COLD CHAIN

Service Providers 2022

Dr. Upender Rao Pochampally Founder & Managing Director

profits. Business Connect has a tremendous history of featuring numerous top-notch companies that are leading their respective domains with their excellent solution panel. And here again, our Industrial team is back with another top-notch tale of a leading venture in the arena of Logistics-Coldcare Services Pvt. Ltd. Their story immensely inspired us and made us feature them on the cover as per our upcoming edition-Most Promising Logistics Services Provider to Watch. Our editorial team had an interesting and joyful session with the Founder and MD of the company, Dr. P. Upender Rao. The enthusiastic leader shared multiple unknown facts about the company and its success journey from scratch. The visionary also spills the beans on an excellent entrepreneurship career for our upcoming leaders and global leadership-that we are keen to share in this fascinating read.

GUY KAWASAKI HAS QUOTED, “Great companies start because the founders want to change the world, not to make a fast buck.” In present times, few selected business ventures are operating in their respective realms for the betterment of the business world and to make people’s lives easier, rather than keeping their primary focus on gaining

Conceptualized in the year 2000, Dr. Rao. started Coldcare Services with a vision to deliver the best possible solutions in the domain of logistics and storage. His major motive was to fill the gap in the supply and demand chain for numerous food commodities and that’s the reason, the company got transformed into a leading venture gradually. Elaborating the portfolio of the company, Dr. Rao asserts, “We, at Coldcare, take up the entire project from the concept till commissioning of the project, and we call it ‘Concept to Keys’. Coldcare services (P) Ltd is considering fulfilling all the cold storage requirements with great excellence as we are the one-stop solution for clients. Our focus is to deliver the most reliable turnkey solutions to all your requirements in the cold storage endeavors. With the company’s age of 22 years and a family of 300 members working constantly to align with the growth and success of the company. Moreover, the focus of the company is still intact with creating the worldclass infrastructure for the cold chain, and in the due process, we as the company have decided to go with the forward vertical integration as expanding our portfolio of the companiesbut instead of acquiring the other companies, we have decided to form our verticals in Warehousing and Logistics in the year 2006 and create a system of complete cold chain within the company. cold care services being the mother company now has three verticals named Coldcare warehousing and Logistics COVER STORY

(Which we concentrate on the reefer logistics and complete frozen store with Palletized Racking Cold Storage), and Cold care Agritech (Wherein, we concentrate on the cold chain storage and as part of our 3PL distribution) and also into manufacturing of vehicle-mounted reefer containers.”

WHY COLDCARE? “Competition in business is a blessing, for, without it, we wouldn’t be motivated to improve.”-Nabil N. Jamal. Having a fool-proof plan to tackle the competition is necessarybut creating and developing a unique proposition throughout the organization equally matters. And the team of Coldcare has understood the assignment very well. Coldcare has always been a perfect synonym for cold storage services in the market because they take up the entire turnkey project from concept to keys. Providing an end-to-end supply chain to its clients, the company believes that being a onestop shop in the industry is the major unique selling point that is helping

them scale the success ladder at a brisk pace. Throwing some light on the company’s competitive advantages, Dr. Rao affirms, “India has seen a phenomenal growth from the last 3 decades in terms of the horticulture produce, dairy and meat products. India is considered one of the top three in the production of commodities including poultry, seafood, spices, fruits, and vegetables, and India’s present share in global farm trade is still considered a small share. India is the second-largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world with a production of 81.3 million MT (Metric Tonne)and 162.2 million MT respectively but its share in the global export of fruits and vegetables is around 1.4% only. Approximately, 18% of fruits and vegetables get wasted in the country. This is mainly caused due to lack of cold chain infrastructure, which includes both storage and transportation facilities. And if we look deeply, the cold chain industry in India is still at a nascent stage. Although, there is a large production of perishables still the cold chain potential remains untapped due to certain reasons like the high share of single commodity cold storage, high initial investment (for refrigerator units and land), lack of enabling infrastructure like power & roads, lack of awareness for handling perishable produce and lapse of service either by the storage provider or the transporter leading to poor quality produce. However, increasing urbanization and growth of organized retail, food servicing, and food processing sector are boosting the growth of the cold chain industry in India. The trend is shifting towards establishing multipurpose cold storage and providing end-to-end services to control parameters throughout the value chain. Cold stores form the heart of the cold chain. The cold storage industry in India indicates that cold stores have been established initially from the beginning of the twentieth century but with very slow development. Earlier, the units were designed mostly for the storage of potatoes and were located in areas like UP, West Bengal, Punjab, Bihar, etc. Cold care services are trying to maximize the opportunities in the following trends and constantly

