As it has become freezing cold outside, early sunsets and late sunrises are what people find a sheer aversion towards during this season. Such extreme seasonal changes make it hard to keep their spirits high. Thereby, we wish to ensure some seasonal cheers into your lives by welcoming you to our December’s outstanding read, when we all fervently await the dawn of New Year.

A ‘wintery read’ in the penultimate week of the year…

This exclusive issue is what you can consider a ‘wintery read’ where the seeping of innovation into the business objectives has been the focal point. For many businesses, innovation emerges from the immediate disruption in the workflow and this edition proves it sophisticatedly. Also, most of the success stories airing in the business space speak of the prominence of hard work, perseverance, and of course creativity to achieve the established goals. Inducing some transformative waves across the business landscape, many businesses are setting the benchmarks across their niche market with some extraordinary offerings.

Indeed, most successful individuals have one thing in common i.e. creativity- oriented outlook. Who doesn’t know that creative heads had been ruling the world since time immemorial? Don’t we know that in the history of mankind the most daring plunge has come from the demiurgic minds only? As most of the leaders across the world have always accentuated the significance of thinking out-of-the-box for the evolution of the world. For this exceptional edition, we have depicted the vignette of iNeuron on the cover page. Basking in the glory of success, iNeuron has been altering the present scenario across the education industry. To take a deeper dive into the outstanding offering of the company, we sat down for a virtual meet with the founder- Sudhanshu Kumar who is guiding the way of the company as the CEO. Driven by thought leadership and exemplary insights into the industry, he is taking major leaps in the direction of phenomenal growth. We avidly believe that the ingenious streak portrayed by the company will serve a ‘big-wheel’ dose of motivation to our global readership.

“Education as-a Service” You ask we provide.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

ime is constantly changing and so is technology. By the time one starts to learn a particular technological development or related course, the person realizes that the technologies are also advancing at a rapid pace. Talking about advanced technology such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Drone Technology, SelfDriving cars, Health care predictions and many more, doesn’t have any barrier and advancement is so rapid that maintaining pace with self-update is essential. But for obvious, if not aligned with newer advancements, one will lag behind and for sure time would leave them. They would find themselves obsolete concerning technologies in no time.

to seamlessly transition into the industry, since iNeuron focuses on creating job-ready candidates. With a mission to ramp up an industry-ready workforce providing real-time experience in advance development, iNeuron is coming up with an Innovation Lab that could be used to conduct experiments, promote R&D and incubate ideas of students who generally lack the resources required to do so. The vision and mission are to help candidates and visionaries who lack exposure to advance development requirements and industry expertise. LET US KNOW INEURON MORESNAPSHOT OF INEURON iNeuron is a well-established name in the community as a quality online education provider as well as a productdriven organization working on state-of-the-art projects both for domestic and international clients. The expertise in product development tends the company to help the community and aspiring students looking to get advanced research-based learnings such as Computer Vision, Deep Learning, NLP, Auto ML, and Machine Learning along with industry graded knowledge in warehousing, security, surveillance, healthcare, e-commerce, telecommunication and inventory management. The organization’s educational training division caters to affordable, high quality and research paper-based AI education in Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and NLP in addition to big data & cloud computing provided along with practical knowledge via live projects.

“By the time we get to the 2040s, we’ll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that’s singular. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter”, this has been wonderfully quoted by American inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil. And, the quote refers to the above too. All these together are assisted by and it is ensured that information and knowledge reach the learners. Among these are the organizations which provide online education and one of them is iNeuron. They strongly believe mere education is not enough but Industry-specific practical education is the only way to get the workforce ready. In a nutshell, the company aims at quenching the knowledge thirst of the people through its platform with a primary focus on practical implementation enabling the candidate

THE IDEA BEHIND INEURON Sudhanshu Kumar, Founder & CEO, iNeuron shares his beliefs along with the plans for the near future. The visionary says, “The idea behind starting the company was to make education affordable and practical, whether it’s technical or non-technical education, we always wanted to make things affordable for all. At the same point, high-quality content directly benefiting to learners. We have been trying to build all the tech and non-tech modules in such a way that it is going to help learners without paying a premium price even for advanced level of courses. So, whoever is going to take our classes or join courses, any kind of program, whether its college students or professionals or even a person willing to make a transition into a certain industry, is benefitted.” He adds, “The whole idea here was not to just teach them and leave to find the way of utilising learning experience but we handhold them and provide real industrygrade development learning and exposure so they could build and develop confidence. When they go for an interview or a transition, they see the difference. The fact could not be ignored that both the above would always require their knowledge gained during work or some sort of experience.”

