DOMINANT AS ITS LEADER

Ennoble IP is a conglomerate of IP and allied researchbased services, that works on optimizing the IP needs of 3 specific sectors - Small and medium enterprises, start-ups and educational institutions. Brought into the illumination in 2014, the company has utilized technology as its base to empower IP Services. Other than IP protection Services, it handholds its clients with research upon their raw ideas ranging from drafting, filing, prosecution to the commercialization of their patents, trademarks, copyright and designs and also provides corporate training. Shweta recollects that IP has always been the basic subject of her professional career. She has accomplished a multinational experience by working with many trending enterprises like Jubilant Groups from where she initiated her career in the IP vertical. She got a pre-placement offer while she was pursuing her MBA from Amity University. After jubilant, she started working with Amity University, where she worked in the academics and further had the glorifying opportunity of performing extensive research and development in Intellectual Property. Being primarily associated with the educational sector, Along with her entrepreneurship, Shweta is the Executive Director of Indian Academy of Law & Management.

TRANSFORMING A CONCEPT INTO STRUCTURE

“I had this vision from my childhood to build something on my own and to do something different than what others of my age were doing,” Shweta acknowledges that her dream to craft her magnum opus was from a very early age. However, establishing the structure and taking it to the current standard took a huge toll on Shweta. During the formation of Ennoble IP, She was overwhelmed by anocean of challenges which primitively seemed unconquerable for her. Being a woman she had to face the orthodox nature of the society that shows

numerous prejudices for aspiring women entrepreneurs. Secondly, while attending one of the Intellectual Property conferences in Singapore, she came across the fact that India was being intensively criticized for not being able to safeguard its intellectual property. Despite accommodating cultivated brains of the generation who show their excellence in working with intangible assets, India was not able to show its optimal efficiency. This was because of an undefined framework, which lagged the nation behind in Global Innovation Index ranking. These two factors were the immediate reasons that laid down the foundation of Ennoble IP. During the time of its inception, India was quite unaware of the emphasis of IP services and the treasure it holds. This oblivious mindset also proffered unwillingness and ignorance towards the significance of investing in IP protection. To overcome this hassle, the firm formed a framework, which helped the company to provision ace grade IP protection services at 75% lower cost thanwhat is generally charged in the market.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND ORGANISATION

Being a woman entrepreneur she wanted to empower other women to come forward and portray their willingness to be financially independent, especially in rural areas. This made her innovate WIEF (Women Innovation Entrepreneurship Foundation). A non-Profit organization that gives women the platform, where they can implement their ideas to earn profits out of them. Along with this, she is also in the process of establishing SHEREAL, a tech-media platform for women. In-depth investment on R&D has promisingly brought an edge over the others for Ennoble IP. Innovation is the key to stay ahead in the domain and also helps an organization to create a competitive mindset. Ennoble IP is a technology-driven firm and through intensive R&D, it has consistently enhanced its technology platform making it convenient for clients’ usage. Another USP of this organization is its approach to takingthe newly initiated business to the next level. They endeavour to provide appropriate IP protection services to MSMEs, Start-ups and educational institutions that can boost their economies and contribute to the development of the country.

EQUALIZING BETWEEN WORK LIFE AND PERSONAL LIFE

“I understood that to be successful in both the arenas doesn’t mean I need to have equal hours at home and in the office, rather it means that I need to find a rhythm Enlighten the world with innovation

that fulfils both sides.” Based on this content, Shweta acknowledges that having an entrepreneurial career can disrupt the balance between professional and personal life. But these disruptive circumstances can be mitigated by following an organized pattern that can synchronize both. In her case, she keeps a very enthusiastic mindset towards her brainchild. She loves challenges and starts her day with the motivation to withstand all that comes in her way. Over the years, the approach towards business women has changed. However, there are still people who like to constrict women within a societal dogma. To this, Shweta believes that every woman in society has the right to lead her life like others. Hence, she feels no guilt in making mistakes in contrast to societal expectations. To streamline both the hemispheres, she utilizes experiences and lessons, which also helps her in meeting her expectations.

