CA Dhanashri Saurabh Fostering Women Entrepreneurship Through Holistic & Need-Specific Services

n the entrepreneurial space, we often come across examples of business leaders who’ve ushered a horizon-shift in their industry through their visionary attitude. Their thoughtful and inventive processes have gained widespread recognition at not just the regional but also national level. For women entrepreneurs especially, the aforesaid qualities shine even more exceptionally given the prevailing stereotypes in our country. Some of them have been so remarkably impactful in their work that they’ve redefined the very dynamics of women entrepreneurship in India. CA Dhanashri, the Founder of Swadeshri Advisory Services Pvt. Ltd, is one such woman entrepreneur who has been in the limelight for her reformative work. A champion for the entrepreneurial spirit in women, Dhanashri has helped umpteen businesswomen across India fructify their vision through her need-specific services. Dhanashri along with her mother-in-Law Mrs. Sadhana Deshmukh who also happens to be the Director in Swadeshri Advisory have been an steering the business in challenging times. The indomitable can-do spirit of Dhanashri towards women equality finds its roots in a mindset of consistency. This has been conspicuously evident in her since her formative days in Nandgaon, a small town in Nashik, Maharashtra. Her Parents have always had a progressive mindset and they educated and raised their girls to face the challenges of modern world. We’ll be highlighting the various defining aspects of Dhanashri’s brand, as well as the overall mindset that has shaped her current market stature.

A Deeper Look into Dhanashri’s Company

The most noteworthy aspect of Swadeshri’s services is the fact that it doesn’t just focus on money matters; it also emphasizes the social aspects of a woman. It designs a sustainable, tailormade solution with a human face for every case, thereby unleashing the latent unique potential of each woman.

Currently, Swadeshri provides financial and business enhancement handholding services to other small-scale business, esp. Those owned by woman entrepreneurs. As a business owner, Dhanashri feels wonderful collaborating with other small businesses and feels it makes sense for their financial plan. Hence majority of her clients are from marginalized sections esp. Women who lack in financial savings. She wishes to enrich them with the same in order to empower them the wings to their dreams. Not only does Swadeshri help them to save their money but also invest it for their secured future. This way, it also contributes to Nations Goal of ‘Financial Inclusion’. When businesses in a community work together, Dhanashri feels there’s much more to be gained in the local economy. According to her, this is the cornerstone of a sustainable and self-reliant economy.

Surmounting Market Challenges

As a leader with a reformative vision for women, Dhanashri is faced with a slew of daunting challenges while maneuvering her company. The first and foremost problem is to make people evolve out of the traditional old mentality that women should only cater to their children and household chores. She faced these barriers from her colleagues and seniors when she started working in Delhi. However, thanks to the progressive thinking and love & support from her husband and family, she was able to overcome these eventually. Some other problems the company faces is to get connected with the real beneficiaries, understand their needs, and work upon them online amid the pandemic. In addition, they also have the responsibility of keeping clients motivated to follow their dreams despite all odds & failures. Thanks to Dhanashri’s dogged persistence, the company is surmounting the aforesaid setbacks and gaining stability & momentum with time. In the process, she’s leveraging the power of digital media to maximise her impact.

The Altruistic Vision Behind Swadeshri

Through Swadeshri Advisory Services, Dhanashri holds the mission to create a meaningful and holistic change in the lives of women. The company’s major clientele specifically consists of young women from small towns, who have great ideas but not the necessary level of financial & procedural support. To foster their entrepreneurial vision and livelihood creation, Swadeshri hand holds these women across various aspects, such as: » » » » » »

Spurring Change Through Online Platforms

Getting various clearances and permissions for business. Helping procure and efficiently utilize funds. Identifying their True Passions via a Passion Test Series. Providing Money Manifestation Strategies. Helping manage Work-life balance. Fostering their Personal Development

Dhanashri owes much of her brand’s current success to social media. Unequivocally, she believes it’s a powerful tool to spark a palpable change in today’s society. With the IT revolution in the country, she elucidates that social media has become a pervasive platform where people can share the results of their hard work. Moreover, it has the power to reach millions at a relatively low cost.

