We cannot do great things on this Earth, Only small things with great love.

The moment we are born; we have achieved a
marvelous gift of life. From there on, everything we do, try to do while surviving till the moment we cease to exist, is an achievement in itself. Now, it is up to us to maximize and capitalize on our moments of triumph or to be minuscule particles of sand in the infinite sands of time.
Lifelong learning is the best way to increase the odds in our favour. Then keeping our minds hungry for education, open for innovation, receptive to evolutionary synapses, and adaptive to the changing currents of ages leads us to achieve our goal. Not everyone has a final aim. Aimlessness is the way by which one can wander in this wilderland for ages and accomplish the record of counting for nothing.
Or one can live for just over 86 years like Albert Einstein and revolutionize humankind through his lifetime of monumental achievements. More than intelligence, it is innate curiosity, desire, drive, and a passionate dream which compels an individual to progress on their path to success.
Again, although success is a subjective term, defined differently by everybody, a common thread running through all personal endeavours is that at a certain point in their journey they convert all their hardship and struggle of
sustenance into an achievement that glows like a star and shines like a nebula, the illuminating of which bursts out to erasing all the bounds around it and enlightens the hearts and enchants the minds of the onlooker.
All those immersed in the glory, mesmerized by the saga, and awed by the aura agree collectively to award those achievers ‘Lifetime Achievement Award 2022,’ from the bottom of their hearts. Taking their unsaid gratitude as a wish, the Insights Success team decided to bring out such exemplary tales of Individuals who by their transcendental entrepreneurial force have disrupted the realms of glamour.
You will find their stories and two trendy articles written by our in-house editorial team immensely gratifying and rewarding you with a gift of a vision anew to look at your own journey and strive for perfection in your future industry.
Have a warm reading journey that will rekindle the flame of enterprising in your hearts and extraordinary dreams in your minds, Enjoy!

Quaxil- QUICK Academy–a fun and educational game-based environment where kids experience a refreshingly unique kind of learning.
Prof VK Lakshmanan Nair, Managing Director
Achild’s brain is a cosmic academy of newly born
hundred billion neurons, hungry for learning. All through its early development stage, this young cosmic graph– reflecting the starry milky way –is racing to mirror the breadth and depth infinitum of universal knowledge. And that’s what QUICK ( Qu axil I ncubator for C reative K ids) aims in budding young minds.
In its race to the wisdom mountain, this eternal form of pure energy bundled into white matter moulds itself according to the stimuli it receives and responses erupting in its subconscious rhythm.
The toddler’s brain is learning in the environment it exists resonating with its teachers’ direct, indirect, positive, and negative teachings. Everyone and everything around the baby is teaching it something or other, shaping its experiences, perspectives, and foundational mindsets for the future.
Although children are our future, their future depends on the kind of learning environment we as parents, guardians, mentors, well-wishers, teachers, influencers, caregivers, and adults responsible nurtures for them to flourish or fail.
The responsibility is humongous. The natural force of a child’s creatively hungriest mind is as pure and innocent as
the ethereal purity and delicate innocence of the divine consciousness streaming through the spacetime continuum of eternity.
As– according to the Big Bang theory –after its creation, during the inflationary epoch, the ultimate force expanded −32 into the universal matter in just about 10-second torque, the youngling’s brain expands in a similar way learning and grasping everything in a short period up to eight years of the child’s age.
Thus, if pressurized insensitively, burdened overwhelmingly, bored endlessly, taught uncreatively, and traumatized frequently, a kid’s brain has a high chance of getting comatose. The learning-hungry brain’s delicate nature demands a fast-paced, sensitive, caring, and funloving approach, which enables blossoming kids’ creativity.
Traditional schooling, catering to the masses–including both public and private–at large mostly overlooks this aspect making the learning experience tedious, repetitive, unpassionate, and completely devoid of fun. Furthermore, it is like a slow torcher for the kiddy students, who crave for fun-learning in Quaxil - QUICK Academy –a fun and educational game-based environment where kids experience a refreshingly unique kind of learning.
The academy is registered under the name of Quaxil Consultants Private Limited and has been incorporated in the year 2017, with its registered office in Thrissur, Kerala, India.

