Editor’s Note
“TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST, BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.” - ROBERT H. SCHULLER In the present corporate world, entrepreneurship undoubtedly surpasses the lifestyle of service personnel.

ITES AND BPO COMPANY AN ENTREPRENEURIAL INSPIRATION
Call2Connect is an ITES and BPO company established by the seasoned innovator and serial entrepreneur, Mr Anil Sinha. With his passion for creating something new out of the existing and his skill for taking calculated, meaningful risks, he made a name for himself in the banking sector. Credit Cards that come with an inbuilt revolving credit facility, are a gift to the banking sector. None other than Mr Sinha’s initiatives made this possible in the banking industry in India. Being an inherent risk-taker, he led the way for Bank of Baroda, the bank he was then employed in, to become the first in India to launch the credit card namely ‘BOB Card’. BOB Card became an instant success for the merchant base as well as for the bank itself--but that took extraordinary efforts from Mr Sinha’s side being ahead of his times is what helped Mr Sinha create his own legacy.

A mind like that, combined with a zeal to work on, could not prevent Mr. Sinha from resigning from Bank of Baroda at the age of 44, even though by that age he had achieved everything there was to achieve in the banking sector to take the bigger challenge, even though risky. An innovator that he was, entrepreneurship was never very far away from his mind. He had already been working with the idea of a revenue model based on “pay as you use” policy, that automated card transactions electronically through the wire using the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) machine, when he was approached by a major business house for any business ideas that he might have. His proposal was accepted instantly, but diving into the ever-shifting entrepreneurial field was a huge risk--more so for the fact that he would have to quit his secure, settled life in the public sector service industry. It was a major leap of faith that he made, with the support of his wife and her trust in his abilities. As a result, Transaction Technologies Pvt Ltd was founded on March 15th, 1996. It was later renamed as Venture Infotek Global. He went on to introduce several landmark pertaining to technological fronts for the Indian Payment Industry over the years. He also reinstated several subsidiary companies under the parenthood of Venture InfoTeck After writing several milestones to his name, from BOB Card to Venture Infotek, each more successful than the other, Mr Sinha established Call2Connect. His unparalleled success and experience meant there would be no shortage of investors for his enterprise, and Call2Connect proved this estimation true.
CALL 2 CONNECT: A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE Call2Connect was inaugurated as a training institute for the call centre in December 2003, at Kadamkuan, Patna. The decision behind establishing a training institute in Bihar was a rather altruistic one on Mr Sinha’s part. He decided to launch Call2Connect in Patna to bring business and prosperity to the state. It was an attempt to generate much-needed employment opportunities for the youth in Patna, and it proved to be a vastly successful one. The decision was initially questioned by many, because of the detrimental state of law and order and economy in the state. Anil Sinha started Call2Connect to train individuals at his institution, and they were free to look for call Centre jobs elsewhere after their training. They were, however, guaranteed a job at the Delhi branch of Call2Connect after finishing their training. He established a branch at Delhi, after Patna, to be able to fulfil this promise, where he secured his first client. The Patna centre was eventually converted into a full-fledged call centre, to generate employment in Bihar itself. This move led to him being awarded with a well-deserved award of ‘Icons & Change Agents of Bihar’ in 2009. Enlighten the world with innovation

Call2Connect was a departure from Mr Sinha’s original area of expertise: the payment sector, where he had worked as an employee for nineteen years and an entrepreneur by establishing Venture InfoTek, the first payment processing company in India Mr Sinha, while managing the Call2Connect affairs as Chairman and Managing Director, also acted as a domain consultant for several companies active in the Payment industry sector like A Little World, iSMART, Waseela Equity Dubai, In-Solutions, Mint Canada, MCHQ, etc, on a part-time basis.

