ogistics plays a pivotal role in the supply chain and production of businesses that sell goods. It also helps the business provide quality customer satisfaction that eventually results in customer retention. An effective supply chain further helps the company improve its sales, goodwill among customers, and business value. Therefore, it is essential for any company that deals with shipments, warehousing, or product deliveries to hire a reliable logistics service provider. FEI Cargo Ltd is one of the most sought-after Freight Management Companies in the country. It specializes in an array of logistical aspects like Customs Clearance, Warehousing, Project Cargo, Road Transportation, Air & Sea Transport. Having been in the industry for over three decades, the company has catered to the logistical needs of hundreds of clients for several different industries in India and Abroad.

FEI’s Inception & Success Story

FEI was established by Mr. Pratap Nair nearly 32 years ago. He had gotten into the industry by chance. However, he eventually got fascinated by the workings of the industry. His budding interest in the field helped him successfully complete the initial job assignments that came his way. After almost a decade of working for various reputed logistics companies, Pratap was inspired to start something of his own. The successes of AFL and Panalpina, the companies that he worked for during this period, sparked his entrepreneurial streak. He was keen on creating something similar yet different. He aspired to build a company based on a unique business philosophy, one that would give the professional aspect of it a personal touch. And so, he came up with FEI Cargo Ltd.

FEI’s Impressive Service Portfolio

FEI is an internationally acclaimed logistics solution provider that primarily deals with supply chain, customs broking, and freight forwarding. The company also offers assistance in handling heavy, odd-sized cargo with the help of their renowned partners and vendors. The main focus of the company is to ensure that the client’s consignment is picked up safely from anywhere on the globe and is delivered in good condition on time. Its vast global network and unmatched industry experience help the client meet their logistics requirements. Here are some of the unique services offered by the company:

“It all started as a dream”.

Every business has to endure certain challenges during the initial stages, and FEI was no exception. During those days, the market was dominated by family-owned companies. Also, this was during the pre-liberalization period, when clearances were only granted to the few that had connections with customs officials. Clearance was heavily influenced by license raj and the process of the same was complicated and lengthy. In addition, Mr. Pratap had just come out of a high-paying job. He had to dedicate long hours at work and make plenty of sacrifices on the personal front. During such difficult times, only God and his wife supported him wholeheartedly and that gave him the strength to stay determined. Mr. Abhijeet Pratap Nair, son of Mr. Pratap and CEO of FEI Cargo, however, chooses to see the silver lining. He says, “These challenges also provided opportunities for newcomers like me since customers wanted trustworthy vendors who could provide reliable service and we were able to address that need,” Today, FEI is regarded as one of the most reliable logistics solution providers even internationally. “One of our German partners recently introduced us to a German Company operating out of the US stating ‘Believe me; you will have fun working with our friends from FEI. They work as precise and accurate as we Germans think about ourselves if not even more detail-oriented.’ This, I believe, was my aim and goal whilst starting and I believe we are on our way there.” Says Pratap.

The Brand’s Customer-Centric Approach

In the service industry, it is all the more difficult for companies to convince clients to trust and rely on them. FEI has, however, managed to build long-term associations with numerous clients and partners across the globe. The company is known for its ethical approach and timely payments in the international logistics fraternity. Unlike other companies that compromise on the quality of services for discounted rates, FEI ensures that the customer gets more than what they expect. The goal is to win their trust and establish long-term associations based on mutual benefit. Even in these trying times, FEI is working round the clock to provide comfort and assurance to its customers. To ensure this, the company offers• Accurate Information • Reliable Execution • Timely Deliveries

Ms. Sheen - FEI Cargo Ltd. As a service provider, if the customer trusts you to become their extended logistics arm, you can make your mark in the industry and the heart of the customer,” Says Mr. Kumar Naidu, the Head of Projects at FEI Cargo. Owing to the company’s exceptional customer service, it has retained 25-30% of its customers over the last 15 years.