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

Sudhanshu later states that unless and until someone is getting their hands dirty in real-time experiencing working with industry grade projects, it would not solve the purpose during the interview or transition. Learning alone would not help.

ACCORDING TO CEO INEURON, “We are trying to offer different programs- Be it Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or any other. What we have figured out is that the candidate always looks for hand-holding. Hand-holding here refers to the student or professional requiring someone for clarification of doubts and guidance. This can happen anytime including night hours and if s/he gets someone to clarify their query, interest is not lost and the person wants to cover it as soon as possible and moves towards implementation. This kind of learning was not available in the market so far. We have started these types of facilities and the courses at an affordable price, whereas these services are costing Rs. 3 to 5 lakhs in the market. We provide within the same bracket and for just Rs. 3000, that too with super facilities. ”

EDUCATION It is evident if the person or team started a project from scratch, they are the best mentors to speak about that project. Similarly, unless a person does not involve himself directly in product development till deployment it’s not possible to get the correct sense, skills or expertise which the industry demand. iNeuron talks about expertise all the time with every student and works towards that motive only. 13

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

FEATURES: iNeuron education is unique because of its offerings and features, As said by Krish Naik “We don’t count when it comes to the benefit of learners. We have a strong team to support our learners, which means at any time support team is ready to resolve the issue then and there. We are coming up with an “Education As-a-Service” platform called “One Neuron” ready to revolutionize the entire learning industry. The details are out soon and will be made public by mid of December. Sudhanshu also said that “One Neuron” platform is full of features and actual learning control is given to students/ learners that means we honour students demand whether ask is for the topic explanation, doubt clearing, query resolution even can ask for the new course or project. Learners can also raise a request to work with us and experience the development in real-time. He also added that we handhold the person for their resume preparation and set up a mock interview session with the candidate. Allinclusive of purchasing ‘One Neuron’.” An open internship portal could also be witnessed with participation in 570+ projects. These could be research projects, basic projects, development projects as per the industry standards.

It would be ensured that the lab is made available for the public free of cost and around 1000 people could work together. This would be under ‘Education as a service.’

SERVING COMMUNITY iNeuron has a mission to empower every student with knowledge without any discrimination. Many courses are made available for the public without any charges. Sudhanshu said that “iNeuron does not ask for fees for the internship. Interns are assisted and more than 1.5 lakhs have been engaged in the same. In totality, over 35966 enrolments are done”. The company claims to be seeing multi-thousand transitions and placements in around two years.

YOU ASK WE PROVIDE Sudhanshu acclaims, “Suppose if one is willing to understand about a project and in due course, new technology enters in the market which is not made available easily. We are going to treat the person as a client and pay merely 5 to 6K, the demand would be executed i.e. made available. That too within 60 days of the period since the demand was raised. This is a simple concept with multi-facilities.”

Placements, as well as transitions, have been witnessed in India, the USA, the UK, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, etc. This is meant for college students and people doing research.

CHALLENGES FACED BY LEARNERS The very first thing is that many learners are not aware of the direction. They just don’t know what to do in terms of transition etc. On the other hand, some of them are in a dilemma whether it is possible or not. The major challenge is once they start, they are not aware of the transition where exactly they have to go. As a result, they fail in interviews because those interviews always focused on what work experience, they have and not a learning-based career.

Education is where you need to connect with the team especially since the tech industry requires a direct connection. iNeuron talks about the solutions, it provides to support every stage of the growth of the people (students or professionals). INNOVATION LAB FOR THE PUBLIC Sudhanshu informs, “Within a span of two to three months, a public innovation lab will be opened for the people. Currently, it is only for internal employees. Initially, it will be started in our head office Bangalore. People could come and they could experiment. Whether Cyber security, Artificial Intelligence, Drone technology, if individuals want to conduct experiments in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, these kinds of equipment or labs would not be available at other places. Seeing this, we are creating this kind of lab for the public.”

iNeuron provides them not just one but multi-level of support, Holistic Approach Sudhanshu states, “We don’t develop a particular skill of the learner because that wouldn’t help in a particular interview, instead we always try to build a person as a complete person who could talk about each and everything. For example, communication, designing.”

