The Leader Behind an admirable Company by Business Connect

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

A visionary Leader drives the system and process John C. Maxwell said, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” The quote holds great value and applicable in every phase of our lives. Without a leader, the tribe is directionless and aimless, and it’s quite true that there will be no organization or systematic proceedings without an ace leader. Be at home or workplace, we have always seen a person taking charge of numerous responsibilities who effeciently and pro actively accomplish them. In this month, Business Connect has put time, space and energy to release the most awaited edition of times that is ‘The Leader behind an Admirable company’. From the name, it is self explanatory that this edition focusses on some visionary and breath taking leaders, who with the flair leadership quality have conquered the space, yeah-the entreprenuial space! We are elated to feature Globus Logisys Pvt. Ltd. on our coverpage, which falls into the category of the most admirable company. The limelight is on the empowering people who with their incredible leadership talent drive vast organizations. My experience whilst carving their stories was enthralling and captivating. As a Managing Editor of the magazine, I have locked some inspiring lessons in my heart’s cauldron on the traits of leardership. There are numerous abstract qualities which incite me to walk through them. The most engaging quality that I truly appreciate is that ‘Leaders create more leaders instead of followers.’ They incredibly push their workforce to feel more independent and decisive. In this way, employees feel at home and start focusing their enegies towards the goodwill of the organization. It is splendid! There is no any kind of dominance in the system. Each and every employee is trusted and respected. May be this the reason behind building the colossal empires. The entrepreneurs encourage and reflect so much positivity around. The vision they behold in their eyes is so big, which pushes them day and night to work strenuously towards it. This creates a ripple effect and magnetizes their team also to walk on the footsteps. Time management, patience, quick decisions, perseverance serve the base of their incredible personas. They are influencers and motivators! Their actions are always line up to accilmilate the needs of the customers through their companies’ proceedings. Customers come first for all the admirable companies and their leaders understand it pretty well. All the biggies meticuosly participate in the Research and Development process that’s the reason for their epic success. Creating synergy with the advancement in technology, they serve their clientele best, thereby enlarging the compay’s dimensions. As leaders, they always make sure to motivate the tribe on a weekly or monthly basis. This enhances the morale of the team.

TOWARDS ENERGIZING THE TECHNOLOGY MOVEMENT

Rashi Saral | Business Connect

INDIA IS SEEING RAPID ADOPTION OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, BE IT MOBILITY OR CLOUD OR SOCIAL MEDIA. Now Big Data, Blockchain, AI and IoT have found their true place in the commercialization cycle and provide a heady competitive advantage to the early adapters. Racenext Information Solutions Pvt Ltd., founded in Nov, 2015 by Mr. Arvind Prabhu, a passionate engineer and business process expert, has been at the forefront of bringing these emerging technologies to corporates. Among them, was being a strategic contributor for a state of the art 3D printing zone for a large private sector in India. Subsequently they also â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;digitizedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thousands of process equipment drawings to build a 3D model online that could be used for training, maintenance and risk assessment. While Blockchain was being examined closely by the BFSI sector, Racenext had already initiated their programs to evangelize the economic impact of this disruptive technology in other sectors including Agriculture, Health, Intellectual Property, Land, Logistics, and Jewellery and so on. Several students have also completed technical internship projects on Robotics and Data Analytics at Racenext, located at a small office in Mumbai. Racenext has also done several projects and training programs on Info Security, IT transformation, Testing etc. and boasts of a 5X YoY growth since inception.

COVER STORY

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

Arvind Prabhu Founder

THE PRESENT TECHNOLOGY ECOSYSTEM NEEDS A MAKE OVER

Over the last few months, the team at Racenext focussed on building a web platform to ease the exchanges between technology suppliers’ and consumers’ needs. On one hand, the buying centres and decision makers were faced with dilemma while engaging new technology suppliers. In addition to the mammoth task of aligning budget approvals, getting stakeholders buy-in, vendor empanelment process within their organization, the CIOs and CTOs were faced with doubts about the competence and delivery capabilities of the suppliers. They were genuinely worried about the adverse impact on their personal credibility and the possible loss of time and money in ‘experimenting’ with a new vendor; and almost always resulting into awarding technology projects to the existing suppliers ‘known devil’. In many cases, they would discover that the technology suppliers did not have adequate company compliance for their procurement and accounts departments to smoothly release payment. That resulted in lot of the CXOs time getting spent on procurement and payment cycles instead of focussing on their main work.

We have put in all that it takes to design and develop a holistic ecommerce platform to enrich data exchanges between Consumer and Supplier for technology services, while providing an attractive business proposition to our associate partners. Going ahead, how we spread the word, and maintain the right momentum will determine how Olovy blooms. Implementation is the key to success. And yes, we are ready for healthy competition. Arvind Prabhu (Founder, Partner)

On the other hand, the supplier’s concerns of business uncertainities, poor negotiation, dewww.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

layed deliveries, resource attrition, tax violations, payment collections etc. did not allow them to take a risk of engaging with a new ‘customer’. It is a fact that several technology projects get delayed or fail even after decades of IT waves. Most of the technology suppliercompanies operate at a ‘Commodity’ level and focus on acquire contract and raise invoice processes, rather than getting into the problems faced by consumer and rising to an enabler or influencer level. Even fewer possess the required business planning skills or structured processes to ensure consistent deliveries or even rudimentary capabilities to study and apply competitive strategies or disruptive innovation.

Some of their flagship programs include educating service providers, especially technology start-ups, to appreciate and adopt the techno-business skills of Business Planning, Bids/Proposals management, Managing Operational Risks, Focussing on Business Benefit Realization. In short, Olovy offers whatever is needed to build assurance and reduce risks in the entire Consumer-Supplier relations and interactions. Once the user registers, true to their tag-line ONUS IS ON US™, Olovy deploys their entire network and professional experience to assist the technology service provider as well as the Consumer. Just like any new online service, Olovy has unenviable challenge of influencing change in consumer behaviour. But the early adopters will soon discover the many benefits an online platform offers. Olovy needs to keep their ears on the ground and listen to the voice of customer while marching forward in their product roadmap journey.

Freelancers, especially in the circuit design, software programming, website or mobile apps space have contributed in their own way to the tempest in the teapot with mostly none of them knowing or adhering to any industry standard. We can meet lots of such people who believe they can deliver an ‘IT project’ to a company in the time they get between their change of jobs. And it is very unlikely that they have heard of or care for terms like ITR, TDS or GST. Racenext realized that there is need toinfuse more positivity and energize the entire technology ecosystem. And what better time than now.

OLOVY: Onus Is On Us ™

Easy to pronounce, short to remember, Olovy, a non-English word, will soon become synonymous with ‘the effort to enhance with success’ anything that is touched. Tech and Olovy together will deliver Technology. Olovy is the world’s first online B2B platform, conceived, designed and built in Indiafor technology consumers to engage with curated and reliable, technology providers. One one hand it provides choice, convenience and competitive edge to consumers and on the other hand Olovy works to improve the capability, calibre and credibility of technology services providers.

