When our team asked Kiara to describe her motivational journey behind this venture, she asserts, “One of the reasons why I wanted to start Extraordinary Headhunters LLC was my drive to give a positive impact on the lives of many people. I had several experiences in the past wherein I received help and assistance from several individuals. When I got better, I promised myself that I will continue to help those who need my help. This is why I have decided to create a company that will enable me to achieve financial stability while making sure at the same time that I get to help others. In my company, we help companies find the right employees with the skills that they need. Through this, our clients experience more success in their chosen business ventures. Consequently, the employees we hire also get a stable earning opportunity.”

Moreover, we also see to it that all individuals applying for job positions get access to opportunities from companies that provide the best working environment.”

We also eagerly questioned her about her creative streaks, she adds by saying, “For me, the best way to describe my creative streak is that “it is a result of all my past experiences.” Everything that I experienced in the past helped me to reach where I am now. All the good things that are happening in my company and the people surrounding me are due to the hard work and determination that I have shown in the past few years. I have to say that my creative streak was something I worked hard for. I did not just get lucky. I did all sorts of work to ensure that I become successful as an entrepreneur.”

EDGE OVER PEERS

believe that my unique value proposition is my ability to connect well with people. As already mentioned, my goal in becoming an entrepreneur is not only to make money. What is more important for me is to impact the lives of job seekers and company owners positively. Aside from this, I also have a resilient attitude about things. Therefore, I can say that nothing can ever bring me down. I have a positive attitude to everything! All these helped me gain the trust and confidence of the leaders or owners of top companies nationwide and worldwide. Indeed, it helped me grow my client base!” -Kiara Streater.

Moreover, Kiara has a shining reputation as a philanthropist and an extraordinary entrepreneur worldwide. And this is one of the main reasons everyone, including herself, feels proud of her.

She says, “If there is one thing that I’m proud of, it is the fact that I’m not only a global business woman. At the same time, I am also a philanthropist who takes time and effort to help everyone around me. I’d say that I am the type of person who is not only here for the money, but also for the opportunity to help the people around me. I want to change lives one step at a time. Being a global entrepreneur and a philanthropist has made this possible.” EXTRAORDINARY HEADHUNTERS LLC

The inspiring CEO further affirms, “It feels great to know that a lot of organizations and individuals have recognized me as the person behind the success of my firm.

I encourage every member of my team to move out of their comfort zone 12

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

and embrace woman empowerment. I think this is one of the reasons why we have a healthy company culture, which eventually helped me grow Extraordinary Headhunters LLC and to bring it to the next level. I always believe that everyone has a talent. However, I also recognize that the biggest challenge for every recruiter is identifying that talent and matching it with the right company in need of such skill. Moreover, Here at Extraordinary Headhunters LLC, our team of professional experts is trained in doing this. We have an efficient system of finding the right person for every job position available in our clients’ companies.”

BOND WITH TECH

Someone has once quoted, “It’s not that we use technology, we live technology!” We alL are aware of the fact that technology is an inseparable part of a successful business venture. A business leader must keep his or her one eye on the latest technology and every day updates the same. The team of Extraordinary Headhunters LLC keeps its utmost focus on implementing the latest technologies throughout the venture. Kiara says that technology has made it possible for her to expand the operations of the business. The company continues to use the latest tools in recruiting the best people for corporations or companies. The team has created an efficient system that makes it easy for interested applicants to go through the recruitment process. Research and development play an essential part in the recruitment industry. Recruiters need to learn the latest statistics about job employment and the creation of companies. At the same time, it is also crucial to obtain information that can make staffing agencies make better decisions regarding their operations. In this regard, the inspiring asserts, “As a recruiter, I believe that I have to determine what motivates a person to work for a company. Aside from this, I also need to understand how companies create job positions and decide on the qualifications they are looking for. All these can be determined through proper R&D. Innovation is great and it provides more opportunities for people who know how to use them. It can be a good thing, and can even be an important element for the success of 13

BILL GATES’