VENTURE INFOTEK: ANOTHER FEATHER IN THE CAP Anil Sinha set up Venture InfoTek in March 1996, and through it he introduced offsite outsourcing in the domestic banking circle in the country. This new endeavor was a monumental step for the merchants as well as for the banks. No company in India had till then devised a path such as that of Venture InfoTek. A technologically superior company than any of its time, Venture Info- tek used the internet, WAP, chip cards, and data management to complete financial transactions. The company automated the countertop of merchants by installing EDC machines to accept Payment Cards and carry the transactions to Visa, Mastercard and American Express authorization hubs located in the US or in Australia, get the transactions approved over the wire within five seconds. . It was quite a task to gather up human resources with high potential as well, and his team consisted of twenty members, to begin with. His unfailing determination worked wonders in a very short time, however. By October 1997, he had successfully managed to get aboard all nine banks who were in the credit card business in India. Venture Infotek soon grew into an eight-hundred strong organization with branches in nine metropolitan cities
INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | ISSUE 8 | JULY 2020
and Goa. With IBM Services and VISA International as partners, they had a presence in twenty-four cities and the international market, all within fifteen months of inception.
(Point to be added)- He also for the first time in the Banking history of India secured RBI permission for setting up of a separate subsidiary of a Bank created for a specific purpose. Namely Bobcards Ltd.
After these months of dedicated hard work, his success story wrote itself. Equifax Corporation, an American processing company, offered a Joint Venture deal to Venture Infotek. Thus Equifax Venture Infotek Ltd was born, with its headquarters at Clearwater, Tampa, USA. Mr Sinha became the Managing Director of the company through this partnership. This gave him an experience in M&A, and exposure to several investors, which proved to be an asset for his future endeavors.
He launched several innovative products under this umbrella for the first time in India.
BOB CARD: INNOVATION IN BANKING INDUSTRY An innovative streak showed itself even in Mr Sinha’s term as a bank employee. Not many can boast of bringing to life revolutionary changes in the banking industry.
Mr Sinha practically established the BOB Card division and then the subsidiary company as one would a company, and that gave him the experience and skill which he later weaved into his startups. His foray into the credit card business not only had a tremendous impact on the payment sector, but it also foreshadowed his successful future as an entrepreneur. “If you are in a job; attempt to take over all responsibilities of your boss, make him reliant on you and you will keep earning quick promotions.
His first assignment was in Patna where he had managed to set up an award-winning Branch from scratch with the highest deposit mobilization for a new branch in the history of Bank Of Baroda. The resounding success and unparalleled history of continuous highest achievement awards compelled the Chairman to take notice to visit him and offer him a position at Mumbai in the newly set up card department. Hailing from Patna, Bihar, he faced regionalism and discrimination when he first moved to Mumbai, but that didn’t stop him from doing his very best and ultimately proving himself to his peers and seniors alike. He kept working on his personal research studying the methods of operation in the department. When his suggestions for improvement were finally paid heed to, they turned out to be a major game-changer for the bank. Mr. Sinha was then appointed to restructure and automate the organization and revamp all the processes and departments including Sales, Marketing, Backend, etc.
“If you are an entrepreneur, become a reliable consultant for your customer rather than a seller.”
Radical steps like decentralization of the sales setup for card division of Bank of Baroda, automation of the processes, establishment of 24X7 Help Desk, and so on. These steps were unknown to other organizations in those times—
His achievements have been recorded on a number of multimedia platforms, and he stands out as one of the most versatile and successful entrepreneurs of the country.
His intervention proved to be immensely fruitful. In a time when there was only a marginal presence of VISA or Mastercard in India, that too without any automated network or widespread acceptance, Mr Sinha introduced the facility of automated Credit Cards with an inbuilt credit facility to the banking sector of India. He was made the Executive Vice President of BOB Cards in 1994 because of his phenomenal foresight and aptitude. Within six to eight months of him taking over, the base successfully grew from three thousand cards and nine hundred merchants to two lakh credit card holders and twenty-two thousand merchants, thereby making BOB Card the market leader. For the first time, an Indian Credit Card was giving international Bank cards a run for their money. Enlighten the world with innovation