OLOVY: The E-Commerce Destination

Olovy strongly believes that the days of coercive selling are numbered, if not over. The modern day customer requires a business partner. The platform today allows technology suppliers to present their best capabilities in a professional and non-SPAM manner. No more irksome marketing calls, no persistent emails or SMS. Olovy believes that the project award comes through when the customer is ready and not by any follow up. As we have all experienced in the online purchase for products, any customer expects abundant choices now and by the natural process of elimination of these choices, is bound to compare and take an informed decision.

Today, Olovy charges a nominal membership enrolment fee from technology service providers. After that, the service providers need not provide any commission or brokerage business generated through this additional medium of advertisement. So is Olovy just another market place, one may ask. Yes and No!

This is my first time under the bonnet and I am simply thrilled to discover how great systems actually build their information repository and apply intelligence based on context.

Olovy understands that the Consumers seek Excellence, Responsiveness, Flexibility, Transparency, and Reliability when they engage a service provider. Are the service providers geared to deliver the WOW!?

Sahil Jayakar, Partner

In addition to the website features available on membership, Olovy services include other value added services like strategic consulting, technology events, surveys, building competitive strategies among other initiatives.

In addition to multiple levels of functional and system administration, Olovy offers several interactive features for non-registered visitors and registered Members to enrich the quality of exchanges. 13

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

Users may register themselves as Service Providers, Consumers, Partners, Students, Bloggers or Trainers. Each role offers several features that will help them interact with the other members in a transparent and professional manner. Olovy offers the CLASSIC, SILVER, GOLD and PLATINUM paid membership to Service Providers. For other user roles it is free for registration. For all users, there are basic KYC checks in place that builds reliability of transactions with new entities. Users can login with their registered email IDs or with their mobile numbers and an OTP. Olovy classifies the hosted technical content under several but simple categories like 3D printing, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Big Data, CAD/CAM, Digitization, ERP, FinTech, Geo, Health, Info Security, IoT, ML and so on. Consumers can search for technologies and the search results will fetch Services, Companies, Training programs, People, Blogs, and News related to the requested keyword. For every Service listed, the details page will show the Companies that provide that service. In the Company details page, where the consumer can study their performance, history, offices and profiles of the founders and leaders, there is also a direct link to visit the supplier’s website. When a Consumer does not find something, they have a facility to Post a Requirement for projects, manpower etc. and Olovy support will work towards enrolling more technology providers to fulfil that requirement. Service Providers can see how many views their pages and advertisements have received and accordingly decide how they want to increase their presence on the website. They can also browsethrough public tenders, RFPs and also pre-screened and curated professional resumes. Olovy also hosts new books and global news related to relevant technology categories. Outside the website, the technologists can seek to connect with consumers or engage Olovy to build their techno-business skills or maybe even learn how to identify ‘lemon contracts’ and not waste productive opportunities. Olovy’s Business Development Partner role incentivizes people who are passionate about Technology, to associate with minimum enwww.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

try barrier or risk. The transparent and generous revenue sharing model is among the best in the industry. Individual entrepreneurs who were otherwise facing the challenges of obtaining, delivering and monetizing the projects alone can collaborate and get entitlements and incentives that would not be possible without joining the network. Partners are chosen with utmost care and each partner has to sign a Code of Honour that extracts a promise to do all that it takes to fulfil technology requirements, help build competence and provide productive opportunities in the field of technology, in a compliant, dignified, honest and transparent manner. Olovy also expects to generate employment opportunities for people who like customer-facing jobs, and content management jobs.

We are contracting senior technology professionals in Mumbai, Gujarat, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata to enrol as Business Development Partners, collaborate and build their network of business executives. We sincerely believe Olovy offers tremendous opportunitiesto attract the youth towards technology and mould their career aspirations to earn profits in place of a salary.

Arvind Prabhu (Founder, Partner)

OLOVY: Technology & Data Privacy

Built with the greatest care and adherence to Software Engineering standards, Olovy is a secure transaction platform that has been built by diligently practice of a mix of traditional SDLC and the modern AGILE and DevOps methodologies. As expected, it works on rigorous change management processes across their Development, Test and Production environment. Olovy has built system capabilities that are essential to handle large volumes of information and providing seamless performance for many concurrent users. At present, they have not released a mobile app version but their website has been built to support all sort of browsers and devices. Also, Olovy has wisely chosen to go cautiously this once and to connect with payment gateways after an annealing time period rather than on the day of launch. That is good news for new adopters as it makes Olovy safer to transact. 14

At Olovy, every individual and contractor has been educated with the evolving policies and controls required while collecting, using and sharing data. Utmost care is taken to secure and protect the information of users at all stages. Olovy also takes all due precaution to ensure that Intellectual Property rights are not violated. Their User Agreement, Terms of Use, Cookies Policy, Privacy Policy and Professional Usage Guidelines are an endorsement of their focus to be ranked among the best e-commerce platforms in the world.

technology service companies, in turn harnessing the growth for our technology suppliers. Olovy invites academia to actively participate in this one of a kind concept that will give them an insight into the engine room of a large e-Commerce platform and to learn how to utilize technology to achieve business objectives. So far, Olovy is self-funded and is gathering momentum to go full throttle in the next few months.

We had to re-configure ourselves to expand our knowledge from data security to data privacy. GDPR and the recent policies promoted in India have been a great source of learning.

OLOVY: The Road Ahead

Being the first is exciting but also comes with its own challenges. Close friend and advisor, Mr. Anthony Foster, Founder of The CIO International, UK jokingly asked Arvind ‘Do you think it stands a snow-ball’s chance in hell?’ Anybody’s guess is a good guess. Olovy believes things get done when people and entities can perform in spite of such fears. Overall, Olovy has been well-received with their several interactions with industry experts. And yes, everyone is watching

Mihir Pandit - Partner

Launching this October, Olovy already has pre-enrolled around 80 service providers under different categories. The website launch will throw open the doors for the free registration for the Consumers and other users. Olovy will promote this platform in industry associations, leaders of corporates among other strategic influencer communities. The marketing plan includes online and offline approaches. Olovy will watch how the initial launch goes, fine-tune the offerings and invite overseas Consumers to get the benefits of mature and professional

To Most of Us Owning A Home Is The Epitome of Success Wouldn’t we do almost anything to protect it from harm? Learn how and what you can do to protect your home Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect

Nemmadi assures homebuyers ‘get what they paid for and pay for what they get’. Nemmadi is a ಕನ್ನಡ (Kannada) word, which aptly describes, what a client looks for while buying a Home - ‘Peace of Mind’.

“Don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait” Nemmadi home inspection service will potentially save the clients ‘lakhs of Rupees’ while spending only ‘a few thousand’. They are a sister-concern of a well-known Construction Project Management Consultancy (CPMC) which has been in existence, for over three decades. Nemmadi, essentially offers two streams of services – For builders & developers [B2B], their offering is more in-depth and complex. Nemmadi has the talent and capability to provide support in terms of Quality at any stage of the lifecycle of building construction. This helps the Project team as there is ease of handing-over due to proactive snag clearance. With the RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) coming into force, a third-party quality inspection is in the interest of the customer since that ensures the quality promised is delivered. The software they use is state of the art as it provides an online Inspection monitoring console for instant reports and analytics, helping in real time de-Snagging. Builders are utilizing their services as Third-party quality certifying bodies for project Quality conformance. They also assist Flat Owners’ associations www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

before they take over common areas and amenities of the project from Builders to ensure problem-free operation in the future.