The divide is not only digital. The divide is a chronological constant of positive change and its widespread resistance. This divide can only be bridged by the transcendental power of education. Education does not mean learning generations their letters –instead it means empowering them with the knowledge and wisdom of eons through the streaming of concurrent times. India has always been the land of globally renowned learned wise philosophers and scientists including, Ÿ
Aryabhata (mathematician – the discoverer of zero, physicist, and astronomer), Ÿ Panini (Sanskrit philologist, Grammarian, and Scholar),
Bhaskaracharya (mathematician and astronomer),
Charaka (Father of Indian Medicine),
Swami Vivekananda (World renowned Indian Philosopher),
Rabindranath Tagore (World renowned Polymath, Creator of the Indian Anthem),
Meghnad Saha (globally renowned astrophysicist and the developer of the Saha Ionization equation),
Srinivasa Ramanujan (The Royal Society of London’s Fellow Mathematician), Ÿ CV Raman (Nobel prize in physics in 1930 and recipient of first-ever Bharat Ratna),
Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis (Father of Modern Statistics), Ÿ Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar (Father of the Indian Constitution), Ÿ Har Gobind Khorana (Nobel prize winner in 1968),
Subrahmanyan Chandrashekhar (Nobel Prize Winner of 1983), Ÿ Vikram Sarabhai (Father of the Indian Space Program), Ÿ Homi Jahangir Bhabha (Father of the Indian Nuclear Program), Ÿ APJ Abdul Kalam (The Missile Man of India and Bharat Ratna recipient), etc.
To bridge the vast divide and ensure that the list of wise Indians continues in the future, CA Raj K Agrawal, the Founder and CEO has taken upon himself the humongous responsibility of transforming India by educating Bharat with the establishment of Study At Home Pvt Ltd , a Virtual Learning and Educational Academy, in 2018, long before anyone thought in this regard.
A brilliant student throughout his studies, Raj always topped in his classes, “I was the winner at all competitions
and an AIR in CA. I could not leave my love for education, and I started teaching immediately after my CA final exams .”
These tremendous achievements and his teaching style gave Raj an upper hand in teaching and a fillip in his career. Since then he has been teaching finance to Pan-India students of professional courses.
Raj made an astute observation during his education that the best coaching was available to the students of metropolitan cities only. Students from non-metro cities missed this opportunity altogether due to high tuition fees and the cost of living in metros. The times were unripe for online education. Yet, to level the playing field, Raj decided to begin the all-inclusive mission of online education and thus was born Study At Home.
Raj states , “I started this mission as a one-man army, and today I have my battalion of young minds with amazing skill sets who are working together to uplift students from non-metro, tier-2, tier-3 cities, towns, and even villages.” Raj and his Study At Home team believe that when it comes to education, your dedication and quality of content must be on top priority. Apart from it, the lecture delivering style and building personal connections with students leads you to be excellent in the industry.
Raj further believes that we have 90% Bharat and just 10% India, and he aims to educate that 90% of Bharat. The Bharat, who speaks in Hindi, and learns in Hindi. The Bharat, where 57% of the population earns less than ₹10,000 per month. The Bharat, who gave birth to all the earlier stated and many more generations of legends.
Raj imbibed several essential values very early on in his life: A clear vision, honesty, genuine compassion,
We aim to educate . BHARAT
dedication to deliver before deadlines, excelling in quality and commitments, and life-long learning habits to constantly better oneself.
Moreover, his optimistic approach and risk-taking ability have always been admired; for Raj, be it a success or failure, his optimism never dies and his creativity and ability to execute are important. He believes if his idea doesn’t solve the problem of millions of people, he cannot grow.
Raj shares, “My self-belief, my perseverance is paramount. I always make everyone understand that achieving goals never means goals set by others; one should set their own benchmarks and try to push them every day to become the best version of themselves.”
His willingness to learn; all entrepreneurs need to learn from other businesses and people, especially from small startups and other entrepreneurs too. “As it is really difficult to keep up the growth and there is no age of learning,” feels Raj.
Offering online education most simply and differing from very hi-tech players in the market, is an Study At Home
EdTech firm committed to delivering within students´ reach and capacity with very affordable pricing. That is why they are delivering High-Quality Recorded Video Lectures, unlike live classes. Study At Home’s video contents can be downloaded with a dedicated Support System once purchased.
It gives internet-free access to studies at the students’ convenience. The virtual academy also has e-books and AIenabled test series, which are continuously upgraded. You can also find skill development courses delivered by celebrities. Raj and his team assimilate India's Top Faculties to give a User-Friendly Experience with 24x7 Support. Raj shares , “National Start-Up Award 2021 in Education and Skill Development category as a winner proves our worth in the industry and speaks of our success without us saying something.”
Talking about Study At Home’s USP, Raj says that there are many.
Ÿ Study At Home’s windows-based video lecture does not require internet connectivity.