TECHNOLOGICALLY ELEVATED TO THE TRENDS

Technology is a platform which evolves with time. The platform also enables customers to be advanced and procure fascinating ways to use it. If an organization continues to resist progress and decides not to keep up with technology, they are likely to fade away into obscurity. Shweta believes that technology is the turnkey that has taken her organization to the stratosphere. The whole world is steadily becoming technologically augmented and has given birth to many innovations (PCs, laptops, tablets and mobile devices).To stay adept with these transitions, Ennoble IP keeps updating itself according to the needs, which also helps theorganization in anticipating long term stability and growth.

Acknowledge Workforce Diversity

It is important to know that every individual has a different culture and background. And we all must acknowledge that each employees’ circumstances are different and unique during this pandemic. While some may adore working from home, others may find difficulty with their new routine. It is very important to lead with compassion and look after your every single employee’s well-being during these tough times.

Ask Empathy-Building Questions while having meetings

since nationwide lockdown, people have been following an unusual daily routine, that makes them feel anxious, sad, and frustrated. During the one-on-one meeting, take the time to listen to how your employees are handling themselves. Susan Milligan, (CHAM, CRCR, Patient Experience Director, Ensemble Health Partners) said “Being sensitive to the needs they have never shared with you is the essence of empathy.” You don’t have to give all answers, but listen and try to understand what they are saying. At the time not just your employees, but also others need support and compassion. By asking the question, “how are you feeling?” And “how can I support you?”, you make them feel great.

Build A Sense of Community

The office’s mutual trust and friendship among colleges and a sense of community don’t have to end while working from home. So, when your meeting is about the end, extend a little more time for just a casual chat with the team. If it is possible, set up virtual “Coffee Chat” to connect with each other regularly. By doing such kind things, your employees feel a lot better. A lot of people working from home at the time, which means they have to balance home and workload, sometime it could be challenging. Encourage employees to take breaks throughout a day and reduce the pressure by offering online Yoga session.

A lot of people don’t like to express their feeling among co-workers, so it would be great if communicate privately with other available resources. Share some training programs that can help your employees through these days.

Be Willing to Modify the Rules

Being a boss of a company, you may wish to keep business running as usual, but you need to understand that the current situation is totally different and worse, which we haven’t seen in our entire life before. Offering work flexibility to employees can help them to get their footing and adjust to their new normal. If it is possible, you may consider these points.

Provide mental health days: In a difficult time, employees may start feeling depressed and anxious while maintaining work productivity. It would be ok If they take a day off to focus on mental health. Allow for flexible hours: let them create a schedule that works for them, while reaming could be used for a business needs like meetings. Communicate expectations: If you prefer Sunday to get mails out, inform them that a response isn’t expected until Monday. Allow for distraction: For some reason, some employees cannot set up a working studio at their home. So, if you hear any sound, like a dog barking or kids crying, in the middle of your meeting, Greet it with a sense of humor.

Communicate freely and take out time some Time to listen

Fee communication and full transparency are important that may minimize any feeling of uneasiness throughout the tough times. As per Dan Grupe (a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Centre for investigating healthy minds,) “Uncertainty itself can lead to a lot of distress for humans in particular.” Over talking isn’t a bad thing. Keep your employees updated about what decisions have been made and why they’re having to be made. Take out some time to listen to employees’ concerns and adders to them. Tell them about tools or resources available that can help them.

Make a strong connection with employees

Focusing on business goals on your own can make it a bit more challenging to build a solid report with employees. David DeSteno, (Psychology professor at Northeast University) has said “Do something that makes them believe that you are one of them.” That single that “Even though you are the boss, in the end, you’re all in this together.” – from Harvard Business Review. Engage with your employees letting them get to know you on a personal level, like share some personal and work-related stories, that humanize your interaction, without being shy or worry about anything. Relating to your employees and empathizing with them may aid beef up the individual ties which construct a great team.

The whole world is dealing with the current situation in their own ways. Showing little kindness may aid your employees navigate their situation. In the end, I would say, you can lead the team effectively with compassion. Enlighten the world with innovation

IZM Review

Why India needs a new brigade of Women Empowerment Companies?