Revenue is the engine that funds all innovation.

Innovation is powerful, execution is worshipped – Idea Customer Education was the biggest uphill battle. Since this service was unheard at the time they started and many potential clients didn’t even know such a service existed, it took a long time to explain and convince the customers.

Their clients in the B2C segment have grown exponentially and in the B2B segment this year they have over 10 clients. Nemmadi has provided Home Inspection for over 1000 apartment owners. From the experience of having worked in over 1500 construction projects all over India in the past 30 odd years, as part of the CPMC, they understand the nuances and the various aspects of the field. They also know where things can go wrong and where to look for them and they provided Individual Home Inspection services at many projects all over South India –

Its revenue has been growing at over 300% per year.

The field of Civil Engineering is known to be technology averse, they wanted to change this by leveraging technology to improve not only the efficiency of the engineers but also collect copious amounts of data at the same time. This meant going against the tide and developing an app that would perform a factor of magnitude better than the existing tools. This meant developing an app that the bottom of the pyramid, could use on their Android phone with ease and minimal learning.

Subsequent Objectives They are working on improving their app, using Artificial Intelligence [AI] in such a manner that no human intervention is needed to take part in the visual inspection of workmanship. Since they already have a treasure trove of images labeled by humans [engineers at the site, while performing the Quality checks], they need only to build on it but it is their futuristic goal.

While working at the parent company, they came across many end-customers who came to them with requests to comment on the quality of work in the project where they were engaged as CPMC. They did not entertain these requests as this would be a conflict of interest. But when the inquiries came from across India and the numbers steadily increased it dawned on them, then Construction Quality Management was a service interest for them. Now that RERA [Real Estate Regulatory Act] has come into play and their services contribute to the underlying intention behind it, this conjunction with the fact that 100% FDI is allowed in Real Estate, which allowed them to come in and do what is required.

They positively assist Flat Owners’ associations before they take over common areas and amenities of the project from the builders to ensure snag-free operation in the future. The comprehensive inspection is using structured checklists, compiled out of years of experience in all types of projects.

Therefore, decades of professional experience is the backing future objective for Nemmadi. The quality plan is basic and subsequent goal for them, and later Quality assurance and Quality control processes are performed as per already drawn Quality plan to ensure that required quality levels are achieved at every stage of construction. This results in Total Quality Control in the construction process as well as their objective.

The strength of the company – Team Mr. A. N. Prakash is an industry veteran and MD of A. N. Prakash Construction Project Management Consultants. Having been in the industry for over 30 years he knows all the ins and outs, the nuances of how the Civil Engineering in particular construction industry works in each state and most importantly, he knows most if not all the top builders in South India. Uday Simha Prakash joined A. N. Prakash to start Nemmadi so that they could leverage their domain knowledge in Civil Engineering and in Information Technology. Their first two employees were very experienced in the field - Mr. Suresha and Ms. Divya. Having worked in the parent company they had confidence in the idea and after discussing the concept it was an easy sell for them. Today they are a team of 15. 25

The

C’s behind Admirable

Business Connect Team

The real leadership is derived from the roots of sportsmanship. Our sports history is full of stories of underdogs rising to the occasion. Remember how Greece beat heavy favorites Portugal in the UEFA EURO final in 2004? Rewind even further in sports then you’ll recall the ‘Miracle on Ice’ by the U.S. men’s hockey team, in winning gold at the 1980 Winter Olympics. This all undergoes from history, these teams manage to achieve the impossible. However in the arena of the business world, we always think about a common question that suggests, how do certain entrepreneurs build unicorn start-ups from scratch? The answer lies in Good leadership. We will discuss the success by three Cs for leadership with all-star players to let you know about how Leadership led the foundation of the best business. You need a team of versatile talent and great leadership to tie it all together and steer the business team to success.

Connoisseur, a balanced leadership style takes practice on an individual level, but organizations need to learn, too. This means be an expert of all matters related to your business, Practice creates consistency and consistency gets you results to be a better connoisseur. Leadership development is a very essential part of many big and small businesses. But what is the real practice of development? Real practice on leadership development is about to expand a person’s ability to perform as a leader. It is all about teaching a person about leadership and the skills and qualities required to be an effective leader. Therefore, the basic focus is on essential leadership skills and tasks such as the ability to communicate motivate and inspire yourself then others in your organization. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

Confidence is the key basis in which leadership will grow and stand. The real leader should concentrate on the most basic ingredient for their leadership that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Confidenceâ&#x20AC;?. A business leader is someone who is expected to deliver accurate and make decisions very confidently in the organization. Confidence is very important which is driving forces in the business arena. Confidence is the mainspring of leadership. The role of a leader is to be an effective problem solver, more decisive in organizational matters, and better communication is also important in confidence. He/she should know how to coach a team with confidence, mentor and hold their team members accountable, and many other fundamentals of leadership. Hereby, accept all this; a leader must be first believing in them, true leadership will exist only in title. A leader that is technically and officially qualified for their position, but lacks the confidence, will find it always difficult to lead others. Therefore, confidence is a key point in leadership.

Cooperative nature in strategic Leadership is defined as the ability to think and anticipate the future to maintain flexibility and work with others. The cooperative leader for any company always provides the right direction and facilitates changes that will create a viable future for the organization and he is consistent with cooperative principles. Being a cooperative leader for your organization will accomplish two essentials of leadership: It facilitates the direction-setting right goals and then moving toward that direction. To successfully act as Cooperative Leaders, they need a practical and robust approach. Leaders can make the corporate workplace more welcoming by working together with team and management. The cooperation needs a better understanding of both sides and leads to foster cooperation between employees and management. It also reduces the problems that can affect to leave the employees dissatisfied or when they are eager to quit their jobs. Cooperation also denotes the taking turns and helping each other out within the team. The two main key ingredients to get along in this world are sharing and taking turns.

The Creators Of Trust Behind An Admirable Company Rashi Saral | Business Connect

is garage is about a five minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walk from his home. Negotiating the crowded walk while talking on his hands-free with a client, he was thinking of something else. The project has been hanging fire for a long time. Will his team be able to finally deliver? While Animesh was about to get into the car, his partner, 14 years senior to him, was in the pool stroking away his daily routine 30 minutes and thinking about the strategic benefit of a contract they were scheduled to sign in the afternoon. But in another part of their brain, they were worried about the big delivery that was scheduled to close that day. There were finer edges to polish and they just had about five hours to box the product. They had no way of knowing as yet the project lead, a recruit with more than a decade of industry experience would drop out due to illness in the family.

About half an hour before Animesh put the key into his car’s ignition, the team had started trooping into Confiance Mobility LLP. Tucked innocuously in a cozy flat in the middle- class neighborhood of Salt Lake, a stone’s throw away from the Sector V – the IT hub of Kolkata – the office would be home for them till the wee hours of the evening. Animesh Goswami, who insisted that we call him Animesh, is an IIT alumnus and has 25 years of experience in the global IT industry, 14 of which were spent abroad. He junked his IT career in 2014 with the dream of creating a communication firm that would use technology as a tool. Suparna Pathak- a household name in the state and a media veteran, who also teaches strategic management in various institutions here and abroad, and is fondly referred to the business reporting community as the Viswa Pitamah for his ever helping and no malice attitude, junked fame and money in 2017 to join Animesh as his senior partner.