Social media has given a voice and power to those who have been excluded by traditional media for ages. With the advent of novel technologies, many social media applications like Twitter, Telegram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others have been playing a key role in facilitating rapid flow of information. In terms of business advantages, the aforesaid platforms have helped Swadeshri easily connect with clients, gain vital information regarding them, connect with various stakeholders or investors, and also share their success stories. Conversely, the clients can also easily connect with them via a FB or WhatsApp text, or share their problem via a video or voice note on these platforms to get a real time solution.

more effective than consistency when it comes to making your company or performance stand out. In short, it is a “success habit” that leads to remarkable projects. Speaking of impediments, Dhanashri strongly urges all to never let the negative opinions of others get in the way of achieving your dreams. People will always be critical of whatever you do. Remember, however, these same people will clap for you when you achieve something significant. She furthermore spurs all to hone their transmutative ability for success – shielding your weakness into strengths and converting threats into opportunities. CA Dhanashri also believes in team spirit and always attributes her success to the team which supports her.

Keeping The Pace Amid COVID-19

Takeaways For Women Entrepreneurs

Amid the current pandemic, the relentless client support of Swadeshri witnessed numerous hindrances from the volatile market. Dhanashri observes that as COVID-19 continues to affect livelihoods around the world, she can already see that its economic fallout is having a regressive effect on gender equality. By her calculation, women’s jobs are 1.8 times more vulnerable to this crisis than men’s jobs Women make up 39 percent of global employment but account for 54 percent of overall job losses. One reason for the greater effect on women is that the virus is significantly increasing the burden of unpaid care, which is disproportionately carried by women. This, among other factors, means that women’s employment is dropping faster than average, even accounting for the fact that women and men work in different sectors. Furthermore, it is important to note that the impact could be more severe than the one Dhanashri has modelled here, if factors such as increased childcare burdens, attitudinal bias, slower recovery, or reduced public and private spending on services like education/childcare are considered. These factors make women leave the labor market permanently. The magnitude of inequality is striking; using data and trends from unemployment surveys in the US and India, where genderdisaggregated data is available, Dhanashri has derived the aforementioned statistics which signal a looming threat for women employment. To combat this employment threat, Dhanashri and her team are pouring in indefatigable efforts to holistically bolster women and their businesses. They’re also making a conscious initiative to propagate the cause across the country and spread awareness about their ongoing challenges.

Dhanashri’s Success Entrepreneurship

Mindset

Staying true to her staunch ideals, Dhanashri carefully chose the name of the Company Swadeshri to develop home-grown entrepreneurship and to realize the vision of “Atma Nirbhar Bharat” by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The basic philosophy of the company is “Every Girl has right to dream and we walk an extra mile with you to fulfil our dream”; the Motto of the company is “Your success is our business”. On a concluding note, she shares some invaluable insights which she feels will maximize the progress of budding female entrepreneurs:

Develop Your Passion

According to Dhanashri, many people misunderstand what passion is. They confuse interest with passion, but passion is the addition of interest and skills. It’s great that you’re interested in something, but for your interest to become a passion, you need to tirelessly work to acquire these skills. Once you’ve developed a passion, which is inward-focused, you want to use it to create an impact that’s outward-focused. The nature of this positive impact for others may then become your purpose.

Learn to Work With Numbers

The number one thing entrepreneurs need to understand is how they’ll make money. More specifically, they should learn to calculate what they can anticipate in terms of revenue and expenses once they start the business. This should take precedence over the general belief that customers will want to pay for their products or services. There are a lot of financial planning tasks associated with running a business, such as setting pricing, creating forecasts, managing cash flow, preparing taxes, etc. All of this should be meticulously calibrated to achieve a seamless functioning.

The indomitable can-do spirit of Dhanashri towards women equality finds its roots in a mindset of consistency. This has been conspicuously evident in her since her formative days in Nandgaon, a small town in Nashik, Maharashtra. Knowing the unequivocal importance of this quality, Dhanashri recommends all to be consistent in whatever business or life goals they have, and have a firm belief in their idea and give their best at it. Sometimes, it takes 10 years to get to that one year that will change your life....That’s why it’s worth imprinting in your mind: “JUST KEEP GOING. REMAIN CONSISTENT”. Dhanashri furthermore elucidates that consistency is the precursor to all noteworthy success in business. Nothing is

Be Open to Change & Innovation

Often, people in business get used to processes that are done in one way. Dhanashri however gas learnt to be open to change & innovation. On the operational front, she feels utilizing enterprise collaboration software and workflow automation is a powerful enhancer while growing a business. Furthermore she has learnt the fine art of striking a balance on multiple fronts. Trying to create a balanced operational strategy by combining people, technology, and processes is the point that will make you unique and stand out.