Sudhanshu adds that they want to create more and more engineers. Keeping this in mind, they would be making everything available in the lab because they believe engineering doesn’t mean one has to keep studying the books. There is some other meaning added to it which implies finding out or developing something. For example, if one has to make a self-driven car, the person needs proper engineering labs, innovation labs, research person, proper equipment, and infrastructure. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

R&D Sudhanshu believes that any company on earth can’t survive without continuous improvement and enhancing capabilities. He asserts, “Things are changing fast, and if I try to follow the same thing which I was practising ten years back, failure is certain because the technology has already evolved. A capable engineer has to adopt, do their own research and innovations.” 14

MARKETING We at iNeuron believe in creating values in the life of our clients and customers. Speaking with us Sales and Marketing head Mr Darius said that iNeuron moves apart from traditional methods of lead generation which is generally a paid medium and focuses on first showcasing its true potential to its customers by providing them free content and community sessions at the companies cost.

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS The major achievements of iNeuron incorporate research & development which has been performed a lot, adopted new trends hugely, and got AICTE –approval for BTech and MTech courses. Tie-ups with colleges have been done. The company is moving ahead, being aware of the vigorous competition. Among the USPs is providing education in a completely different manner.

This further builds the trust factor amongst its customers and directly impacts their life even before they start their journey with iNeuron.

REVOLUTIONIZING THE EDUCATION SECTOR i-Neuron does not believe in just e-learning but revolutionizing the entire education sector. The traditional method of learning and acquiring knowledge would be completely changed to save time. For example, instead of just a four-year degree course in engineering, it would be ensured that they acquire experience and skills.

TARGET AUDIENCE For iNeuron, anyone from the education sector from a college student to a research student comes under the target audience.

BIGGEST LEARNING The confident CEO says, “It’s a journey, where you learn on a daily and continuous basis. Now we learn things from experiences and customers, market, perspectives, and pain points.”

As far as the development aspect is concerned, agriculture, warehousing, healthcare, industries, hospitals, office (surveillance), etc. are the target audiences. ABOUT THE FOUNDER The 2014- pass out has done his PG Diploma in Statistics. Sudhanshu’s first company where he worked, was Wipro. He says, “The need of the market and the gap are to be understood. I did all the required research and work and then I am here for 1.5 years with iNeuron.”

MESSAGE TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS The luminary advises, “It takes nothing to call yourself a Founder or CEO post the start of a company. You should ensure that you have done adequate homework before running a company. The homework consists of proper involvement including research day and night, financial planning, and then the team. You should not forget it is the people who build the organization.”

Sudhanshu explains, “As far as leadership skills are concerned, it simply takes nothing to name yourself and you do not need skills also. On the other hand, the actual challenges come when you start a thing, alone u could not! You need a marketing and support team. You have to be most updated with what is happening around in terms of technology.”

Further, Sudhanshu talks about the product that no one would buy it however good it is. He believes, “Entrepreneurship is not a 9 to 6-job. Hard work and intellect are going to fulfil the demand of the market.” Mentioning PPT as briefed earlier, he says ‘Person, People, and Team’, he explains, “Think of the people whom you are trying to provide something. Think from the other side. Firstly, Person refers to an individual who is to provide offerings, then the People, and lastly, the Team which would be having those who are there to assist and work together.”

WORK CULTURE According to Sudhanshu, “We are a start-up and have given various facilities to our staff members. Be it a junior developer or senior one, their ideas are most welcome. More preference is given to good suggestions than a degree.”

DESIGNEX

The Book of Customer centricity in the Indian Market

AN ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGNING VENTURE BASED ON EXCELLENCE Gulshan Parveen | Business Connect

ANAND KULKARNI & ASHISH KULKARNI Both are:- PRINCIPAL ARCHITECTS

The team of Business Connect welcomes the global readership of our magazine with an exclusive and zealous story of a leading business venture-DESIGNEX-Architects & Interior Designers. The company is not just an architect and interior designing organization but is a leader in the arena of the respective niche. DESIGNEX was conceptualized in the year 2010 under the stewardship of Anand Kulkarni with the sole purpose to fill the gap he witnessed in the realm. Before diving right into the ocean of DESIGNEX’s portfolio and business operations, let us spill the beans of its inception journey.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

In 1976, Anand and his team of enthusiasts build a business venture named Anand Kulkarni & Associates in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. He was managing this venture with a few exceptional architects in his group by handling two more joint ventures simultaneously in Kolhapur itself. Bu the visionary was well-aware of the fact that having expertise in the arena of architecture is more than important and for this, he had to practice his skills for a period as ‘expertise comes from practice’.

firm in the creative design solutions that fulfill the needs of our clientele.” He further adds that the company is the result of a wonderful blend of knowledge and experience of both leaders. And already dealing with giant projects, the company is surely going to leave its footmarks in the industry shortly. CLIENT CONTENTMENT IS THE KEY The visionaries explained that clients are the most crucial and prime priority for the organization-hence they focus on customer contentment as the most important core value.

