While some businesses have managed
to adapt to this new change, many are still struggling to stick to an effective crisis management plan. The present economic condition has made it easy to distinguish the diligent players from the unprepared ones. One of the most pliant entrepreneurs to have emerged successfully from the current situation is Mr.Rupak Barua, CEO of AMRI Hospitals.

AMRI HOSPITALS:
Mr. Rupak Barua’s Vision to Reform India’s Healthcare Sector
I
n the digital era, several innovative technologies have been introduced, which have brought about a massive transformation in the way we conduct business. Like almost every aspect of our lives, the Healthcare sector has also been greatly influenced by this change. The introduction of AI and digitized systems has completely altered the dynamics of the industry. Major players across India have been at the forefront of this paradigm-shift, AMRI Hospitals being one such healthcare group. A market leader in Eastern India, AMRI offers best-in-class treatment and clinical outcomes, treating around 4.5 lakh patients annually across its four tertiary hospitals, besides conducting surgeries, procedures and other treatment processes for another around 1.5 lakh more in-patients. AMRI currently has three tertiary care hospitals in Kolkata, and one in Bhubaneshwar, besides a state-of-the-art day care centre, also at Kolkata. A part of the Emami Group, one of India’s largest business conglomerates, the healthcare group is regarded as one of the leading private healthcare networks in Eastern and North Eastern India.