Beauty is for everyone

How we can maintain our beauty for a lifelong

ge is just a number and staying the same way beautiful is of utmost necessity to show the world that we can only age in number and not by nature. Using the same cosmetics of healthcare products at any age is not going to make any changes for the better especially when you age. Your skin requires sensitive care with each passing age and some of your products need to be changed as you age. If you want to stay as lively as you looked on your wedding day then chances are that you need a skincare and cosmetic makeover. Women often get stuck in beauty time wrap and try to re-create their young age look. However, they are unaware of certain beauty tips and hacks that can help them achieve so. Let us look at how we can stay the same beautiful at any decade of our lives:

Life during the 20s and 30s

It is a period of utmost skincare and sensitivity when the skin breaks out and is highly acne and blemish-prone. Also, there is a fight to get more radiant skin. So, the chief step to acquire so is to apply regular sunscreen. It protects skin from unwanted natural toxins especially from harmful U.V rays of the sun. Young age women must commit to proper sunscreen and reduce their skin risks to cancer and wrinkles from an early age. Ageing just dipping in right from the 30s so skincare coupled with a balanced diet is a regular issue to be kept in check.

HealthCare

Between the 30s and 40s

This is the period when your skin needs proper cleansing, toning and moisturizing. If there are any unlikely problems then it is best to be under a good dermatologist. Regular cleanup and skin monitoring are necessary. Most pregnant women must also keep a check on their lifestyle and help them with a proper diet which in turn can enhance skin quality and beauty. To look more trendy and modern, one can simply switch to the best cosmetics available on the market. However, using products containing alpha-hydroxyl or betahydroxy acids is recommended. These may include a variety of skin polishers and scrubs.

Life post-40s

The skin of every woman needs something at every age. But post 40, wearing a metallic shine over eyes or a simple glimmer lipstick shade can enhance your beauty only when the skin gets what it needs the most. Certain problems that don’t pop up during the early 20s or late 30s, definitely pop up or there are chances to come up after the 40s. Fine lines and wrinkles appear once you hit 40. This problem is due to collagen breakdown-natural fibre’s that form an invisible network of support underneath the skin and keep the skin plump and firm. The skin loses its moist look and becomes fragile. So the best thing to do is switch to skin expert solutions and try natural home-based products that first prevents ageing. The use of retinoids stimulates collagen production under the skin.

After the 50s and more

The skin starts getting damaged if proper care has not been taken till the 30s. At this span of life, the appearance of dead skin cells, toxins and dark patches appear. The elasticity loosens and wrinkles appear prominently. In case of serious ageing, one can opt for dermatologic procedures like Thermage – a radiofrequency treatment or Faxel- a laser treatment to tighten skin and stimulate further collagen production. There are high chances of hormone-related skin problems, including adult acne. Sometimes it may be a gynecological problem due to menopause which also needs to diagnose with much importance. Often acne is confused with rosacea, another skin problem that results in very bad breakouts which require different treatment. 50+ women need extra care to protect skin from damage and reduce the harmful effects of menopause. Products designed to increase collagen production, including antioxidants like idebenone C Vitamin C and copper peptides, must be used. Thus, to minimize the adversity and skin problems at any age of your life and to stay flawless and young, one must undertake these above steps and mostly follow a balanced diet and a proper healthy lifestyle. A good mind and body is the secret to good skin. Above 50 and 60 skin needs focusing on products with super-moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, wrinklefighters like pentapeptides and idebenone. Firming creams acts as a streamlined facial contour along sunblock must be continued to use.