During the initial days of his entrepreneurial journey, he focused on residential projects intending to scale up in the future. Soon his portfolio began to fill with numerous large projects by global giants, and in the end, he gained a professional offer from a large council-where he devoted a decade of his career in polishing his skills with the successful application of his existing knowledge. But the enthusiastic entrepreneur in him was keen to learn more and explore more so, he decided to devote his prime focus on his venture.

Ashish states, “Design is the reason we do what we do, but we never practice architecture as a service to ourselves. We owe our success to an unrelenting focus on client services and client satisfaction. For us, design is of utmost importance, and we have a unique style that we advocate. We keep an eye over our satisfied clients as they act as marketing mean and prove us more potential clients.”

The year 2005 was a turning point in the career of Anand when his son Ashish came as an energetic persona to complete the entrepreneurial journey of Anand with his fresh talent and newly equipped knowledge. Being a graduate in Architecture, Ashish was filled with robust determination to follow in his father’s footsteps and started practicing in the venture. Soon he realized that to overcome the cut-throat competition in the market, again in the international experience is a must. So, he moved to Dubai to flaunt his expertise there for two years and later completed his Masters’s in Architecture from Spain. And that was the moment, Anand saw a potential business partner and a determined business leader in Ashish as he offered the proposal of establishing the brand-DESIGNEX in 2010.

GROWTH

Whilst commencing any work we are in the startup phase. Countless inputs and efforts are invested to take the voyage from the Initial phase to the Growth phase. Similarly, in the business world, numerous efforts are required to just start the business. The building of clientele and winning the trust of clients over the products and services. The financial requirement is the aid through which a business empire can be built. In this phase, the entrepreneurs and the employees ought to sit together for taking collaborative decisions. When the company or business starts picking up the pace, a sense of confidence is developed. A little stability and growth are seen whilst moving from the start-up to the growth zone. There are several attributes, which we need to keep in mind:

Delegation of responsibilities: When the business is growing then it becomes quintessential for everyone to be more responsible. So, upper-level management ought to delegate responsibilities to the workforce. During the startup phase, the company has figured out the best talent, the skills of the employees, and the employees who need a push. During the growth phase, each employee now needs to be responsible and delegated with more responsibilities. This is done in order to make them feel more independent and decisive. Efficient Management: A proper management needs to be formed during this stage. It’s because during the starting phase everything was haphazard; no systematic process was there. Gradually, when the company starts to progress towards the growing phase then it becomes essential to manage the people. A proper hierarchical management ought to be formed, which will simplify the work and reduces the responsibility of CEO’s and other top level managers. If a proper management is not there at different levels then no proper and efficient execution of work can happen. People who are working since the start of the company need to be delegated with some senior level authorities so that they feel a sense of importance. It’s indispensable to hire HR’s and other upper level managers as the number of employees are increasing. It becomes ultra-important to track the performance of each employee, their strengths and weaknesses, appreciating and rewarding schemes, their support system, problems, and how to motivate them to move ahead in the organization. Additionally, for the deserving employees, organizing a multitude of promotional strategies so that they can lead the people efficiently and smartly. For the employees who are slow in their progress, try to lend a helping hand to them. The sound management system plays an indispensable role in the growth and progress of the organization.

HOW TO REACH THE GROWTH PHASE FROM THE

STARTUP PHASE www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

If the data is not recorded well and left unorganized then the ambiguity will be caused, which would definitely going to hamper the operations of the company.

Data: At the initial stage, the number of employees is less, the clientele is also not very vast, so there is no requirement to organize the data in the records; this can be done manually. During the growing phase, the dimensions of the company is expanding so it becomes quite necessary to maintain the data records related to multiple works in the system. Companies ought to hire data analysts and administrators to carry the process forward. Now, everything needs to be recorded in the tabular format so that data can be fetched easily, and the work can be completed on time. Maintenance of log records, number of projects allocated to employees, dates of deadlines, delivery dates, etc. need a cognizance and ought to be properly recorded. Therefore, now the employees should be proficient in data handling and management.