Ÿ
The test series it offers is AI-enabled. Also, it has test series for 1400+ exams.
Ÿ
It offers lectures at just ₹50/ Month, which can be
Ÿ
afforded by lower and lower-middle-class people also in rural areas as well. Hence, lowest price in the entire EdTech space.
It provides all four categories under one roof, Academic, Government Competitive, Professional, and Skill Development Courses too.
Ÿ It has created this business with almost nil resources. It knows how to make optimum utilization of resources and funds too.
Ÿ Well, its Technology is very user-friendly and superfine in such a way that there is just one student out of 500 who needs technological support.
Ÿ IP rights of 95% of its offerings.
Ÿ In-house technology development team.
StudyAtHome.org is a leading EdTech company dedicated to providing quality pre-recorded lectures for Class 8 to 12, CA, CS, CMA, JEE, NEET, Banking, SSC, Railway, CLAT, Tally, Stock Market, Excel, PPT, etc.
It has the backing of several years of experience in shaping the world of Education.
It is on the cusp of modern trends, new technologies, and new ways to deliver education effectively and creatively. One can also prepare from the Best in the Comfort of their Home for Skill Development, Academic Exams, Professional Exams, and Competitive Exams.
Knowledge is not just profit but an asset . To keep assets free from depreciating, one needs to consistently upgrade them and add more value. “We understand this philosophy very well and so execute it. Our knowledge resourcing team is in continuous endeavours to create the best faculty pool for us.
On the other hand, our dedicated content development team is also updating and editing both online and offline content to make it easier and more interesting with the richest of its value. We always keep in mind the affordability and accessibility of our content,” says Raj
As Raj mentioned earlier, Study At Home also has skill development courses made completely in-house, which has the greatest demand all across the country.
“As we are working forth for it, you will soon see more and more unique and most demanded videos coming forth from industry leaders and personalities,” expresses Raj
Apart from that, the Study At Home School and College offerings, which are absolutely Free of cost to schools and colleges, has been a mega-hit with teachers. Given the pandemic challenges, this solution has served a perfect need of the hour for schools wanting to enable quality online learning for their students. So far, it has many schools and colleges that are benefitting from it. It provides skill development courses to them, which they don't have in their curriculum.
Raj expresses , “As a brand, we have grown, and we have managed to reach out to the smallest of cities in India, and I guess that made us stand in today’s knowledge economy.”
According to Raj, advanced modern technologies are creating a new feel. Face to face study model has no
alternative, but online platforms are pivotally doing bigger penetration amongst the target market.
Technologies like AI, ML, XR, etc., are bringing well this experience by creating a virtual face-to-face education experience at home. Even much more like teacher access, study material access, library access, repertory-based model, going back and forth in lectures, and even accessing other lectures in real-time.
Talking about technology enhancement – Automation in customer support, the advanced user interface on the website, and other technical support that has been outsourced, will now be created in-house.
Advancing to the charge over Study At Home learning app – Completely revamped and high-level security of the app. The app will also be available to access in different languages. Raj adds, “We will also add some features for gamification; Gamification elements add flavour and fun to learning, encouraging more frequent interactions with the training.” Advance in-app communication as interactions with online instructors will also be more direct and frequent, which helps students resolve issues fast and move on.
“ Our in-house team is working on this, and very soon, we will be in an online space with a difference . Our only wish is to make competitive education not just affordable and accessible, but also simple and understandable so that Young India's tomorrow is secured creatively ,” concludes Raj

She started her entrepreneurial journey at the end of 2016 by establishing Hebe Skin Hair and Laser Clinic. Since then, there has been no looking back for her by the grace of The Almighty.
Her professional journey started with her affiliation with a few aesthetic and wellness organizations of repute nationally and internationally. She worked for many years as an employee but did not feel a kick. Somewhere at the back of her mind, she desired to be a job provider rather than a job seeker all her life. She started her own setup in 2016. The process was scary, but the desire to reach the height of a wellknown woman entrepreneur kept pushing her. Having no experience of a business in the market but a wholesome portfolio of skills, knowledge, and talent, she moved on.
She started her venture during the era of demonetization, struggled at every step, surmounted hardships, faced criticisms, got mocked by people, and laughed at her guts; however, she survived it all, built her castle with the stones pelted on her, rose to the sky with the continuous upgradation of her skills and know-how, became a big hitter with her reverend presence at various events as a jury or a guest and, still, her remarkable odyssey continues with a profound legacy.