Helping Businesses #WorkFromAnywhere

he last decade has witnessed a surge of dynamic technologies that’ve redefined the operations of several industries. In the last few years especially, this change has been most palpable with the remarkable rise of work-fromhome and remote operations for businesses. A few companies have been particularly adept at adapting to the evolving demands of this new market. Their novel technologies have paved the way for breakthrough concepts that’ve collectively raised the innovation standards of their industry. In this article, we’ll be covering one such esteemed company, We360. ai, which is a pioneer in providing efficient employee monitoring software to businesses. The company has ushered new standards of excellence in its niche technology, thereby maximizing the employee productivity of clients. From ingenious tech to empathetic customer care, there are various defining elements that have shaped a robust growth trajectory for the company.

The Inspiration That Conceived the Brand

Arnav Gupta | Founder & CEO | We360.ai 38

We360.ai was conceived by young entrepreneur Arnav Gupta in 2020 along with his co-founders Swapnil and Sandeep, in response to

On the marketing front, the company refrains from using inauthentic, mass-scale tactics and prefers a more conscious approach. It leverages account-based and intentbased marketing to reach companies around the world in a cost-effective manner.

the remote working trend that gained momentum amid COVID-19. His vision was to help businesses optimize the productivity of their workforce, which saw a conspicuous decline owing to the new home-working environment. Arnav was furthermore spurred by an intrinsic drive to create his own startup and provide value for SMBs, who are generally neglected. He also attributes his entrepreneurial drive to genetic inheritance; his father too is an entrepreneur who has his own company. Arnav’s foremost belief is that if you create value and solve problems, it will have a definite impact on the world. Speaking of his initial entrepreneurial struggles, Arnav recalls how he had a hard time on the recruitment front. Being in a Tier-2 City, it was always difficult for him to find people with relevant skills and experience to build a startup. His team eventually started skill development of the people they hired and it helped a lot. Over time, he was able to develop a strong workforce with a broad array of abilities & competencies. As of 2022, We360 has created a palpable impact in the market, redefining the productivity standards of several clients from both national & international backgrounds. Its success can be largely attributed to the extensiveness of its service portfolio.

Reinventing The Industry

Going forward, We360 has some ambitious plans which it’ll systematically execute in the coming time. Speaking of its goals for 2022, the company plans to bring in Health360, which will be a powerful aid for managers and business owners. It will effectively help them know the overall health of their organization with respect to burnouts, underutilization, etc. Another foremost objective of the company is to make its software more ‘employee-friendly’. In essence, they want it to act as a self-help tool for employees to check their own productivity. Arnav also hopes to secure his first round of funding for his startup in these years. Being from a Tier-2 city, he strongly believes that startups tend to lose focus over the long run. He strives to be strongly focused on his journey and create a better product for his consumers every day.

Arnav’s Rich Entrepreneurial Insights

We360’s Multifaceted Services

The years of arduousness fazed by Arnav in entrepreneurship has taught him some invaluable lessons. Being a college dropout, things were way more difficult for him than he first imagined. He believes constantly upskilling himself has helped a lot in this regard. Furthermore, he feels finding a good mentor early on in the journey proved to be very powerful. Dr. Nilesh played this role in his life. He quotes Gary Vaynerchuk saying “If anybody ever did it, then you can do it too!”

As a value-driven professional, Arnav believes that intent and integrity is always superior to intellect. He aims to serve clients in the most optimal manner by creating a unique ecosystem of services for SMBs in India. This would solve their problem of acquiring 5 different software by syncing them all in one place. Given below are the different facets encompassed by We360: » » » »

Automated Attendance. Productivity Monitoring. HR Tech. Project & Task Management.

Lastly, Arnav sums up his entrepreneurial wisdom in two key takeaways that were greatly attributed to his supportive peers. They go as follows: a. The most practical way to succeed is to surround yourself with people who are more intelligent than you and show them a common vision. Finding a good mentor early in the journey is a game-changer.

In addition to its services, the company is also characterized by an integral emphasis on its customer care and marketing fronts.

Integral Customer Care & Marketing

The We360 Brand stands for the motto #WorkFromAnywhere. The first thing that the company conveys through its brand is that clients can be relieved and trust its software to help their employees work from anywhere in the world, and still be productive and in sync. So as to ensure holistic care, the company has created a customer success team to personally talk to all clients via email or phone. This helps them better resolve their problems and educate them better to use their software with best practices.

b. The more you sweat , the luckier you get. As rightly said by Elon Musk - Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and starting into the abyss of death. If you feel like you are up for that , then only start a company.

We are also looking at multiple major industrial and corporate alliances.”