trying to improve and innovate in terms of construction of the cold storage within the stipulated cost, as the cold chain is considered a high capital intensive industry. With 2 decades of experience, the team of Coldcare Services truly understands the bottlenecks of the industry and constantly trying to adapt to the new technologies like the usage of RFID tags, IoT solutions, etc. to maximize the opportunities created by the trends of the industry.”

GRASP OVER R&D

Research and development are certainly one of the most crucial ingredients of a successful business portfolio. And With the ever-changing world and uncertain business arenas, its importance gets hype even more as nowadays-it is the major element for an organization’s growth and success. Moreover, we all are aware of the fact that people’s mindset is constantly changing as per the innovation, and at present, clients are more inclined toward product quality than quantity. And that’s the reason, Coldcare is adopting emerging changes in its day-to-day operations to match the expectations of the clientele.

No doubt, innovation is also an inseparable part of R&D, and hence, the company equally focuses on this aspect as well.

“Innovation has always been the major driving force to run the company, the idea and vision of changing the entire cold chain industry would not be a piece of cake. With the constant improvement in technology across the world in the cold chain segment, cold care services have proved that the growth and survival of the industry are directly related to innovation. Cold care services (P) Ltd has bought various new trends to the construction of the cold storage.” -Dr. Rao.

FUTURE ENDEAVORS

Certainly, the future is as bright as the sun for the team of Coldcare Services as they have bagged unmatched brand value in its respective realm-but they are not ready

to stop their wheel at this point only. There is a lot that they are aspiring to achieve shortly with their excellent solutions and quality products. “The Indian cold storage market is currently very fragmented and unorganized with 8,200 facilities that are largely suitable for storing single commodities, mainly potatoes. We believe that there is ample opportunity for developers and third-party logistics players for developing multi-purpose cold chain facilities in India. Indian cold chain sector to grow at 14% CAGR till 2023, driven by a surge in online grocery, pharmaceuticals sales, and the ongoing Covid-19 vaccination drive. Hence, Cold care services Pvt. Ltd. is planning on a vast expansion of the construction of the cold storage across Pan-India-and we are majorly in focus on tier II and tier III cities, which can be closer to the distribution and provide efficient last-mile deliveries. We also are mainly in focus on the chemicals and pharmaceutical segments that have grown tremendously after the surge of covid. Coldcare services do build cold storage with 100 percent FDI-approved norms for the pharmaceutical industry. We are on the verge of expanding our logistics networks as well with the interconnected cold storage plans, which we are looking ahead as part of our 2025 expansion plan.” Our team requests the leader to share some valuable nuggets for all the budding business enthusiasts out there. So, before signing off, the founder asserts,

“To all the budding entrepreneurs, I would say that market research should be your top priority while starting a company in the cold chain industry. The geographical location is also one of the major aspects that should be investigated carefully. The easier the connectivity, the easier it would be to survive in the industry. Also, making money out of business has always been a secondary concept for me. The primary is to get the greater good. I strongly believe that customer satisfaction is the utmost priority. We provide the one-stop solution by our concept to keys method.”

CULTURE

Tips to Drive Diversity and Inclusion at Your Workplace Over the past few years, diversity and inclusion in the workplace have always been hot topics. It should be because a diverse workforce (in age, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, and gender) has the ability to bring diverse viewpoints and perspectives to the organization, these elements can aid you to produce great products and great new ways to cater to consumers. But it cannot be possible without inclusion (collaborative, supportive, and respectful environment). Many types of research have shown that there is an inherent link between diversity and inclusion. Many strong companies value D&I policy, so do you. Having such kind culture make employees feel more secure and confident. In that case, they can perform better.