Hebe Skin, Hair and Laser Clinic was incepted in 2016 in the middle of the historic demonetization in India. The clinic was opened in October, a few days before November 8th. Initially, the clinic operated in Panchsheel Enclave and shifted to Malviya Nagar later.
Hebe offers a gamut of treatments ranging from skincare, laser, anti-ageing, dermatology, liposuction, facial aesthetics, hair transplant, and hair restoration to weight management and many more.

In the field of aesthetics, I am known as Dr Nisha, although the documents pronounce it as Dr Maimun Nessa. I am a practicing aesthetics physician and a trichologist working both in and outside India. With time, I have accumulated a bunch of certificates, diplomas, degrees, and fellowships. Our national institutes and the international ones have contributed to my academic and technical enhancements.
I conferred my bachelor's degree in yoga and naturopathy before earning an MD and PhD. I also am a diplomate in Aesthetic Medicine from Ayuesthetics in Pune and in Meso Therapy and Facial Injectables from the Institute of Medical Aesthetics in Dubai. I also have a PG diploma in Trichology and Hair Transplantation from ILAMED in Griefswald, Germany.
Besides, I am a recipient of practical pieces of training from some of the top doctors and surgeons in the world, both domestically and abroad, and have participated in countless workshops, again both inside and outside the country. I have certifications in Facial Aesthetics and Injectables from the North American Board of Aesthetic Medicine in the United States and from Prime Medical in Dubai to my credentials.
Moving further, I also have a Hands-on dual accreditation in Hair Transplant Surgery from the Institute of Medical Aesthetics, Cosmetology and Acupuncture in Mauritius and Trinity Aesthetic Academy in Mumbai. Hebe has given me the shot, which helped me land on foreign soils with my online and offline training services. Hebe is not just a business for me. It is my strength – the strength of a woman; and the strength of all those beautiful and gorgeous women who have become part of this cavalcade and to many more who are in the queue.
I had a dream since childhood that I would someday have my own business, and I dared to dream that with open eyes. My past work experiences in various organizations provided me with a platform to meet different people and explore the industry deeply. I started realising the profuse requirements of women and acknowledged them. With each passing day, my dreams began to take form gradually.
My passion to dip myself in a deep sea of beauty and paving the way for others to take a shot too grew stronger in me. I felt that all women have exclusive rights to look good, feel good, pose good and be good. Someone was just needed to hold their hands and lead them the way. And I asked a question from myself – why not become that person?
I can proudly say that my firm is that place where bestcustomised services and treatments and one-to-one focus are placed; that too at very affordable prices as compared to the competitors present in the market. This strategy has helped me a great deal in combating my competitors.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that my interest in aesthetics, an obsession with beauty, and my devotion to providing the patrons with the best solutions to their problems helped me carve out a niche for me. This was made possible by my continuous endeavour to learn about the best and most advanced technologies and bring them to the table while updating my skills without a halt.
In my opinion, I have a habit, or you can say that I am very adamant about not to let go of my clients until they are given the desired results, even if they cave in. It may be a possibility that my clients like my "Never Give Up" attitude. I am a person devoid of ego games. My position and my skills never come in my way while dealing with a client. Another thing I recall is that many clients of mine have told me at times that they felt good about my way of dealing with them, that I cater for them professionally but always have a personal touch in it.
I feel lucky to operate during a time when technology has so much developed that work has become very easy. My clinic is equipped with advanced machines glorifying the era of artificial intelligence. The advanced equipment and high-end technologies help majorly in the proper and accurate diagnosis of the problems as per the clients' skin type or hair type. These technical advancements have helped me immensely in treating my patients with ample ease.
Even though the latest technologies have made work faster and easier, the market's cut-throat competition and price wars have become serious issues of concern. This price disparity has confused the clients a great deal.
Many clients who come to us are unaware of the treatments and their effects. They accumulate incomplete information from unauthentic sources and believe them. As the saying goes, 'A little knowledge is dangerous.' The fragmented information and inaccurate presumptions present them as slaughtered goats to many firms who exploit their condition and take advantage of it.
At Hebe, we try to counsel such people even if they do not seem to be a prospect for the business. We try to give our best in furnishing them with authentic information about the treatments. Moreover, to give them a hands-on experience and create faith in them, we initially provide them with one or two free treatment sessions.
To all the young budding entrepreneurs, it is my sincere advice that to become successful in your field; you first need to take expertise in your desirous skills. Continuous update of those skills is the next step. Be patient, forget about the number of games, and focus on brand creation. Eventually, the success will be yours.
