which is the concurrence of health, healthcare and society with digital technology, to boost the effectiveness of healthcare delivery. It has become a revolutionary measure to help people access higher standards of healthcare solutions.

Acknowledging the scope of the Digital Health domain, Medify Nexus LLP has entered the industry intending to close the gap between the healthcare ecosystem and the general population. The 21- year old Founder and Designated Partner, Mr. Kairav Shah, says, “In a country where medicines are dispensed in the same manner as candy, a majority of the population still lacks adequate knowledge about basic healthcare. The need of the hour is a platform that brings the entire healthcare ecosystem to people’s fingertips. We aim to bridge this gap with our digital health software, Medify.”

DODGING THE OBSTACLES Mr. Shah confronted the biggest challenge: the validation of his Innovative Idea and the Vision he proposed, due to his young age. Most of the people around him were skeptical about the project he wanted to pursue as his career goal. Many were doubtful about whether a student at such a young age should be handed the responsibility of executing a project of such great magnitude and proportion. In various instances, he was tested for his knowledge of various technologies and frameworks.

This ideology possessed by the key officials of the company is appreciable and people who may have benefitted from this approach would be grateful for their thoughtful insights. Their transparency in the offered assistance has raised the standards of services provided to the patients and offers them the liberty to seek medical aid from their trustworthy doctors and pharmacies at a reasonable cost.

US who developed an application to verify medical documents. This sparked the ideation of Medify. I acknowledged the fact that India is in desperate need of a platform like this. I did plenty of research and discovered that most pharmacies sell highly regulated drugs without the proper prescriptions, which is a major compromise on the established norms of dispensation. I also came across many healthcare applications that lured people into monetary schemes. Intending to change this landscape, I set out to provide people with an affordable solution to many of their medical needs through Medify.”

KEEPING PACE WITH THE MARKET TRENDS Earlier, the concept of Medify was different, concerning its current functionalities. It was way too time-consuming for the doctors and patients to use the previous model that had a complex structure. Hence, the team updated the application in a manner that allowed doctors to maintain their consultation papers and patient records through an app, all of which could be accessed at any required point in the future. Slowly, the company expanded its services and incorporated retail pharmacies into the application as well. Thus, it gradually evolved from a Prescription Verification Software to an absolute Healthcare Suite that included the three major protagonists of the healthcare industry. WHAT GIVES MEDIFY AN EDGE OVER ITS COMPETITORS Mr. Shah believes in collaboration and not in competition. By way of collaboration, he intends to offer quality services to the app users.

always on priority for Lifesculpt. To make learning easy and interesting is ensured by them. They are evolving rapidly and independently without seeking any help from the government schemes offering loans, guidance and incubators for new start-ups. Despite being up-to-date with all the related schemes offered by the Ministry of MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises), Lifesculpt is rising on its own. Ever since its inception, the company has gained a customer-base of thousands of students within a small time period of 6 months. Receiving emails on a daily basis by the learners suggesting their requirements is surely pointing towards a bright future for Lifesculpt OPC Pvt. Ltd.

VALUING THE WORKFORCE A thoughtful approach towards the workforce forms the backbone to the success of a company. A satisfied employee ensures a satisfied customer. Keeping these facts at the center of their employee handling, Lifesculpt believes in the collaborative growth of its employees, customers and the company. Most of the work is accomplished through free-lancers and affiliates instead of a full-time workforce, to ensure a cost-effective business, beneficial to the students as well.

This field has its own challenges. There is a cut-throat competition among the players, with many offering the similar kinds of courses to the students. Acquiring the learner-trust and finding niche are the major struggles. Lifesculpt doesn’t believe in compromising the quality of its services and has managed to reach a larger audience because of the courses offered in Hindi as well, which is much convenient for a majority of students. Successfully attaining their trust, it has gained a considerable amount of publicity through word-ofmouth.

Blatantly making money is never the objective of this start-up. It goes along with the student, hand-in-hand throughout his or her learning journey with it, thereby valuing the invested time and resources efficiently. Staying in constant contact with the students and taking up their doubts through Email, Whatsapp, Telephone, Video calls, etc. to ensure their complete understanding on the topics, gives an edge to it.

Learning through online courses facilitates flexible schedule and environment. Moreover, it lowers the learning costs on many fronts, like the expenses of commutation are saved, one can pursue his or her profession simultaneously and can share knowledge with others as well. Lifesculpt is a medium to make education accessible to all and is giving back to the society by enhancing the knowledge-quality of the youth.

A MESSAGE FOR OUR READERS The Director’s message to the budding entrepreneurs is to have faith in themselves, resilience and hard-work to survive the ebbs and flows of business. Courageously leaving a full-time job and taking the big leap of faith requires immense trust in oneself.

IN HOUSE CONTENT

Effective book reading is a key skill to study as an active reader. Many people enjoy book reading as a way to relax and enrich their minds with the power of knowledge. Best Reading is also an invincible and amazing skill to learn and develop to be successful in the professional world. There is another interesting fact about the eye movement of a reader is that. If you record the eye movement of someone reading, you will notice that, from time to time, the reader goes back and looks again at something he has read before. In other words he regresses to an earlier part of the text; probably he realizes he does not understand passage properly. Then the reader comes back to where he left off and continued reading. At one time, it was thought that regression was a fault, but it is intact a very necessary activity in efficient reading. Hereby, this is important to be efficient to be a good reader. If you want to be able to read books faster, the secret is simply to practice under timed conditions and serenity. This means that you should give yourself a certain amount of time to read with proper understanding, then check your time if you have finished. Here are the key rules and different strategies for reading books. Follow these easy steps to get on your way to be a perfect reader.

EFFECTIVE READING TECHNIQUES •

Do not to study books, while lying on a bed because it takes you to the kingdom of drowsiness and eventually to the realm of sleepiness while you study.