“It was a chance meeting in 2017 that sealed my fate. I had however decided to explore the digital media option as an entrepreneur even before that fateful meeting in the Kolkata Press Club. I liked his brash attitude that matched mine and decided to take the plunge,

the floor seeking time from their bosses busy talking to us. But there was an air of affable scoffing that was quite strangely endearing.

says Suparna That day in their office appeared a disaster. With the lead having bunked then Animesh had to be on the work floor tying knots while Suparna was seen banging away on his Mac. There were shouts that one associates more with a newsroom than a company of this nature. Animesh quipped, “Told you. We are a creative agency!” Not to be left behind Suparna bantered, more like re creative. It’s a circus and we are the jokers in it.”

“We are more about 360 degree brand building and communication refurbishing”. In the words of Animesh, Confiance takes disruptive views about brand creation using various technologies, including the traditional route. The focus of the entire exercise is narration. How you narrate the brand clinches the issue. “How one weaves the sentences, how one drives the creation of logo so that it syncs with the narrative and then comes the tech part that becomes the final and composite messenger of the whole exercise – this process makes it a creative challenge. Most of us in the trade tend to forget that the strength of social media is determined by the strength of your content.”

Meet them and you would think that this partnership is going to break by the time the Sunsets as they are similar to cheese and chalk yet they gel well. If Animesh is the core energy then the portly Suparna is the eye of the storm gently trying to nudge that energy towards the intended direction. The work floor thinks the same. On being asked about their bosses in one sentence, the core of the feeling was, “Animesh sir knows how to get things done, Suparna sir is the guide we look up to.”

When a client comes to them with a problem of reach out, the first thing that Confiance does is understand the stakeholders and audience before carefully auditing the existing tools being used and then draws up a strategy map that may involve redrawing the entire existing reach-out mode, including redrawing the website and recreating the apps should the situation so demands.

As they took a turn in explaining their business, we could feel the tension building up in the workplace with the clock ticking towards the delivery deadline. The animation vertical came with a problem, clearly disapproving of our presence, followed in turn by the content lead and the designer while the developers were cooling their heels on

“We, however, are clear about one thing. We try to steer ourselves clear of poaching,” says Suparna. They find it unethical. They claim that there have been instances of 37

to go out into the floor while we nursed our tea and engaged in small talks. Minutes later, when we were into our last sips of the tea, Animesh came in all smiles. He just looked at his partner and we could all of a sudden realize how tense these two were though the entire talks. We also realized that how even chalk and cheese could collaborate given how they continuously kept silently communicating with each other. What is your USP? We asked. As if on cue they blurted, “Us.” Not mincing their words, they pointed out their strategic advantage. They claimed that their USP lies in their ability to articulate both with narratives and technology. Among similar providers, most were focused on the tech part of it because they found comfort only in that and soft paddled the narration. Some others focused on the narration and couldn’t leverage the technology with equal ease. Confiance was among the very few who were equally nimble with both, given the promoters’ professional experience in the related fields.

sitting down with a client’s existing service providers trying to optimize the efforts of all the vendors to maximize the benefit of the client concerned. “It has direct brand implication for Confiance which in French means trust. We do believe in building trust within the entire consortium.” “We provide our clients with a tailored push when it comes to digital communication,” says Animesh. With their years of experience in the industry, they are quite articulate in every view they offer. Suparna is a known face in the business seminar panels, while Animesh is similarly known for digital media seminars.

Banglanatak Dot Com is a well-known social enterprise working with the grassroots as well as global entities. Confiance has been their preferred choice for a few years now. Ms Ananya Bhattacharya, director, Banglanatak Dot Com endorsed what Animesh and Suparna claimed. In her words, “Confiance is an admirable company - We have been using their services to connect rural communities to the wider world - strengthening access to local culture for global community via website, social media and mobile app.” From the content narration perspective, the animation wing of Confiance also contributes for the projects.

Explaining the ethics of their business, they claim that they abhor leveraging their clients’ credulity. Talking about a big ornament company which sought their consultancy, Animesh recounted, “the owner was happy with the digital push of their brand. I analysed the response only to find most of the hits were from abroad and non-generic.” Animesh believed those responses to have been bought with no commercial implication for the company concerned. “And this is something we don’t do. A company with only brick and mortar showrooms in India cannot have, say an Armenian buyer living in Armenia! If it’s not riding on the credulity of a client, tell me what is?”

It was 7:30 pm when we left with both the partners. The floor was still abuzz with the clanking on keyboards while on the monitors we could see codes being developed, designs being drawn and texts being written. We were informed that while talking to us Suparna was finishing a 1500 word narrative!

How good are they? Mr Manohar Malani is known for his sharp mind among those who know him in the industry, and is working on something that is already showing potentials of turning out to be the next significant solution for SME business. He has roped in Confiance as his communication partner and he swears by them. He says, “The Confiance team ensured that we are not trapped in the confirmation bias and think about communication from a fresh perspective.”

However, there was one area we were just allowed a peak – the animation room. We were told that the people there were a bit xenophobic and even the partners had to knock before entering! Yes! Chalk and cheese, should they want, can indeed tango.

A similar sentiment is echoed by Mr Debotosh Chatterjee, Managing Director of CCASPL – a facility services business with around 5000 staff on payroll. He has been supporting Confiance since its inception and is best placed to qualify his consultants. Not known for hedging his words he says, “Confiance helped me to digitize the business processes for our organization to navigate through the future challenges.” A measured statement, yet it speaks volumes about the brand the start-up has built for itself. It was nearly five when Animesh begged to be excused www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

Business Connect Team Do you ever feel stressed at your day job or business? Did you sometimes feel this sense of anxiety about “Same Old, Same Old”? Maybe this feeling came because you know deep down you’re not following the desire to travel the world. This is simply because you are not following that fire of happiness,which is only achieved by travel. The fusion of passion for travel inside your heart and soul, that’s telling you to buy that airplane ticket and fly away from all the worries of work. Whenever you made the leap of faith about any vacation, traveling is certainly great for so many aspects of our being. One of those aspects is looking for peace around you and creating it within yourself. Travel is not always peaceful as you wanted it to be, it is a stressful period. Whether you are heading for your favorite destination for vacation or in the most blissful place, your body doesn’t know how to differentiate between positive stress and negative stress during travel. For most of people, this is a reality, whether traveling or not (as it applies to the fears and challenges of everyday life). Therefore, today we will discuss the benefits of mental health and inner peace in so many ways. Let’s dig in and explore ways to discover Peace While Traveling:-

Travel gives you the ability to unplug and Increased Self-Confidence No matter which place you decide to travel, you are always bound to interact with new peoples and meet new people (especially if you plan a solo trip). Travel gives you the ability to experiences on every corner to increase the self-confidence that will later redefine your inner peace. Travelingcan greatly impact your self-confidence in many positive ways. The step towards traveling will boost your self-confidence immediately, especially if you’re going there alone without fears and worries of work. You will always feel much better about yourself and you will be excited to try out new things.