Management of Employees: As the organization is growing, the number of employees is multiplying. So, it’s required to effectively manage the employees. As there are many old employees associated with the company, and also there is an entry of fresh employees, in this case it becomes essential to guide the old employees to synchronize and adapt with the freshly recruited team. The other point is the opportunities; every employee works for the growth so it’s the responsibility of the upper level management to take care of their growth and development. There are many policies related to employees, which require an attention. Increment polices, to make sure whether the employees are ethical towards organization, their problems, how to make them independent, etc. managers need to look at all these. To cross the growth phase and move towards the stability stage, persistent efforts in the direction of making each employee independent and efficient becomes the key.

THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE BRAND

GOELD’S vision to establish a stellular presence in the Indian economy is supervised by Mr. Archit Goel (Director), a leader who steps into the big stage and comes to grips front on. He is a growth specialist and defines leadership as a paradigm of responsibility as an individual and professional. He has been with Shri Balaji Alliance for nearly a decade and has been functioning as the director since last year. So, what motivates him to lead? The chance to contribute majorly to a game-changing industry that will alter global eating habits and choices. The pandemic has pushed the tipping point forward by a few years. And food manufacture is an arduous task, as the quality and nature of food determine the health of future generations. Challenges frighten him less, and he bets on collective wisdom to overcome them. “A strong team gives you the confidence to surpass issues that hurdles a business,” he states. For him, businesses without challenges are non-existent. He and his team are constantly battling to ensure that consumers and clients receive only the best. He wants to emphasise the benefits of frozen foods, which are quick and easy to prepare. Instilled with this ambitious endeavour, GOELD is on track to become a preferred choice in every Indian household’s refrigerator for any meal occasion. Archit also puts his heart and soul into building his team. He encourages brainstorming, followed by result-oriented action plans that overpower roadblocks. The team is kept motivated at all times, and their opinions are taken into account, resulting in a stronger team. “We are a team without superstars. Hence the team wins and not individuals,” adds Archit.

Mr. Archit Goel (Director)

GOELD: SET TO PIONEER THE INDIAN FROZEN FOOD MARKET

There is a famous saying, “Good food is the foundation of hygiene and happiness.” However, in today’s world, food quality is determined by its impact on health, sustainability, techenabled transparency, packaging, natural flavours, and environmental impact. The transgressions of COVID-19 have altered our eating habits, but not the importance of good food. In this vein, frozen meals, in particular, have a powerful influence on the food business, particularly in India. A notable stimulator of this presence has been GOELD, a new frozen food brand. With its distinctive motto, “Swad Ka Sunehra Rang,” the brand is contributing to the frozen food market’s explosive growth while also establishing a global presence.

SETTING STANDARDS IN FROZEN FOODS

GOELD was founded under Shri. Bajrang Alliance Ltd., an illustrious venture of the GOEL Group - a globally recognized conglomerate in mining, iron & steel, power, education, and media. Just like its other ventures, GOELD contributes to the group’s ideals, particularly in terms of quality and customer satisfaction. Its stronghold stands on pillars of technology leadership, infrastructure superiority, customer trust & goodwill and qualified human capital. GOELD manufactures its products in a 100% vegetarian kitchen equipped with advanced refrigeration technology to preserve all nutrients, tastes, and texture. It sources raw ingredients from company-owned farms and innovative cold chains & storage facilities. Its food preparation experts combine ingredients and assure each product excels in quality, taste and variety. In addition to GOELD, Shri. Bajrang Alliance is a prominent advisor to multiple brands growing under its banner. Needless to say, the amalgamation of the 4 pillars are evident across the businesses it harbors. Its products and solutions are testimony to these 4 business mantras of the group.

R&D: WHERE THE MIRACLESHAPPEN

GOELD stands strong against all the industry’s hurdles and intricacies with a team of R&D

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

specialists. The team consists of Doctorates and M. Tech (Food Technology) specialists geared to scientifically developing products. This is vital to sustaining rigorous quality, safety, and cleanliness during these trying pandemic times. It has an in-house R&D lab equipped with the latest equipment, like GCMS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry), HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), Water Activity Meter, Moisture Analyzer, etc. “Quality is a top priority for us, and it is monitored from the time raw materials are received until the product is delivered to our channel partners,” explains Archit. Multiple levels and checkpoints are used to evaluate the product’s quality, safety, and hygiene. They recently introduced the GOELD LachhaParatha, a mouthful for customers. The R&D team is working on a number of intriguing products that will no doubt excite customers once they are released.