Using Google in between distracts your overall mental reading schedule. •

When you plan to study a book make sure to check its validity and acceptance by the scholar persons and read reviews and summaries to get motivation. It will enhance your inner will to read more efficiently.

It would be a great idea if you can maintain a daily routine to evenly distribute 5 minutes of your day to effective reading.

Use an alarm clock that makes you aware of the proper utilization of time.

Choose a topic that you are really interested in studying and your favorite author.

Switch off your phone along with other distracting devices to get rid of the annoying notifications and messages while reading.

Memorize only the points of a topic, not whole text and jot down the points on a notebook so that you can revise them off and on in future if you want.

Try to maintain an even sleep pattern that even affects your mental stability of reading anything (sleep and get up at the same time regularly) with a duration of 8 hours sleep. An adequate amount of sleep helps you concentrate on anything including reading.

Test your reading speed and time then compare the speed to the average readers’ speed. If you were a slow reader then start taking notes, it will enhance your will power it would take more time to complete your lesson. Luckily there are still a number of ways to improve reading speed.

If you are reading any novel or a book than try to start from the beginning not in between or from the back. Trust me; it will destroy all of your enthusiasm to read the entire book. For example, what if you knew that the hero of the Titanic movie would be dead before watching the movie? So try to do it in pattern.

When you are facing difficulties to grasp a topic, don’t skimp on taking help from Google, try to use a dictionary and manual help from your teachers.

Last but not least, make your reading fun, drink or eat some healthy food while reading; it will maintain your interest.

Talking about the pioneer of IT, Mondal Cybernetics Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated on 20th November, 2018, under the ‘Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ of Government of India. Mondal Cybernetics Pvt. Ltd. is growing and working with a mission to acquire positive business-driven outputs and quality solutions for each and every client. They work towards creating a difference of positive workforce that is totally different from others and has marked presence in India and the USA. The corporate office is located in Jamshedpur. The Organisation is engaged in providing solutions with Web Design, Web Development, Logo Design, Android App Development, SEO Optimisation, providing 24x7 quality services to the customers in the domain of Custom Software Solutions, Project Management along with chromatic and businessdriven websites and affordable SEO services.

AN EDGE OVER THE PEERS Whether it is the tourism industry or IT sector, every company requires payment after services but at Galaxy International, the procedure is a bit different and attention-seeking. Before offering the services, they check the Client’s profile, if the Client is trustable, then they don’t make any deposit. After providing the travel package and all the pertaining facilities, they charge the customers.

The Company holds great plans for its future. According to Mr. Subhajit, within 2022, they plan to have more offices. Right now, they have 8 offices in 7 different countries, so he wants to expand 50+ offices in

In the IT sector, once they provide services like software or anything after 3 years, if any kind of changes or modifications are required, they do free. They have tied up with the HDFC Bank, so those who have an account of this bank can get a 6 percent discount on the package. Moreover, Galaxy International has discovered some of the new and exciting countries to travel and explore.

There are some companies which offer services to the customers that are not at all fruitful to them or we can say the process and on this, they are charging quite high.

When your employees are happy and satisfied, then your customers will feel the same. On the same notion, Mr. Subhajit Mondal says,

“Customer and employee

satisfaction and happiness are the cornerstones to achieve success and a clear vision is a key to establish an organisation. Good management is a pointer to achieve both and can make an Organisation into a profitable, happy and successful one.

Profitable Business Model

In every pattern of business, we need to understand that the business model ought to go with the flow. In any service sector business has a profitable scope to grow. As all business needs Reputation, Revenue and Branding, they understand the sector in which they work and the way they serve to their clients. 2.

There was a time when businesses would hire a marketing firm to handle everything. But it will benefit most entrepreneurs to tackle as much of the marketing by their company repetitive only. Delegation and determination are two key “talents” of entrepreneurs strengthened by taking an active role in their marketing campaign.

First Repeat Client

Sweet, sweet exchange of words and services. Landing their first repeat client will give them the confidence in their business and the motivation keeps them going. The keyword here is “repeat.” 3.

They have hired and trained a team. As we know the company is nothing separate from its employees so a trained team can make any impossible thing possible. 14


5.

Mr. Subhajit Mondal points to the struggles in the trajectory they under went whilst talking with us. Big companies offer promises which they never fulfill. So, eventually, it was a challenge for Galaxy to walk on the promises, which they committed. Secondly, Pricing was an issue. Everyone needed quality services at a limited price, which was not possible to achieve as the Company did not have adequate manpower.

Reach a Significant Number of Sales

They have developed a profitable business model, created a scalable marketing strategy and found the perfect team – then they are on a pace for lasting success. They set a specific goal for sales. Without a goal, the business will stagnate. Having a goal helps them to continue moving towards your target growth.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Determine an ambitious, yet achievable, dollar figure for their business.

In-depth research is instrumental to advance in any sphere or process. Therefore, it plays a pivotal role in both the companies and the management has separate teams to encourage the process. For the tourism industry, the R&D team explores odd and interesting places, discovers the transportation and accommodation facilities over there.

CHALLENGES IN THE ROUTE

Jimmy Dean said, “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

In the domain of IT, the team of Research and Development checks the availability of software, some types of software are too costly, and then after deep study and analysis, they try to find alternative options. Hence, the main motto is to invent newer ones at cheaper prices, which can run long.

KEEPING ABREAST OF THE TECHNOLOGY

The need to walk with the latest technological advancements is quite essential and intelligent in today’s time.The same is with the Mondal Cybernetics Pvt. Ltd., it focuses on how to keep abreast of it. In alignment with the technologies used in the USA and Australia, the Company put its best efforts to bring the newer dimensions. However, in India, the technology that is brought by China is used, which is good but it can’t be used for a long time. Thereby, in Mondal Cybernetics software and applications used are redirected by Australia and Europe itself, which is used for a long time. There is great heed paid to maintain the high security of software and technology in Australia and Europe than in China.

