Editor’s Note 2020’s Most Stoic Entrepreneurs: Market Players Who’ve Shown Consistent Advancement in R & D

I

n the past few years, many industries have shown rapid advancement on the R & D front, doling out several breakthrough products and technologies that’ve not only changed lives but also created a paradigmshift within the market. This is especially true for the pharmaceutical and IT industries, wherein several entrepreneurs have invested huge amounts of money and resources in R & D initiatives. One such entrepreneur is Dr. Janak Sheth, Owner & CEO of Century Pharmaceuticals. In the face of the pandemic, Dr. Janak has persistently catered to the medical needs of his customers by producing safe anti-viral drugs. Furthermore, his brand is planning on introducing 4 innovative products this year, all of which have extensive R & D behind their formulation. Dr. Janak is the very definition of a ingenious entrepreneur – a market player who’s astute at turning market uncertainties into opportunities. Another such example is Mr. Laszlo Dellei, CEO of Kerubiel. Despite such trying times, Mr. Laszlo hasn’t deterred from his vision of transforming the global cybersecurity scenario. His brand is constantly improving the quality of its IT solutions across various facets like Data Privacy, ICTs Information Security, etc. In addition to this, he’s also started offering AI-Based Tailored Solutions to clients, such as AI-based claim management and financial solutions. These reformative steps have spurred many others in the industry to follow suit. While most of us may not be high-ranking CEOs, we can definitely take some inspiration from these entrepreneurs and imbibe their desirable qualities. Firstly, we should adopt their visionary mindset, which would be our driving force amid challenging times. Secondly, we must have an inventive nature – a desire to create something novel out of available tools and resources. These two traits alone will account for 75% of all entrepreneurial success. They’ll also help us mould a staunch character, which is truly the most valuable asset a person has.

Wishing all readers a Prosperous End to the Year,

Century Pharmaceuticals Ltd: Mr. Janak Sheth’s Goal to Provide Quality Healthcare Products to All Indians

I

ndia’s healthcare scenario has undergone massive transformation in the past few years. There’s a growing need for potent, quality medicines that cause fewer side effects, which has spurred pharmaceutical companies to invest heavily into R & D. While earlier only the big brands took the credit for producing innovative drugs, recently, even the smaller ones have pioneered breakthrough reforms in the industry. Century Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is one such brand which has a host of drug innovations to its name. A brainchild of Mr. Janak Sheth, the brand was established back in 1980 with the purpose of manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients. Initially, it offered only two products to its customers. Today, 40 years since its inception, the brand has attained exponential growth in not just its product offerings but also its market outreach. Century Pharmaceuticals currently produces 40 different products across a broad spectrum of drug categories, and exports them to 60 countries worldwide. Besides this, the brand has also established a WHO GMP Plant with zero discharge.

Mr. Janak Sheth’s Inspiring Entrepreneurship Journey

Undoubtedly, the most inspiring elements of an entrepreneur’s success story are his struggles and challenges along the journey. They enrich us with hope, wisdom, and also the motivation to hold steadfast to our goals in the face of adversity. Mr. Janak Sheth’s Entrepreneurship journey too was filled with trials and tribulations, many of which are responsible for moulding his staunch character today. He graduated from IIT Delhi in 1976 as a chemical engineer. Soon afterwards, he joined a multinational pharmaceuticals company, wherein he had to design, install, and run a plant overseas. During the course of this job role, Mr. Janak Sheth acquired all the knowledge and technical acumen that was needed for running a company. After about 4 years, he quit the job and started his own unit, with 95% of its finances being covered by government loans. Initially, Mr. Janak had to endure a lot of difficulties since he had no prior experience in business. Furthermore, he was operating on a very low capital, which made it hard to sustain the business for long. However, despite the daunting circumstances, Mr. Janak persevered and after three years of struggle, he finally paid back all the loans he’d taken from the government much ahead of time. The company has been growing ever since, continually expanding its clientele at both national and international levels. It has also managed to secure a long-term relationship with all its Dr. Janak clients, retaining most of

How Mr. Janak Keeps Pace With Changing Market Trends

Owing to the abundance of information on the Internet, it’s very easy for one to keep up-to-date with the latest market trends. Mr. Janak has subscribed to the mailing list of several national and international technology magazines, journals. He feels that this is a great way of keeping up with the latest changes in the market. Apart from this, he is also a part of numerous industry groups and chambers of commerce, wherein he gets to interact with fellow industrialists about the changing

12


markets. He and his team also regularly participate in national and international exhibitions. This helps them increase brand awareness and connect with potential customers in focused markets.

which enables a continuity of efficient operations.