What Makes FEI Different

Global Networks: FEI has partnerships with some of the leading companies in the world. It has a total of 25 offices set up in important ports and industrial cities in the country. 300+ experts: The company has a strong team of over 300 highly qualified experts that are always ready to help clients. Unmatched Assistance: FEI’s team of experts helps clients with all the necessary Cargo related FAQs and assistance. Fleet Services: Unlike other forwarding companies, FEI does not depend on outsourced transportation alone. The company owns a fleet of vehicles that reduce transit time and ensure efficiency. Affordable Rates: FEI sees to it that the client gets the best rates, without compromising on the quality of its services. It values the client’s time, money, and cargo. Valuable Customer Service: FEI owes its success and recognition to its customers. Over the years, the company has won several awards for its exceptional and valuable customer service. The one award that makes us so responsible and restless is the “Leaders of Tomorrow” Award in the Logistics and Transport Sector, by Economic Times in 2010. Now we need to prove their

FEI’s Motto

“Service, Service, Service!” is the motto of FEI. The company truly believes in giving the customers exactly what, how, and when they want their logistical requirements to be met. Despite being not owning any vessels, aircrafts, or airports, the company still takes full responsibility for the cargo. “We are still responsible to ensure that the cargo that moves, reaches its destination in a certain time frame and if there are any changes in the same, we are the first to know and inform the customer.

This will help youngsters who want to become future logisticians and want to make a career in the industry, unlike the way he got into this industry, by chance. On the professional front, Mr. Pratap is looking forward to taking the organization to a global level for which the company will be coming out with a collaborative strategy in the next 8-10 months. He also wants to enhance his management structure and reporting.

prophecy to come true. “Professional service with a personal touch. If we say it, we will do it. If we can’t do it, nobody else can. Difficult things we do easily and impossible things takes some time,” Says Sheen Ajith Thomas, Director and Head of International Division at FEI Cargo.

CSR & Other Initiatives

A truly successful business takes serious interest in social causes. Being a company that sees beyond profit and losses, FEI ensures that it partakes in altruistic endeavors regularly. The company conducts a plethora of CSR activities through the Shailaja Nair Foundation. FEI also organized the ICE ( In-house Communication Excellence) Awards that acknowledged the unsung heroes that helped company’s create its in-house magazines. FEI is very active in their trade bodies and various Chambers of Commerce and other industry forums. They have been participating, mentoring and moderating various webinars. They have also conducted more than three international conferences in India.

A Message for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

An entrepreneur has to overcome many obstacles during his/her career. While it is important to stay focused, often self-doubt and failures make one question their abilities. It is during these times that one seeks advice from fellow, well-established entrepreneurs in the game. Having been in the industry for over four decades now, Mr. Pratap has the following to say, “I remember a quote from one of my heroes and our late President Shri APJ Kalam, ‘A dream is not something you see when you sleep, but something that does not let you sleep’. I believe in dreaming big and I am confident that the young entrepreneurs are going to take India forward. Today the government is doing its bit and the world is appreciating India’s progress and contribution, around the globe. Grasp this opportunity and contribute to the success of our country and the world.”

Mr. Pratap’s Personal & Professional Plans

As Mr. Pratap has always had an interest in the various aspects of logistics, he aspires to set up a logistics school for young students.

A Pre-eminent Building Mobility Solutions Provider in India

Aman Moudgil | Director Gilco Global

Deepak Moudgil | Managing Director Gilco Global

he series of economic disasters brought forth by the pandemic forced many businesses across the globe to shut down. While many entrepreneurs failed to withstand the catastrophe, only some emerged triumphant. They served as a testament to the kind of resilience an entrepreneur must possess in order to be perennially successful. Gaurav Moudigil and Aman Moudgil are two such entrepreneurs who have not only overcome the economic absurdities but have also taken their business to a new level. Their company Gilco Global is a sought-after Building Mobility Solutions Provider in India. It offers an array of building mobility amenities designed to cater to almost every industry segment.