Mr Sinha’s success mantra teaches us to always strive to be the best and put in more energy and effort into our work. Mr Sinha has been an avid experimenter all his life. What is astonishing to note is that as an individual who started out as a gold medalist from Patna Science College in Zoology, Mr Sinha gained an unparalleled success in every venture he delved into banking, entrepreneurship, and as a consultant for several companies. He was invited to share his experience and knowledge at the RBI Apex Training College, BOB Training College, Bank of India Training College, Dena Bank Training College, National Institute Bank Management (NIBM), National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI), Visa Advisory Forums and several other independent seminars on the Payment Industry.
POINTS TO ADD His standing and influence in the payment industry is incomparable. He is considered amongst the foremost authority and subject matter expert in the business. The amount of respect and credibility that he has earned in the industry over the years is invaluable. There are innumerable people who look up to him with sheer reverence and consider him their life long mentor. Has written a thesis on digital Payment industry and won the award from the Indian Bank Association under the Cooverji Hormusji Bhabha Research Scholarship and award on of the first documents works on the potential of the card industry in India.

Bringing new habits in our daily life, it is kinds of a tricky process, if you asked how long it takes to form a new habit, most of the people will quickly respond “21 days.” However, according to a 2009 study, which printed in the European Journal of Social Psychology, it takes 18 to 254 days for a person to become habitual of new behavior. The study also accepts that, an average person, can take 66 days to bring a new habit in our daily life
In the 1950s, Maxwell Maltz (American cosmetic surgeon) started noticing a strange pattern among his patients. When he would perform an operation (Facial operation) on their patients, Dr. Maltz got that it would take around 21 days to get used to seeing their new face. He also not noticed those patients who had an arm or leg amputated, they would sense a phantom limb for about 21 days before adjusting a new situation. Later, he did experiments on himself to change behavior, he found that it took himself around 21 days to form a new habit. He wrote these experiences “These, and many other commonly observed phenomena tend to show that it requires a minimum of about 21 days for an old mental image to dissolve and a new one to jell.” In 1960, Dr. Maxwell Maltz launched a book called “Psycho-Cybernetics,” in this book he has written his thoughts on behavior changes. The book went viral all across the country and become popular – till now over 30 million copies have been sold – this situational observation has become accepted as fact. There are a lot of motivators and as more people like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, and others recited Maltz’s story. But people forgot that he said “it takes a minimum of about 21 days” shortened it to, “It takes 21days to form a new habit.” And that’s how people began the common myth everywhere that it takes “21 days” to become automatic. It’s remarkable how often these timelines are quoted as statistical facts. It could be quite a dangerous lesson if the majority of people say something more often time, then every single one starts to believe it. It makes sense why the “21 days.” become popular among the people. It’s easy to keep in mind the time frame and short enough to be inspiring, but most important long enough to be believable. In fact, who wouldn’t like to replace bad behavior with a good one after 21 days? Enlighten the world with innovation

But, the reality is that Maxwell has written the whole book according to observation: what was going on around him and how he experienced the experiment himself. There isn’t any claim on it. In addition, he ensured to say that this was the min amount of time needed to adopt a new habit.
As per a 2012 study, published the British Journal of General Practice -- you can find on NCBI, “habits are defined as actions that are triggered automatically in response to contextual cues that have been associated with their performance.” Let’s take an example to understand this statement--when you hop on the car, you intuitively put on the seat belt. You don’t think at all about doing it. have you asked the question why? The reason because your brain likes habits because they are efficient. When you automate common actions, you realize mental resources for other activities.
depends on a lot of things like the habit we chose, a person, and the circumstances. According to DR. Lally, the time it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days to become habitual of a new habit – not 21 days. The most interesting thing, the study also found out, “Missing one opportunity to perform the behavior didn’t materially affect the habit formation process.” In another world, no matter if you mess up from time to time. Becoming habitual of new behavior is not all or nothing.
There isn’t any right or wrong timeline. The only timeline that value is the one that works best for you. Besides, if you are making a commitment to bring changes in your life. keep doing that without focusing time of period.
Most often question ask why don’t we throw our bad habits in the trash even if I know something’s bad for us? A lot of people want to quit smoking, Drugs, and alcohol (a bad habit) but they don’t. For this research, NIH funded scientists have been looking for the question. According to Dr. Russell Poldrack (a neurobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin) “Pleasure-based habit so much harder to break. Enjoyable behaviors can prompt your brain to release chemical call dopamine.” Dopamine is a very crucial chemical massager in the brain that strengthens the behavior and creates the craving to do it again. This is why most people crave drugs even they know in the end it will be harmful.
In 2009, published an article on European of Social Psychology, psychologists Phillippa Lally, H. M. Van Jaarsveld, Henry … Potts and jane Wardle (University College London, London, UK) made a research on 96 volunteers (30 men, 66 women) for 12 weeks, each person chose different behavior like 31 to choose a drinking behavior, 34 an exercise behavior, 4 mediation, and 27 choose eating behavior as per the article. The research acknowledged that, on average it takes more than 9 weeks before a new habit becomes automatic – 66 days to be exact. However, it ultimately Enlighten the world with innovation