Due to the lockdown, people have been facing a lot of issues. In order to improve the issues, a lot of start-ups have stepped up to help people.

RESOLVING ALL YOUR BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS WITH IMPECCABLE BIOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS

H

umans are progressing tremendously that is incredible, but what about the degradation of this environment with the advent of technological dominance and science? Awareness and conscious actions are needed to counteract the disastrous actions of beings. Rebecca Environment Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. came into existence to offer feasible and environment-friendly solutions to the alarming issues. At Rebbeca Environment Engineering Solutions Private Limited, they work with a mission to ‘Keep Clean – Go Green’. They work towards combining modern technology with the fundamentals of nature to provide biological solutions to biological problems. With the onset of the industrial revolution and the emergence of innovative ideas, their company attempts to evolve products with an eco-friendly progressive methodology. Their products and services are not only of fine quality but they take pride in delivering products with low maintenance charges. 21

They value customer’s satisfaction and aim to provide the finest quality of products by exclusive scrutiny of the raw materials from their trusted vendors. Ashish Seline Paius says, “We need to meet the needs and expectations of our clientele groups and we strive to deliver their orders within the time frame.” Incorporating modern infrastructure which encompasses high-end quality testing units and spacious warehousing facilities in their services, they offer commendable solutions. To ensure the supreme quality standards, they test their products under strict quality parameters to make sure that only the best products are being delivered to their clientele. Their team consists of skilled environmentalists who have a vast knowledge of this domain and their main aim is to bring the ecological revolution which is the need of the hour.

THE ENLIGHTENING IDEA Ashish Seline Paius states, “The idea of starting a business and that too in the environment sector was by Mr. Amit Paius, Director, Rebbeca Environment Engineering Solutions Pvt Ltd. I was working for a project in Saudi Arabia at that time. It was in April 2015, after the inception of the company, that I joined Rebbeca as a CEO. My initial struggle was to find an investor for the company because our funds were exhausted by the time we incorporated and set up the business. To run the show, we needed office rent, office expenses, stationaries, salaries, fuel, advertisements, brochures, etc. That was the time we managed to get Mrs. Sreejitha PV as an investor and shareholder to the company. When we started the venture, we were concentrating only on the Sewage Treatment Plant. But the conversion ratio of Sewage Treatment Plants was in decimals. About 2 to 3 confirmed orders in a year. Sustainability was still a question mark. I decided to diversify the business. We started bringing Industrial Reverse Osmosis, Water Purifiers, and small Effluent Treatment Plants. We gradually expanded our business by starting Professional Audio Video Solutions with the parent www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

22

company Audiotechnik India Solutions Pvt Ltd. A recent addition to our business is the construction division, where one project is already completed and handed over and we are starting another one soon. The basic idea was to ensure the money inflow and outflow. We have always ensured that payment of the salaries and wages does not lead to an unnecessary increase in our liabilities. This financial year, after generating a turnover which crossed Rs. 10 crores, we are in a proud position with no loans, overdrafts or arrears.”

FOR ENSURING THE QUALITY Encouraging the standards of quality in the processes and systems, Rebecca pays great heed to it. On the same notion, they have several segments of businesses. With the help of the Sewage Treatment Plant and through natural technology, they are the only company that guarantees a no sludge and no smell system with full water fit to be reused. Secondly, the Industrial RO plant. They design the plant in such a way that the wastewater is not more than 25-28%. The third segment is, audio and video, they have designed audio video solutions in


such places where one could not imagine anything beyond a box and that too at an economical price. Lastly, the construction division. They never compromise on the quality of the materials being used and they believe in delivering it on time. Their inspection department always conducts random checks on the materials on their sites as well as in the warehouses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT For getting into the intricacies of the process, it is indispensable to encourage R&D in the Company as it is instrumental. So, in the technology of their STP, they are just breeding atmospheric bacteria and executing it for treatment. Without R&D, such breeding would not have been possible. They have to keep on researching what more can be done to save this earth. For their Reverse Osmosis, the reject water used to be 65-70%. They have built on ideas where they have managed to bring it down to about 28%. The next challenge is to bring it down to about 15%. The CEO says, Even then when I see if I am wasting 15% water in a 10,000-liter tank per day per institution and if I consider only my customer base, then our clients themselves are wasting about 300,000 liters of water every day. Our R&D

department is working continuously to bring this wastage of water to minimal. It is the same for all other areas in which we are operating. R&D gives us more ideas. More ideas mean more innovations and more innovations means more business to us.�

TECHNOLOGY As discussed in the introductory paragraph, technology has revolutionized almost every domain. This technology has been in existence since 1957. However, it has only been about 10 years since this technology was implemented in India. Technology has advanced to such a level where people have started relying completely on it rather than on human ability. For example automation of your homes and you switch on your air conditioner or light miles away. The remote of your car gives you access to start the car and start the air conditioning even before you are in. Robotics vacuum cleaner cleans your entire house by the time you reach back from your office. All these technologies are reducing communication among human beings. As far as their company is concerned, they have used whatever is important for them to survive. At Rebecca, they have not gone to the extent of adapting any rigid technological

Rebecca Environment Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 23

Rebecca Environment Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. advancement, which cannot be changed later. They are doing a phenomenal job. Ashish Seline Paius states, “We still maintain attendance register for attendance rather than biometrics so that the person who signs the register and person who is there in the reception at least shares a hello amongst each other. We still brew our coffee in our office with our own hands without using a coffee machine. We still believe in the distribution of handsets and brochures by a person more than a digital marketing.”