Gilco Global’s Diverse Service Portfolio

Gilco Global specializes in mobility solutions like elevators, car elevators, automated car parking solutions, moving walks, dumbwaiters, escalators, car docks, etc. Each of its product and service is designed to meet the requirements of urban infrastructure. By offering customized solutions, the company aims at catering to the likes of hotels, commercial sectors, residential & housing structures, hospitals, industrial sectors, etc. The brand’s construction background gives it an upperhand at handling client issues with ease and efficiency. The company also provides automatic baggage handling systems, mechanical sweepers, gate seating, baggage scanning, and specialized

equipment for ground handling for the aviation sector. “We are committed to sincere business and customers’ satisfaction with strategic alliances with leading solution providers from Europe & Australia,” says Aman Moudgil, Founder & CEO of Gilco Global.

Gilco Global’s Inception & Success Story

Gilco Global was founded in 2014 by Aman Moudgil and Gaurav Moudgil through a collaboration with ORONA S. Co op, a renowned Spanish elevator group. Along with prior experience in construction, Gaurav and Aman both have specialized in Engineering Design & Construction Project Management. This gave them a better understanding of the technological requirements and client expectations in the Indian market. In addition, their father, Sh. Deepak Moudgil, helped them set up their operations. This gave them a much-needed head start in the business. Despite the good launchpad, Gaurav and Aman had to face many challenges in the initial stages. For starters, creating resources as per the market requirements was tough. The biggest challenge, however, was building brand awareness for ORONA. ORONA is regarded as one of the leading elevator companies in the world, with a network of over 2,50,000 solutions across 100 countries. ORONA also has the largest complete lift production capacity in Europe. ORONA is also the first company to have been certified under the Eco-design (ISO 14006). Despite all this, the brand was little known of in the Indian market. Gilco Global being the respresentative of the ORONA Group in India, had the sole responsibility of creating as much brand awareness as possible in India. By and by, Gilco Global overcame these issues and build a strong brand presence in India. For over 7 years now, Gilco Global has been strongly extending the philosophy of ORONA in India with its exceptional customer service and quality products. Owing to this success, the company has bagged collaborations with reputable companies like ECOSPACE IT, AEROSWEEP, ESCAPE MOBILITY, DHLLUIS, and HIDRAL S.A. The company has also spread its operations in over 10 cities in India including Ghaziabad, Noida, Delhi, Bangalore, Mohali, Mathura, Bhiwadi, Chandigarh, Gurgaon, and Faridabad.

How Aman Moudgil maintains a Work-Life Balance

Few entrepreneurs understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Having been brought up in a household that valued time management, Aman knows the significance of the same. “I have been brought up with values of time management inculcated to me by my Father who even till now believes in the motto of ‘early is on time and on time is late’. Also, I have studied in a missionary school that rested on values of time management and discipline,” he says. Aman also believes in smart work over hard work and tries his best to pass on this idea to his teams. “When we can streamline the process and become efficient, we can then focus less on the total amount of hours worked,” he adds. He claims that maintaining this balance of smart work and strict discipline has increased his and his team’s efficiency considerably.

feedbacks at periodic intervals (usually clubbed along with our service visits and through random calls directly with the customer) help us gather raw input about the overall experience and identifies the areas of improvement for us. Furthermore, current pandemic restrictions has made us use technology more effectively both for trainings (which are now happening through video conferencing) and ground operations wherein our Quality team is now using remote monitoring techniques to not only monitor critical processes but also routine preventive maintenances as are being conducted periodically with the Central idea of ensuring optimal product performance and a satisfactory customer experience.”

Aman on Changing Market Trends

Every entrepreneur aims at staying a step ahead. Mr. Aman, too, believes in optimizing his company’s organizational structure to adhere to the market trends. “We as an organization have worked on our internal processes and are using technology to optimize the same and also make them more efficient,” he says. He focuses on consistently improving his company’s customer experience. To keep up with change, he likes to keep a keen eye on the business environment or any change in the customers’ behavior pattern. He is also big on customer feedback and stresses the importance of it by adding, “We keep an eye on the business environment and change in behavior pattern of our customers and also the business environment. Customer