Here I have given 4 tips to drive diversity and inclusion at your workstation. SECURE BUY-IN FORM LEADERS

Former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi once said, “Just because you are CEO, don’t think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization.” This is entirely true for driving diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It isn’t enough for any company to have policies in place if they are not being made law. Tone and retheme of activity come from those most visible. So, diversity and inclusion must be led from the top and then lived by all through the organization. A meaningful step towards the right direction makes

changes. Leaders run the culture and buy-in from the senior staff can ensure a greater chance of adoption. A great team also requires a leader. A leader, who understands team perspectives, creates a sense among team members that they belong to this place and works to develop a deep sense of alignment and camaraderie. This kind of culture stretches beyond a “diversity quota” in the recruitment strategy and needs to be grown from leadership. The perception; diversity and inclusion are embedded in each aspect of the organization is important for its overall success.

whether it’s learning about special rights in the workplace, how to ease implicit bias from interview panels, or even had experiences of marginalized groups, these are all vital pieces of information in the cause. Now the question is, what is the best way to learn? There is a lot of free and paid training program available on the internet pick best one.

DISCUSS YOUR DIVERSITY POLICY OFTEN AND CLEARLY

Many companies start their diversity and inclusion policy with a perfect plan. But when it comes to discussion, most organizations get stumbled. In order to sustain the policy D&I, often communication is imperative for success. Also, do not forget to follow-through with the plan. The diversity policy makes the base of your organization commitment and posture. It should be consistently promoted; otherwise, it lips the service. Ensure it isn’t just on your web page or in siloed company folders. Put the contents on newsletters, and social media, even use official email to demonstrate that you not only talk the talk. Similarly, that having leader commitment supports the effort, so does your often conversation. It should be followed in two- ways, first by encouraging feedback from your employees and others communicating regularly.

PROVIDE TRAINING AND EDUCATION

In order to proactively demonstrate your commitment to diversity & inclusion, you have to organize training for this policy. It will equip your teams with a deep understanding and practical skills to make sure a more inclusive workforce. As vital as getting a leader to buy in is, each and every team member also need to recognize their key role to support the culture. And it should start with educating team members. So,

ENHANCE THE VOICES OF MARGINALIZED

Your workplace can switch into a breeding ground for microaggressions toward underrepresented groups. In that case, it is difficult for those minorities who work at your place they unsure enough to raise a voice. So, it is crucial to learn how to disturb department and space, privilege, and power. Changes you will be experiencing when you become an effective ally for others. Look around the offices and meetings. Note down on your diary, who isn’t there, and raise this issue. To not let the workplace be a breeding ground, one should be able to bring their best self so that everyone can work and feel comfortable to contribute. Moreover, establish resource groups is another great key to make your team member’s voices heard.

Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect echnological disruption in the lending space has been waiting to happen for a while now. The players in the industry have been working on antiquated software and processes for far too long.

Aligning people toward a common goal

When the leadership is asked to reveal their respective strategies to bring people together to move in direction of the common objective, they provided us with a few pointers• Hire people with merit. Invest in building a strong team. • Lead from the front and set the right example for people to follow. Encourage the team to build a sense of ownership towards the Company. • Empathize with people’s problems and help them in their difficult times. Create a culture that values relationships, be it internally or with clients & vendors. • Invest in employees to become leaders, take ownership & work independently, while being strong team players.

Both of them articulated for us various aspects of the AI & Data powered SaaS platform they have set up while also sheding light on the nuances of their exemplary leadership styles.

A preface

CREDmitra specializes in developing tools that will help Lenders manage the loan through its life, very effectively. A loan has www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Issue 10 | May 2022 | INDIA

Inspiring cultural principles

The CREDmitra team strongly believes that what they are working towards is much greater than all of them put together. What they build here as a team will live on even after they are done and will continue to benefit the lending business and the financial industry in the long run. Hence, it is critical for them to be true to themselves and the tasks in hand. Needless to mention, integrity is an indispensable part of their culture. A compassionate approach towards all stakeholders - team mates, vendors, clients and forging strong relationships has been helping them scale and has been a key driver of their success. Ashish & Samved are also strong believers of work-life balance. “ While we believe in giving our 100% to our work, we also strongly believe we should give sufficient time to your loved ones and passions. You won’t give the desired output if you are not happy in your life outside of work,” asserted the co-founders.