VALUES AND ETHICS Ensuring a balance between personal and professional life, Ashish Seline Paius encourages strong values and ethics. A few guiding principles – Family first, Gain perspective and trust your instincts, ‘Give Caesar what’s due to Caesar.’ As a young child, Ashish was greatly influenced by his parents who were strong personalities in their terms. His father was an engineer and he was in a PSU. He was deep into the philosophies and techniques of management. They grew up listening to and discussing Drucker and Dale Carnegie influences as much as union negotiation tactics and the importance of worklife balance, at the dinner table. Naturally, he dreamt of a career in management and leading an www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

24

organization at some point in time. He also had a dream of becoming a surgeon; probably his Mother’s influence and nobody told him that he should have only one dream. One of the things that define him is his ability to embrace diversity, in thoughts, hobbies (equally fond of Carnatic, Indian folk and western styles of art, music and dance); people (can have long conversations and strike a relationship with public workers as much as with senior professionals at work and so on). Much of this was the training of his Father. He says, “I thrive on diversity so much that I actively pursue it and schedule it into my life (partly how I end up being a part of various industry forums, Rottmans alumni volunteer group, dance groups, church group, family dedicated time, etc.). My father was an exponent of a healthy worklife balance for higher productivity and I learned it from the way he lived his life. My wife is a lawyer who teaches in a university and is doing her Ph.D. in law as well. But we still try to find time amongst each other. The idea is you have to find that time for yourself. If you keep on complaining that I am busy and I don’t have time, then you would never find that time. For instance, when we were not getting adequate time for each other then we decided that we will go for work out together. So, we drive to the gym together, we


work out together and we drive back together. While driving back we usually pray together. So, it’s an individual choice whether he or she wants to maintain that balance in professional and personal life.”

ACHIEVEMENTS AND MILESTONES Their continuous efforts and positive thoughts are

directed towards escalating the performance of the Company. As they are not some national level achievers but they did quite a remarkable work in their ways. When they joined this company in 2015, the revenue of the company was close to nil. They all struggled in and out for our lives for making this business a success. A lot of them sacrificed their white-collar jobs and joined here with less salary to make a common vision a success. Till 2016, they were just playing with the investors’ money. They were not getting any good breakthrough where they could just start playing, you see. Today they have crossed a turnover of about 10 cr. They have successfully installed 145 Industrial Reverse Osmosis Plants PAN India. They have given our STP solutions all over India, including the remote areas of India. Till today no one has been able to challenge the quality of work they do in the field of environment and Sewage Treatment. Their professionalism and engineering in

audio and video keep them as No.1 in the industry. They have a very good team that executes their work efficiently.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

In the future, they intend to go slow. They are not worried about the turnover of the company now. By the grace of God, they can manage that part well. They are limiting their projects because they believe in quality. Taking up more projects at this point, it will not allow the CEO to give individual attention to every project. And at this point, he can’t risk the loss of individual attention. This company is still in its infancy stage. Monetarily if they start thinking, probably the graph of accounts will go up but it will be difficult to maintain the quality and services. Accordingly, they have less manpower also. Increasing the number of projects will give the employees more burdens, which will lower down the morale. He says, “As of now, I plan not to take more than 5 civil projects (middle level) for the entire financial year and not more than 5-6 Reverse Osmosis Plants a month, not more than 1 STP a month and not more than 3 audio video projects a month. This number is calculated with the limitation of manpower and resource which we have at this point.”

Effective book reading is a key skill to study as an active reader. Many people enjoy book reading as a way to relax and enrich their minds with the power of knowledge. Best Reading is also an invincible and amazing skill to learn and develop to be successful in the professional world. There is another interesting fact about the eye movement of a reader is that. If you record the eye movement of someone reading, you will notice that, from time to time, the reader goes back and looks again at something he has read before. In other words he regresses to an earlier part of the text; probably he realizes he does not understand passage properly. Then the reader comes back to where he left off and continued reading. At one time, it was thought that regression was a fault, but it is intact a very necessary activity in efficient reading. Hereby, this is important to be efficient to be a good reader. If you want to be able to read books faster, the secret is simply to practice under timed conditions and serenity. This means that you should give yourself a certain amount of time to read with proper understanding, then check your time if you have finished. Here are the key rules and different strategies for reading books. Follow these easy steps to get on your way to be a perfect reader.

EFFECTIVE READING TECHNIQUES •

Do not to study books, while lying on a bed because it takes you to the kingdom of drowsiness and eventually to the realm of sleepiness while you study.

Using Google in between distracts your overall mental reading schedule. •

When you plan to study a book make sure to check its validity and acceptance by the scholar persons and read reviews and summaries to get motivation. It will enhance your inner will to read more efficiently.

It would be a great idea if you can maintain a daily routine to evenly distribute 5 minutes of your day to effective reading.

Use an alarm clock that makes you aware of the proper utilization of time.

Choose a topic that you are really interested in studying and your favorite author.

Switch off your phone along with other distracting devices to get rid of the annoying notifications and messages while reading.

Memorize only the points of a topic, not whole text and jot down the points on a notebook so that you can revise them off and on in future if you want.

Try to maintain an even sleep pattern that even affects your mental stability of reading anything (sleep and get up at the same time regularly) with a duration of 8 hours sleep. An adequate amount of sleep helps you concentrate on anything including reading.

Test your reading speed and time then compare the speed to the average readers’ speed. If you were a slow reader then start taking notes, it will enhance your will power it would take more time to complete your lesson. Luckily there are still a number of ways to improve reading speed.

If you are reading any novel or a book than try to start from the beginning not in between or from the back. Trust me; it will destroy all of your enthusiasm to read the entire book. For example, what if you knew that the hero of the Titanic movie would be dead before watching the movie? So try to do it in pattern.