With six years of experience as an entrepreneur, I have achieved a few things with time. Two clinics have been opened and are operating simultaneously in two areas of Delhi itself. A continuous add-on of modern technologies has been a regular thing in my business. Famous celebrities of Bollywood are my client.
My training centre in the city is doing fabulous work providing cosmetology training to people. My firm has been successful in creating employment, though at a small level. But to accelerate it, we are further planning to open more branches in and outside India and give the franchise to the interested as well.
Not to boast of, but my achievements can be measured in terms of recognition my firm has received in the form of awards given to me. Recently, I received honors from Bollywood divas Shilpa Shetty, Lara Dutta, and Ameesha Patel, including the Brand Icon Award, International Glory Award, and National Icon Award for Best Aesthetician and Trichologist.
Recovering steadily from the pandemic, smart business leaders have rightly identified the market
scenario and have timely implemented the necessary changes in the business strategies that have propelled the organizations into a growth mode. It takes a lot of understanding, research, and thought-applied decision-making that helps in cascading the business into the right dimension. It is not just about sustainability or growth; it is working on developing macroscopic objectives through the micro-level implementation for the complete transformation of the business environment. The leaders are preparing the business culture towards a self-sustaining modern business ecosystem. Let’s identify some key differentiators that have contributed to the acceleration in the phenomenal progress of modern business organizations.
In the modern age of digital transformation and technologies getting upgraded rapidly, it is necessary for business organizations to adapt themselves to the changing background of the diverse business arena. Working on individual software systems on a LAN has become passe. Advanced cloud-based applications and systems that operate high-speed fibre optic networks on wireless protocols have changed the complete structure of today’s business.
The latest applications in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have transformed the business world. A recent study identified that approximately 31% of companies are implementing AI already, while around 43% are on their route toward AI implementation. AI applications have proved to boost productivity, enhance efficiency, significantly lower costs, and create new avenues in new product implementation, services, and markets.
Digital technology has totally changed the complete aspect of communication, making it fast, convenient, and efficient. Digital marketing, especially social media, has offered multiple advantages of speed, economy, flexibility, precise control, and greater efficacy. Apart from social media, blogs and YouTube offer solid client engagement, feedback, and direct sharing through a simple link further to their network, magnifying the reach of the marketing message.
A dynamic, responsive website is the most happening business address of the new-age organizations. The in-built plugins of chat windows, e-commerce payment gateways, and direct links to the various social media platforms have boosted communication and streamlined the organic spread of marketing messages. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Social Media Marketing (SMM) have logically helped in linking the websites to google search results, thereby attracting the natural flow of website visits and genuine inquiries. It has also contributed to generating an authentic database with analytical survey reports.
Opportunities Organizations function when the supporting infrastructure is aligned with its goals and objectives. Leaders make an in-depth study of the workplace and reorganize the structure with the objective of synchronizing the process flow for smoothening the operations. This includes placement of the machines, employee workstations, material flow process, collection, processing, and delivery.
Experts have identified that there is a remarkable 28% increase in productivity through a well-organized business setup. There is homogeneity, harmony, and balance developed in all the departments.
Gearing up for the growth objectives of a steadily evolving business, the leaders should prepare the organizational structure and the business model in such a way that it should support the growing volume of work through the same set of current resources. This adaptability is very carefully and consciously laid out with clear working strategies.
With all the combinations, seasonal bubbles, or international collaborations, the business infrastructure will
be well-prepared to take up the assignments and modify the current working format, which will be flexible and adaptable to the changing requirements. The better preparation of the management, the stronger will the organization is for embracing the opportunities of bigger and higher challenges. As the organization successfully delivers high-volume contracts, it energizes the entire workforce with confidence and a deeper understanding of the market scenario. It expands the organization’s brand prowess in wider global destinations.
As the business scope expands, the leaders identify all the avenues to facilitate a smooth and well-tuned response system in all the dimensions of the business. The state-ofthe-art infrastructure powered by advanced technologies has triggered rapid business communication, transactions, and virtual meetings. The electronic payment gateways have been instrumental through the dynamic plug-ins that have mobilized fast transactions across numerous process applications.
Building greater transparency and accountability, business across global collaborations are strengthened on mutually beneficial operating platforms, further enhancing trust and confidence for higher and wider business sectors.
A smart amalgamation of global opportunities with local talent and infrastructure. It so happens that certain types of facilities are not available everywhere but are essential in business governance. Business leaders smartly optimize their efficiency by planning in advance, preparing the teams for upcoming requirements, and organizing the resources. It becomes a simple and effective way of exploring the local resources for serving global customers on time.