Their team comprises highly innovative people across different roles who are always on the lookout for identifying problems at scale which can be solved by building technologies as part of our tech suite.

Apart from developing specific solutions to enhance the lending process, the team is also continuously experimenting with Web3 and other similar technologies to assess the synergies with their solutions, to ensure they can enable their client partners to always stay on top of their game.

The corporate learning

In the words of the CEO of CREDmitra Innovations, Samved -

“You don’t need to be the person with the most knowledge about each and everything that you can come across.It is impossible to be a leader without knowing the what, how and who of delegation. A leadership position requires you to be a good listener and a good observer. If you observe and listen carefully, you can delegate work to the right teams and empower them to take ownership of the tasks. You don’t need to be the most liked person because during work you will have to make difficult decisions. But it’s important to communicate very clearly and be approachable to your team members. Personally, I believe that a leader is nothing without his team. So, it is important to build the right core team around you and trust them to get the work done.”

The CREDmitra team thrives on innovation and the Founders are very clear that the company owes its existence to innovation and hence is the only constant for them.

We can bridge this class divide by empowering lenders through our solutions. By harnessing the power of technology, we are adamant about providing matchless solutions to our esteemed clientele across the globe,” reveals the duo.

A democratic leadership: commendable enough!

Moving ahead with the discussion, the duo continued by asserting the democratic leadership that thrives in the company. But at the same time, they are also aware of where to draw a line to maintain the balance in the organization. Undeniably, the men at the helm have nurtured the company with resounding success and are looking forward to achieving many more milestones as they grow the business. Both the leaders strongly complement each other in their leadership styles and stand tall as inspirations to the team.

What do they take pride in?

ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR 2021

PRIYATHAM KUMAR

THE EPITOME OF BRILLIANCE & MAKING THE REAL ESTATE REALM A BETTER PLACE Gulshan Praveen | Business Connect

“Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another” and the sheer will and endeavors of certain

C-Suites, portray this perfectly. History has witnessed how corporate leaders aided transformation, surpassing challenges that portrayed their might. For them, challenges were steppingstones; and with technological and economic transitions, they emerged marking a presence across the globe. Their value in the corporate space resonates with the masses and creates new paths for a rapid ascent. Priyatham Kumar, Founder & CEO, Homes247.in, is an ideal example of strong will and dedication. His endeavor to Homes247.in from a barrage of challenges and the heights of glory is a story worth telling. His efforts have tethered diverse real estate challenges, and now a global leader for accurate real estate solutions. Business Connect got an opportunity to arrange a virtual meet with the leading figure; we came across some exemplary business as well as technical insights-steering the operations of the company efficaciously. Undeniably, in the conversation, Priyatham unveils several aspects of the organization that gave us some food for thought that we believe will also fascinate our readers! Introducing himself to our global readership, Priyatham asserts, “Owning a home is everyone’s dream, and fulfilling that dream turned out to be mine. I have over a decade of experience in Real Estate and had worked with some of the top realty brands as well, before which I had worked in Banking and Insurance domain mainly. Though I loved my career, when I entered the real estate domain I found the industry was highly disorganized. The customers who wanted to buy a home for themselves were often cheated by the fraudulent elements, and the digital scene was very chaotic with many fake listings and confusing.” When our curious team asked the leader about his leadership, he affirms,

“You might have heard of how a boss says, “Just go whereas a leader says let’s go”. This is truly something I believe in and admire. Even at this age, my eagerness to learn has no limits, so I often found myself engaged with most of the departments, including sales, marketing, coding, design, content, etc. I learn from the youngsters especially, more than being a mentor, I also take in what they have to say, their expertise and occasionally blend in mine so that ultimately it benefits our product and brand, and in the end the customer.”