A nation grows by the collective efforts of both men and women. You can’t think of a developed economy without allowing half of its population to participate in the development process. A country’s growth is just like a relay race. You run to the best of your ability and pass the object to your partner, but if the partner doesn’t contribute, you lose. There’s a very similar situation India has been facing all these years. The mindset over the last 70 years has been that a male member of society should work and the female should look after the household chores. The society has been very rigidly killing the dreams of the girl child through its senseless explanations. However, when I call the society as senseless, it has very much to do with the kind of education they have been imparted. A society is the result of its education. This is so interlinked. The country was looted by the Britishers. When they

left the nation, India was an extremely poor nation with a rift between religions, lack of resources, poor infrastructure, and complete uneducated society. Eventually, as things began improving, one thing which grew at a slower pace than others was ‘mindset’. This mindset still believed that boys are the assets for the family and girls as a liability. Thus, the education of girls was considered as the least priority stuff. A human without education will be so much underconfident to make decisions about life. Girls grew up seeing their brothers getting new books to read, a new pair of shoes for school, a new Enlighten the world with innovation

bag and all these fascinating things which she should have been an equal owner, were taken away from her. When she looked at things creatively and asked out of curiosity, the people around made her feel a fool and thus she stopped looking at things creatively and her curiosity died within. As she reached her teens, the family began looking for a groom and eventually got her married and the world around her changed immensely. Despite all these changes, most women never run away from their responsibilities. In most Indian houses we see a brigade of women who very honestly fulfill their duties towards their home. And this is where the potential lies. If we can channelize their management skills in a way that more women gather the self-confidence to share their thoughts, to express their needs, the entire nation grows. Not sure how? Read this exam-

ple. 7 Gujrati women with Rs 80, started a venture called ‘Lijjat Papad’. Today the company employs 43000 women and has a worth of Rs 800 crore. This is what happens when everyone gets a chance to contribute. India still lags behind when it comes to talking about sex education, women’s health, and female hygiene. These are still considered as a stigma, a taboo. Our conservative society needs a brigade of women who can step up and talk more about these. A start-up in the field of women’s well being is a need of an hour. At an individual level, we should begin to proINDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | SPECIAL EDITION | JUNE 2020


mote the growth of women through social media platforms. At a societal level, we need to be courageous enough to challenge the fixed mindsets. Women’s empowerment can bring in a muchneeded change in the perception of society. We need more of Neerja Bhanot a flight attendant who chose her passengers’ life instead of hers in a plane hijack. Mary Kom, who faced all the hardships from society and yet became a champion at boxing. Kalpana Chawla, who just defied all the stereotypes and went into the space making India a proud nation. There’s a lot to it. The message though is, there’s hidden talent in every Indian household. We must be proud of it and create more opportunities. As a father, brother, husband and in whatever role we can, we must at present and in the future always support the women in our house to be contributing factors to the nation. There’s a lot we can do as a nation when people unite and work together. This is the time when we should all be tired of the stigma and difficulties faced by women around the nation and let them step out and learn a new skill, choose a career, innovate, experiment, try, fail, manufacture, sell, invent and do a lot more of these regularly. Such approaches will make companies grow stronger. A new brigade of women empowered companies will make for a more empowered nation.

LEXSTART CONSULTANCY PVT. LTD. MAKING STARTUPS “INVESTMENT READY” “Our idea is to be a

one-stop-shop for the early-stage startup ecosystem. At LexStart, we focus on satisfying any-and-all needs of the stakeholders in the early-stage startup ecosystem – entrepreneurs, investors, incubators.

ANISHA PATNAIK Co-Founder

~She says Be sure you can fight it out for at least 5 years. You need to forget everything and focus on your startup for 5 years; if you are ready to do that, then definitely go for it!