Traveling can ingrain a stronger sense of gratitude Everybody wants to travel and traveling brings us to the last and probably the biggest benefit to our mental health which is “Gratitude”. Gratitude gives you the feeling of accomplishment, being thankful, andmeaning to be satisfied with our own lives. Gratitude brings these things to improve your mental health while traveling. It reinvents you and makes you relax, this can lead to a greater sense of happiness, satisfaction, peacefulness, and all come for gratitude. It not only helps you to give room to breathe but also enhancesyou to realize that the life you are livingis worthwhile. On this note, you will feel accomplished by your gratitudeand feel the freedom to travel. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

People Do Not Care How Much You Know Until They Know How Much You Care

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

Teddy Roosevelt 42

How it all started? Rewind the tape to 2015. Devina Coutinho, the CoFounder at DesignCoz was then working with Adobe Systems. After her 4-year stint in Bangalore, she wanted to relocate to Mumbai and was looking out for a UX Design job. The start-up scene was booming at the time and she received a couple of offers. While negotiating, one of the startups that was cash-strapped but keen on hiring her, made an interesting offer. They offered to pay within their budget, but reduced the working days in a week to 2. This gave a lot of flexibility and Devina decided to approach other start-ups with the same concept. To her pleasant surprise, the other start-ups also agreed and by the end of the 1st month there were 4 start-ups that she had to visit 1-2 times a week and work out of their offices.

Around the same time, her sister Althea Coutinho also graduated from Symbiosis Institute of Design and was contemplating her next step. Althea had worked previously with June Software for 2 years as a Game and UIUX Designer. As there was more than enough work coming from these 4 start-ups, the sister duo came together and DesignCoz was formed. At this point, they neither had a website nor any connections -Just the desire to do good work.

Good customer service is sales on autopilot DesignCoz have worked with many companies of different sizes, across different geographies and across varied domains. Coverfox, Aster Pharmacies, Timesaverz, Craftsvilla, Instarem, Adobe Systems, Edelweiss, Homelane, ICICI Securities, Oro wealth, etc. are some of their clients. They genuinely want the products designed to succeed in the market. The client notices this care and craftsmanship and in turn, rewards them with repeat business and client referrals. Their designers are tech savvy, detail oriented and ownership driven. They are a 12-member company and all 12 employees are designers only. They have managed to grow organically without any budget or resources allocated for sales or marketing. Their biggest achievement is that clients are happy with their work and have supported their growth.

As Devina puts it, “Maybe doing a regular job would have been easier than visiting different offices on different days. However, in a consulting role where one can be fired with no notice, no questions asked, you need to generate value for your clients and their business every day. You suddenly grow up overnight and become more accountable for your designs and decisions. It’s no longer just about how good your mock-ups are. The bottom line is that the product either gets shipped or not. And your payments are tied to the success of the product in the market.”

Talent wins games, but teamwork wins championships. Today many designers are quitting conventional jobs to work independently for themselves and only do work they enjoy. Thus it’s important to encourage intrapreneurship within a company to ensure that a designer learns and grows constantly. At DesignCoz, there is a firm belief that the only way to grow is to grow together. They know the strengths and weaknesses of every employee in the company and a customized growth path is defined for everyone. Apart from that, they have weekly workshops and talks from industry experts to ensure that they are constantly upgrading their skill sets and awareness on market trends.

Working with clients in-house as their extended team in a cross-functional environment helps improve business thinking. It wasn’t only about user needs anymore, it is about everyone’s needs - marketing, sales, business development, product management and technology. Everyone had to be satisfied to run the business and execute strategies successfully. Since they visited their client’s office only once a week and had to make the best use of time, they got better organized, efficiency and improved their communication skills. The soft skills learned in dealing with almost 60-90 people at a time across companies helped them develop techniques that fueled future growth.

The key to success is to focus on goals and not on obstacles DesignCoz has been 100% bootstrapped and self-sufficient since its inception. During the initial years, the focus was on mastering the trade. This year the focus is on operational efficiency and automating the project delivery pipeline. Other functions like sales, marketing, project delivery, accounts, HR, etc. are being set up to take DesignCoz to the next level. The CoFounders are determined to transfer their passion into a full-fledged digital service provider with global focus. So every day is a new challenge with new milestones to achieve.

The sister duo worked as consultants to start-ups for over a year. They eventually decided to stop working on-site to free up their bandwidth to take up more projects. After that, they moved into their own office space in 2016 and recruited their first batch of full-time employees. Since then, they have grown rapidly and never looked back. The difference between delivering merely good design mock-ups, and actually shipping successful products is Accountability. In 2011 when Devina passed out of IDC, IIT Bombay, designers were recruited at engineering designations in companies. The word UI or UX Design was not commonly used. There were only 3 institutes in India offering UI-UX Design courses. Now, the number has almost increased 10 times in 8 years. Learning and practising design has become very easy. However, the accountability is still missing somewhere. Just submitting design mockups to developers is not enough. Designers need to take complete ownership until their designs reach the market and real users actually use the products. 43

Caffeine

Walnuts and almonds

Caffeine is a substance commonly denoted for the in coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, green tea, and cocoa beans product. It’s also a very popular ingredient in simply fat-burning supplements and for good health reasons.

Plenty of studies point to nuts family aka walnuts and almonds, the best disease fighter in your diet. They are regarded as one of the best fat-burning foods you should add to your diet. By intaking of these nuts you can chalk it up to their fiber, their protein, and their nutritious fat. The result of this diet may increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin, aiding weight loss according to the reports of the American Council on Exercise.

Caffeine can also help you in boosting body metabolism and help your body to burn more fat. Most of the health researches shows that caffeine can temporarily boost your metabolism by up to 16% over one to two hours of its consumption.

Walnuts are one of the greatest sources of non-fish omega-3 fatty acids, and almonds provide an extra benefit in the form of bone-building calcium and energy-giving substances.

In addition, several studies over the caffeine have shown that it can help your body to burn more fat as fuel. Hence, this particular effect appears to be stronger in lean people than already obese people.

Salmon

Unfortunately, consuming too much caffeine could make your body more tolerant of its bad effects.

Eating fat to burn fat might sound like a crazy idea when you’re trying to lose body fat, but getting more omega-3 fatty acids from best fish like salmon could be just what the diet doctor suggests. According to a research study in PLoSOne in 2015, which found omega-3 supplementation resulted in a lower waist-hip ratio it is advised to add them in the fat burning diet.

Protein

Protein transforms the body very well. Eating meals that are high in protein may help a person feel fuller and fitter for longer. Protein can support fat burning and weight loss in many ways let us show you how to deal with it. For example, the people who consume high-protein foods may feel fuller for longer with their hunger and work better. Eating protein may also increase body metabolism, allowing the body to more efficiently burn fat.

Hereby, try to eat salmon or another oily fish, like herring, mackerel, or canned tuna, at least twice a week for better results. If that doesn’t sound appealing, substitute the fish for other fat-burning foods that are rich in omega-3s that are nuts.