Gilco Global’s Noteworthy Achievements

Over the years, Gilco Global has hit numerous milestones and won plenty of laurels for its unmatched service. Here are a few notable ones: • THE SILICON REVIEW: 20 LEADING COMPANIES IN ASIA 2021 • BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARD: WORLDCOB 2020 (USA) • EMERGING COMPANY AWARD: INDIAN ACHIEVERS’ FORUM 2020 • SILICON INDIA: AMONGST 10 MOST PROMISING LIFT COMPANIES • YOUNG ACHIEVERS AWARD 2021 BY BIRLA GROUP FOR OUR CEO

A Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Having been in the industry for several years now, Aman has acquired some timeless wisdom that he’d like to impart to new entrepreneurs. Here’s what he has to say: “It cannot be better than the famous quote by Steve Jobs – ‘Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma’ which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

many eminent clients, such as LNTECC for developing partner management portal, Mahindra Comviva for managing a microfinancing platform, and Tata Communications USA for managing its patent product iJura. The brand is also working with many other key global partners for their unique product development concepts.

n today’s digital era, there’s a pressing need for conventiondefying solutions. A million digital problems are faced by businesses each day, many of which necessitate a fresh mind and unique paradigms. Businesses, therefore, can only sustain if they adopt a continually innovative process for their operations. DIATOZ Solutions is a digital solutions provider that acknowledges this need for constant innovation. It helps businesses keep pace with ever-changing digital trends, ensuring that they’re always performing at their optimal level. The brand has successfully served dozens of clients so far, many of which are top MNCs and industrial giants.

DIATOZ’s Emphasis on Trust-Building

In today’s hyper-competitive era, creating a solid global brand is difficult. Companies get just one chance to position their brand in the market, failing which they’ll be doomed to oblivion. This one chance is the time when customers buy something from a brand. Either the brand provides a quality product at the best price, or it totally loses this chance. DIATOZ understands the significance of customers’ trust, hence it does its utmost to achieve it. The brand adheres to the phrase: “what you say is what we build”. It strives to keep commitment very simple and achievable. The brand never takes up work for revenue purposes alone; the work has to excite its team. Once it takes up the work, it leaves no stone unturned in living upto the expectations of clients. DIATOZ’s long list of repeat-customers serve as a testament to their trust for the brand. As its customer base is growing, the brand has understood the right approach to effectively solve their problems.

DIATOZ Solutions: An All-Encompassing Digital Solutions Brand

DIATOZ: Digital A to Z solutions operates in three primary business lines – Digital Solutions & Services, Digital Products, and Consulting. Here’s an overview of each of these categories: Digital Solutions & Services: This encompasses a wide range of digital services that range from proof of concepts to multi-million dollar digital transformation engagements. Digital Products: These products are powered by DIATOZ Innovation Hub. They provide consumers with every possible digital solution that helps them save time, money, and feel happy and secure. The brand’s in-house products like iRestoran, ezenotes, e2ehiring, hectocommerce, ezevision, airpetgo, and agromarketplace have already created great hype and curiosity in the market across different domains. Consulting: This entails the sourcing, screening, and evaluation of the best talents for the IT Industry. They’re forwarded to various partner companies so as to fulfil their human resource needs. In its 3 years of existence, DIATOZ Solutions has fostered strong relationships with a multitude of clients. Its engagements are getting bigger and deeper with time. All of this was possible because the brand always works in sync with the customers needs and motivations. It thoroughly understands their requirements, designs scalable and futuristic solutions, and above all, engenders a strong sense of trust.

The Brand’s Marketing Front

DIATOZ’s main source of business in software development is its connection and references from existing partners. The brand, however, is looking at optimizing its marketing front, as it seeks to popularize its products in the open market. To strengthen its brand positioning, DIATOZ has started its marketing and growth team. It is one of the main focus areas for the brand this year.