Chinmay Anaokar’s rise from the bottom to the top of the corporate ladder combined with his entrepreneurial experience have equipped him with domain expertise and knowledge of major pain areas in Cloud Computing.

To aspiring entrepreneurs, he was a few words of encouragement. “Starting a business is not difficult; getting clients is not difficult either. The most difficult part is retaining the clients and keeping them happy. Once you learn to do that, there is nothing in the world that will stop you from being a good businessman.”

Michael Collura | President and CEO | In Home Personal Services

Making Homecare available, affordable & accessible

ome is where the heart is and you all will agree that there is no place like home. It is the place where we enjoy ourselves with our families and feel complete freedom. Home care is a booming industry where a wide range of customized services is being offered in the convenience of home. Home care providers provide a plethora of services for care and assistance like never before. A booming brand in this industry is the ‘In Home Personal Services’ that relentlessly provides care, ensuring a safe, healthy, active, and independent lifestyle of grace and compassion. The company is a non-medical senior care business offering services from both corporate-owned as well as locally owned and operated franchises across the US. We had the privilege to interview Mr. Michael Collura, President, and CEO, who talked about his successful journey of taking this company from plinth to paramount.

Embarking on a New Journey

Climbing up the ladder

Through the relentless zeal and perseverance of Michael, what started as a project of passion way back in 2004 is now a successful franchise chain. Growing at a staggering pace, it has expanded throughout the United States. For Michael, it has been an eventful journey and a rewarding experience knowing that the legacy of the brand has ever so grown stronger day by day standing on the core pillars of quality and staying focused on the mission.

Michael started the argument and remarked that “most CEOs are overpaid and entitled” when asked about whether CEOs today face equal competition or is there and it’s okay attitude. According to him, the social and economic divide is apparent across all industries. He explains that the top 1% earn staggeringly high income as compared to others. When it comes to Michael, he assures that he is not overpaid rather he prefers to make others happy with the fortune. He has had wages as low as $0 for an entire year where 100% of his wages were given back to the team as wages and benefits. For him, leadership is about making an impact on the brand and not who gets the bigger cheque. He adds that there will be some difference in the compensations based on responsibilities but when a large divide exists in this world, it is a shame not to do anything about it.

The Life of CEO

The life of a CEO is often thought of as a road less travelled by, the one which is of struggles but certainly full of lessons that one can learn during this period. Michael believes that every leader has their own sets of hardships on their journey of learning and understanding. As a successful entrepreneur himself, he asserts that struggles may be idiosyncratic, what is important is how to face adversity, get stronger, and move forward towards your goal. Michael is grateful for all the challenges life has thrown at him and the experiences have turned him into a versatile leader. What makes Michael satisfied are the people who believed in him and are still present as his support system. His existence will be incomplete without a team, where he modestly remarks that he is not that good enough, smart enough, and important enough to achieve this spectacular feat without any of them.

What lies ahead in the future?

The company has been a pioneer in this industry and perseveres to sustain this growth. Already in 2022, Michael explains that they have a record number of franchise units joining them. During the conversation, another set of franchise agreements was closed for the Las Vegas, NV area. The future belongs to those who work in the present, Michael and his team are surely on the paths of progress.

Michael is boastful about only two things –

Dominating the market

» Absolute joy and fulfilment they bring to the life of others » The team that leads to the mission

Every client that the company serves is special to them. What is important to know is that the care and the service they provide are beyond luxury or comfort. Treat the client as if you are that client and with unmatched diligence provide the care that the entire family wants and relies upon. The trust and belief that our these clients manifest is a serious undertaking for Michael’s team. These sweet little stories are shared every week in franchises spread out across the country that are making an impact on the quality of life of people. Michael is glad that the company is among the favorite providers when it comes to making life better. He describes that on daily basis they adapt, grow and pivot everything from the perspective of their business model to the care provided to an individual. So, changing market trends do not challenge them as they are also not built out of “trend”. For Michael, R&D is paramount, one needs to think in the forward direction and be innovative otherwise they will do what others are doing. “To cater to what clients look for, you need to constantly put in the effort”, he says.