How Mr. Janak Strikes a Work-Life Balance

Being the CEO of a large organization, Mr. Janak has a very busy professional life. He has to travel to various countries to meet his customers. Fortunately, his family is very supportive of his work and has managed to accommodate to his hectic schedule. They usually combine the customer visits with small breaks in those countries. His wife is also a part of the business and looks after the company’s factory. He also enjoys a very active social life with friends and family. He’s associated with several industry groups and chambers of commerce wherein he has held key positions. He has also held leadership positions in various social organisations in which he contributed to the lower sections of the society. All in all, Mr. Janak does a fine job of juggling his personal and professional life – a task which seems challenging to most entrepreneurs.

Century Pharmaceuticals’ R & D Initiatives

Mr. Janak believes that in India, most organizations neglect R & D and focus a majority of their resources/ capital on production. This is quite counterproductive in the long run, as a brand’s products are unable to meet the ever-changing market demands. Consequently, they become obsolete after a short period of time. Century Pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, has always kept a sharp focus on R & D. It has continually improved its processes and developed new products. In 2008, the brand ventured into the research of a novel recombinant protein for the treatment of Asthma and allergies. The brand also worked on a research boutique concept wherein it did research on a certain molecule. After establishing the proof of the concept, it out licensed it to a big pharma company. Furthermore, the brand has established invivo proof of concept and is working on a vital proof of concept so that it can out license the Asthma molecule as well. Currently, Century Pharmaceuticals’ R & D Team is engaged in stem cell therapies and in the development of personalised cancer treatment with a targeted therapy approach which promises no side effects. Although these are long-term investments, Mr. Janak feels that even if one of the projects comes to fruition, the company will gain huge benefits.

Mr. Janak’s Thoughts on Today’s CEOs

Mr. Janak believes that each CEO is unique and doesn’t face any competition, as such. He is alone in his quest to drive his organization, and has to constantly compete with himself to bring about self-improvement. The vision, drive, and motivation provided by the CEO is the fuel of any organization’s growth. For this reason, CEOs should be asked to compete on select parameters on a forum. This would constantly motivate them to excel in all areas of their job. The concept would work exceptionally well in a country like India, where CEOs play a pivotal role in the company’s operations. Furthermore, he says that it’s necessary for today’s CEOs to have utmost belief in their company’s success. Since a CEO is at the helm of a company, his mind should be completely free from any doubts. In case the CEO has some doubts in mind, he should immediately consult and resolve it with his colleagues, or hire a consultant for the same. Altruism, according to Mr. Janak, is another quality that today’s CEOs must possess to be successful. Unless a CEO gives importance to the wellbeing and betterment of others, he can’t be an effective leader. Moreover, helping others with their issues might help him resolve his own issues! This is why Mr. Janak likes to help fellow industrialists with their problems. It not only benefits

Why Mr. Janak Gives Utmost Importance to the Wellbeing of His Employees

According to Mr. Janak, employees are the greatest asset of any organization. By keeping them motivated and focused on their work, the company can dramatically boost its performance. So as to create an un uplifting work environment, he urges all the employees to share their success stories in the office. Not only does this keep their spirits high, but also fosters healthy competition amid the employees. Each one feels motivated to outperform his/her colleague. He also ensures that all his subordinates take particular care of each employee’s unique needs. With employee contentment comes lower turnover of people in the organization. This creates stability in the workforce,

13


them but also broadens his perspective in the process. When asked about who his source of motivation is, Mr. Janak said that he looks up to a very successful CEO who’s running a much larger company than his. The person, who happens to be a friend of his, has achieved a lot of distinctions in the industry and is revered by many. Whenever Mr. Janak encounters a perplexing dilemma, he makes it a point to first seek advice from his CEO friend. He implicitly trusts their guidance and wisdom.

growing economy with a bright future. The entire world is looking at India and its GDP growth. The responsibility to grow our company lies with us. If we grow, so will our country. We should take our job role as a CEO seriously and contribute not only in terms of revenue but also added profits to the national economy. We must be a 5 trilliondollar economy soon. All of us should work towards this goal, as it’ll help us become the third largest economy of the world within the next 5 – 10 years.”