SUCCESS STORY

Well, the guy comes from a fairly wealthy background so he doesn’t have a story that rags-to-rich one. Bill Gates had to work hard in order to become what he is today. His father was a prosperous attorney, while his mother was a school teacher who became a member of the First Interstate Bank Board of Directors. Gates was a brilliant student who performed exceptionally well in academics, especially in the subject, Mathematics. At the early age of 13, a passion for computers and programming was developed by Bill Gates. He also got himself enrolled into a private preparatory school, the Lakeside School at the same age. While at school, seeing Gates’ flare in programming, the school administration decided to buy him a computer from the General Electric Company. The school administration allowed him to pursue his interest by excusing him from classes. Bill Gates, on the GEC machine, built his first ever computer program. While at school, Bill Gates along with Paul Allen worked together in a system that belonged to Computer Center Corporation, to find bugs in it. Gates and Allen together with two other students wrote a payroll program for Information Sciences in exchange for computer time and royalties. This led the school to become fully aware of Gates’ talent. In the early age, Gates and Allen continued to build software’s and Bill Gates sold software to optimize traffic for $20,000 in the age of 15. He developed another software, a few years later and earned $30,000 from it. And with this, he started his journey on the way to becoming a successful billionaire.

Bill Gates is an American programmer, entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist, co-founder of Microsoft: the premier software company in the world. With an estimated $90.6 billion in net worth, Gates is the world’s, second-richest man. But how did he shaped this wealth,

SETTING UP MICROSOFT CORPORATION Bill Gates and Paul Allen, in 1975, co-founded a software company that was named as Micro-Soft. In the initial stage, the company was delivering small software products to different firms as they were not able to hire a sales manager. This process was done by Gates’ mother, Mary Maxwell. Shortly thereafter, the company started to face financial crises that made Gates and Allen realize that Microsoft had dropped to the lowest affordable point. The issue was occurring mainly due to the usage of some pirated software. However, the two owners had the courage not to lose hope and as “Struggling is a Part of the Story”, both of them came up with the launch of MS-BASIC, which helped them in making a profit of $50,000.

In 1979, Microsoft was offered to develop a program by one of the American multinational tech company – IBM who launched (about to launch at that moment) the world’s first personal computer. Unfortunately, at that time, Microsoft didn’t have the resources to develop an Operating Software (OS), so it recommended another company to IBM for its OS. Soon after a few months, an OS system named ’86-DOS’ was bought by Microsoft and started to enhance it regularly on a wide scale that resulted in the launch of ‘MS-DOS’. Directly after the launch, Microsoft offered IBM to use MS-DOS for their first-ever personal computer that they were about to launch as the key OS. IBM accepted the proposal immediately and Microsoft was able to see-off Digital Research

competition-the company Gates

and Allen had suggested IBM for developing their OS.

A contract between Microsoft and IBM was signed in 1980 and Microsoft became Microsoft Corporation within a year. The first-ever personal computer was launched by IBM with MS-DOS along with other Microsoft products like MS-BASIC, MS-COBOL, MS-PASCAL, etc. The company founded by Bill Gates started to pour accomplishments which included the creation of the first mouse for personal computer, and development of the Windows Operating System. The first Windows OS that got launched was Windows NT, then over the next few years, a series of Windows were followed, including the launch of Window 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. Ever since Microsoft has been growing. Microsoft has expanded its product from Window OS, Microsoft Office Suites, Office 365, Xbox, Bing, and Hotmail, it goes on. CURRENTLY Everything began with the first idea, Microsoft is keeping on dominating the software market. Bill Gates has been successful in keeping up with the pace of change, which led Microsoft to remain #1 software company in the world. For a few years now, there has been no involvement of Gates in the dayto-day operations of Microsoft. Most of the time has been dedicated to

philanthropy and community projects. He has co-founded many foundations, one of them is The Giving Pledge, which is a foundation that focuses on encouraging wealthy people to contribute their majority of wealth towards Philanthropic Causes. More than 80 per cent of Bill Gates’ wealth is pledged to the charity upon death. PHILANTHROPY • William H. Gates Foundation • Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation • Gates centre for Computer Science • Giving Pledge, and more. Bill Gates is an inspiration to many, there are numerous things to be learnt from his life and success story, which includes being focused on your goals and to persistently pursue them.