When you are facing difficulties to grasp a topic, don’t skimp on taking help from Google, try to use a dictionary and manual help from your teachers.

Last but not least, make your reading fun, drink or eat some healthy food while reading; it will maintain your interest.

BCM REVIEW

THE HOW TO

IN

PREPARE FOR THE GREAT UNKNOWN

Mark Taiwan once said, “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” This thought I have been keeping in mind for a quite few years when I realized that too much worrying about something that probably doesn’t matter in my cases and never going to happen. In January I heard that a virus is spreading all across the world from China. At the moment I took simply just because of this thought. But On March 25, 2020, Indian prime minster Modi announced that India is going to be completely lockdown for 21 days. At the moment, this thought blew up. I never knew in such kind of incident is going to happen. Later, I started drawing a big picture in my mind how our lives and cities are going to look like. I’m sure most of you have pictured it as well.

Stay healthy

The more important thing to do is stay healthy. Gyms are closed and there are very few grocery stores are

Since at the moment, we are unknown and don’t know how long this virus will be around us, so I have made a few checklists to stay productive while not being fully active.

Stay Informed

running at the moment. I would highly recommend you make some exercise environment at home. You can do exercise on your terrace or in your own room. Since every junk food shops and restaurants are shut down, people are cooking foods themselves at home, which is great for our health. But don’t fall into the trap of drinking all night and sleeping all day.

The COVID 19 pandemic is making our life miserable these days, we have been instructed by the government to stay home as much as possible and keep washing hands and many more. In such a situation, there are a lot of fake news are being viral via Social media, and most people don’t know what are the truths about it. To get rid of misconception, you have to update yourself so that you can act accordingly. Here you can believe in some genuine websites. If you are looking COVID 19 pandemic related news or new update, you should check out the WHO (World Health Organization) website. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

Get Medical Help If You Need It

If you are sick or feeling unwell, I would suggest you make a call to your family doctor or near the hospital. Tell 28


them about your symptoms, also, you can inform doctors via mobile phone about your neighborhood illness (in case they are not going to doctor). We should lead by example in our leadership to aid our societies to return to a wealthy and healthy state. The advantage to community and overall business would be fruitful eventually.

Maintain Your Finance

just do what you like to do by staying home because the day is coming closer and once again we will back to our normal life and all of us being able to pursue our endurance again. Positively change your perspective about this situation and look at it as a productive vacation. Be grateful for what you have instead of fretting about what we don’t.

Help The Community

as we all are in quarantine and we are missing things out, but there are a lot of people who are doing much worse in this situation. In spite of lockdown, a lot of people are returning home from metropolitan towns because they don’t have enough food and essential things to live life. So, if you can help them in any way, we strongly suggest you do so. In this way, you can make lockdown successful.

Economists have been doing math since they have heard that the whole world is locked down. People have been told that the whole market will be close except for essential business. I know this is more important to prevent the virus. But the most important thing you have to consider how long your saving balance will put food on your table and pay your bills without revenue coming in. This is about deficiency control, new revenue streams, and communication. Weather, you have a business that is still running or your revenue stream is shut down for a limited period of time. You have to keep updating your customers and employees about when you are going to potentially be up and open again, and what are you providing if you are still running, and start figuring out ways to monetize things your business or brand can provide that might you never even thought before.

Although, there are a lot of NGOs and social activists are helping those people now. Recently, I watched a video where an IAS officer was distributing foods among the homeless and daily wage people. However, that is not enough for such kind of population we all have to contribute ourselves to help others.

Keep Fighting The Good Fight

currently, we all are in a very challenging time and we want to get out of this situation. At the time all we can do is follow the above steps. Also, keeping in mind those five points that keep you safe from the virus.

Be Grateful

seeing such kind of situation, it is easy to have fear and uncertainty around us, which can let us fall down the rabbit hole of depression and negativity. With every single day that passes, it will be another missed opportunity, so don’t miss it and be grateful,

One more important thing, be thankful to those doctors who are working so hard to recover coronavirus patients. 29

THE 20 MOST PROMISING

STARTUPS IN INDIA 2020

Arivation healthcare A PROMISE TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THOSE IN NEED Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect Lately, India has become an entrepreneurial hub as several startups are emerging every year in various areas. We are witnessing many start-ups here and there related to Digital Marketing, Education, Manufacturing, IT solutions, etc but, a few of the entrepreneurs have the service mindset to contribute to the noble cause of alleviating the human sufferings in the society. Arivation healthcare has intervened in the market with a unique business module and a vision to serve society by offering healthcare products and services. Arivation healthcare has created an ecosystem niche that can bridge the healthcare gaps in the field of Hemodialysis, Diagnostics, and Pathology with its innovative products and best in the class solutions along with strategies to improve the business operations, investment, and marketing functions of the relevant service providers. With around two decades of industry experience in healthcare, the Key Official of the Company envisions to evolve and strive as an atmosphere of innovation and ideas that can make a difference for its customers. The team has a focused approach of connecting medical professionals, hospitals, patients and OEM.

ARUP DHOLEY Director

The product orientation segment of the Company focuses on – Medical equipment and diagnostics (Manufacturing), Dialysis consumables (Manufacturing), Life science and Bioinformatics (Software) . Here, they deal with the needs of instruments and equipment related to dialysis by manufacturing the revolutionary in-home portable dialysis RO equipment that the company has claimed to launch in the country by seeking inspiration from future technology that will revolutionize the healthcare sector in many aspects.

“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.” -Mr. Arup Dholey www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

The service orientation segment of the Company aims at - A turnkey establishment for Dialysis centers, Marketing & Data Analytics, NPI, KPI, KOL Studies, Experimental Data Analytics, Track & Optimizing Campaign, Transactional support, Clinical Audit & Training Program.