Director & Group CEO
The Story Behind AMRI’s Conception
AMRI’s Achievements As a Leading Healthcare Brand
AMRI Hospitals was established back in 1996 under the guidance of legendary physician, Dr. Mani Kumar Chhetri. The hospital chain was grown with guidance from several renowned doctors from Kolkata, which served as a strong foundational base for the brand. After changing hands a few times, Emami Group took up the reins of the company as promoters, bringing about reforms in the brand’s modus operandi. Today, AMRI is counted among the best private healthcare networks in the region. So much so that it was the only private hospital from Eastern India enlisted in the prestigious American magazine Newsweek’s annual global hospital rankings survey in 2020. In 2014, Mr. Rupak Barua assumed the role of Group CEO. Ever since he took up the reins, the brand adopted a fresh perspective in its operations, bringing about a complete transformation in most of its facets. As of 2020, AMRI is among the top 2 hospitals in Kolkata, as adjudged by widely-read news magazine The Week’s annual survey for three consecutive years, since 2017, treating around 4.5 lakh people annually. The brand’s 4 tertiary hospitals are located at Dhakuria, Mukundapur, Saltlake (in Kolkata) and Bhubaneshwar (Odisha) and its day care center is located on Southern Avenue (Kolkata). It also features strong specialty facilities in fields like cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics.
Being a market leader in quality healthcare, AMRI Hospitals has introduced several new technologies to not just Eastern India but also the rest of the nation. AMRI has been a pioneer in introducing several breakthrough technologies in different domains, such as the Renal Denervation Therapy, the latest in hypertension management, nano pacemakers and TAVI in cardiac care, and O-ARM in neuro care, to name a few. Here are some of the brand’s most significant achievements and recognitions: • Only private hospital from Eastern India to feature in the Newsweek magazine’s ‘World’s Best Hospitals2020’ survey • A 2010 survey conducted by Quality Circle Forum of India ranked AMRI Hospitals Salt Lake 1st in BioMedical Waste Management, 2nd in Operational Excellence & Time Management and 2nd in Patient Services. • AMRI Hospitals Dhakuria, Mukundapur, and Bhubaneshwar were awarded accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) • Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification awarded AMRI hospitals Mukundapur and Bhubaneshwar the Green-OT certification for using eco-friendly anesthetics. 12
Along with providing patients cutting-edge treatment options, the brand also ensures that their price is reasonable. This is the primary goal behind all of AMRI’s R & D initiatives – producing cutting-edge treatments in the most cost-effective manner.
•
In The Week’s annual hospital rankings survey 2017, 2018 and 2019, AMRI Hospitals ranked 2nd among private hospitals in East Zone under the category ‘Best Tertiary Care Hospitals in India AMRI constantly endeavors to provide its patients the best clinical outcomes at a reasonable price. Despite the numerous medical accolades, the brand holds the smiles on the faces of its patients to be its greatest achievement.
How AMRI Satisfaction
Ensures
Maximum
Employee
According to Mr. Rupak Barua, the CEO of AMRI Hospitals,
How AMRI Keeps Pace with Changing Market the contentment of the employees is crucial for a brand’s success. He says “There’s a favorable causality that Trends The introduction of AI and digitized systems has brought about a paradigm-shift in all industries. In the last few years, especially, the effect of this change has been more evident than ever before. Keeping pace with current industrial trends, AMRI has integrated cutting-edge AI-based tech in its healthcare model. It has consistently upgraded its earlier treatment platforms and introduced more advanced versions over the years, and at present, much of its products are on digital platforms The hospital chain is also striving to decrease its carbon footprint. Its R & D Teams are actively working on developing new ways of reducing its carbon footprint whilst maintaining maximum efficiency of its operations.
occurs while taking care of employees. It’s only when our employees are happy that we can function optimally, which in turn helps us serve our patients in the most powerful manner.” Mr. Rupak believes that the most valuable feature of the company’s culture is that despite being a large organization with around 5,500 employees and more than 1,200 doctors, it has retained a familial atmosphere. All the doctors, nurses, and staff have a family-like bonding with each other. Despite their station in the hierarchy, every worker in the hospital is valued and given due recognition. All employees are given ample opportunities for advancement and paid as per the prevailing industrial standards. The brand also takes particular care to promote/renumerate employees solely on the basis of their competence, credentials, and work experience. It is strictly against partiality and favoritism; corporate evils that’ve robbed talented employees of the positions they rightly deserved.
AMRI’s Humanitarian Endeavors
AMRI Hospitals has a patient welfare cell which actively works towards helping patients from lower economic backgrounds. The cell supports poor patients with economic support, enabling them to avail quality treatment at heavily discounted rates. It is aided by the brand’s partner network of NGOs and mother organization Emami. From complex cardiac surgeries to simple dental procedures, the patient welfare cell covers a plethora of treatments for a broad range of ailments. At times, the patients can avail these treatments at almost no cost. This has proved to be a boon for economically challenged patients that need immediate and intensive medical care to improve their condition.
Mr. Barua’s Striking A Work-Life Balance
Working in the healthcare industry is a round-the-clock job. It necessitates dealing with uncalled-for emergencies, which can take place at any time, be it day or night. Apart from being preoccupied with work, Mr. Rupak is also a prominent member in several national industry bodies like CII and FICCI. This entails a lot of responsibilities and commitments. To make the most productive use of his time, Mr. Rupak makes it a point to do tasks in the most efficient manner and manage his time well. To strike a work-life balance, Mr. Rupak spends some time with his family, goes on annual trips, or does other leisurely activities like watching sports and movies, or reading.
AMRI’s Advancements in R & D
Being a private healthcare service provider, AMRI doesn’t have much scope for R & D in the strictest sense. However, the brand does seek consistent advancement in healthcare technologies. It’s always working towards maximizing the effectiveness of its treatments whilst reducing the incidence of complications. Over the years, AMRI has introduced several new technologies and treatment protocols so as to provide the best clinical outcomes to its patients. It constantly upgrades existing platforms and equipment to keep up with the industrial standards. With each new innovation, the brand strives to establish a new for benchmark healthcare providers throughout the nation.
Mr. Barua’s Source of Inspiration Behind Becoming an Industrial Leader
13
Despite being at such a powerful position, Mr. Barua makes it a point to acknowledge his roots. He feels that he wouldn’t be where he is today if it weren’t for the ideals of his father, which served as a strong foundation for his success. Being a man of character and integrity, Mr. Barua’s father set a great example for him in his formative years. He endowed him with the necessary inspiration and grit to succeed. Moreover, he devoted his life to the fulfillment
of altruistic endeavors. “All my life, I have looked up to my father, who inspired me with his determination and active involvement in helping others. Till his last breath, he was associated with many welfare activities. To him, his life was meant for doing something meaningful and constructive.” said Mr. Barua. The life philosophy held by his father inspired Mr. Barua in both his personal and professional callings. It has made him eager to conquer new frontiers and take on challenges that are bigger than him. He adds “This is what I would like to tell those who look up to me, to make their life one of service, and to never be afraid of taking up new challenges, however, difficult it might seem at the beginning.”
With the use of technology increasing in healthcare over the last few years, AMRI has plans of further scaling its operations by upgrading treatment platforms, acquiring and introducing more advanced techniques along the way. The company is also quite invested in developing more sustainable solutions that are environment-friendly and decrease carbon footprint.
Mr. Rupak Barua’s Advice to Readers of Prime Insights Magazine
Emphasizing on the importance of safe, hygienic practices during the pandemic, Mr. Barua urges the readers of Prime Insights magazine to adopt all the necessary anticovid measures to ensure their safety. He says “Given the pandemic situation, I would like to request all Prime Insight readers to stay alert and strictly follow the norms of social distancing. For the elderly, it’s better to not step out unless absolutely necessary” Mr. Barua also advises ill people to immediately consult with their doctors to rule out the possibility of Covid-19 infection. “If you’re not feeling well, don’t suppress it, discuss with a qualified physician and visit a hospital for the right kind of treatment. Stay healthy! Stay Safe!”
The Company’s Vision for the Future
Since digitization and AI are being integrated in every facet of human existence, the brand is focusing its efforts in providing quality healthcare at affordable cost through the aid of advanced digital tools. AMRI Hospitals is already working towards a paperless environment through the introduction of digitized systems and AI. This reform has also benefited its infrastructure by reducing human errors.