Bill Gates is the cofounder of Microsoft Corporation and one of the world’s most prominent individuals, who was born in Seattle, Washington, on October 28, 1955. Bill Gates is one of the most inspiring figures in history, he has had a life packed with achievements.

NIMROD MON BROKMAN A laudable leader striving for sustainability Kajal Dobhal | Innovative Zone For this exclusive inside story highlighting the vignette of yet another phenomenal business leader, we sat down for an interview session with the founding head of Behavioural Foresight— Nimrod Mon Brokman. During this freewheeling conversation, we come across some valuable insights while conversing with him about his entrepreneurs journey. And we fervently believe that his business ideology and innovative streak will amaze our global readership in the best possible manner. Today, Nimrod Mon Brokman has become an influential leader in his targeted industry. In an early age only, he joined a fencing club that offered him with international recognition as a representative of Israel. When he turned 18, as per the mandate, he joined Israeli Defence Force where he served with all his heart to rescue soldiers behind enemy lines. At his last year as an operator, Mon managed the R&D department in his unit. After undergoing such great experiences in his life, he became curious to comprehend the functioning of the human brain and wanted to become adept in taking decisions under unfavourable circumstances, deriving insights from the western & eastern perspectives. HOW DID IT ALL START? Since the wave of realization hit him, Mon has been on an extraordinary mission to allow people to explore their hidden potential and reach a better place in terms of the future. While he was preparing for Rio Olympic Games with Israeli Olympic teams in 2016, he couldn’t help but identify a pattern of resistance to any sort of change that a person undergoes. He states that a known phenomenon is responsible for it, “We prefer the known and the certain. But in my case, I follow a Japanese term called “Satory”- to leave the comfort zone for growth and prosperity, the unknown and the uncertainty is what ignites my internal engine in life, and therefore I have decided to explore unique and ancient cultures as India and see what I can learn and experience.” Mon’s sheer intents and dedication allowed him to come across Shiva Subramanian— his business partner. Together, they combined their acuity and forces to build an ecosystem for Human performance, Connect Venture, targeting sustainable farming, personalized nutrition, exercise physiology, food laboratory, simulation mind-room and mind & gut weltech solutions. To make a positive impact on the ecosystem, they are focused on leveraging the most advance and cutting-edge tech, science and objective measurements blended with some ancient wisdom to develop some practical and trainable solutions. This business venture is heavily focused on delivering relatable solutions to those who strive to enhance their health, wellness and performance to the next level. Here, they are taught to acknowledge their responsibilities while learning the way to be independent and living a sustainable lifestyle that is the need of the hour. A STAUNCH LEADERSHIP For Mon, leadership is all about leaving behind any sorts of comparisons while putting unwavering attention in every step he takes towards his aspired objectives. The luminary explains, “There are moments that as a leader you would like to be in the front and willing to be exposed first and moments were I prefer to lead from behind and empower my team or the people around me same as I did as a commander back in my military days.” According to his philosophy, this fine line is the sophisticated art of leadership and he spends a major portion of his daily routine stimulating this sensibility only, which is quite commendable. 20

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

Aligning the workforce as per the vision If a human strives to grow and make a difference, then this is the biggest point for him to join a visionary leader. Mon also thinks the same way as he seeks growth mentality in any candidate before bringing him on board. The organisation runs on a principle of maintaining consistent practical study sessions. As they are doing so, they have ensured a steadfast opportunity for personal growth for every individual while inspiring them towards the vision and mission of the company, they aspire to prioritize. prepared for the worst of situations. This allowed them to continue with their services even amid pandemic times. With their diverse network as well as a creative streak, they were able to bridge deals in terms of safety equipment, cleaning environment and human health via smart and well-researched products.