JK Bima: A trusted Insurance Broking Firm ensuring best value for it’s client
“We have the motive to play the role of such a broker only in this journey of our valued clients whether they be a humble farmer or a large corporate organisation
“
Orindam Sen | Chief Executive Officer
Ever since the insurance broking space came into existence, its scope has expanded to provide diverse value-added services. The Indian insurance broking space aims to span- structure and placement of insurance coverage along with claims management, risk management, employee-benefit solutions, business continuity planning and much more. Insurance brokers are professional advisers who do not work for insurers but are legally mandated to work on behalf of the insuring public and their corporate clients. This domain is an extensive market with many big players rendering broking services. Most of these broking companies target the urban market and are associated with the B2B environment. This caused the rural population to lag behind in this sphere.
INCEPTION STORY
With the motive to acknowledge the needs of the rural population and bring a change in the current situation in the Indian Insurance Broking Space, JK Bima was established in 2003 under the auspices of renowned 135 years old JK Group. JK Bima has successfully carved a niche for itself since then. This Broking Firm has helped many companies and has Enlighten the world with innovation

emerged as a flag-bearer in this sector due to its exclusive functioning philosophies of trust and transparency coupled with unmatched technical expertise supported by extensive use of technology. JK Bima has shown exemplary determination to make a positive impact on the lives of those who have been left out or ignored deliberately by other peers. With the vision to get included amongst the most innovative companies in India committed to excellence, the growth graph of JK Bima group is escalating rapidly. Late Lala Lakshmipat Singhania, a visionary and Key Architect of JK Organisation was the Managing Director of National Insurance Company Limited until its nationalisation in 1971. Following the footsteps of the promoter family with it’s historical interest in the insurance space and possessing a vision of financial sector liberalization, JK Risk Manager & Insurance Brokers Ltd was incorporated in 2002 and licensed by the Regulator in 2003. It is a business unit aiming to take forward the legacy of the century old JK Group of ensuring customer satisfaction.
INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | ISSUE 8 | JULY 2020
“We believe that insurance must be a beneficial product that should be bought from a trusted broker who is always ready to seek the best value for their client without trying to escalate their personal revenue. A broker must always assist the client in purchasing the right cover at the right price and assist in recovery of claims efficiently and advise the client based on years of acquired experience and intimate knowledge of the insurance sector nationally and globally”. DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR
When many big players in the industry are in cut-throat competition with each other to establish their hegemony in the business to business space, JK Bima has stood out of the crowd due to its explicit approach and unique philosophy. Recalling the time of the initial stages of the Company, Mr. Orindam Sen says, “We commenced our journey in the rural insurance broking sphere back in 2007. Our promoters emphasized our entry into the space of rural distribution. It was a different area to indulge into as insurance is usually done in B2B format only. Initially, we started with the introduction of a product for the rural sector called a weather-based insurance scheme that is a weather-related product and we solicited for a company called the Agricultural Insurance Company. It was the very first time in our country when someone intervened with a product like this. We as Insurance brokers are aiming to make a difference by acknowledging the needs of people from the marginalised and backward section of the economy. Our primary vision is this only and we have been successful enough to make a difference in this respect.” JK Bima has capably expanded its horizons owing to its employee centric approach which has made them capable of catering to four ecosystems involving B2B market, the rural distribution space, retail vertical using technology to converge on the urban client base and last but not the least, the international reinsurance market with a focus on South Asia and the Indian Ocean Rim countries. Employee contentment is of utmost importance to the Company as due to their experienced and motivated employees only the group has been able to grow in leaps and bounds, meeting the expectations of their precious clients.