NAVIGATING CREATIVELY THROUGH COVID-19

Having an innovative spirit, GOELD infuses creativity into all of its endeavours. Having taken cautious steps during COVID-19, it made sure that employees’ salaries and safety were not jeopardized. Even now, GOELD compensates its employees for taking COVID tests and vaccination. Also, it values compassion and cooperation, and knowing how trying these times can be, everyone is looking out for one another. “Our employees even contributed to a COVID Relief Fund that was donated to the government by our parent firm,” adds Archit proudly. On the other hand, while investing in R&D to build customer satisfaction, it built a ‘Health Bubble’ within the factory and marketing offices. This quadrupled its production twice as fast as the competition. As the markets opened, it calibrated its operations and now is one first to reach retail shelves and popular online retail platforms.

THE TRUE CHAMPIONS OF THE SUCCESS STORY

While resources and processes aid in setting benchmarks, a company’s ethos and beliefs form an appealing culture. GOELD has a favourable atmosphere centred on the team and is transparent about responsibilities and resolving conflicts–This ensures their long-term orientation. Everyone challenges existing ways to foray into robust business opportunities. This requires both cerebral and physical rigour; and GOELD has an abundance of both in its team. The team lives to fructify its collective dream of being a leading brand on the subcontinent; and, subsequently, be a formidable force in global food retail.

CONTRIBUTING TO SOCIETY

“Sustainability is the key to understanding the future.” GOELD, as an organization, adheres to this to the letter. It focuses on community development and improvement, ensuring a healthier lifestyle for future generations. It engages in CSR initiatives focused on health and wellness, along with education and skill development. “We focus on need-based CSR activities in surrounding areas, primarily to prevent duplication of government-sponsored initiatives,” asserts Archit. GOELD’s social efforts have earned it a special place in the community, and village panchayats are constantly encouraging it to do more.

A LOT TO BE PROUD FOR

While GOELD has grown amid chaos, its groundwork for frozen foods and allied food business started almost half a decade back. Leaving no stone unturned, GOELD has successfully established Shri Bajrang Alliance in FMCG, foods & allied businesses. In only its first year, GOELD has received multiple awards for its consistency in driving change and pursuing leadership roles: • India’s Most Admirable Brand by “The Brand Story” • Best Frozen Food Brand of the Year by the Food Connoisseurs India Convention • Fastest Growing Brand at the Asia One Awards • Best Veg Frozen Food Brand by the Right Choice Awards • Certified with Highest Rating by BRC, FSSC, and ISO within the first year of Operations. These milestones speak for the team’s motivation and operational abilities. Nevertheless, they are committed to surpassing these milestones, and earning new and powerful ones. By 2026, GOELD wants to ensure that every Indian household has at least one of its products. By that time, it hopes to have established its ‘Service-driven’ business model, including standalone storefronts for its fantastic range and entire meal alternatives such as supper and takeout.

LESSONS FOR LIFE

“Select a path you love. Be it a business or a product. Dream big, but stay grounded. Also, don’t forget to have fun in your entrepreneurial quest, and surround yourself with like-minded people. Because it’s always more fun to celebrate your success with people you enjoy being around.”

-Archit Goel 31

For peace and calmness, a sort of rejuvenation is required. The methods can be different or varied person-to-person, but the purpose is the same. Mostly biggies or business tycoons are engaged in one or more kinds of recreational activities to create a symphony between professional and personal life.

Creativity- Undoubtedly,

developing a hobby will correspondingly enhance creativity. For example, if you like to read then reading various genres will tremendously increases thy imagination and creativity. I have seen people at great positions, who have a habit of reading for one or two hours before going to bed. Their thought process becomes quite distinctive from others. They develop an out-of-the-box thinking approach. Hence, entrepreneurs in critical situations or making an important decision will utilize their creative approach.

Boost up the Concentration level- When we give our

conscious attention to an activity then there are least chances to get diverted so it’s simply amazing to tie yourself with your favorite activity for some time in a day or week. For example, swimming for one hour in a day will reduce the stress level to a great extent, and pushes your brain to focus on the activity. This automatically boosts attention level and helps you to do your day to day work with more finesse and cognizance.

Dealing with daily stress of deadlines in office or goal to be achieved, the persons needs methods for detoxification. Switching off from the usual routine, it’s quite essential to engage yourself with a hobby.

Benefits your Health- When you do any fun-filled activity then it will surely make cells of your body rejoice. This, in turn, provides a great health benefits. For example, if your hobby is to play football then for the obvious reasons, it helps to stretch your muscles and releases all tension. It will keep you physically as well as mentally fit. From such a hectic slot hobby is a portal through which you can explore and be fit.