A BRIEF ABOUT THE KEY OFFICIAL

Mr. Arup Dholey- Director Mr. Arup has attained his MBA from ISB, Hyderabad 30


and BE Electronics from NU. With over two decades 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION IN COMBATING THE DEADLY COVID- 19

BARGACH FINANCE PVT. LTD. Ashwathy Nair | Business Connect

RAHUL JOHRI

Chairman, Bargach Finance

A LEADING FINANCIAL SERVICE PROVIDER WITH A PURPOSE f we look and compare the lifestyle of city dwellers with people in Rural and Semi-Urban India, we can spot a humongous difference. Lack of basic amenities like sanitation, drainage system, clean drinking water, wall plastering, cemented floor, maintained roofs, etc. are the common issues with which people are constantly struggling in rural and semi-urban India even in this era of incredible advancement. The primary reason behind the above-mentioned issue is the lack of funds to provide a better and healthy lifestyle. Bargach Finance Pvt. Ltd. came into existence to provide a funding solution to financially excluded customers for this concern. Bargach Finance Private Limited (Bargach) is registered as a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act 2013. The Company has its www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

head office in Kolkata, West Bengal and offers small-ticket loans of INR 50,000, INR 75,000, INR 1,00,000 for a tenure of 2 years. Bargach has applied for an NBFC-ND license from the RBI.

Sighting the kind of affirmative response they have got from their clients, they have planned their expansion in the states of Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Tripura in the next 3 years.

Rahul Johri is the Chairman of Bargach Finance Pvt. Ltd. Under his vision and entrepreneurial skills, the Company is making rapid progress. The leadership team also comprises of Prasanta Kumar Sahu (Director) and Sumit Hans (Chief Operating Officer)

HOW DID IT START?

Loans are provided for Home Improvement, Drinking Water and Sanitation to women customers in rural and semi-urban locations, having a similar socio-economic profile, through seven branches spread in West Bengal, managed by Branch Heads and Relationship Officers. 32

In these crucial times, Health and Hygiene are the attention-seeking topics, which are directly linked to the availability of clean water, Sanitation facility and Quality homes and this has directly affected the lives of women and kids living in Rural and Semi-urban locations. Government organizations and NGOs have been dedicatedly working towards the goal of providing these facilities, but due to the lack of availability of funds with most of the people and poor understanding of how a lack of these basic needs can cause a risk to their life; this remains a dream for them.


Considering these alarming issues, the leadership team at Bargach Finance pondered towards providing these basic needs and facilities. However, having a commercial sense was important to remain focused and for creating a long-term venture. Foreseeing a high demand/ opportunity, they started gathering expertise to build a sustainable business model. What ignited the final step towards the formation of their venture was the market opportunity in the sector since there is limited number of organizations, which have similar product ranges as theirs. With their remarkable ideas, services and solutions-oriented approach, they have helped in improving the living standards of society and overcoming the hygiene problems in the interior parts of our country.

SYNCHRONIZING WITH THE LATEST NEEDS

The essential need for a company is to adapt to the latest changes towards catering to the indispensable requirements of the clientele. The best way to adapt to a dynamic market is to improve skills along with the capability to overcome situations without violating any operational guidelines. For the adaptation of the market trends, they have to connect with the customer since this is just not about extending loans but also understanding their needs and educating them about the solution and benefit of using the same. Taking a look at the above-mentioned statement, they decided to recruit team members experienced in serving people in rural and semi-urban locations. Since they operate in the rural parts of India, the need that was inferred from the clients is an improvement in their living standards and solving problems related to hygiene, which mainly occurs due to lack of proper drinking water and sanitation needs that are addressed by their loan products. Rahul Johri, Chairman of Bargach Finance says,

“We are into educating the women of rural society about health and sanitation before they become our customers and also on how to address this problem through our loan products “

AN EDGE OVER THE PEERS

It’s vital to be competent in today’s era by being unique in the entrepreneurial space. They do not have peers in the same field of business as other lenders do not have these products in their product basket. Also, there is a huge gap in demand and supply, which is unnoticed by peers. In their field of operations, they have other organizations giving out loans for income generations, home loans, car loans, etc. With their distinctive motive and concern, they stand out to be a unique organization that mass-market people can look up to for their very basic needs. Through in-depth research and market penetration, they have gained an edge over their peers. Their loan products are the key and the daily/ routine interaction with their clients has helped their vision to build a sustainable business. A dynamic set of field operatives can be approached by the customers whenever there is a query and they are always happy to provide clarity on the product offering.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND MILESTONES

The incredible and noble objective of the organization along with sincere efforts has resulted in visible achievements and accolades. Some of the major milestones for the company has been partnering with two renowned financial institutions to start operation. They have been successful in servicing more than 250 satisfied customers in 3 months. The Company has placed extra focus, even in the present uncertain times, on staying in touch with stakeholders such as clients, employees and lenders. 33

Prasanta Kumar Sahu (Director) says, “The greatest of all achievements is to know people from the isolated places of our country and know their problems, understand them as their very own and help them build their dream with our financial boost. The satisfaction that comes around knowing that we could be the reason for so many smiles is exquisite. We have been able to nourish so many lives whom we could not have helped as individuals but through this idea/initiative, it has become possible.”

FOR THE FUTURE

At Bargach Finance, they envision a multitude of expansion plans covering new geographies and product lines. Like all growing organizations, they also have defined business plans with 3-year objectives. They do want to spread across the nation with their motive of helping the ones in dire need of their support to uphold a healthy and hygienic lifestyle.