Mr. Janak’s Altruistic Endeavours

Mr. Janak Sheth feels that his brand has attained great financial success over the years, so consequently, it’s his duty to give back to the society. He and his team have invested a lot of efforts in the upliftment of rural people and infrastructure. The brand’s factory is located in a rural setup and most of its workforce comes from neighbouring villages. Hence, it does most of its CSR activities in these villages. These activities are mostly focused on the improvement of water quality and sanitation measures in the villages, such as the construction of overhead tanks, eco-friendly toilets, etc. Apart from such initiatives, the brand also actively works towards the improvement of infrastructure in village schools. This creates a better learning environment for rural students, enabling them to study with ease.

Mr. Janak’s Plans For The Future

Being on a steady growth path, Century Pharmaceuticals is slowly expanding its geographical outreach by catering to newer markets. It is adopting a systematic approach to execute its plan of action. This year, Century Pharmaceuticals’ R & D department has planned on introducing 4 new products. The company currently boasts of a wide range of products, and Mr. Janak feels it’s about time he starts cross selling their products with existing customers. The company’s great performance with existing customers has earned it numerous references. Many new customers are seeking the company’s services, which has further strengthened its reputation in the market.

Mr. Janak Sheth Message to the Readers of Prime Insights Magazine

Emphasizing on the need for a holistic economic approach, Mr. Janak Sheth says that each CEO should not only focus on his company’s financial success but also the GDP growth of the nation. Here’s his message to the readers of Prime Insights magazine: “India is a fast-

Mr. Laszlo Dellei’s Vision to Transform the Global Cybersecurity Scenario

I

n today’s digital age, companies across the globe are under constant threat from issues such as cyber hacking, phishing, and data theft.

Kerubiel’s Achievements and Noble Agendas

How Mr. Dellei Keeps Pace with Changing Market Trends

Over the years, Kerubiel has won numerous awards for its technological excellence and commitment to quality service. Some of its most notable achievements have been in recent years. In 2019, one of the company’s products won the Product Development grand prize of IT Business Awards. On the development front, the company created its first Industrial Control System Specific Cyber Threat Intelligence Tool systems. It is also working on the development of an advanced orthodontic IoT-based solution. For this project, the company is working closely with knowledge centers like the University of Malta, the British and Cyprian Research centers, and the University of Pisa. When it comes to giving back to society, Kerubiel has indulged in various social initiatives. The company is one of the leading supporters of the Hungarian DPO Ball, an annual event that provides data protection experts, officers, and the employees of the Hungarian Supervisory Authority a platform to discuss ideas. The company also supported numerous initiatives that helped the people in need during the second wave of COVID-19 in Hungary.

For any business to survive in the market, it has to stay updated with the emerging market trends. With Kerubiel, Mr. Dellei tries to lead by example. He ensures that the company always provides solutions or applications that have been tried, tested, and utilized before. To achieve this, the company gathers knowledge about all the emerging trends consistently. “Being prepared means being well-educated in any field that might be of relevance. Therefore, all employees are strongly encouraged and supported in their efforts to widen their knowledge or skills.” Mr. Dellei stated.

Mr. Dellei’s Take on Stereotypes and His Source of Inspiration in the Industry

When it comes to stereotypes, Mr. Dellei believes that one must not allow them to shape his/her life. According to him, success comes from different sources and at different times to everybody. That’s why one must never give up on his/her dreams merely because they couldn’t fit into a stereotype. “The world goes forward because people are willing to think unconventionally, outside the box, thus igniting creativity and innovation. Without these aspects, the world would be a poorer

Mr. Dellei’s Inspiring Entrepreneurship Journey

Founder and CEO of Kerubiel, Mr. Laszlo Dellei, since the beginning of his career, mainly dealt with IT and Information security issues. He advised his clients on IT Infrastructure protection and how to tackle possible cyberattack threats. As time went by, Mr. Dellei realized how his area of expertise organically merged with other fields like data protection. Spurred on by his previous progress, Mr. Dellei joined hands with co-operating experts belonging from various fields, as a means to gain more relevant knowledge and skills. During this time, Mr. Dellei got the idea of launching a company that could provide counseling on IT and all related fields. And so, in 2017, Kerubiel was established with the intent of serving as a onestop-shop for all consulting needs.

“For those who look up to us, we usually convey

the basic principles of Kerubiel: resilience, open-mindedness, and lifelong learning. We consider technology as an opportunity for further improvement that might shape our services as well as the operations of the clients.

How Mr. Dellei Ensures the Satisfaction of his Employees-

At Kerubiel, employees are treated as exceptional experts in their respective fields. They are frequently encouraged to grasp practical as well as theoretical knowledge whenever they can. The company firmly believes in pushing its employees to take initiatives and take active participation in all of its conferences as well as training.