Plans For The Future

The brand is striving for a mission called ‘Mission 2023’. It has set a grandiose expansion plan for the coming years. After its Singapore office, the brand plans to set up a new one in the US, in the 4th quarter of 2021. It also plans to further expand in India and the Middle East. On the personal front, Mr. Monuranjan is making self-care a top priority. The pandemic has taught us all invaluable lessons, one of them being the importance of our physical wellbeing. Professionally, he’s striving to ensure that all the quarterly targets are met despite all odds. He wants to enter the next year with a much-coveted head start.

The Brand’s Inspirational Journey

The Founder of DIATOZ Solutions, Mr. Monuranjan Borgohain, started the brand in a balcony in May 2018. He was driven by the ambition of disrupting the IT scenario, both in India and across the globe. He wanted to build a brand that’d become the synonym for quality and reliability in the digital space. Unlike many other brands, which focus purely on numbers, DIATOZ believes in quality organic growth. The brand hungers more for quality work than money. The ultimate goal of the brand is to create a socioeconomic impact by producing products that benefit millions of people. In the initial days, DIATOZ had to face several daunting challenges, just like any organic self-funded company. The challenges, however, didn’t deter its team but rather motivated them to do better. The most difficult part of the process was maintaining the brand’s operational expenditure, as it had no financial backing. Despite the difficulties, however, the brand persevered owing to its strong vision and values. Fast-forward to 2021, DIATOZ has an office in Bengaluru and a Singapore entity called “DIATOZ PTE LTD”. It boasts of a team of 110 employees. It has created successful engagements with

A Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Mr. Monuranjan describes his entrepreneurial journey as a “rough ride”. He faced many challenges while penetrating the market, having absolutely no investor support or financial backing. Despite the odds, however, DIATOZ managed to gain several wins, even during Covid-times. It expanded its headcount steadily and opened a new office in Singapore. Mr. Monuranjan urges aspiring entrepreneurs to have the same steadfastness while chasing their dreams. Here’s what he has to say: “Keep it simple, both with your dreams and targets. The journey is exciting but not easy; you’ll feel like you’re falling apart at times. Remember, it means you’re on the right track and are doing good.

ommission Media Private Limited: The Most Illustrious Affiliate Network of India

I

n the past few years, there’s been an unprecedented boom in India’s affiliate industry. Hundreds of different affiliate networks have emerged in the market. Some small and some substantially large. Out of these networks, however, only a handful possess international leverage. vCommission Media Private Limited is one such affiliate network that has an impactful global presence. It is one of the front-runners in the industry with umpteen high-performing affiliates. In its 13 years of existence, the brand has expanded its reach across a multitude of international markets and product niches, due to which, it is regarded as the most expansive affiliate network in all of India.

vCommission Media Private Limited: A PerformanceOriented Brand

The brand relentlessly focuses on delivering top-notch performance through its services. It works with the singular objective of generating maximum revenue for its partners, scaling at a rapid speed without compromising on the quality of deliverables. Within a span of a decade, the brand has aggressively scaled as an uprising digital brand. It is currently working with 100k + affiliates, generating 80 M in monthly traffic, 2.5 Million conversions, and $ 2B monthly GMV. Right now, the brand’s major areas of focus are E-Commerce, Travel, iGaming, Finance & Insurance.

The Brand’s Inception Story

vCommission was founded by Tarang Bhargava & Parul Bhargava in 2008, with the ambition to make a difference in the Indian affiliate industry. Back then, Indians weren’t taken into affiliate programs just because of their nationality. Both Tarang & Parul aspired to change this preconception and give Indians a fair chance at these programs. Consequently, they came up with a novel idea to fructify this change. They reasoned that a company, instead of a bunch of individuals, signing up for the programs would hold far more weight in terms of credibility. Thus, they formed vCommission Media on the basis of this rationale. A few months after its inception, both of them understood the affiliate business in much greater depth. This spurred them to go all-in with the company. Fast-forwarding to 2021, vCommission, with Parul spearheading the role as its CEO, is a thriving brand with a team of 100+ professionals. It is chasing and achieving new milestones every single day. Tarang and Parul had never imagined that their company would’ve achieved its current heights - while they had set high targets, they didn’t fathom the full scope of the business idea. So far both their journeys have been extremely rewarding, filled with learning experiences and opportunities. Both of them are immensely grateful for it all and look forward to its future advancement.

