www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition July 2020 INDIA

SHIKHA KEDIA | Chief Executive Officer Over the past few years, the company has worked with some of the biggest brands in Malaysia, namely Aesthetic Academy Asia, PohKong, MajuHome, ICCA Congress among many others, as well as numerous SMEs and local business owners who are struggling with the change in the digital scenario and are willing to take the plunge into the online world. “We believe that when millions of people have shifted online for all their needs, the respective businesses need to be online as well and not just to cater to the people but to remain relevant in these changing times as well. For us, digital marketing is the bridge that connects consumers to businesses online and that is what we at BitQuest work towards- Connecting more and more people to your business to help you reach your true potential online!” Says the CEO. The sudden birth of the largest remote working experiment in the history of humanity has changed work culture in unimaginable ways. For all fear and uncertainty 22

about the days to come, there is one thing that is crystal clear. The future is going to be digital. The world will rely heavily on technology.

“We were looking for opportunities and realized the importance of online shopping

during this time and how it was “MORE THAN EVER”. Whether it be a restaurant, fashion, or even just consultation. Everything has gone online during this time. To talk in numbers around 25% of food and beverage businesses moved online for the first time. The fashion industry saw a 14% increase in online conversion for business owners. The e-commerce industry was one of the biggest players during the whole of MCO. Harping on this we promoted eCommerce to all our existing clients and even pitched for new ones. To tell you the truth we did set up more eCommerce during lockdown than ever.

“

WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MS. SHIKHA KEDIA, CEO OF BITQUEST TO BRING YOU SOME EXCLUSIVE INSIGHTS. Q: EXPRESS YOUR SIDE OF THE DILEMMA, WHEN YOU GOT TO KNOW ABOUT THE 21- DAY PROLONGED NATION-WIDE LOCKDOWN. HOW DID YOU ENSURE THE SERENITY FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL, WHEN YOU CAME ACROSS THE NEWS? A: As a leader, I am not only responsible for constant innovation and growth of the company but also act as a motivator for the team, bringing everything together. I have always believed that your people perform best when they are happy and satisfied. We operate at two offices- one in Malaysia and the other in India. When the news of the initial 21 days lockdown came, the first dilemma I had was, how to assure safety for all. Communication wasn’t an issue for me because I am anyway mostly operating from our Kuala Lumpur office and see the team in India maybe once in 2-3 months. Thanks to technology, we are constantly in touch with each other and the team knows that I am just a phone call away. We do our regular video calls for any team meetings and on the lighter side, have a casual conversation to maintain higher spirits. Q: AMIDST THE CHALLENGING SITUATION LIKE THIS, HOW DID YOU ENSURE TO ATTRACT THE CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS? A: There were a few initiatives that we adopted to help our clients as much as we could. Firstly, we devised special customized plans for each of our retained clients where they could make the most from our marketing activities with minimum spending. We even gave credit time to some of our clients to pay at ease. One of our clients was also given the liberty to use our services like that of a retailer- allowing them to pay-per-use. We were also looking for means to create more opportunities for our business, hence we focused more on eCommerce pitching than our other popular products. Q: HOW DID YOU ENSURE CSR DURING THESE HARD TIMES? HAVE YOU HELPED YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY OR YOUR CUSTOMERS/CLIENTS BY OFFERING THEM SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR USUAL OFFERINGS AND SERVICES? 23

A: During this lockdown, many daily wagers have to sell their household items to buy food. There’s fear. There’s uncertainty. Many lives have gone forever. To back the disadvantaged sections of the society, we supported a local NGO in Kolkata who prepares lunch for the nearby slum every day during the lockdown. Q: HOW DID YOU MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR STAFF AND EMPLOYEES MOTIVATED DURING THIS TIME? A: I always make sure to visit Kolkata once every 2 months to meet all of them, mostly just to talk to the whole team. After I missed going to Kolkata on 13th March due to flight cancellation, I have tried to get on weekly video calls with everyone. We pull each other’s legs, motivate each other, share recipes and pictures what we cooked during the week. This helps us keep the spirits high. Q: WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONVEY TO OUR READERS? A: Firstly, I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank the millions of healthcare professionals around the globe who manage the front lines every day. The impact of COVID-19 is prompting organizations to look more closely at the mental health of their employees. They deserve our empathy, compassion, and kindness. From the business perspective, I would like to say that when such a pandemic occurs it wipes away a few businesses and paves way for new ones. It’s your strategies and hard work that will define where your organization will stand. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition July 2020 INDIA