An Award-Winning System Integrator Brand That’s Transforming India’s IT Sector
I
n India’s IT Sector, thousands of new brands emerge each day with the hopes of making it big in the market. However, only a few brands have managed to claim their stronghold in the market. These brands have claimed the top position in the market hierarchy owing to their cutting-edge systems, quality service, and a relentless commitment towards customer satisfaction. System Needs is one such brand which has completely metamorphosed the IT Scene in southern India. Based out of Mysore, the Award-Winning System Integrator company provides End to End IT Solutions like Desktops, Laptops, Printers, Scanners, Tabs and Accessories, Thermal Scanners, Smart Rack Solutions, etc. System Needs’ clientele covers a broad array of industries, including Retail, Education, hospitals & Healthcare, E-Commerce, Government, and Manufacturing.
Karnataka region. In its 18 years of existence, System Needs has gone from being a small computer & accessories provider to a Multidimensional IT Giant.
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
System Needs’ Conception Story; The Vision That Drives the Brand
System Needs was conceived back in 2002 at Mysore, Karnataka. While initially the brand only focused on End User Computing Services and Accessories sales, it later on ventured into other branches of IT. Upon starting out, System Needs had a clear vision as to how the brand should grow year-after-year. Its team always kept the bigger picture in mind, constantly upgrading its services in different niche areas. As of 2020, the brand has a diverse solution portfolio that not only includes End User systems like Desktops, Laptops, Printers, Scanners, Thermal Scanners, but also holistic solutions like Data Centre Solutions, Surveillance and VMS, Data Storage & Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI), etc. Moreover, its clientele now spans across multiple industries like Government, Retail, Education, Hospitals & healthcare, E-Commerce, IT/ITES and Manufacturing, covering the rest of

between his professional and family life. While in the initial days, he had to come across many challenges on the professional front, he managed to effectively overcome them through the implementation of intelligent work systems.
after 18 years of perseverance, System Needs is one of the leading IT Solution Company in Mysore.
How System Needs Keeps Pace with Dynamic Market Trends
The team at System Needs keeps themselves updated with the latest market scenarios. They’re always scanning the market for various customer pain points and seeking innovative ways to address them. Alongside such endeavors, the brand is also focused on studying the changing IT Landscape and its implications for customers. This helps the brand better adapt to market uncertainties and be in tune with fluctuating customer demands. Currently, the brand’s primary focus lies in promoting Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Cyber Security, and GIS Solutions. By advancing in these technological frontiers, the brand will not only be able to provide holistic IT solutions through their integration but also open new avenues for technological advancement. R & D is another facet that is of great importance to the brand. Mr. Chopra Believes that R & D is essential for the growth of any company, so in their integration process, the team chooses OEMS who spend at least 30 % of their profit in R & D.
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.”
System Needs’ Noteworthy Achievements and Milestones
Some Golden Nuggets for Budding Entrepreneurs
Being one of the most acclaimed IT Brands in Karnataka, System Needs has acquired several different achievements and milestones. Some of them have been given below: •
Received awards from Seagate as the Best Channel Partner at Switzerland.
•
Ranked among the Top 10 End to End Solution Providers by silicon magazine.
• •
Being an entrepreneur for over 18 years, Mr. Chopra has acquired some timeless wisdom which he’d like to impart to young entrepreneurs. Here’s what he has to has to say: “Every entrepreneur has a different story about why he or she decided to start a business. Some have known from day one that they wanted to work for themselves and others come up with ideas while working for someone else and decide to take the entrepreneurial leap. Well, this is the most common scenario throughout the world.... While not all entrepreneurs will succeed in their first attempt, surely everyone will get a chance to prove his/her name. Connect with different people in the industry, learn from them, exchange ideas, and always seek constant improvement.”
Received the title of GEM of Mysore from DQ Weeks. Featured as the Best GEM HP Partner in Up-Country Karnataka.