Overcoming Market Challenges

Parul has always seen challenges as avenues for learning and growth. According to her, nobody can thrive without facing their fair share of difficulties. They’re present in every sphere of life; avoiding them is simply not an option. In the initial days, Parul and her team had to face numerous complexities while running the company. Much of this could be attributed to their lack of experience, though. For instance, they learned everything about business on their own via business forums on digital marketing. They also attended various seminars. Back then, their primary focus was the Google AdSense income. It then evolved into Ad exchanges, which later helped them discover affiliate marketing, CPA, CPS models (in their core sense). Upon hiring professionals for the first time, Parul found it quite difficult to manage them. Also, a few years back, one of the brand’s partners had filed for bankruptcy. This really hit the brand hard, as a couple of million dollars were overdue from that particular brand and vCommission had already paid the money to the affiliates. Such experiences, albeit daunting, taught the team a lot about business and life in general. Parul now knows that despite all odds, one can ensure success by religiously practicing this credo – believe in what you do, give your best each day, and persevere, no matter what.

The Brand’s Emphasis on Trust Building

The brand believes that mutual trust is the key to successful business agreements, transactions, and deals. Its’ team works very hard to make sure that their partners don’t lose their trust in them. Parul expressed, “I would say that our expertise combined with the collective effort of our team helps us leave our mark in the industry and also in the heart of our customers. We perpetually challenge our own limitations so that we can create something truly monumental in the long run. Furthermore, we continually study our competitors and learn and outperform their strategies. This helps us stay ahead and bring our A-game forth, always.” To ensure quick and hassle-free payments, vCommission transfers funds directly to affiliates’ bank accounts. Such thoughtful business steps have helped it retain the tag of the most reliable Indian affiliate platform for the longest period of time. So far, the brand has successfully collaborated with top players in different industries, such as Airtel, Flipkart, eBay, Amazon, Domino’s, Etihad Airways, among many others. It has successfully created a culture around its partners and their needs.

Parul Tarang Bhargava - Co-Founder & CEO

Future Plans For The Brand

vCommission has recently acquired a business in the Ed-Tech domain. It’ll be working towards building and growing it in the time to come. In the long run, Parul envisions her brand as a unicorn venture that would be operating at a breakneck speed. It would’ve acquired several businesses, successfully functioning under the VC ONE group. She’s also looking forward to rolling out vCommission’s IPO in the next few coming years. Post-covid, the dynamics of doing business have changed drastically, both nationally as well as globally. However, even with the hindrances of the “new normal”, vCommission has flourished and closed several business targets. The brand aims to continue exploring new waters at a global level while retaining its strategic focus at the home base – India.

Parul’s Inspiring Entrepreneurship Journey

Parul believes that her entrepreneurial journey still has many exploratory stages. She has a lot more to see and experience. Furthermore, she says that she’s far from a know-it-all entrepreneur. She still takes on new challenges and difficult circumstances to better her approach towards work. It’s been 13 years since she started in the digital space and so far, the experience has been truly eventful. She and her team have faced and overcome numerous challenges, which in turn have strengthened their bond and spirit. Certain significant events marked the timeline of this journey. They were greatly responsible for shaping the brand’s current trajectory. In 2010, vCommission experienced a proper growth-curve in terms of its top-line and bottom-line business. In 2013, Adways, a Japanese company invested in it. The brand then shifted its gears from being a family-run business to being a proper corporate. By 2013, vCommission was working with Top 100 internet companies. Now, in 2021, it is a 100+ people team with its presence in Gurgaon, Mohali, Delhi, USA, and Singapore.

A Message To Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Being an indefatigable proponent of the “growth mindset”, Parul advises young entrepreneurs to be constant learners. Here’s what she has to say: “I would say that any aspiring person, be it a new entrepreneur or even a student who wants to ace their exams, must never stop learning. One should always have that child-like curiosity and absorb knowledge from your environment. This will not only help you advance your career but also become a better person in life.”