R&D IS IN THEIR ‘DNA’ Mon asserts that R&D is an indispensable part of the company’s DNA. At present, the R&D process is heavily focussed on developing a one-of-a-kind simulation mind room, helping commonalities train their own selves with objective- physiological parameters for attaining better control over their minds, as well as welltech wearable which can be in every house or pocket. “We also developed kits for gut microbiome and metabolites as a self-assessment reaching to our clients home and allowing us to personalize their nutrition based on their genetics and recommendation of natural food. In our food laboratory, we have developed a breakthrough innovation as a mix flour gluten-free with high proteins levels and healthy amino acids,” unveils the leader about all the latest processes performed by the R&D department.

At present, they are teaching the employees a Japanese Martial Art that effectively guides a person in self- control and balanced decisions making while steering the wheels in multiple dimensions of life. He claims that this step has been quite efficacious amid the hard times to keep up with the productivity of the workforce and will also be beneficial in the future too. Here, he opines, “We allow the wisdom of our martial art to guide and train us to oversee, overcome, and be above obstacles while we keep on innovating, and for that, we have the responsibility to develop strong mentality within our team members.”

TECH-INCLUSION When he was asked to reveal the strategies to stay in line with the tech- trends thriving in the market, he responds that the executives have been establishing partnerships with the techinnovative companies from Israel and India which is wellacclaimed for its innovative streak. Basically, he wishes to ensure tech- inclusion from the global level as well as from the local point of view. “We have a collaboration with WellTech companies from Israel to bring smart and affordable solutions into the Indian market. Our personalized nutrition is based on deep research and experiments to bring the most advance methods to test objectively our clients and to formulate a guidelines that fit especially for them by cross matching their data and the expected lifestyle,” cites the tycoon. Soon, the tech-based business operations will bring more efficiency and productivity in favour of his business venture.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT For Mon, his biggest achievement is his extensive experience of life, not just the trophies. Whatever situations he came across from his early childhood, heavily contributed to his growth, helping him become a better version of himself. Be it in the military saving many lives during combat or performing with world cup champions in the preparation for the Rio Olympic games, his journey has been a stupendous add on to his unique perception of life. He believes being in touch with diverse cultures and mentalities as he travels the world strengthens his persona that makes him quite a calm and content person. For the future ahead, they have planned to reduce plastic consumption to transform the environmental conditions and stimulate the waves of change worldwide. Additionally, he has envisioned spreading his reach across two different countries to start with, while leading to more innovative disruption and making them relatable as well as relevant to the masses.

ADAPTING TO THE UNPRECEDENTED CRISIS As his whole organisation is into the human health and wellness space, the company proactively adapted to unfavourable circumstances. They also assisted people with a lot of educational and scientific knowledge alongside being

AN OVERWHELMING MESSAGE TO THE BUSINESS WORLD

“I am not a typical leader that educated under one main method or approach. Therefore, all I can speak about is my perception and experiences. To live life on the edge, continuously pushing to reach new boundaries and transcending require the ability to balance it all. The art of balance is internally with our health and externally with wealth, we the entrepreneurs are walking on a thin line and for that we must control our minds, to train our body and empower ourselves in the biggest failures to be able to foresee it and become stronger. In the special forces , we say:”When going gets tough the tough get going”

Once you are fully conversant with all the processes then think clearly if you want to work for yourself and want to be an entrepreneur or want to be part of a big process in a big company or MNC”.

B Medical Systems

Saving lives through reliable and innovative technology Avishek Singh | Innovative Zone

Vaccines, biospecimens, pharma preparation, and a wide range of drugs and pharmaceutical products are exceptionally sensitive to temperature, humidity, and other factors. What can we do to stop the billiondollar losses caused by biologicals being exposed to suboptimal temperatures? The medical cold chain, the network of medicalgrade refrigerators, freezers, and transport solutions designed to always keep biologicals at their intended temperature throughout their distribution process, is the natural solution to this problem. For example, maintaining the cold chain for vaccines or vaccination campaigns that require refrigeration is a major concern in the pharmaceutical industry. Throughout this process, stakeholders at each link in the chain must monitor and maintain the optimum temperature range. Failure to correctly monitor these temperatures, even over brief intervals, may result in a huge waste of money and resources, and vaccines losing their potency. This is why such a complex and lifesaving distribution process must be incredibly efficient and well-organized, and cold chain manufacturers such as B Medical Systems are rising to the challenge. B Medical Systems (formerly Dometic/Electrolux) is a global manufacturer and distributor of medical cold chain solutions.