For example, dancing is an activity that touches your heart and you genuinely like to give precious time to it. It releases a lot of endorphins and increases the levels of serotonin. Thereby our day to day stress is reduced to a great extent. Psychotherapists recommend people to develop hobbies, which decrease the anxieties and tension, and this helps people to live a stress-free life.

More Happiness to Life- Hobbies add a newer perspective to life. They help to reduce the anxieties, and add more years to life.

sales process and systems for the smooth functioning of their business.

So far, the company has been helping SMEs with better implementation, validation and accountability.

Manoj has listed down the pain points and has started working on them. He comprehended that the owners are the ones involved in the day-to-day firefighting of business. They do not have the time to think about the business and grow. Jumping from one crisis to another. They are the supreme executioners and are involved in getting sales, going behind outstanding dues, production & procurement of raw material, inventory management. No building systems and processes. Far from technology!

SMEs do not perform any kind of marketing activities to generate leads for their sales. They are more dependent on referrals and word of mouth publicity. No HR, no policies framework. They do not put enough time, effort and money to build the right team. No Performance management structure, no reward & recognition culture, and no one celebrate progress.

VISION, MISSION AND CORE VALUES • •

•

Vision- By March 2022, Business transformation case study of 50 SMEs. Mission- Transformation of not only business owners but their employees also.

He keeps them in action mode to implement what they learn while equipping them with new skills, knowledge and strategies. To sum it up, Manoj has given SMEs three mantras to work towards excellence - Clarity, Competence & Culture.

SCENARIO OF START-UPS

Manoj says, “India had the third-largest start-ups market in 2020 behind US and China. Our start-up ecosystem is still a hot market for private equity and venture capital. With India pushing towards a knowledge-based digital economy, start-ups have an extremely great future. India is an under-penetrated market as far as start-ups are concerned. Since India is looking forward to $ 5 trillion economies by 2025, we must encourage startups as they can play a pivotal role in shaping India’s economy.”

FUTURE ENDEAVOUR

MANCOM ConsulTECH wants to be the one-stop solution for SMEs. Be it sales, Finance, HR, Inventory, Production, Customer Service, B2B connecting buyers and suppliers through tech Serving, etc., Manoj envisages that SMEs should be looking at the bigger picture of growth and start competing with big companies.

ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY

“It’s important to have a purpose in life, I find my purpose to serve SMEs,” says Manoj.

WORDS OF WISDOM

“Firstly, one needs to have a purpose. Anybody who has a purpose will surely flourish in entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur also means you are helping society in many ways. I firmly believe serving is the best religion.” My core values as a servant leader remain firm.

After interviewing 400 SMEs he understood Sales & identifying the manpower for the organisation as the biggest challenge. This is where I come into the picture. I help SMEs right from identifying the talent to set up a strong 37

NEERAJ BHATNAGAR Founder & Managing Partner

A Rousing Leader Behind A Leading Venture

Gulshan Parveen | Business Connect “Powerful people make places powerful”, 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. NEERAJ BHATNAGAR, Founder & Managing Partner, Super Traders, is an ideal example of strong will and dedication. His endeavor to Super Traders from a barrage of challenges and the heights of glory is a story worth telling. His efforts have tethered diverse staffing challenges, and now a global leader for holistic workforce 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, Neeraj unveils several aspects of the organization that gave us some food for thought that we believe will also fascinate our readers! Born in Kalagarh, UP, Neeraj is a great and passionate leader who acts as a powerhouse for the team throughout the organization. Being a ‘Passionpreneur’, he never wanted to do a job rather was planning to create his empire since his childhood. During the initial days, his family’s financial condition was miserable that made him dive into various fields, including poultry farming, contractor, electronics repairing, etc. back in 1995, he collaborated with his brother and created a start-up of electronics named Super Tech Electronics for the distribution and retail in the district. In 2017, he witnessed a varied number of changes and improvement gaps throughout the organization that was next to impossible to fill by staying there. He decided to separate his path and initiated a tremendous venture-Super Traders. He considered the organization as the only importance in his career, and the only reason behind the tremendous growth of the same is the exceptional leadership of Neeraj. While interacting with our team, Neeraj affirms, “In our case of success, we were just working upon our process, expanding them and making them better every single day. We have never seen success in terms of profit gains.” He further mentions that there are a lot of definitions for success, but the most basic one is when you www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition December 2021 INDIA