7 uncomplicated ways to lose belly fat, based on science

Introduction Obesity is one of the most complex issues, which is facing the world today. The United States is supposed to be the most obese nation in the world today. It is estimated, that around seventy million people are chronically obese in the country out of a total population of around 350 million. Both men and women are equally obese, which shows, that this disease has spared no one. Overall, the statistic is shocking, which states that forty percent of the American population is obese. One of the most worrying aspects of obesity is the presence of belly fat. There is a major type of obesity, known as visceral fat, which is a major risk factor. This fat acts as a catalyst for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, respectively. Doctors and scientists, often use Body Mass Index( BMI ), for classifying weight and predicting metabolic disease risk. Strangely, it has been found, that many thin individuals often have an excess belly. Now, let us list out the simplest and the most popular ways, by which you can lose belly fat, which are given below. 1)

You should consume lots of soluble fiber

All physicians and doctors, state that you must take lots of soluble fiber. This absorbs water and makes a gel, that slows down the speed of the food, as it goes through the digestive system. The reason, being that you feel full, and you eat naturally. The number of calories, which you acquire from your food, is also much lower. There are lots of foods, which are an excellent source of soluble fiber, which are mentioned below. • • • • • •

Shirataki noodles. Flax seeds. Avocados Brussels sprouts Blackberries Legumes

2)

Avoid consuming excess alcohol

While scientific studies have proved, that a small amount of alcohol is truly beneficial, excess alcohol consumption is detrimental to your health. Your belly fat will greatly increase, if you drink too much, since, lots of fat is accumulated around the waist. You should seriously limit the amount of alcohol, which you consume, to remove belly fat. 3)

Never consume food that contains trans fats.

In countries like India, consumption of trans fats is a serious issue and a major cause of obesity and belly fat. Trans fats are made by pumping hydrogen into unsaturated fats, like ghee and soyabean oil. The trans fats are found in margarine, spread, and are also added to packaged foods, and lots of food producers are not using them now. These fats are also linked to heart disease, inflammation, gain in fat in the abdomen in animal studies and also in observations, and insulin resistance. If you purchase any food item, then you will often find that it is mentioned as partially hydrogenated fats. 4)

You must consume a high protein diet

This is one of the most important ways, by which you can reduce belly fat. For good weight management, protein is a very important nutrient. Once, you take lots of proteins, then the fullness hormone pyy is released, which reduces appetite and leads to fullness. Having lots of proteins increases your metabolic rate and assists you to retain your muscle mass while experiencing loss of weight. Always, ensure that you always take lots of proteins, in every meal, such as • • • • • •

5)

Fish. Eggs. Meat. Beans. Dairy. White protein.

Never consume foods having lots of sugar

Sugary foods are one of the primary culprits, which leads to a lot of belly fat. The reason being, that sugar contains fructose, which is the principal factor behind many chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, fatty liver disease, and Type 2 diabetes respectively. One of the most common misconceptions is that it is only refined sugar, which leads to fat in the belly. Even natural sweeteners such as honey should be consumed in fewer quantities. 6)

Reduce your intake of carbohydrates

It is perhaps a very commonly known fact, that carbohydrates increase your belly fat. If you consume food, which has less than fifty grams of carbohydrates, then it will lead to fat loss, in excess weight, people with type 2 diabetes. 7)

Perform aerobic exercise

For reducing belly fat, one very effective way, is to perform aerobic exercise regularly. This leads to the burning of calories and enhancing your health.

Mr. Chaitanya’s Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Aswani Chaitanya’s Enthralling Entrepreneurship Journey

As a startup founder, one must always stick to his or her core proposal. The person can easily get carried away and can start deviating from his or her idea or product. At Timios, the complete focus was on the kids market as there is always a genuine requirement for a product like Timios. Execute just one thing, but see to it that you do it right. Keep things simple and organized.

Creating a mindset change in the parent’s mind was one of the biggest challenges. Parents have a general notion that all packaged food items are detrimental to kid’s health. And this is certainly not true. If natural or organic constituents are used in manufacturing