Jesal Doshi CEO

“Our products are used to always keep life-saving vaccines, pharmaceuticals, samples, and compounds in a safe and reliable manner. With our state-of-the-art products, we ensure that these biologicals and specimens don’t lose their potency due to temperature excursions, thus protecting the health of people all over the world.” adds Mr. Jesal Doshi, CEO of B Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd.

With over 40 years of expertise, the company has developed novel methods to securely and reliably store and transport pharmaceuticals, blood components, laboratory specimens, and vaccines throughout the world. Its dedication to assisting health institutions, governments, and non-governmental organizations has saved innumerable lives while also enabling entire communities to develop and prosper. Mr. Jesal Doshi, the CEO of B Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd., opines, “As modern medicine becomes more complex and very often requires the use of thermosensitive solutions, B Medical Systems’ medical cold chain equipment provides the peace of mind healthcare professionals need in their day-to-day life.”

THE INSIDE STORY

B Medical Systems was founded in 1979 in Hosingen, Luxembourg, when the WHO approached Electrolux to find a way to properly store and transport its vaccines around the world. The company presently provides over 100 products throughout its three core business portfolios of Medical Refrigeration, Blood Management Solutions, and Vaccine Cold Chain. Laboratory Refrigerators, Laboratory Freezers, Pharmacy Refrigerators, Ultra-Low Freezers, Plasma Freezers, Contact Shock Freezers, Vaccine Refrigerators (Ice-Lined Refrigerators and Solar Direct Drive Refrigerators), and Transport Boxes are among INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

B Medical Systems’ main products. All products have integrated 24/7 real-time temperature monitoring capabilities that further ensure that these products offer the highest level of safety and reliability.

larger settlements and cities, perhaps in mountains, jungles, or deserts. The CEO adds, “We use a variety of methods to ensure that our products reach isolated villages. We’ve delivered vaccines in some of the world’s most inhospitable locations using vehicles, boats, helicopters, and even bicycles. However, getting to these locations isn’t the only issue we’ve had with providing a reliable vaccine cold chain. The most serious issue has been a general absence of a reliable power source. Electricity may be sparse and intermittent, if not completely unavailable. To cater to this problem, we offer Solar Direct Drive (SDD) Refrigerators and Freezers, medical storage equipment that relies on the power of the sun directly harvested by our solar panels.”

BECAUSE EVERY LIFE IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT

As the established market leader in the Vaccine Cold Chain for the past 40 years, B Medical Systems has provided equipment to support its partners in vaccinating more than 350 million children across the world. Through its long-lasting relationships with global humanitarian organizations such as UNICEF, the WHO, Gavi, Health Ministries, etc., B Medical Systems has installed over half a million units across 140+ countries around the world for safely storing and transporting vaccines, medicines, blood and other samples.

CONCLUSION

As governments throughout the globe move on with COVID-19 immunization programs, they continue to rely on companies to provide the solutions, speed and efficiency that they require to guarantee the success of their vaccination campaigns.

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING

During the COVID-19 pandemic, B Medical Systems has been actively supporting governments worldwide in the establishment of their vaccine responses, by supporting the establishment of a reliable and versatile vaccine cold chain able to meet any storage temperature requirement.

B Medical Systems is a key player in these large-scale vaccination efforts as it provides the necessary medical cold chain solutions to guarantee the safety of the thermosensitive vaccines being used. The company offers a multitude of products to ensure that biologicals such as vaccines, medicines, samples such as blood and its components, and chemical compounds are safe throughout all the distribution stages until the last mile.