Women Entrepreneurship is one of the prized developments that has come under the spotlight during the last two decades. Today, the world is looking up to many female leaders, who have broken all the cliches and proved themselves competitive in society. In India too, the age of globalization has enabled women to come up with their vivid ideas and play an important part in elevating the country’s economy. One such trailblazing leader is Anisha Patnaik, Co-founder of LexStart Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. Anisha has secured a noteworthy experience in Legal and compliance matters and is a specialist in startup laws and venture funding transactions. She has worked for over a decade with various legal firms towards supporting and establishing startups in India. COMPANY AT A GLANCE LexStart Consultancy is one of the specialists, which emphasizes on managing all legal and compliance services and products of a startup from its very early stage. These include taking care of their trademarks, due diligence, commercial contracts, fundraising documentation, etc. Enlighten the world with innovation

Along with this, the company also serves its clients with a digital platform, where a startup can have access to all kinds of online services namely: • Online Compliance Management • ESOP Management – Incorporate and manage ESOPs. Give access to the visibility of employees’ ESOPs and the value of shares through separate employee dashboards. • Template Corner – Create, Manage and Execute templates online! • Cap Table Calculator – Understand the effect of premoney, ESOPs, etc. on your cap table; create, tinker and manage cap tables. • LexScore – Online due diligence and investment readiness score! • Record Management – A virtual storage space for all kinds of data and information. Clients can sort, tag and update their data for due diligence by investors, shareholders or creditors at any time. The stored data can further be shared and downloaded as per requirements. • Trademark Management- Track and protect your trademarks (expiry dates and anonymous breaches). LAYING DOWN THE CORNERSTONE The foundation of LexStart was laid down by two notable specialists, Anisha Patnaik and Karthik Chandrasekar (Co-founder). During her professional voyage, Anisha was associated with many notable organizations such as Thakker & Thakker, Acumen Fund, K Law. There she worked with many startups helping them in establishing themselves in India. After acclaiming a humongous experience, in areas of legal and compliance management, Anisha concluded that law firms were generally focused on aiding start-ups with their fundraising transactions. She believed that startups needed more support with day-to-day compliances and agreements at cost-effective rates. This was the concept behind bringing LexStart to the spotlight. After setting the stage for her brainchild in 2015, LexStart has been working on supporting the early-stage startup ecosystem with all kinds of legal and compliance supports. NOTABLE FACTORS During her professional timeline, Anisha found that a higher proportion of law firms only involved themselves with the fundraising part and widely neglected the other areas of importance. Filling this loophole is the main focus of LexStart. At a cost-effective price, LexStart focuses its concern on three verticals- Legal, Compliance and Products without compromising on quality. Entrepreneurs intend to be less concerned with paperwork and filing documents. For this, LexStart steps in and asks its clients to leave all the legal worries and compliance concerns on their shoulders while they go on elevating their business. By calling themselves “in house counsel and compliance manager”, LexStart aims at handholding through their client’s concerns while using technology to increase efficiency and transparency.

EMPLOYEES AS AN ASSET Besides technology, another factor that makes them a robust firm is their enthusiastic team with competent skills and experience in the field. Technology helps in the functioning of a company to its optimal levels; however, proper manpower is the asset that ensures every operation is performed seamlessly. The dynamic team of LexStart understands legal and compliance from both perspectives and helps their clients in staying “investment ready”. Further, to ensure optimal performance, LexStart trains its employees in the most enjoyable way. Further, to maintain their enthusiasm they organize games at the organizational level. EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN WORK AND PRIVACY I am a huge propagandist of “me time”. Every entrepreneur needs to have some time to themselves other than personal time. It’s been a challenge, but I ensure that I have some “me time”. – says Anisha Based on her professional and entrepreneurial journey, Anisha highly propagates the balance between work life and personal life. She enjoys her personal life by working out, learning to play the piano and reading books. EMPOWERING WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP Through her entrepreneurial journey, Anisha has learned that the roadmap of entrepreneurship is a challenging one. Finding the right people for the job and staying focused on your aim is easier said than done. However, she believes the key to success is staying diligent on the path. Through her journey, she intends to motivate women to go beyond societal stereotypes, and stay focused on what they wish to achieve. In addition to this, she urges every aspiring woman to procure their “me time”, as she believes self-elevation is equivalently important as personal time. ACCOLADES AND THE FUTURE ROADMAP For its impeccable services, the company is considered as one of the foremost startup specialists. LexStart also helps government organizations. LexStart was the Exclusive Legal Partner to Maharashtra Startup Week. LexStart also won Startup India’s Ease of Doing Business Challenge! Ahead on the road, LexStart is looking forward to becoming the global connoisseur of supporting startups with legal services and is already providing its services offshore. A NOTE FOR READERS “If you are thinking of starting-up, do something you are passionate about because entrepreneurship is tough and the only thing that keeps one going is the passion and love for what they are doing”. – Anisha Patnaik INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | SPECIAL EDITION | JUNE 2020

WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU SEE IN THE HR INDUSTRY? The first and foremost challenge is, still the industry is unorganized. There are thousands of HR recruitment consultancies in India which do not follow a standard services charges system. The recruitment service part of the HR industry works on a credit system of 30 days to 90 days or more than this but to get payment on time is challenging. To curb such companies there are no associations for HR where you can highlight such companies and request proper actions against them. These companies enjoy using different recruitment agencies to fulfill their requirements without any fear. OTHER CHALLENGES ARE: Attracting Top Talent Attracting and retaining the best resource for the client takes a lot of time, effort and HR consultant resources. Consistent Skill Upgradation Identification of skill development, design of the proper skill development program and implementation of the same is the biggest challenge for the HR industry. Today most of the employees leave their jobs because of a lack of training and skill development as required for the business. Change Management Today’s HR faces the following challenges for organizational change management like Resistance and lack of support for change in policy and system of the organization. Resistance to navigate from the comfort zone in the organization and Cultural change. WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE TO THE INNOVATIVE ZONE READERS? I believe that HR is the backbone of any industry. For the growth of the organization, HR functions and role of HR consultants are of utmost importance for sourcing resources to fulfill the job requirement, identify training needs, design of training needs and implementation, proper set up of targets and goals of each employee in the organization and implementation of PMS in the organization. Last but not least for hiring and retaining the best talent in the industry, employer branding in terms of organizational policy and procedures is significant as the best talent always prefers to associate themselves with such organizations. In the coming time, HR functions will be mostly AI-driven and therefore organizations will need to prepare themselves for this change to keep up with the pace of changing trends in the industry.

SEVEN TIPS TO STAY BALANCED IN YOUR BUSINESS AND LIFE: How two important factors of life should be inter-related

Once a little boy entered his father’s room. The kid politely asked him how much does he earn in an hour. ‘Rs. 500’ replied his dad. So the child requested for Rs 300. Father got angry at the child for disturbing him and replied that he wouldn’t give the boy any single coin to buy a stupid toy or a video game. The child left the room quietly. After a while when the Dad realised that he shouldn’t have reacted, he walked to his son’s room quietly and happily handed him Rs 300. The kid became very happy and ran upto his desk, took out some crumbled notes and gave it back to his father saying thats this is Rs 500 for you. ‘Can you please come home an hour early tomorrow, I want to have dinner with you’. A lot of time we become so occupied in our life that we are not able to manage the work and the family life. Your family requires your time. So does your business. You need to attend a parents teacher meeting and you absolutely can’t miss the project deadline. Your wife needs you to patiently have your breakfast, shop for the family needs, occasionally go out for a movie, help her in the household chores and your work has it’s own set of expectations. A lot of businessmen struggle to find out the right mix. Yes, in a real world magic doesn’t work. The good news is, planning does.

Here we share seven tips you can follow to stay balanced in your business and life 1: Plan out your day: A well planned day gives you adequate time to manage your work. Yes, some days you may have an emergency meeting which possibly goes on longer than expected, yet on most occasion, a thought out day make things easier to manage. To plan out your day, all you need is your smart phone. Go to your calendar and set up the meeting time. Utilise your note making section in your phone and write down your day. 5-7 minutes of investment in planning ahead saves a lot of time. Enlighten the world with innovation