HOMES247.IN: ONE-STOP SHOP FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE DREAMS

“When one door closes, buy another one and open it yourself.” Every person out there aspires to have his or her own house where they can feel at home. Buying a house is the most dreamed about topic across the world. And to transform that dream into a reality, Homes247.in is relentlessly working in the domain of real estate. Our search for a story worth the narration landed us on the portfolio of this company. Our editorial team had an interesting and joyful session with the leadership panel of the venture, who shared numerous unknown facts about the journey so far. The CEO also shared numerous valuable nuggets for our global readership that we are keen to spill here in this fascinating read. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Issue 10 | May 2022 | INDIA

The inspiring leader has a robust perception that innovation is the foundation for a shining future. In this context, he asserts, “Take any business, industry, brand for that

matter, until and unless they embrace innovation, they will fail in the long run. There are countless examples of these out there. That’s why we will never stop experimenting nor will we ever stop innovating. I make sure that every idea from every employee is welcome granted it makes our customer’s experience more hassle-free and joyous.” The team of Homes247.in

follows very simple and organized strategies to make their clients satisfied by carefully analyzing the client’s needs and wants and by improving the existing service furthermore. The visionary says that innovation can be anything from something simple to complicated, as long as it is solving the complexity of the clients, it is good.

“Though we are relatively a new brand in the field, our ultimate aim to organize the industry and open the doors of future to real estate and make it more techfriendly is making a great impact and waves across the sector. I see that many of the developers and realtors are following our footsteps and are venturing more into tech and also are trying to bring out the customerfriendly side more into the limelight as compared to the earlier years. Many of the small-time realtors are even following our marketing campaigns and even our social media strategies to bring forth better results.”Priyatham Kumar. He further adds, “Definitely. I believe that there’s always room for growth. I always urge and push my team to learn and experiment. After all, without experimentation, we cannot reach anywhere right. I believe in the full potential of intentions.”

A SHINING PORTFOLIO

Due to serving the clientele with a great spirit and enthusiasm, the company has bagged multiple awards and has received recognition from a few shining and top-notch names in the corporate world. The venture has received the ‘Best Innovative Real Estate Website Award 2021’ from the Times Business Awards. They have also grabbed International Brand Equity’s Best Real Estate Portal, Silicon India’s Real Estate Portal of the Year, and many more. However, the team has a different spirit that they consider the client’s satisfaction as the real ward and focus more on their satisfaction only. No doubt, the future is as bright as the sun for the company. Our team anyway asked the leader to share his perception of the future and where he sees the company in the coming future, he replied by saying, “As a company, I believe

our journey is just started. As a prop-tech platform, we aim to develop tech that shall create an ecosystem where everything and anything related to homes will be tied to us. We seek to become a global organization and a household brand name just as the titans of the industry now. As entrepreneurship is getting more and more prominence every day in our country and many of our nation’s startups turning into unicorns and turning to IPOs gives a lot of hope for firms like us and inspires us to go the extra mile for the things we love to do.” 45

WORDS OF SAGACITY

Being a world-class leader and a zealous persona, Priyatham has inspired his team and many more young leaders in his ream. We also requested him to share some words of wisdom for our readers and all the budding leaders out there. Before signing off, Priyatham asserts, “Firstly, Leadership is a

choice and a very difficult one too. If anyone thinks leadership is nothing but a title to boss around people, then they are completely wrong. The path is very hard and is never all roses and petals. True Leadership is where you toil with your team and try to inspire them at every possible angle. Getting them to live out and do their best will give you the very best. Pressure and stress are part of every successful journey, and your role as a leader is to instill in your team the courage to withstand the pressure. No one else will understand the organization or your brand like the founder(s), but until and unless you make your team understand the ultimate aim of your organization, the organization will move towards stagnation. Also, Reading is great, but the lessons covered through one’s own life will outlast every bookish or theoretical knowledge. Every hindrance, every roadblock, and the troubles all test our willpower to succeed, hence till you give up, you are never lost, it’s a mere setback, like a momentary boost of adrenaline before the athlete rushes up in the final lap. Ultimately crafting your life is the greatest way you can inspire others.”

LIFESTYLE

Supreme Fashion Accessory Ashwathy Nair | Business Connect

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

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

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Issue 10 | May 2022 | INDIA

Here are some reasons why, before you head out the door, you’ll want to catch those shades:

PROTECT EYES FROM UV RAYS One of the most significant advantages of wearing sunglasses is that they shield the eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation and the fragile skin around them. Exposure to UV can lead to cataracts and cause glaucoma symptoms worse. Moreover, about to 10 per cent of skin cancers are found near the eyes. Choose glasses that cover the eyes entirely and make sure that they have 100 per cent UVA and UVB protection.