“The demand for our products increased dramatically. We invested extensively in increasing our manufacturing capacity by expanding our production plant in Luxembourg and establishing a new one in India. Furthermore, we implemented a number of initiatives to ensure that supply chain delays wouldn’t affect our production, enabling us to respond to the customer demands in the shortest lead time. We were able to assist COVID-19 immunization efforts all across the world as a result of this, sometimes providing entire countries’ national healthcare services with the medical cold chain solutions they required.” explains the CEO.

A MATTER OF PRIDE

“B Medical Systems is one of the first and still very few companies to receive the EU MDR certification for their active refrigeration product lines across its Medical Refrigeration and Blood Management Solutions product lines. We take pride in being one of the few companies in the world to have an end-to-end refrigeration solution which is certified by EU MDR on top of the US FDA, and to also provide Vaccine Cold Chain solutions which are WHO PQS certified.” shares Mr. Jesal Doshi, the CEO of B Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd.

UNINTERRUPTED SERVICES IN REMOTE LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT BACKED BY BASIC AMENITIES:

Keeping vaccines at the proper temperature has always been difficult, but it is even more so in remote regions. These communities can be difficult to reach because they are located far away from 27

you want, how much time, the quality you are looking for in the candidate- are the tools that help you to make the right choice of the recruitment agency you want. This is one of the 5 simple tips for choosing the right recruitment agency.

DO RESEARCH Doing research before making any decision to choose any recruitment agency is the first and most important step. Research allows you to find an agency that facilitates stability with you so your candidates don’t have to deal with someone new every time they meet. When you perform research you get to know about their staff and can see who is the top recruiter and how is their account manager tenure looks like. It is impossible to make a deal with someone who can’t show stability; hence, you should keep it into consideration. This is one of the 5 simple tips for choosing the right recruitment agency.

CHECK THE EXPERIENCE OF THE RECRUITER In this process, you will get to know how much experience the agency has in bringing the right candidates for you. By checking the testimonials, feedback given by clients with whom they are working gives you an estimation of how long they are doing this business. You can also compare the quality of their work with the best agency so you can select the best recruiter. The agency with many years of experience is so much better in comparison to the new one as the work experience is counted by the time they delivered in this field. This is one of the 5 simple tips for choosing the right recruitment agency.

INTERVIEW THE RECRUITMENT AGENCY This is one of the necessary steps as it helps you to choose the right recruitment agency with whom you will be comfortable which fits your criteria. Taking an interview also lets you know that the agency you are hiring is capable to provide you with the candidates that you are looking for. Take the interview of the agency just like an interview with the candidates by asking some questions like do they already have candidates, how much time they take to find the right candidates. This will give you the idea of the capability of the agency they can meet your needs or not. This is another one of the 5 simple tips for choosing the right recruitment agency.

MAKE SURE SERVICES ARE UNDER YOUR BUDGET Keeping your budget under consideration before dealing with or hiring any recruitment agency is the smart choice. As there are both types of agencies- the one who brought you many candidates but is out of your budget and the other who also brought almost the same number of candidates and also falls within your budget expectations. The first one is not a good choice for you if your budget is low as it only puts pressure on your shoulder to fulfil their fee demands that will be a waste of time too. Therefore, it is better to choose your best wisely. This is the last one of our 5 simple tips for choosing the right recruitment agency.

DISCUSS STRATEGY AND EXPECTATIONS Here, you will ask your recruitment agency about their candidates hiring strategies and techniques. Some of the agencies used pre-screening tests to know that the candidates are as skilled as they claim to be, giving you an insight into their candidate recruitment process. It is the better choice to talk about your expectations from them like how many candidates

-recruitment agency

The prime role of such agencies is to focus on serving the clients- in case, no candidate is hired then no fee is charged for zero outcomes. Such agencies are seasoned players in this sector as their contacts are with both- employers as well as applicants. So, reach out to such service providers who will give you valuable insights and life-changing advice.