Mr. Dellei’s Noteworthy Laurels

Mr. Laszlo Dellei, the Founder and CEO of Kerubiel is one of the leading Information Security experts in Hungary and Worldwide as well. He is an active executive member of ISACA. In 2019, he was given the title of the GDPR envoy of ISACA HQ, and in 2020, he was regarded as the Privacy Spokesperson of the same. Mr. Dellei is CISA, CGEIT, CRISC, CDPSE, C|CISO, and certified expert witness. He is also an ITSM and InfoSec professional with a multidisciplinary background. In the last 20 years, he has led numerous successful Security and ITC projects, along with various assignments in the Financial sector. At present, he is pursuing his university studies from the ELTE Institute of Postgraduate Legal Studies to become a professional expert in Data Protection and Data Security.

Mr. Dellei on the importance of R&D-

According to Mr. Dellei, an IT-based company should never neglect the importance of R&D as it thrives on innovation. “Technology-based applications house both, the potential to improve the operations and security of IT, and information systems and the threat to disrupt such infrastructures. For instance, AI-based privacy enhancement and security applications are available in the market. On the other hand, AI is exploited by cybercriminals to override conventional

20


security measures. Thus, a company providing services in these fields has no other option but to constantly research, develop, and utilize such technologies.” He stated. Last year, the company pushed its R&D department to stay updated with all the latest industry trends. As of lately, the company has also been taking active participation in numerous R&D projects on emerging technologies like AI and VR. One of the projects the company is involved in aims at simplifying cybersecurity by adopting an advanced AI-based solution. Another such project is focused on a VR-based health app that offers assistance to stroke patients. Being a member of the Hungarian AI Community, the company keeps itself engrossed in R&D with the intent to always come up with innovative and efficient technologies.

Mr. Dellei on Entrepreneurial Participation in Today’s timesMr. Dellei believes that the entrepreneurial participation evident in today’s times is based on mutual assistance, innovative solutions, and shared knowledge. The competitive environment encourages entrepreneurs to be creative, thereby strengthening the resilience of the economy.

Mr. Dellei’s Future Plans for Kerubiel-

When it comes to Kerubiel’s plans for the future, Mr. Dellei wishes to make R&D a central part of the company’s operations. As Hungary has recently adopted its first modern AI strategy, the company’s main focus will be on AI and other related research projects. Through Kerubiel, Mr. Dellei also aspires to establish fruitful connections with various experts in other fields. With this, he is hopeful that the company will bag national as well as international projects, thereby making an impact on a regional level. “Hopefully, our fresh and innovative, yet professional approach provides an opportunity to Kerubiel to become one of the most innovative leading company providing counseling to its clients in the CEE region.” He stated.

Mr. Dellei’s Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs-

Every aspiring entrepreneur needs some words of encouragement on a timely basis. Having been in the industry for nearly two decades, Mr. Laszlo Dellei has acquired some profound wisdom that he’d like to impart to young entrepreneurs. Here’s what he has to say, “ At Kerubiel, we believe that patience is of utmost importance for a successful company. Success is not immediate. It comes in time if the company works hard to achieve the goals set out in a welldefined strategy. Even if you have found the right way, minor setbacks are always waiting for you. If you overcome them and you clearly show the path for others, especially your employees, you will experience success.”

Recently, the company launched its new business vertical called Unicorn Ops. Unicorn Ops is a state-of-the-art

Cylsys’s Team of Dedicated Professionals Cylsys owes a major chunk of its success to its highly qualified and passionate team of professionals who work hard to deliver the best of services.

The sheer integrity, dedication, and passion for excellence are what make the team at Cylsys invincible. The company’s long list of satisfied clients is a testament to this fact.

How Cylsys’s Team Persevered Through the COVID-19 pandemic The current pandemic has gravely affected several businesses. While some have managed to cope with these trying times, many have miserably failed in their business plans. Cylsys too had to face many challenges during the lockdown. In March, when the entire nation went into complete lockdown, the company was forced to shut its operating offices. However, the incredibly efficient team at Cylsys made sure that the company’s operations run as per plan. They started working endlessly from their homes to ensure that each department accomplished its target without fail. Initially, the company found it a little difficult to adjust to this new way of operating, however, with time it was back on track.

Overcoming Challenges as an IT Startup In 2010, during the initial days of Cylsys, the company struggled to establish its place in the market. It was exceptionally hard for them to convince their clients to have faith in their service, as it was a fairly new business without a work portfolio. However, with persistent efforts, the company gradually built its portfolio.