don’t have to take loans from others and pay rent to others that mean you have touched the basic level of success. EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP STYLE Entrepreneurship is not a destination but a journey; not only measured by revenue but, also the number of satisfied clients across the globe. Over the last two decades, India has seen the growth of many notable innovators, whose inventions generated a great impact in society and also elevated the country’s name on the globe. Discussing entrepreneurship, we just cannot ignore one of the most crucial skills of entrepreneurs-leadership. When our team asked Neeraj about his perception of the same, he explained by saying, “Having good leadership is very important for the business, and at Super Traders, we understand this phenomenon very well. For this, we have installed a proper series of systems and policies that act as guidelines to the down chain helping them perform their jobs most efficiently and effectively. Also, having one-track mind helps us in making business and the sole priority of our life. We’re completely focused upon our brand, and for us, other things come after that only.” Throughout the conversation, Neeraj reveals that there have been many setbacks in his business life. There was a point in life when he witnessed numerous giants stepping back from the industry, and several companies even closed their operation with Super Traders for varied reasons. But, as mentioned earlier, Leaders do not change their life’s decisions by getting influenced by external obstacles. We all have heard the statement that leaders are born, not made-but being only a leader doesn’t help in overcoming various challenges and obstacles that come across the way of a successful leader. And for that, vision is a vital ingredient. Neeraj affirms that a visionary leader knows how to manage various events that are about to come in the upcoming business environment.

has dedicatedly contributed its efforts in building its brand name in the market that adds as a differentiating factor for the organization throughout the industry.

“When we have performed a certain business for more than 25 years then the clientele and trade networks hold various expectations. So, we must meet their expectations with our utmost brilliant performance and serve them with the best quality products. Moreover, we keep on diversifying our market space and operations.” Neeraj further affirms Mentioning his mission for the company, Neeraj states that it’s important to have a valid and feasible mission in the business to scale the success leader. His mission is to create great working relationships with his network and clients, increase the debt lending capacity of the company, and maintain more cycles of funds. The company is relentlessly growing in the field intending to increase the dealer & retail chain network. Empire built on tech-driven innovation The Super Traders team has the perception that technology is a crucial factor for business, especially in the power electronics realm where technology is taken as the main ingredient. The team applies the new and emerging technologies in the company in a very conscious manner. Also, most of the systems throughout the organization are technically sound, and recently they have introduced warehouse management software that can manage all major operations. The company perceives innovation as an important aspect of the business as expanding the market shares while

having a differentiating factor can act as an attracting force to the people. The team has a robust belief that studying and analyzing the competition in the market is vital to identify the flows that can become a USP for the organization. Neeraj states, “Throughout the history of Super Traders, research has played a key role; it helped us in analyzing what market is demanding and what we’re providing. This is because it doesn’t matter how much your product is qualified, if it’s not acceptable in the market and not creating transactions then it’s surely useless.” FUTURE MASTER-PLAN The future for the company is dazzling, bold, and lucrative for sure. The team is heading forward with optimism to secure the position of a leading power electronics organization throughout the market. The team says that keeping an eye on finance is very crucial for the healthy growth of the company as utilization of funds efficiently and effectively gives an advantage to the organization itself. In addition, they are planning to increase the quality manpower, focus on high-quality solar projects, diversify the existing product range, and provide the clientele with a hassle-free trading experience. Highlighting the bright future of the organization, Neeraj informs us that there is numerous govt. projects that are in line with the company and there trying to bring their prime focus on them first. Apart from that, they’re planning to put their efforts into lithium-loanbased batteries in the future that will be even more environmentally friendly and compact. Before signing off, Neeraj, by reminiscing upon his entrepreneurial venture, would like to advise the burgeoning entrepreneurs, “Patience is the crucial virtue for the entrepreneurs. One must have faith in oneself, and never let your spirits be lowered in any circumstances, especially in the current scenario when the business world is facing most of the adversity, we must ensure to work harder than before with utmost dedication.”

SUPER TRADERS: REDEFINING THE POWER ELECTRONICS ARENA Conceptualized in 2004 under the guidance of Neeraj, the company is leading the realm with its excellent products range, including Solar Systems, Solar Panels, Inverters, Batteries, etc. Talking about the USPs of the organization, the founder informs that the company has never been profit-centric since its inception.

The virtual employees of the company not only help them to bring the best tool on board for their businesses and their daily activities but have helped them make them more advanced and tech-savvy.