Some high-protein foods contain fewer calories than high-carbohydrate foods. For example, a large bowl, of cooked, plain spaghetti contains fewer calories and 7.19 g of protein.

DRONAA EDUCON PVT. LTD:

PROVIDES AN INCREDIBLE EXPOSURE TO INDIAN STUDENTS FOR STUDYING ABROAD Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect

“

Competition has always brought out the best and we welcome all sorts of competition.

”

NISHU MAHENDRA Founder & MD

Globalization is picking up the pace across the world, and our country is no exception to it. It has touched the roots of the educational arena as well. Youngsters of India want to leverage their educational standards, that’s why they are opting for studying abroad. Acting as an interface, DRONAA EDUCON Pvt. Ltd. helps the students to study in foreign countries.

OFFERING SUCH A LARGE SELECTION OF INTERNATIONAL COURSES, WHAT INSPIRATION DREW YOU TO A PATH OF THIS NATURE? There is a huge market of study abroad and many big players too, however, there is still a wide gap where people are not guided as per the expectations and they end up choosing the wrong course or the wrong path to a promising career and eventually end up wasting all their resources and don’t get the desired result. There, I decided to help all those who aspire to study abroad and wanted to prove that right kind guidance and support is all that can nurture good careers. After learning the nitty-gritty of the trade, I established this bran brand Dronaa, and since then there has been no looking back.

In a conversation with Business Connect Magazine, Nishu Mahendra, the Founder and MD of Dronaa Educon Pvt. Ltd., has shared some indispensable insights.

PLEASE WALK US THROUGH THE PROFILE OF THE GROUP AND ITS SERVICES. Drona Educon Pvt. Ltd. is a six-year-old company, which deals with the ‘study abroad sector’ of education. We have three different divisions of education. Firstly, we deal with more than 1000 courses of 200 different universities and colleges of more than 25 countries like the UK, USA, NZ, Australia, Canada, Germany, and Europe. We secondly deal with MBBS study programs in more than 10 countries such as the UK, Ireland, Europe, Kazakhstan, Russia, and many more. Our third segment is training where we train students for IELTS, PTE, GRE, SAT, OET, etc. in the classroom and online through webinar/Skype. Recently, we have ventured into immigration fragment also as we were inundated with queries and we couldn’t resist further. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

WITH PROVIDING TRAINING OF GLOBAL STANDARDS, DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR CHALLENGES WERE ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST? If you are asking about the training courses that we run or the consultancy that we have, in both the cases the challenges faced were no different in any way. However, our approach to deal with them has been different. We have a motto that our company is just not to establish itself as a company but to establish the careers of the candidates also, who approach us with that trust in us. This gives us strength and confidence to do better and better. I monitor all the aspects of the business and whenever required I 48

co-applicant with their husbands prefer online training. There is a wide potential, which is still untapped and can be accessed.

guide, mentor, and counsel the candidates and their family to help them choose and decide the best.

YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE MARKET FOR A WHILE NOW, WHAT KIND OF STRATEGIES DID YOU DEPLOY TO OVERCOME YOUR CHALLENGES? Well, as I told you, business keeps posing the challenges, and the approach adopted makes all the difference. My strategies are the positive frame of mind, giving space to every human being, be it staff or the candidate and letting things take its own shape. As far as promotion and marketing, we all know that this is the age of digital communication and we focus on that. Our sincerity and genuine approach to work is our main strategy.

The education sector of any nature is a competitive market, do you believe competition is necessary and how much? Well, competition is a sign of developing market and that is good for business. The competitive market makes the sector more creative and innovative and that leads to a business win-win business model; the service provider and the service receiver both are benefitted. Extreme competition is a sign that the economy is cracking and there are not enough working areas. Whatever, but I believe that competition has always brought out the best and we welcome all sort of competition.

WHAT ALL FACILITIES ARE MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE ONES ENROLLING WITH YOU? We have a wide range of facilities. Firstly, we provide numerous sessions of free counseling even before the student enrolls. Once he enrolls, we help him in arranging all the papers to apply to the desired university, help him to get the admission on time, the visa process and paperwork. We also help in arranging accommodation, ticketing, and flying. The most highlighting point of our services is that we provide an on-arrival facility in every country and not only this we also provide a local point of contact just as a guardian till the students stay there and complete their courses.

WHAT OTHER MILESTONES HAVE YOU ACHIEVED AS YET? I am happy to answer this question. When hard work is recognized, it always gives a proud feeling. We are proud to be awarded as the Best Overseas consultant in North India- 2017. We are Qisan Approved Agency. We are Uniagent- Gold Certified Agency. We are ICEF Trained-ITAC 1168. We have QEAC Trained Staff. We are a British Council – Approved Examination Booking Centre. We are recognized Agency by IDP & Pearson. I hope this is enough, though, the more the merrier, we are trying to reach newer and newer heights. I am also a member of the Georgia Asia Chamber of Commerce.

IS ACADEMICS THE ONLY AREA THAT IS POLISHED OR THERE ARE OTHER ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED AS WELL? Of course, the primary focus is on academic development. However, we are a student-centric company and work for holistic development. Thus, we conduct pre-departure briefing sessions, communication skills, cultural differences, and Mother Tongue Influences are taught and discussed with all those students who need them the most. We also conduct similar sessions for all those who return India after the completion of the course to discuss the work prospects and to help them in the exploration of other avenues.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? We want to cover the entire length and breadth of the nation. Under our Pan-India plans, we are working to increase our branches. Currently, we have our head office in Noida at sec.-18 and branches at Amritsar, Lucknow, Bareilly, and Roorkee. We are a registered company in Australia. We have wide plans of expansion and soon we shall be opening more branches.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE THE FAITH OF YOUR STUDENTS IN YOU? We are happy that our students have been more than satisfied with us. We have worked hard towards it. Our mantra of winning students’ hearts and mind is to be concerned with their aspirations, goals, issues, and careers. We align ourselves with their goals and aspirations that motivate us and infuse faith in them.

WHAT IS THAT YOU ARE PROVIDING DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS IN THIS SECTOR? I would tell everyone to be true to yourself and devote your time in constructive pursuits as the end result is desired the most. I myself have the exposure of traveling in 20+ countries where I personally visit the universities; this experience also helps my team to share the real experience with students. We evaluate the demand which meets with specialization of a particular sector to give advice to students If you are looking forward to studying abroad, make a visit to us we shall give you free counseling and guide you to move in the direction of achieving the target of your life. Immigration aspirants must choose wisely as per their profile. Lastly, I would say work hard but party harder, as that keeps you going. And ‘Passion’ is the world that should not be missed from your lifestyle.

DO YOU FEEL ONLINE TRAINING HAS ACCLAIMED ITS WORTH IN THE MARKET? Yes, to a certain extent. We have a good student base which is online and they are happy. Removing the need for classroom coaching is what I believe impossible. We have daily online batches for IELTS and PTE, and the number of students is ever increasing. All the working professionals, people from distant areas and even housewives who are 49

DEVELOPING A SENSE OF TRUST

FOR INSPIRATION TO LOOK UP AT…

For stepping up at the ladder of success and growth, the ace entrepreneur- Hemant Khadse follows the pedestal of Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs and Wozniak were the co-founders of Apple Inc. While they were developing the first Apple computer they ran out of money. They could have given up on their dream of building a computer but instead, they choose to thrive. Steve Jobs sold his van and Wozniak sold his graphing calculator to raise some money. This has inspired the leader to the core.