The Indian Premier League (IPL), arguably the biggest franchise-based T20 cricket tournament in the world, certainly gets bigger and grander with the addition of two new teams. IPL is the world’s largest T20 cricket league, with a perfect blend of cricket, Bollywood, and big money. Corporate India is linked to the IPL, allowing IPL owners to make millions of dollars. Winning the IPL is vital, but the franchise’s success is not only depending on it. The IPL’s main business strategy is to invite private corporations to purchase cricket franchises. When franchises were sold at a high price, companies imagined value in investing in key components of Indian cricket. This is the source of the funds.

EXAMPLE •

CVC Capital Partners (British private equity and investment advisory firm) paid around $736 million for the new franchise Gujarat titans.

•

RPSG, a conglomerate owned by Sanjiv Goenka, paid around $964 million for the new Lucknow team.

ABOUT IPL BUSINESS MODEL IPL’s strong business strategy is not just depending on ticket sales. They make big because they have many additional sources of income through which they can support themselves. The IPL tournament franchise has become a major business asset. It allows businesses to market and publicise their products and services widely. They can simply generate money and continue the IPL as a result of this.

HOW DO IPL TEAM OWNERS MAKE MONEY? MEDIA RIGHTS The media rights that BCCI sells to broadcasters bring in a lot of money for the organisation. In 2017, Star India spent 16,347 crores to secure IPL broadcasting rights for a five-year period. This equates to about 60 crores for every IPL match. BCCI shares these media rights with all 10 teams.

SPONSORSHIP Sponsorship is the most important source of income for IPL franchises. If we look at any IPL team’s uniform, we can find a plethora of different brand logos. The logo on the player’s jersey and the advertisement on the boundary ropes, among other things. These brand businesses pay the teams big money to promote their brands.

MERCHANDISING Teams receive a considerable amount of money from merchandising. It covers the sale of jersey copies, sports memorabilia, caps, kits, and T-shirts of all teams.

SELLING STAKE The IPL franchisees also profit handsomely from the sale of team shares. Delhi Capitals is a recent example. The GMR company purchased this IPL franchise for 84 million dollars in 2008. Jindal South West (JSW) purchased a 50% share in the club for 77 million dollars in 2018.

TICKET SALES/GATE REVENUE Ticket sales revenue is one of the most important sources of income for IPL clubs. Ticket sales are anticipated to account for 15% of the total revenue generated by IPL franchises. They depend a lot on this source of income.

Ticket pricing is set by the team’s owners. Sponsors and the BCCI get a little share of the tickets, while the remainder goes into the team’s pocket.

IPL PRICE MONEY IPL prize money is another source of income for IPL franchises. Teams are awarded prize money based on their position in the points table. CSK won the VIVO IPL 2021 and received a prize of 20 crores. Similarly, KKR was awarded 12.5 crores for finishing second. The prize money for the IPL is allocated in this manner.

STALL RENTAL The stalls that feed fans during games are given on a contract basis to a third party, who then sub-contracts them. This is usually a fixed term for fixed money that each team collects on per stall per match basis.

PLAYER TRADING Every year, at the IPL auction, a transfer window is provided for a set amount of time. Teams are allowed to exchange players with other franchises during this trade window. This means that talented players are traded for good ones with some money as compensation. Shikhar Dhawan, for example, was one of the most high-profile players to exchange teams ahead of the IPL Auction 2019. The left-handed hitter joined the Delhi Capitals after leaving the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise. In exchange, DC sent Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem, and Abhishek Sharma to SRH. The exchange benefited DC because Dhawan was a standout performer for them over three seasons, whereas the three players moved away by the Capitals did not play regularly for SRH.

BRAND VALUE How IPL franchises make money is also influenced by the brand value of their teams. A team with a large number of star players has a high brand value. RCB’s brand image is enhanced by players like Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers, and others. Mumbai Indians were named the most valuable IPL team in 2020, with a brand value of 761 crores. CSK surpassed MI in terms of brand value a few days ago, becoming the first IPL team to reach a billion-dollar valuation. In comparison to other IPL teams, the team that performs better gains more brand value.