Uday Kotak exploring the takeover of smaller rival IndusInd Bank

S
of the leading private banks in India and ascend it’s assets and shares by about 83%.
ponsored and backup by the richest banker of Asia, Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd., has been recently engaged to takeover it’s smaller rival IndusInd Bank Ltd. This movement is believed to fetch the nation’s 8-largest financial firm by assets.
This takeover will significantly become a lifeline to IndusInd which has seen bad times when its shares dropped to 60%. It was also hit down by worse asset quality and low-cost deposits. Kotak in 2014, took under it the local unit of ING Group NV for INR 150 billion, which is believed to be India’s largest takeover of a lender.
The co-founder and chief executive officer of Kotak Mahindra is UdayKotak. In order to achieve an all-stock acquisition, UdayKotak is looking at this possibility to take over with bright endeavours. There has been a preliminary discussion regarding this takeover between UdayKotak and the Hinduja family so that the IndusInd Bank founders can stabilize a stake in the lender after the deal. This would also breach down Kotak’s position as one
There have been several discussions for selling the Mumbai-based control of lender following a dispute between the four brothers of the UK-based Hinduja family over the family’s future estimated to be $11.2 22
saying that the assets held by one brother shall be shared by all and each one of them will act as their executors. However, later, the family’s assets were separated in 2016. In September of the same year, through an allotment of INR 3288 crore to the promoters and investors. They have been hoping to receive an assent from the Reserve Bank of India to increase their bank stake that was later remained uncleared. IndusInd made a provision of INR 2566 crore for non-performing loans out of which INR 1203 crore was allocated for the provisions of Covid-19 people during the second quarter of this year.
billion. Earlier in 2020, India’s central bank pushed back the Hinduja group’s plan to raise stake in IndusInd. Kotak Mahindra’s market capitalization of INR 2.7 trillion makes it India’s value-based third-largest lender party. This takeover is more advantageous considering IndusInd’s shares that have fallen 64% in the previous since its investors were highly disappointed. This was because they found that the company’s founders were borrowing capital against its shares, thus, worsening asset quality. The Hinduja brothers have later repaid this loan backed up by the bank’s shares.
IndusInd’s corporate lending book, by the end of June, was valued at INR 986 crore and the finance book constituted the rest. This is why it has only 2000 branches across the country serving around 26 million customers. However, Kotak Mahindra Banks works more spontaneously with just 1600 branches, 2516 ATMs and 24 million customers. Currently, IndusInd advances grew to INR 1.98 trillion in the June quarter with an average deposit that grew by INR 2.11 trillion. On the contrary, Kotak’s total advances stood at INR 2.04 trillion with total deposits at INR 2.62 trillion by the end of the June quarter.
The proposed merger will help Kotak strengthen its retail business as IndusInd Bank has a fast-growing retail, credits and deposits book. This will again undoubtedly expand Kotak’s presence in the banking sector of India, especially in the retail department. On the other hand, IndusInd Bank has made discussions regarding the merger via a share swap. Another reason for this takeover is because the market capitalization of IndusInd is around INR 50,000 crore while that of Kotak is INR 2.75 trillion. The 4 Hinduja brothers – Ashok, Gopichand, Prakash and Srichan had signed a petition document in 2014