SCULPTING NEXT-GEN VIDEOHEALTH SERVICES Sugandh Bahl | Business Connect With the commencement of 2020, the world has been attacked by the outbreak of a novel coronavirus. Being a communicable disease, it has caused a surge for innovative telemedicine technologies. Over the past six months, use of telemedicine, telehealth, and virtual healthcare have greatly expanded and promise to help move the healthcare industry into the digital realm. With the aid of camera-equipped smart devices, the Internet and artificial intelligence, people who do not want to risk contracting the virus by going to healthcare facilities can now easily have video face-to-face meetings with medical professionals and caregivers. Telemedicine has been essential in helping lower the infectious curve of the ongoing pandemic crisis. It has helped doctors coordinate with patients in every step from diagnosing to prescribing medicine. In the same vein, Real Time Tech’s digital technology platform will be developed to proffer exemplary services like decentralized clinical vaccine trials using wireless remote-controlled dispensers. And, video-connected, remotely controlled anywhere-based treatment and therapy devices. Led by “California’s Most Influential Leader in Healthcare Technology 2020”, RTT is aiming to integrate people with virtual healthcare services and collaborate with partners in addressing the needs of people in this pandemic. A REVOLUTIONARY FIRM Real Time Touch is a tech-innovative platform that focuses on virtual care visits through remote-controlled anywhere-based treatment and medication control devices. The application enables video chatting between doctors, nurses, and patients through all kinds of smart devices for diagnosis, tests, prescriptions, treatments, and medical consultations around the world. People in rural areas have a hard time getting access to traditional healthcare services. Through its platform, RTT hopes to ensure they can get virtual access to quality healthcare at affordable prices. Their user-friendly platform will help people, including elderly people, peoplewith mobility challenges, and people with transportation issues to virtually interact with medical practitioners for real-time medicine release, treatments, and therapies. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition July 2020 INDIA

RTT has an internationally pending patent for a wide array of devices for remotely guiding devices for therapies, treatments, and even exercise machines to be used at home, work, or as a wearable component. With the FDA’s approval, RTT is looking forward to integrating these instruments with existing virtual care providers, hospitals, and clinics. RTT strives to bring change in the sphere of telemedicine and virtual healthcare through its tele-treatment platform. Its technology surpasses the other telemedicine platforms by going the extra mile, ensuring strong and stable connection to patients for remote monitoring, programming, and controlling of wearable, mobile, and home medical devices. Their technology will also be used by veterinarians and pet lovers, to remotely release medications and treatments to animals and pets. CRAFTED BY A GENIUS INNOVATOR In 1997, Craig Linden, Founder of RTT, started experimenting with remote medical treatment. Craig aimed to integrate the RTT platform with telemedicine services to provide physically augmented virtual health care to people in need. With this vision, he inaugurated Real Time Touch in 1999. Craig is a graduate of San Diego State University with a specialization in business marketing and management. He has also garnered many years of experience by working in a variety of fields.

Notable examples of their tech-innovations are their planned Remote-Controlled Medication Dispenser (RC Rx Dispensers), coming with a variety of qualities including medication release, video conferencing, vitals, and electronic health records. TAKING VIRTUAL HEALTHCARE TO THE NEXT LEVEL “Today, millions of people don’t have access to proper healthcare, but many of them have a smartphone, laptop, or tablet,”explains Linden. Digital technology has become an integral part of our life. RTT is looking forward to establishing associations that will aid in inspiring the global healthcare industry by providing digitally controlled treatments, pain-relief devices, and medication release vaults. These devices will be equipped with sensors to monitor a patient’s vital signs. These wireless remote-controlled devices can be delivered to the patients by delivery companies, or even by drones. RTT’s plannedremote release medication vaults are aimed at enabling pharmaceutical organizations to de39

centralize clinical trials by moving part of the clinic into the home, workplace, or field. This will consequently lead tomore reliable, efficient, and cost-effective clinical drug trials. EFFICACIOUS AMID THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK Amid the illness and death caused by Covid-19, telemedicine is proving to be a suitable methodology for providing quality healthcare. Since visiting the healthcare center can add risks for both doctors and patients, telehealth visitsand virtual diagnosishave proved to lower the transmission of disease.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