Overcoming Challenges as an IT Startup in the 2000s

Mr. Vikas Chopra started the company in early 2000s, which was a very unfavorable time for upcoming IT Startups. The customers during that era were indifferent towards smaller, newer IT companies since only a handful of large brands dominated the market space. People weren’t as tech-savvy as they are today, so there was a general reluctance towards experimenting with new brands. Adding to the difficulty of the situation, the cultural gravity within Mysore was strong. People in the city preferred the companies that were already established, and were averse towards trying newer brands. Mr. Chopra recollects how he got the door shut on his face numerous times while doing door-to-door marketing for his services. Despite all the hindrances, Mr. Chopra worked harder and harder each day towards making his brand successful. He did initially acquire a handful of clients; however, it was not enough to sustain the business. Later on, he started seeking big clients amid Pvt. Institutions, Govt. Sector, Hospitals, E-Commerce, etc., by personally visiting their office. Almost all the customers were hesitant to try his services. Their familiarity with the older brands was keeping them from doing so. Finally, despite all the doubts of the customers, Mr. Chopra succeeded in changing their mindset. He gave them the best-in-class services at a much cheaper price. He gradually started expanding his client base across different industries and regions within Karnataka and

Mr. Vikas Chopra’s Source of Inspiration

Mr. Chopra believes that he wouldn’t be where he is today if it weren’t for the constant motivation provided by his father in his early business days. Despite being in a vastly different profession, he taught him the various nitty-gritty of the market. He also played a crucial role in his character development, encouraging him to grow and evolve as a person. Most importantly, he inspired Mr. Chopra to stand up straight despite falling down multiple times.

Battling Stereotypes as an Entrepreneur

Acknowledging the uniqueness of each entrepreneur, Mr. Chopra feels that each entrepreneur has his/her own characteristic style and attitude. One shouldn’t try to imitate another in the hopes of getting similar results. He says, “To the ones who look up to me, I thank you all first and also say that don’t become like me. You have your own style, own talent, and your own attitude. Make a mark in your own way but remember to always be strong and true to your work. Hold steadfast to your dream, and never back down, even for an instance.”

How to Start Your Online Business

S

etting up an online business isn’t easy. It requires meticulous planning, right from choosing a product to sell to sustaining your online presence. However, today’s digital age has made it easier for entrepreneurs to start an online business, thanks to the relatively affordable and accessible technology. Here are 5 steps that will help you to establish an online business, and a successful one at that-

#1 Find Your Niche

Before one thinks of starting an online business, he/she must finalize on the right product that has the potential for profitability. For this, they must do their research on the different types of niches present in the market and examine what they have in mind to come up with a viable business idea.

#2 Evaluate Your Market Workability

Once the business idea is finalized, it’s time to focus on the market viability of the product. For this, the entrepreneur must think of all the strengths and weaknesses of their product. This will give them an idea of what can make or break their business. Assessing market workability helps the entrepreneur analyze important details like shipping weight, the number of SKUs required, etc.

#3 Conduct Market Research

Conducting thorough market analysis, along with a SWOT analysis is very important. It helps the entrepreneur where his/her product stands in the market and who its competitors are. Moreover, it helps them determine the pricing models, potential competitive advantages and disadvantages, and distribution methods that they can utilize when entering the market.

#4 Set Up Your Website

With a finalized business plan in hand, the entrepreneur should now focus on setting up his/her website and get it running. Setting up a website isn’t as easy as setting up a preview landing page. It involves several steps like- Hosting, Designing the website, Selecting an appropriate platform, etc. In the case of an online business, a website serves as the greatest source of representation for the business. It accurately reflects 48


the business’ mission, products, and services to the customers. Deciding an appropriate name for the website and registering the domain name should be done alongside. The last thing an entrepreneur wants is to find out that the name/domain chosen for the website has been registered by another business.

#5 Ensure that your Business is Legal

Setting up an online business has pretty much the same rules as a brick-and-mortar business. To get one’s online business going, he/she has to ensure that their business is legal. To do so, the following steps are essential-

1.Going through online business regulations- Online

business regulations include laws regarding the distribution of the customer’s personal information, and other privacy and intellectual property regulations. One can go through the rundown given by the SBA on the specifics of online business laws.

2.Register Your Business- To register a business, the entrepreneur must decide on how they want to go about the company’s legal structure. Most businesses opt to form an LLC, however, one must do his/her research to figure out what’s best for their business. Moreover, state-specific requirements vary from state to state, so one must visit their local secretary of state office’s website for information on compliance at a state level. 3.Educate Yourself on Tax Obligations- In most cases of online businesses, the business owners likely operate from home.