RAHUL JOHRI SUMS UP BY SAYING “We have just begun with our operations and are already getting encouraging response from our team as well as customers who have been motivating us to look at a larger picture for the organization’s future. However, such a large expansion is going to take 3-5 years since we are learning day-by-day by gathering experiences. We plan to touch half a million households through our ideas by 2024’’

Predicting the Performance of your Content before publishing Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect

For increasing the value of your brand, Content Marketing has a pivotal role to play. Synchronizing with the latest technology and understanding the dynamics of the market, a plethora of content marketers design creative content for getting the paramount attention of the audience to increase the market value of your products and services. The content marketing lifecycle comprises five stages which are conducting research, building a content strategy, creating content with editing, publishing across platforms and finally measuring content performance. There is a multitude of tools available that give the content performance post publishing, and the most over-emphasized of all is Google Analytics. GA gives a quantitative summary of how the content has performed. However, it does not tell why the content performed badly if it did so, even after spending so much on Google ads and SEOs. This can be quite disheartening for content marketers globally, spending millions of dollars on marketing their products. So, we at Instoried thought, what if there were a way to predict content performance even before publishing it. As we know that people make decisions based on how they feel and not based on what they should do. If a content marketer could gauge the emotional composition of his content while writing it and also dynamically get smart recommendations on what words they should use to improve this emotional composition, then this would be of great help to a content marketer. At Instoried, they have designed a pioneering tool to help content marketers to predict and improve the emotional intelligence of their content to emotionally target their consumers. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

tough time. Lack of funds is the biggest roadblock as they were bootstrapped. Sharmin broke her PPF and put all her savings into the Company to ensure that they could sail through it. Secondly, hiring a great team was a bit difficult and thirdly, raising funds. However, sheer hard work and discipline helped them to raise investment and also hire a stellar team.

notion, she says, “After completing my engineering degree, I worked in the analytics/consulting space for 4 years across verticals: Technology, Pharmaceuticals, BFSI, and Retail. After working for almost 16 hours a day, even on weekends, I realized that I was just helping the rich get richer and not adding any value to my own life. So I decided to quit. I was always very enthused by art and literature. So, I joined a theatre company and traveled to 19 states in India doing theatre. Post that I started my own theatre company and ran that for 3.5 years. I exited from the theatre in 2017 December. In the meantime, I was also working very closely with CXOs globally, helping them build their content strategy. I always knew about the importance of content and the problems content marketers face globally. Hence, I decided to start Instoried to help content marketers create great content.”

HOW CAN YOU OVERCOME YOUR STRUGGLES?

Facing your struggles can help you discover more about yourself and open the gateway of several opportunities that can shape your entrepreneurial excursion. Sharmin Ali says, “Learn to save money as much as possible as a founder of a startup. The biggest risk any founder takes is to start a venture. Post this, a founder needs to take calculated risks and difficult decisions to ensure the company stays afloat and can face all challenges. Having said this, I feel, a founder (especially the CEO) should always know that no money is ever enough and that they need to continuously keep raising.”

BEATING THE COMPETITION

It is indispensable to be unique and different from others in the world of business so that you can empower the market and deliver the best.

MESSAGE FROM THE ENTREPRENEUR

Technology is not the central differentiator that gives you an edge over other players in the industry. At Instoried Research Labs, they deal with the marketing sector and work with content marketers. Marketing is that sector within a company that is pivotal as it’s imperative to promote products to consumers. With significant marketing budgets, large companies always need to strike a great rapport with their consumers, hence making it a very lucrative industry for them as great content directly impacts ROI.

The CEO has an essential message to provide to the readers in these crucial times of pandemic.

SHARMIN SAYS, “During this COVID-19 crisis, the first message that I want to give to other startups is to cut down costs, save money and not think much about valuation at this point. If you are in dire need of cash, raise some quickly and prepare for the worst. Secondly, your team is always your asset, so do not just let them dangling in mid-air during this crisis, be there and support them. Even if you have to cut salaries, ensure that you are the strength to your team at this difficult hour.”

STORY OF STRUGGLE

He acknowledges the fact that this industry has no margin for errors and any lapse in the quality of service would defect the basic idea on which the app was conceptualised. “Our peers are focused on making doctors, pharmacies and other healthcare professionals compete with each other for their businesses.

This ideology possessed by the key officials of the company is appreciable and people who may have benefitted from this approach would be grateful for their thoughtful insights.

Through R&D, Medify aims to configurate their software so as to include all the desirable features required to ensure the optimal standards of healthcare services. THE FUTURE PROSPECTS Mr. Shah states that Medify intends to offer a platform that would become the go-to destination for any individual or community in the healthcare industry, ranging from high-ranking medical professionals to average nuclear families. Medify also intends to be the one-click solution to all the healthcare needs of the general population and bridge the communication gap between all protagonists of the industry, by being an efficient collaborator.

DODGING THE OBSTACLES Mr. Shah confronted the biggest challenge: the validation of his Innovative Idea and the Vision he proposed, due to his young age. Most of the people around him were skeptical about the project he wanted to pursue as his career goal. Many were doubtful about whether a student at such a young age should be handed the responsibility of executing a project of such great magnitude and proportion. At various stages, he was tested for his knowledge of different technologies and frameworks. But he was determined to uplift the standards of healthcare in our country. He single-handedly pursued the same and nothing could deter him. Mr. Shah states, “My father is my role model and also a crucial part of our team. He supported my decision by funding the entire bootstrapping phase that kickstarted the whole startup. My mother was always there for me to provide emotional support, which motivated me through the difficulties I encountered. My Uncle, Dr. V.T. Shah, is one of the highly regarded cardiologists in the city, who provided us with a doctor’s insight and enhanced our perception of the field.” MESSAGE TO THE ENTREPRENEURS Mr. Shah would like to convey to the millennial entrepreneurs, that one should not be intimidated by the failure rates, burn ratio figures and other challenges one may 41

THE 20 MOST PROMISING

STARTUPS IN INDIA 2020

ZEVA ASTRAS

MANAGING YOUR WEALTH WITH INNOVATION Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect

The world runs on money. Its importance makes it pretty obvious that wealth management forms the backbone of the financial sector by ensuring the smooth functioning of the economies at all levels around the globe. It has emerged as the new buzzword in the Financial Services sector. Wealth Management is a consultative process, that combines financial planning and specialized services like, legal and tax advice, investment management services, personal retail banking, estate planning, etc.