PROTECT EYES FROM GLARE Sunglasses not only let you see better when it’s light outside, but they also decrease the amount you need to squint by the cutting back on the sun. Squinting will lead to headaches, exhaustion and eye pressure, as well as the formation over time of fine lines in the skin around the eyes. When you squint, it’s also difficult to see clearly, which can lead to injuries, particularly when driving. Maximum glare safety is offered by polarized sunglasses. DARK ADAPTATION After you are exposed to intense sunshine, sunglasses allow you to refocus your vision. If you will not adapt for long stretches after being exposed to the sun, your night vision may be impaired. You’ll find it hard to see the road while you are riding at night. Riding becomes risky when you haven’t been wearing shades.

Some Top Sunglasses Brands RAY-BAN A debut back in the 1930s, the Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses made their airline flights more popular, and the legends of the era were pilots. The Italian-based company offer polarised lenses to shield the eyes from sunlight. In the 1980s, with the release of films such as “Top Gun” and “Risky Business,” these glasses gained attention.

MAUI JIM In the early 1980s, Maui Jim sunglasses made their debut at a hotel pool in Maui, Hawaii. By 1988, the mainland was just starting to see them. This sunglasses are built for males and females alike. Many of the models have polarised lenses of varying colours that shield against the sunshine glare.

VERSACE In 1978 Versace was started, this Italian fashion house made its debut in Milan, Italy. Versace sunglasses are known for their ornate, female-centred logo, and their wrap around and aviator styles are common. Much of the lenses are polarised to shield the eyes. Some women’s styles involve ornate and lavish details.

INCRUITER

A LEADER IN TECH-DRIVEN IAAS HIRING SOLUTIONS

Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect utting the right team together in a company has always been the key to its growth and success. Today, this has become doubly true because of the way most businesses run - through people. For this reason, companies - from the smallest start-up to the largest corporation, strive hard to hire the most suitable candidates to streamline their efficiency. But hiring the top talent for a company has proven to be a significant hurdle, especially if it means the company has to spend in-house resources on a task that can be done - and done better - by experts. InCruiter is the hiring solution all businesses have been searching for. They work closely with companies looking to find employees who can be the best fit for their roles. They do this via a technologically driven system that promotes IaaS, or Interview as a Service. Through this automated interview method, InCruiter boosts the recruitment process and helps its clients hire exactly the right talent without any loss of their own time, money, and energy. InCruiter been setting the benchmark for others in the IaaS niche with its exclusive offerings in bringing ease to the recruitment process. With SimpliExcel, a 3-Step interview process, they manage, assess, and conduct interviews with the best candidates in the market.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

InCruiter is a well-acclaimed IaaS based B2B platform, where technical screening services are offered to the clientele to bring ease to their hiring procedures. InCruiter is an enterprise that has strived to make the process as simple and swift as possible, where quality and efficient recruitment processes are the foremost priority.

Anil Agarwal CEO & Co-Founder

Their team of trained hiring professionals has made the screening and crowd recruiting process effortless. InCruiter’s unique service portfolio integrates over a thousand interviewers on a single platform. With a steadfast vision to become the top IaaS as a service platform in India, the enterprise has been working on different tech-oriented products. An example of this is a video interview platform with a feedback system that provides unbiased technical interviews of candidates.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

We sat down with the founder and CEO of InCruiter, Anil Agarwal. A freewheeling, insightful conversation followed, where Mr. Agarwal highlighted various aspects of the company’s business model, and revealed what makes the company work - and why. Outsourcing interviews have seen a shift in the recruitment scenario in India and across the world. With the help of third-party recruiters, companies have reaped both short and long-term benefits. With InCruiter’s expertise, companies within technical and non-technical domains can hire candidates with subject-specific skills and knowledge, who would not just fit seamlessly into the company, but also improve the workings of business operations.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Issue 10 | May 2022 | INDIA