2: Meditate: Don’t worry about doing it right. Just sit in a quite place, close your eyes and concentrate on your breath. This is one of the best ways to keep your anxiety under control and increases your productivity immensely. 3: Stay Positive: There’s much negativity around. Entrepreneurs need to stay positive and keep away from distraction. One good way of doing this is to watch, read and discuss good news. Discuss ideas, not people. Pick up your phone and talk to a good old friend. Step out and play a game of badminton. There are so many good things happening in your life. All you need to do is to look at it differently. 4: Prioritise things: Know your duties and prioritise them in oder of urgency. Saying No to an extra project doesn’t mean you are giving up. It means that you are self aware of your responsibilities and is not willing to take on a duty as of now which you won’t be able to do it qualitatively. Prioritising stuffs will not only help you save time, it also increases your focus on important projects. This counts for a happy life. 5: Disconnect: While business men have no fixed start and stop time, yet you need to bring this up in your to do list that there has to be a time when notifications in your mobile phone is turned off. Interact with your family member. Have a good conversation. Know their interests. Help a child in the family to complete his school project. This is a great technique to rejuvenate your mind. 6: Stay Healthy: Your business is entirely dependent on your health. Just like a vehicle doesn’t move forward without petrol, a plant doesn’t grow without water, a child isn’t educated without school, similarly your business wont survive without you. You absolutely need to take care of your body. Do not skip your breakfast. Have regular meals and eat a light dinner. 7: Be clear with your vision: Last but not the least, you need to know what you are working for. Lack of clear vision has been a reason for a downfall since ages. Write down your dreams and see them everyday. This keeps the motivation high.

The more balance you have between work and life, the more will be the happiness and higher will be the success. Enlighten the world with innovation

THINKTAG ADVERTISING CREATING BRANDS THAT LEAVE IMPRESSIONS

Marketing as we all know is one of the chief practices for a company to build a strong foundation in the market. No matter how much the arena evolves and the channels of outreach change with the times, a strong foundation in marketing strategy, brand positioning and brand architecture will always be needed. When you extend that to communication, how you choose to communicate may change but the messaging remains all important and the key to a successful campaign. This is what ThinkTag Advertising plays a role in getting brands to have the right mix of strategy, innovation and communication.

SOMDATTA ACHARYYA Founder & Director

Industries have started to venture more and more on digital marketing which is one of the biggest evolutions in the industry. The segment enables users to advertise their products in national and international markets thus, replacing the old ways of reaching people. Venturing onto digital marketing without having a strong foundation in place may be a recipe for disaster. Therefore ThinkTag Advertising strikes the right balance of using contemporary and traditional methods of marketing to make robust brands that connect with the customers. ESTABLISHMENT OF STATURE IN THE MARKET Thinktag was initiated in 2009 by Ms. Somdatta Acharyya (Founder, Director) as a brand consulting firm in Worli, Mumbai. The initial aim of ThinkTag was to provide branding and marketing solutions as an outsourced team to SMEs and start-ups which lacked a proper marketing set-up. However, work came from larger corporates which was looking to pilot test innovation centers or new products or businesses. With time, on demands of its clients, ThinkTag evolved into a full-fledgedmarketing communications agency in 2012. Since then ThinkTag has been operating as a brand consulting and advertising agency working on print, outdoor, audio-visual and digital communication. Enlighten the world with innovation

A BRIEF OF THE CURATOR Ms. Somdatta Acharya, the curator of this establishment holds an MBA in Marketing from SCMHRD (Symbiosis) and has industry experience of 7 years in brand management & marketing, before starting ThinkTag a decade ago. During her time in the industry, as a Brand Manager, she observed that there was often a gap in understanding of the audience or the need for the communication by the ad agencies she dealt with. There was 40