Steps to Build a Great

MANAGEMENT TEAM A GUIDE FOR

STARTUPS Regardless of how solid your thought is, the destiny of your startup eventually lays in your group having the option to function admirably to execute it, Here are steps to utilize when assembling your startup’s fantasy group: Recognize positions. The most significant colleagues the organizers. Before employing any other individual, you and your prime supporter should choose how choices will be made at the startup. For instance, would you say you are the specialized master and the other individual a wiz with showcasing? Assuming this is the case, that ought to educate the structure regarding your startup. I suggest carefully recording everything and having both prime supporters sign the report. At that point there will be no misguided judgments about what’s expected of whom. distinguish the positions expected to finish the group, (for example, deals and showcasing, programming, and record the board posts or undertaking pioneers). Make certain to organize (make sense of which position to fill first) in addition to adjust the employing. It doesn’t bode well to employ five task chiefs and not a solitary developer. Make certain to have enough cash or clients to pay for staff members before you begin employing them. Figure out how to be influential Real appeal and normal amiability will get you far in business, and on the off chance that you have both–good for you. For all of us, we need to become familiar with the craft of influence admirably well. As a business person, you basically invest your energy persuading others that your way is the correct way. Regardless of whether you are interfacing with financial specialists, associates, representatives, or customers, you should have the option to get them ready. When you accomplish that, they are convinced. With regards to workers, this isn’t just about guiding individuals. On the off chance that you basically hand out requests, your staff may concur with you since you’re the chief, in any case, there is no assurance that their hearts are in it or that they will finish the errand as well as could be expected.

Let individuals develop into their jobs at your organization. You know the work that should be finished. Having a typical pool of work things will permit your group to get what they are normally accepted at and have the energy for. They comprehend what they like. Somebody in your group will have a tendency toward financials.

Try not to Recruit Titles I see new businesses getting fire constantly about their inventive titles. “VP of Globalized Corporate Understanding” or “Boss Robot Whisperer” are cool sounding titles, indeed, however, they are only that — titles. When in the underlying insane period of your startup, the exact opposite thing you need to do is construct specialty storehouses for your workers. You have to go into the startup stage realizing without a doubt that each individual will have their hand in all things.

Get your workers included It’s imperative to rapidly get your workers associated with the everyday running of your business. Keep them dynamic and utilize their qualities to assist them with coordinating and create.

Give Constant Feedback In the beginning stages of your startup when everybody is doing a smidgen of everything, it is imperative to start giving routine input. You are on the whole building up the organization culture together, and in the event that somebody is veering off-kilter, it is basic to get them early and get realigned. You will keep unfortunate propensities from shaping on the off chance that you do it early and regularly. Think about your group at this phase as an “agreement group.” An accord group is a gathering of people who all have an equivalent impact over significant choices. All

• Inspect all the alternatives Paintballing? Go-karting? Building log spans over waterways? Ask your workers which alternatives they may like, yet be set up for a wide range of answers. • Remember the basic things Something as relaxed as giving beverages and snacks to the most recent hour of a Friday evening may function admirably. Not every person needs to creep through the undergrowth in disguise dress. Accomplish the Work With your group gathered and the correct outlook set up, it’s the ideal opportunity for take-off. Start a group of similar people who all offer a similar dream. Don’t storehouse yourself. Keep the group engaged with all zones. You needn’t bother with authorities yet. Anticipate that everybody should be a generalist toward the start. They don’t need to 43

individuals are equivalent and choices ought to be made with an upper dominant part, if not consistent, vote. Settle on sure everybody knows why a choice was made.

Consider group building works out Private ventures are frequently relentless conditions. That implies you have to get your group cooperating rapidly.