Transparent and Professional approach are the two quintessential traits to forge a strong and robust relation with the customers. Elaborating the trust factor, Hemant states, “Once we take care of his problem, he takes care of us well.”

“Learn to see your obstacles as an opportunity to succeed. If you really want to do something, you will always find a way to complete it. Once you have this mind-set, then nothing can stop you from overcoming your obstacles. There are many learnings Steve has left for all entrepreneurs and I am one of the followers.” ~Hemant Khadse

Social Media is the most powerful and frequently used tool to obtain all the latest and boiling updates of the industry.

TRANSFORMATION FOR STARTUPS

Hemant, the visionary, has some words to share with our aspiring leaders and readers of Business Connect. He says,

Mudra loan has helped remarkably and is a big success for the Modi government. East Corp Group is one of the

“India being price sensitive marketplace; to safety security, the least importance is given. We wake up only when something directly affects us or our business. Users are still unaware of the best practices and statutory compliances that may prevent their losses or danger rather paying for risk. We do many free training awareness programs on fire safety but some people still consider its not meant for them. This mindset needs to change. I urge the corporate industry to come forward and engage professionals to build the culture of safety. Safety- security is an investment and not an expense.”

Government plays a pivotal role in making things easier for startups, and eventually, this upsurges our economy by proliferating the businesses around. Current Government has introduced a multitude of plans for startups in the entreprenuial space to overcome the financial limitations, which are generally faced by them. Self-certification, income tax exemption, etc. are there to provide the best aid to startups and stimulate them to enlarge their businesses.

Monday Morning Blues or Emotional Alarm: 5 steps to overcome Monday Dreads Business Connect Team As long as days in the week pass, the weekend ends and Monday arrives. The Monday mornings really get the alarming emotion for everyone to wake up. After a long, relaxing weekendone must find waking up on Monday morning difficult, in fact, the thought of ‘Monday’ is depressing after holidays. Everybody is in a rush to be on time to college, office, meeting and other daily tasks. In a hurry to tripping out of bed to make coffee, worry about work clothes, and the phone is buzzing emails from your boss demanding a file now, etceteraetcetera. Monday defines all the worry of the world as the realization of Monday hitting you again. Mondays are also disliked because there are endless numbers of anti-Monday memes. The ‘Monday Blues’ describes negative emotions that many of the people get at the beginning of the new workweek. It usually happens when they’re not happy at work. It also contains the elements of depression, tiredness, and a sense that work is unpleasant but unavoidable. We will discuss in this article about making your Monday blues rocking mornings. You can cure your Mondays by making your workplace better, planning and forging things in advance, and taking care of yourself as well.

Here are 5 ways to beat your dreadful Monday Blues: Making Your Workplace a Better Place to work

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

The first step towards making Monday blues better is by making your workplace or college life better. If someone is feeling down on Monday morning, it’s most likely to happen because they are not a fan of their work or college course. Maybe it’s the job itself and college, or maybe it’s the people you work with and your college mates. You need to take a breath or some time to think about what really bothers you about your job and study by brainstorming your head for a period of time. Make a little diary to write down the issues that are really bothering you. Hereby, this principle applies really well no matter what situation you’re in. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

better.No matter how important the demands or professional work life get, it’s very important to replenish the lost stores of life as in your relationships alsowith Fitness and Self-Care. If you notice some things like feeling disconnected with family by work pressure then it’s time to say goodbye to colleagues and start living with family, spouse’s or friends’. The main cause of this conflict between relationships is that you may be spending too much time at work and forgetting your duty towards relations and home. Don’t worry, it’s time to take a step back, and commit to spending more time developing your relationships outside of work. One simplest way to accomplish this goal is to ask yourself for the office that if you can work from home one day a week for giving that time to family. By doing this you will get at least one cut down for your commuting time and by giving this time to loved ones secure your relationships better with your family.

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

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

Invest in your relationships Invest in your relationships the same as you are investing in office and work.Work-life integration is very important in balancing Work and Life (Relations) 53

The market is very competitive and hence tough. The main competition for them is from the ‘quality’ not with an entrepreneur or any market. They strive hard to provide quality to the clients. They feel that if they are able to maintain quality, the quantity will be with them and hence, they will always remain busy. Another competition is from the pricing. They believe in keeping their pricing as moderate, so that, they can cater to big, medium and small companies.

In the process, they handle the transaction, compliances, registration, and Legal Opinion. They also handle litigation, and pre-litigation communications/negotiations.

However, no senior will hesitate to guide juniors in their team, when guidance is sought.

They do believe in ethics and ethical practices. Unless their client shows faith & confidence in them, they would not be able to advance the heavy arguments in courts. Such faith in them keeps them motivated and energize their team to yield the results for the clients.

SOCIETY KNOWS PERFECTLY WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO

There are many instances of their CSR activities, which they do not publish, but, continue with it. If they think of resolving an issue with ‘win-win’ approach, it is also CSR. In their routine practice, sometimes they have to offer extra to the needy and take up the assignment without commercials or commercial mind-set. They were the educated members of the society who owe a lot to the Society, and hence, they tend to give it back whenever and whatever possible.

RESEARCH; THE QUEST FOR IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM FOR THE CHANGE

They have the system of regular updates on Law and prevailing market practices. Legajoist publishes a monthly newsletter which covers Articles, Updates on Laws, and Amendments. Team Legajoist does research work, and therefore find out material for publication, execution, and also for internal team discussion.

They all are motivated to demonstrate energy in their life before providing anything to clients. In order to keep the zeal of their team members, they encourage them to be truthful and transparent.

One of the most essential things to understand is that not every idea is going to be successful, especially in the creative world. Patience is a virtue that you will learn. The world is not a cakewalk, and one must get to know this when they are on the field, setting up their dream.

WAYS TO BUILD

A COMPANY CULTURE

THAT PROMOTES AND RETAINS WOMEN AND MINORITIES Business Connect Team Most of the Companies have been trying to improve their diversity at workplace, from decades this problem is in concern. The most common techniques among all are promoting the workplace for women and minorities who are working under the suppression and bias. The numerous women and other people who are facing discrimination by the leadership roles are still staggeringly low across every industry. Therefore, we need some of the ways and new techniques, for making the work culture sound and systemic to the ways businesses are run. Hereby, many companies focus on making the small adjustments on to how performance and evaluations are done, but a very few works for the equality in workplace. Let us discuss 5 ways by which you can build a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture that promotes and retains women and minorities:-

Make a Council Consider the team meetings by forming a council that comprises a dedicated group of key officials and influential leaders who are one or two levels below the CEO i.e. Managers and team leaders. For making the best ethics which are in favor of feminism majority and other minorities, these official can listen and act well to maintain the ethical chain. The company must carefully select them for their passion and commitment to inclusion. Some of the executives should also host, office hours where every employee can walk in and talk to anyone by one-onone understanding. The company needs to block one to two hours on their calendar monthly for such office hours and make it known at the hands of company. Some of the Tools like Culture amp and Survey monkey are very helpful in surveying employees at scale, but be intentional in what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to measure and improve.