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | SPECIAL EDITION | JUNE 2020


often a disconnect in the language or the imagery, especially for non ATL communication. That was the core thought when she ventured into Advertising. The objective was to deliver creatives, campaigns and solutions that work and produce business results and not focus on campaigns for awards. ADAPTING TO CHANGING MARKET TRENDS “What sometimes makes me sad is that when I look at campaigns around me, I see tactical campaigns and no real brand positioning.” Says Ms. Somdatta Acharyya. With the flow time, marketing and advertising has seen radical transformation. Every day gives birth to new trends, new ideas and evolving channels. Marketing strategies have shifted to delivering ‘brand stories’ instead of focusing on building a strong structure and a robust brand ladder. While keeping up with the dynamic nature of the market, ThinkTag team bears in mind the basics of ‘Kotler’, while working on brand positioning or brand communication. Communication channels like social and digital media are already in motion to bring turbulence in the industry; ThinkTag works tirelessly to research about consumers and what makes them engage with brands to deliver best online and off-line solutions to clients, in a cost-efficient way. IMPACT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT R & D is one of the major practices for a positive progression in any organization. But the ability to learn and gather knowledge from the research is what makes one better than the rest. Therefore at ThinkTag the emphasis is on Learning and Development. Employees are being engaged in refresher courses, digital marketing or web design courses for a continuous learning process. In addition to that, they organize presentations about the latest trends, learnings from innovations done by multinationals, experimental campaigns, use of technology, etc which translates into eventual client benefits. A WIDE RANGE OF CLIENTS The company has served numerous MNCs, start-ups across sectors like Real Estate, Pharmaceuticals, Fintech, Insurance, Banking, Quick service restaurant, Agri-tech, etc. Some of their notable brands are GSK, The Wadhwa Group, Tata AIG, Tech Mahindra Business Services, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Go Biryan, Star Sports and StarAgri Group. VENTURED TO MODERN TECHNOLOGIES With the evolution of technology, mankind is slowly moving towards a paperless world. So is ThinkTag! The company has incorporated digital as well as physical platforms in their project. An example of such is their brochure which is now a 2 d video or a leaflet that was in print format now as a GIF. A WELL-BALANCED WORK CULTURE “Our work culture is all about enjoying your work, completing it and leaving on time.” - Ms. Somdatta Acharyya. ThinkTag Enlighten the world with innovation

consists of a bunch of youngsters who are very enthusiastic, motivated and responsible. An extremely vibrant environment with flexible timing and punctuality at work is instilled where work gets maximum priority. The founder herself is very agnostic to negativity and believes Professionalism and enthusiasm should go hand in hand. Sticking to one’s word, delivering on promised timelines and doing the best every single time but it is also very important to enjoy the work so that it doesn’t seem like a burden. ACCOLADES AND ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE PRAISED FOR The company has shown steady growth over the years. From initiation to present, it has delivered marvellous performances in their projects even as a small team of 6 members. The initial years served as a learning phase which further gave them the platform to build a larger team of young talents that clocked 100% Y-o-Y growth, 3 years in a row. Furthermore, ThinkTag proudly speaks how its campaigns have delivered success to their clients. They are always traveling a rewarding journey where they have successfully launched brands or projects that have helped companies undergo intended image change and evolve their communication and strategies to keep pace with the evolving marketplace. GLORIOUS FUTURE PROSPECTIVES Ms. Acharyya carries the thought “It’s not the future, it’s a new present every day.” There’s an explosion of social media and digital platforms and while there have never been more ways to reach the consumer, it’s never been harder to connect with the consumers. ThinkTag is gearing up to do exponentially complex and creative work at this exciting time. The focus is more on precise, hard-hitting creatives. What is also of importance is that one cannot prioritise quality or quantity any more, the requirement is of both, so from a creative perspective it is all about quantity with quality. So keeping pace with the times is really an on-going process. A HAND OF HELP TOWARDS THE SOCIETY During its initiation, Ms. Acharya was enlighted by a lesson from her mentor and B-school professor - ‘You will be really an entrepreneur when you provide employment to at least 10 people’. The company started out as a one-man army, quickly moved to a strength of six but now has a squad of 17 members. So in this market of high unemployment, Ms. Acharya is contributing with employment for the young and aspiring. What is of great significance is also the focus on women empowerment, who make up for more than 60% of the workforce. The company is also mindful of the environment and encourages a very low tolerance towards single-use plastics. They tend to recycle, reuse waste material and during festivals turn them into creative decorations. INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | SPECIAL EDITION | JUNE 2020