For Anil, his company serves a dual purpose: one is helping firms hire talented individuals, and the other, is helping skilled job seekers get hired by firms with similar goals. There are many people with skills and degrees who slip through the traditional interview processes. Sometimes, it is due to their lack of experience with big companies; sometimes it’s because of interview mess-ups. Sometimes, companies themselves are biased against a set of job-seekers. For example, many organizations across the business community think that hiring freshers could be a risky avenue. The process is cumbersome and needs attention as freshers are not that productive during the initial months. InCruiter has always been an avid believer in ensuring a fair growth opportunity for graduates and postgraduates. The leadership team of the company says that freshers have a creative and innovative mindset that could be proved to be a great asset with proper training and guidance. Explaining the scenario in their own organization, Anil revealed that the freshers hired a few months ago have successfully led different teams at InCruiter.

FACILITATING CONVERSANT DECISION-MAKING

Anil explains how InCruiter allows hiring managers to make better decisions while testing candidates’ skills accurately and fairly. Though hiring supervisors are quite picky when it comes to recruitment, a collaborative process, transparency in the overall functioning can make a huge difference. “Especially in very technical fields, some hiring managers tend to have the opinion that it isn’t worth their time to share information or feedback with recruiters [...] because they won’t understand,” comments Anil. This is where Incruiter stands out. With a real-time feedback system, InCruiter’s interviewers are empowered to rate interviewees according to each of their mandatory and optional skillsets. This will help candidates understand why they weren’t taken on, and what they can do to improve themselves.

EXPERT PANEL OF INTERVIEWERS CAPABLE OF TECHNICAL, OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS Recruiters sometimes lack the technical knowledge needed to answer candidates’ questions using data-driven recruitment. “The

recruiting process can be improved and upgraded using recruitment data and metrics, which help in making more informed decisions,” asserts the CEO, concerning their insights into allowing better recruitment processes.

Additionally, it is not easy to always stay updated with the change in interview procedures and methods. Companies might find that their interview questions are quite dated, and this might lead them to miss out on perfect employees. This is especially true when hiring in the IT field, as most

Ritu Mathran Co-Founder hiring managers do not possess the experience to evaluate such candidates. Most businesses fail to understand that they need specialized interviewers if they are hiring for a specialized position. An interviewer from their HR team might not cut it. InCruiter, with its team of interviewing professionals, has the expertise to verify the candidates’ skillsets and analyze whether their problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking will suit the company they are applying to.

DIVERSIFICATION AND INNOVATION

Any organization needs to develop an unwavering commitment to improve and diversify its product and service portfolio for growth and better prospects. InCruiter stands firm on this notion. Diversification is driven by the company’s core strengths, where expert solutions to the client’s problems are searched by incessant innovation. While constantly evolving and improving the product design, the inclusion of new-age technologies to provide a seamless experience to their end clients is how they create excellence in their offerings. With proper training and investment in the employers’ aspirations, InCruiter innovates persistently while sticking to their core values by constantly ameliorating their products.

THE USPS

Adding value to a client’s business is what InCruiter is fixated on, and it has a specific roadmap for doing exactly this. By bridging the existing gap in the recruitment

industry, InCruiter will be accelerating the hiring process ten times faster.

emphasizes Anil.

“We

are an HR-Tech startup that uses the right technology to accomplish our goals. We are providing a solution to the lengthy procedures that companies have to go through to find the right resource,” affirms the luminary.

He believes in investing in his team members while recognizing their respective strengths and accomplishments, and avoids limiting his employees to their respective roles. Under his auspices, InCruiter fosters an optimistic work environment where everyone openly shares and accepts constructive feedback while taking credit for their contributions. From providing them with growth opportunities to ensuring appropriate rewards and recognition, the management strains every nerve to propel its employees towards a radiant future. And this, as Anil confirms, is also their wish for jobseekers looking for employment.

The company has introduced a tech-based comprehensive interview service and cuts the hassle of conducting the proper interviews as they take care of the entire process. As per the company’s claim, they have a swift and more efficient recruitment model that is exclusive in the market. Moreover, they rely upon a crowd staffing platform that increases the hiring process ten times faster and provides nextgen staffing solutions that reduce the client’s dependency on the hiring process to 50%.