He says every other milestone and achievement belongs to them. When it comes to giving back to society, Michael shares that everything the company does is a step towards the improvement of the quality of life to those under their care, in the relief and security the company provides. He adds that the team and their families to be a part of this amazing brand and community for creating a long-term sustainable professional job that builds trust and make a difference in the lives of ordinary people.

A motivational advice

Michael firmly believes that being a CEO means nothing, an entrepreneur sounds nice but a leader in their true sense will impact the world around us. In short, he says, “Don’t aspire to be an entrepreneur, be a leader”. Michael advises all the budding entrepreneurs who want to shine brighter than the sun is you should back your dreams and turn every failure into a success story. All successful people embrace failures as it is a part of growth and learning. But when you fail because you have given up, is the only time you truly failed otherwise it is better to fail at what you love doing and keep fighting for success.

Building people

Michael’s visionary leadership reflects upon the idea that leaders are not meant to please everyone, “There will always be those who will find a reason to be unhappy”, he exclaims. What is vital to understand is, one cannot control the emotions of others, you can only control your response.

6 natural ways to stay beautiful without makeup

ften looking good isn’t enough without doing makeup. Every time a girl steps out, she must be wearing a bright shade of lipstick, good face powder and some kohl to enlighten the eye look. Starting from simple lip colour to a swipe of concealer, girls do what not these days to hide their acne, pimples, dark patches, differences in skin tones and any other flaws that make them look lesser than beautiful. Still, they feel like they hardly look good when compared with others on road, some of whom may have a well-toned body of a brighter shade skin. However, what needs to be realized is that several natural techniques can prove as flawless beauty hacks for your skin and make the necessity of putting layers of foundations, almost gone. Your face simply needs make-up detox to let your skin breathe and stay healthy all-round the year. There are certain ways to do so, so let us have a look at some of the many techniques that can naturally boost the health and quality of your skin. •

The use of sunscreen is a must. There is often a saying that sunscreen must be worn only during sunny days or periods of the day as the name suggest. However, it is a wrong concept. Sunscreen is a skin booster and protector against harmful U.V rays of the sun which can hamper skin tone and health. It also guards the skin against pollution and toxic elements of the atmosphere. It is a basic skincare detox ritual to be followed every day whenever you are going out or even at home. Make sure to apply a sunscreen-based moisturizer 15 minutes before stepping out.

•

The use of hot lemon water is another long-lasting good technique to naturally rejuvenate skin. Drinking a cup of hot lemon water early in the morning gives your skin a detox treatment to flush out unwanted toxins. It internally purifies blood which is the hidden truth behind giving you glowing skin. The rich anti-oxidant properties reduce the effect of overstressing that can wrinkle your skin.

• Try a tinted moisturizer when you think your appearance looks dull and it changes too much during seasonal changes. Relying on a tinted moisturizer gives a medium coverage for dull-looking skin which later requires high coverage of foundations for big occasions. Use of a regular moisturizer removes any dark and unwanted patches from your skin, especially the areas that are sensitive to dirt and dust accumulations. It also improves blood circulation and reduces the possibility of occurrences of acne and blemishes.

•

The use of a good quality toner is extremely essential. After washing our face, we should never moisturize without going through the toner step as it is very essential for healthy skincare acquirement. Using a toner post-cleaning balances the pH levels of the skin and leaves your skin refreshed. However, it is necessary to use a toner that fits your skin type to yield the best possible results of toning. Toning eradicates the chances of accumulation of unwanted toxins in various areas of your skin.

•

Keep your skin hydrated. This is a very necessary but simple step. Keeping skin hydrated by drinking lots of water during the day is both simple and compulsory. Also, you can make use of hydrating moisturizers daily during day and night to keep skin free of wrinkles and make its texture smooth. Use of proper night cream before going to bed is another supplementary hydrating technique as the skin dries up mostly during the nighttime. Hydration not only keeps the skin supple but also controls the fine working of the cells.

•

Do not forget to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation refers to getting rid of dead skin cells that can clog pores and reduce the ability of your skin to breathe. This can give the skin a dull look. Hence, the use of a good scrub to exfoliate your face is a must. Depending on your skin type, once can exfoliate twice or thrice a week. However, it is necessary to use a fine scrubber rather than harsh ones which can create a coarse texture on your skin. Exfoliation also encourages circulation and helps skin cells breathe freely.