Basavaraj Puttappa (CEO)

Providing these services through technological innovations, Zeva Astras has emerged as a uniquely efficient tech-based wealth management start-up, under the CEO ship of Mr. Basavaraj Puttappa. AN OVERVIEW Catering to the needs of HNIs (High Net-worth Individuals)and family offices, Zeva Astras aims at the integration of technology with the wealth management sector. This innovative approach ensures accuracy and therefore, substantially decreases the risk involved in investments. Their services include• Portfolio Advisory Services • Deep Mind Learning • Asset Plus • Hedgeloop • Eigen • Ficus Funds While Deep Mind Learning helps create the best feasible strategy for investment through Artificial Intelligence (AI), Hedgeloop is the technology partner that provides services to decrease the investment-related risks. Asset Plus handles the mutual funds, while Eigen and Ficus Funds help create short term derivative-based investment growth strategies and make long-term investments in balanced portfolios, respectively. THE GENESIS In order to counter the challenges prevalent in this sector, Mr. Puttappa came up with the idea of Zeva Astras. His vision could pin-point that the traditional and manual approaches to the procedures were prone to errors, labor-intensive and time taking. The negative impact of all these was affecting the earning potentials of the investors and made it difficult to concoct the best strategies due to inevitable human biases. Swimming against the conventional market currents was indeed very tough. Having 15 years of experience in the field, Mr. Puttappa believed that HNIs got a lesser range of options in terms of tech-based products like Deep Machine Learning, etc. in India. Portfolio Management Services (PMS) were also limited to the traditional approaches in the contra-fund category. What Indian markets offered was far from what most clients need. He credits the company’s success to the clients who supported the vision continuously and believes that a cordial behavior, integrity and owning up the responsibility towards the clients are the key to success in this survival of the fittest competition. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA

Ficus Funds: For those who wish to invest in portfolio of promising high growth companies WHY ZEVA ASTRAS? Despite being comparatively new to the sector, Zeva Astras has proved its edge over the others by winning the Times Business Award 2020 for Excellence in Wealth Management. It has been constantly in compliance with the ever-changing market needs. Stemming away from the discrepancies of traditional manual practices, it has decoded the market movement with the help of analytically accurate technology. The Unique Selling Proposition (USP) of the company is solely based upon the usage of technology like AI, that updates the readings every single second and formulates a strong empirical data free of human biases. Furthermore, a decision window is used which can be utilized by the investors according to their convenience. While its peers are still largely dependent upon human interventions, Zeva Astras is well beyond the race. Ideologically, its USP is keeping the investors’ interests at the top-most priority. The transparency and output numbers that the company has managed to evolve since its inception, has gained it an undaunted faith from the clients. Self-updating and evolving technology adopted by Zeva Astras has set a benchmark for others. A dedicated team of economists and professionals propel the process of Research and Development by keeping an eye on the statistical tools being fed to the AI and ensure its adaptability to the market changes. CEO’S VIEW ON DOWNTRENDING GLOBAL MARKETS As a Private Wealth Management Service providing company, Zeva Astras takes it as an obligation to analyze the impact of the pandemic Corona Virus upon the down-trends observed in the global markets. Whether or not it is playing a sole role in the current scenario is opined upon by the CEO, Mr. Basavaraj Puttappa, through detailed analysis in his report. Observing the market trends of the last few weeks, many economists concluded that Corona Virus is the solely responsible factor behind the declining market trends. But, according to Mr. Puttappa, the most powerful world economies were seen exhibiting a gradual declining GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in the past 3 years, instead of a sudden and sharp dip. As a result, the Central Banks tried to push money into the system to revive it, and the QE (Quantitative Easing) became 47

high. The stock markets also reached a constant high. A check on the flow was only maintained to keep the inflationary pressures at bay as much as possible. The influx of money increased the government debts substantially and even outgrew the GDP in some cases. This situation got intensified in the wake of the Corona outbreak across the globe and induced fall in the markets, rate cuts, fiscal stimulus, and QE. Specialists concluded that pandemics like SARS and Corona Virus have a short term effect on the markets. Backing his opinion by presenting various facts, figures, and statistics, Mr. Puttappa opines that genesis of the slowdown is based upon the policies of the Central Banks, the Corona outbreak just amplified it. He believes that this is a thriving opportunity for investors if they rely on empirically developed strategies that can protect them from the risks involved and help in optimal investments. FUTURE VISION OF ZEVA ASTRAS Wealth Management sector is at a very nascent stage in India. It is now taking baby steps towards one-size-fits-all to more tailor-made services. This is backed by the technology and Zeva Astras has a vision full of tremendous potential as it intends to be the flag bearer of revolution in this sector across India by thrusting a technologybased approach, providing customizations and reducing manual dependence. It has successfully placed itself in a luscious field of growth which has a fantastic probability of growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 27%. A MESSAGE FOR OUR READERS The CEO, Mr. Puttappa tells that it is very essential to maintain the quality of work rather than the quantity. As compared to his initial days, he now only takes up challenging projects instead of a lot many in number. Quoting Derek Sivers (Founder of CD Baby), he says, “Its either hell yes, or flat No!” Constructively accepting failures and constantly making room for betterment is what he has learned from his experiences and suggests the same to the blossoming entrepreneurs. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue - 10 May 2020 INDIA