What will be CEO’s strategy for meeting divergent demands the new pandemic era?
M
Crisis Mode
NCs around the world have now had time to adapt to a new way of life. Although, with uncertain prospects for the future, CEOs must avoid growing complacent. Most business leaders are used to dealing with uncertainty but little could have prepared them for the upheaval caused by COVID-19. All of a sudden, CEOs were forced to adapt, setting up their teams to work remotely and, where possible, moving their services and operations online. But now, six months on and with this exceptional situation set to last, how can business leaders continue to operate and meet the often-contradictory demands of employees and the organization? Also, what lessons have they learnt from the early stages of the pandemic that can help?
When the pandemic started, CEOs’ first priority was to protect their people, their company and their customers.Besides this, ensuringbusiness continuity was their main focus, whilst very quickly managing their cost base. Appreciating the scale of the challenge was vital. Althoughrealizing that COVID-19 isn’t going away, CEOs are moving out of crisis mode and considering how best to do business in a new ‘normal’.
Contradictory Challenges
Most often, the demands being placed on CEOs are diametrically opposed, which is pulling them in different directions. The economic environment is quite tough at present,
32
requiring equally tough decisions. It has been forecasted by OECD that the global economy will shrink by 6-7.6% this year, representing the deepest recession since the Second World War. Several jobs are being axed every day in every sector, with the OECD predicting that “even in the more optimistic scenario for the evolution of the pandemic” the unemployment rate in OECD countries shall exceed to a new high ever since the Great Depression. Despite the fact that CEOs may want to hold on to as many people as possible, they have a cost base to manage and they have to deliver to investors. Hence, their dilemma is how to provide employees with the support they need while optimizing business performance. Also, how to focus on current priorities – grappling with coronavirus-driven shocks to the business – while assessing new opportunities created by the dislocation. There is another challenge to look at which is achieving the right balance between virtual and human interactions. However, CEOs also recognize that connections across their business are starting to fray and that some people’s work-from-home arrangements are less than ideal. So, the leaders need to find out the ways to maintain cohesion when people are physically apart.Also, how can they be understanding of individual circumstances while remaining focused on business performance, is another aspect to look at.
vital. According to André Helfenstein, CEO of Swiss Universal Bank at Credit Suisse, the pandemic brings opportunities that swift decision-making, and the courage to change, can unlock. André further adds that this pandemic situation forces us to more radically question certain businesses, set-ups, processes and investments that previously seemed a given or were changing, but too slowly. Stricter cost management and more efficient ways of operating ultimately free up resources that can be invested in new opportunities and offer potential for improving existing business set-ups and the way we work.
Ability to unify teams
Working from home has allowed organizations to continue to operate, and with companies from Amazon to Zillow extending their remote working policies, many will be doing it for a lot longer. Although reflecting on their early pandemic experience, many CEOs feel that they need to do more to bring their virtual teams together. Going ahead, CEOs should conduct more one-to-one check-ins, establish better methods of linkage – across senior people, functions and projects – to replicate the collaboration facilitated by office life, and enforce black-out times to avoid employee burnout.
Leadership Skills
Long-term thinking
CEOs need to be utmost flexible with a multi-faceted skill set while managing such dilemmas. Driving performance is simply not enough.
It is difficult to plan ahead amidst so much uncertainty, with some organizations putting detailed five-year plans on the back burner. While there are other companiesas well that are continuing with their usual plans, even if they aren’t sure how much faith to have in them. For many CEOs, long-term alignment is a relatively low priority right now and it is hardly surprising, but some level of forward planning is useful. It is recommended to find small amounts of time to focus on it and acknowledge that the uncertainty can be unsettling.
Flexibility
At times CEOs have to deliver complex, yet opposing messages. There are many instances wherein CEOs need to maintain staff morale and keep people informed and then, the next day, having to issue a note about the pandemic’s ruinouseffects on the business and the urgent need to improve performance. It is a delicate balancing act which the CEOs should learn.
Personal Growth
It is expected that for CEOs, the COVID-19 crisis turns out to be the ultimate leadership challenge. Those leaders that make it through will be seeing meaningful jump to their businesses, personal development and in societal terms. It is a galvanizing experience knowing that you are robust enough to survive, and possibly even thrive, in a crisis situation of this magnitude. This shall provide CEOs with the confidence and multi-faceted skillset to weather most future black swan events.
Decisiveness and Innovation
Business leaders were forced to make quick decisions with incomplete information during the initial stages of the pandemic. Likewise, CEOs will need to continue to lead without the visibility they are used to. During this inherently unknowable situation, no amount of analysis can tell them what proportion of their retail outlets will be open by next March or how efficient transport links in their supply chain will be. Meanwhile, innovation is 33

or many large banks and BPOs, the management of noncore activities is a troublesome affair. Professionals from these organizations generally lack the time/energy to deal with non-core issues, as they’re preoccupied with more important projects. Not only does this negligence result in an inefficient use of financial/human resources but also costs them several avoidable expenses. To help companies handle non-core issues in a seamless manner, Aaveg Management Services provides them cuttingedge employee commute, consulting, and advising solutions. In a figurative sense, Aaveg takes the “burden off their shoulders” by providing them ease of operations, better employee satisfaction, and increased safety & productivity. Aaveg was founded back in 2015 by Mr. Ashok Vashist(Founder
and CEO of Aaveg) and Mr. Sachin Agrawal(COO). From an organization with just 2 employees, the brand has proliferated into a national leader in its niche, having over 200+ employees and branches in 7 cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata.Its client base now covers 52 Customers, including big names like HSBC, Maxlife Insurance, and Tesco.