Make Policies and Ethics Some of the attracting policies for the employees like flexible working hours, proper ways like the ability to work remotely, and most importantly, being able to take the time off, when they have some important life events or circumstances. Every work culture needs to allow their people to be themselves and to provide necessary freedom of speech whenever you do not feel to say matter. Therefore, if someone having care benefits, especially pregnant women- like childcare or maternal sabbaticals leaves. It should be always a flexible leave for employees to take care of a family member or ill loved ones to go a long way in making employees feel supported and build loyalty. These are just a few suggestions; invest in listening to your people and understand what will make their life less difficult. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

Focus on the middle manager You can keep on focus by adapting some of the new policy time to time that strengthens the trust and communications between supervisors (Middle Manager). Those feminine and minorities that work under them, a real manager always helps to improve the work culture for all parties involved. That took an emplacing to those, who are in middle management positions and can provide a company with a clear sense of the challenges that need to be addressed for employers. They should always ask their employees for referrals and team connectivity, since they will also have peers in the industry and some of the friends they want to make team. If any position is vacant or they know any the qualified candidate who may be looking for work then they can connect them with managers. This type of relationship can also help new employees adjust to the move by referrals.

Promote a clear vision of leadership The true vision of leadership starts from making sure that the women of the workplace can see themselves as leaders at your company if they are in a good position. The company itself is to be sure that your definition of a leader isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so narrow that it excludes ethnically diverse women and unprivileged persons. For those instincts, you need to provide the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diversityâ&#x20AC;? training in your workplace. Therefore, all the employees should understand the hiring decisions are based on finding the best candidate not by bias and not by any quotas. Making the recruiting process more transparent can help ease the minds of employees and gives a clear vision to your business idea.

Beneficial flexibility to the workforce You have to encourage the current leaders at your company for taking the extra step to connect with employees by all means. Employees who are culturally and racially different from them, rather than expecting them to suppress or change in order to fit the majority of the office culture leaders must have mold and culture others for them. They can easily offer the benefits such as onsite day-care things, childcare subsidies which include the flexible schedules, and also let new hires know the fact that your company is willing to accommodate your cultural and religious holidays and you will get a diversity-friendly workplace apparel choices.

OM SHARMA: MAN BEHIND THE COLOSSAL CREATION ‘Webmaddy’ Avishek Singh | Business Connect “I personally believe that our clients are the ones investing in us and hence, we should ensure that they have the best Return on Investment.” ~ Om Sharma Warren G. Bennis to inspire said, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” And the words quoted above are close to truth and reality.

That’s the reason under his incredible supervision, Webmaddy is celebrating the staggering success in the arena of Web Development & Digital Marketing. CORE ESSENTIALS Creativity is Webmaddy’s forte by which it has created a distinctive mark in the digital space. The inception of the company happened in the year 2012 by the young visionary and creative soulOm Sharma. It is regarded as one of the top-notch Web Development & Digital Marketing Solution companies in India.

OM SHARMA ( Founder)

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Special Edition September 2019 INDIA

SYNCHRONZING WITH THE LATEST Change is inevitable and it’s always wise to cope with the changes in and out of the system. If you donot then the graph of success and prosperity will show a straight line. Similarly, the industry in which Webmaddy works changes every three months, therefore they make sure that their team is upgraded with whatever is new and trendy. Om Sharma states, “I remember, Laravel, an open-source PHP web framework, was researched upon and got into use much before people actually started knowing about it.”

THE NOBLE DEEDS The entrepreneur has an empathetic heart so doing something for the sake of society gives a relief to his soul that amounts a lot. On the positive fronts, they donate a part of profits twice every year for a Cancer Treatment Rehab, which itself a noble deed. Other than this, they help startups, who are at their beginning phase, by working with them on a zero profit basis.

HARDSHIPS DEFINE SUCCESS Walking on the linear path provides no learning and adventure. Zero obstructions result in no growth or advancement. The vivacious and resilient entrepreneurOm Sharma believes that the extremeties and crosses he faced are the pillars of his success. Working for big companies and outsourcing web solutions for them at a very low rate, he embarked on his career expedition. Then a moment of epiphany created and he became aware of the reality. Consequently, he researched a lot because at that point of time he wanted to learn and grow. A few months later, an opportunity knocked the gates of Om’s fate as he was offered to work on a project for Raymond and this proved to be a turning point in entrepereneur’s career. Circumnavigating the professional realm, he interacted with new and successful people and understood how a client interacts.

Once a year, the entire team of Webmaddy goes for the Green Movement, where they plant saplings. The maestro says, “Also whenever I get free time, I ensure that I go to institutes and spread the knowledge that I have to the young minds.” ACHIEVEMENTS TO BOAST OF The awards and rewards only donot define the progress; it’s the individual perception to evaluate and celebrate the progress even the tiniest one. Om felt privileged on being called as one of the speakers in companies like Google and many engineering colleges to speak about different technologies and ranks it as an incredible and prestigious achievement.

Om was on the excursion of Learning, Relearning and Unlearning when he got a chance to work with Coca-Cola during Durga Puja for their campaign. But, the wheels of destiny rolled in the opposite direction and worked against him when he was moving forward. This experience stimulated him to stop outsourcing once and for all and pushed him to take his own entreprenuial route. Since that day he has never looked back and progressed triumphantly with a sheer hardwork and exemplary vision.

He states, “I also believe that the way our referral system works is a great milestone for me to achieve.” They do not have any Marketing team and work is growing only through the referral of clients. The rate of client retention that they maintain is also one of the stupendous achievements. Their first client is still with them and that is something that he is quite proud of and elated about.

PEOPLE’S RETENTION IS HIGHER HERE! Om Sharma says, “Your people provide an unbreakable strength and confidence to run a vast empire or company. Without their robust support, how one can think to move ahead?”

FOR THE READERS OF BUSINESS CONNECT Business Connect inspires and helps in boosting the confidence of a lot of amateur entrepreneurs and motivates them to learn about never giving up attitude. It gives them solutions and helps them to grasp a lot about the hurdles and success story of the established entrepreneur of the coming age.

Webmaddy values its people the most and here, the retention rate is increasing with time. The people with whom the company started working with are still working; isn’t it amazing? The company doesnot support any hierarchical division rather it encourages cordial relation amongst the workforce. Om Sharma states, “I refrain from calling them as my employees rather we are a team, where each one of us is a leader. We all are almost the same age, so we are like friends.”

The visionary, with an inspiring attitude, states, “ I would like to tell everyone who is reading this that there is a huge difference between the thinkers and the executers, it’s your call whether you want to dream about things and crib about not accomplishing it or you want to go out, explore, fall down and get back up stronger. You need to start dreaming with your eyes open and leave no chance to accomplish it. You never know when fate can be a kind soul to you. NEVER STOP.”

There is a sense of ownership in them that incites them to cherish their powers that ensures that they are fulfilling their responsibilities. 69