How Aaveg Caters To the Needs Of Its Employees
Aaveg is particularly considerate to its employees and their needs. Despite market uncertainties during the pandemic, it didn’t cut down the salaries of employees and took great care in addressing all the challenges faced by them. The brand also conducts “Mahine-Ke-Mulakat”; a monthly meetup with the drivers and trainers which aims to understand the hindrances faced by them and come up with effective solutions.
Aaveg’s Challenges As AManaged Service Provider (MSP) Startup
Upon starting out in 2015, Aaveg faced tremendous resistance in the market. Being a Managed Service Provider company, it was strongly opposed by Company Admins since they deemed it to be a threat to their livelihood. In its first year, Aaveg managed to bag a couple of clients, however, they hit a dry spell afterwards. The market’s status quo made the companies reluctant to experiment with their services. They preferred to stick to more conventional models of outsourcing.

The Founding Principles Of Aaveg
Although Aaveg does harness social media/digital marketing to generate leads, it prefers tojust use it as a tool to initiate long-term relations with clients. According to Mr. Sachin Agrawal, building rapportat all levels of an organization is the most powerful approach. Since these stakeholders have authority over their regions and they’re more approachable, they’re the ideal persons who can help them foster strong connections with the brand.

Apart from these, the brand also conducts events in Engg/ Management Colleges to increase its outreach by leveraging educational-corporate ties.
Aaveg’s Relentless Commitment towards Quality Service
Similar to what JLL and CBRE are for FM, Aaveg endeavors to be a synonym for transport outsourcing in the country. Alongside its transport vertical, Aaveg also plans to further develop its Human Capital Venture. Started in July this year, Aaveg’s Human Capital Venture has already attracted big clients like Whitehat Jr, Firstsource, etc. Its future plans include the introduction of a TaaS technology that’d feature an Employee’s Entire Journey through an organization, right from the entry to the exit. It would feature details like performance stats, attendance, and all relevant events in the employee’s lifespan in the organization. In the next 5 years, the company plans to expand its staff strength to over 1000 employees and branch out to 15 other cities including Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Surat, etc. It also plans to enter the B2C Space in 2023.
What Makes Aaveg Stand Out Among Its Competitors The operational team at Aaveg is extremely sensitive to its customers’ needs. It ensures that no stone is left unturned when it comes to addressing the customers’ complaints/ demands. Apart from the customer-centricity, Aaveg is driven by a relentless passion for technological excellence. All its operations are seamless, and hardly give rise to any escalations. In its 5 years of existence, Aaveg hasn’t lost a single contract; a rare accomplishment in its Managed Service niche.
Aaveg’s Vision For The Future
The brand stands for virtues like professionalism, mutualism, and cooperativeness. It firmly believes in the motto “Let our work speak for itself”. Instead of relying on extravagant marketing campaigns or promotions, the brand has gradually built its reputation through consistent performance. Over the years, Aaveg has constantly refined and fine-tuned its systems in accordance with the changing demands of its customers. This has helped the brand thrive in situations where competitors have encountered failures. With large organizations, it becomes difficult to optimize outsourced activities. There are too many factors that need to be taken care of. Aaveg helps these organizations shed excess cargo by adopting a simple principle” “work on the efficiencies and cut out the inefficiencies”. To perform a thorough evaluation of its service quality, Aaveg performs monthly/quarterly reviews and also makes use of stats, customer feedback. Alongside these tools, the brand imbibes the feedback of driversso as to make the developmental process holistic. The drivers are mandated to undergo a monthly/quarterly screening to ensure adherence to the brand’s quality standards. This engenders a sense of accountability on the drivers’ end and helps better understand the issues taking place at a grassroots level. As quality-driven as Aaveg is, it never incurs any extra costs on
Mr. Sachin Agrawal’s Advice To Young Entrepreneurs
41
Stressing the importance of an “Entrepreneur’s Mindset”, Mr. Sachin Agrawal says “Youngsters should start thinking like an entrepreneur instead of an employee”. He often comes across highly competent candidates who have strong credentials, certifications, grades, etc., but lack the right attitude to be successful entrepreneurs. For this reason, he often tells his employees “You’re The CEO of your department, not the manager. Think and behave that way, and take extreme ownership.”
