Success Story

India is a vast country being run by young guns comprising more than two-third of the entire population. These blossoming minds have become source of innovations to usher whole new world of comfort and sustenance.

Our lives have become quite easier due to endeavors of many such millennial. They keep coming with out-of-the-box concepts to bring solution to some of the most complicated problems.

Ritesh Agarwal Founder of OYO Rooms

We are well aware of OYO rooms that pioneered the concept of affordable BnB (Bed & Breakfast) rooms that sums up to thousands of rooms spread across a network of more than five hundred hotels. OYO is not an owner of any hotel; rather, it makes partnership with numerous hotels and gets hold of some rooms to be given out to people looking to avail OYO services. It focuses on standardizing the hotels in the non-branded hospitality sector. Oyo rooms are a very successful venture as it has managed to solve the issue of affordability, cleanliness and availability of budget hotels across all Tiers-I and Tier-II cities in the country.

Ritesh Agarwal, the founder of the company, is really an inspiration for millions of budding entrepreneurs. Being 23 years old, it takes extraordinary skills and talent to earn accolades, that he has quite successfully gained. Coming from a down-to-earth family in Cuttack, his journey to the zenith of success has hardly been a smooth one. Despite living in an era of startups, he had to face a multitude of obstacles in order to make his unconventional idea work. The hardships of years eventually paid well. He gained a lot of success by understanding business needs and building something that people want. It’s not always easy to get a start up funded. A new wave of venture capitalism has helped burgeoning entrepreneurs like Ritesh to explore their entrepreneurial avenues. There is no more a need to travel to Silicon Valley.

To pursue his passion of becoming an entrepreneur, he enrolled into Indian School of Business & Finance, Delhi but left college mid-way to start his own company. He was hesitant about his decision but from the beginning was very clear about what he wanted to do and took some tough choices to accomplish his dreams. He measured the corners of the country and during such travels, discovered the problem with budget hotels. At the age of 17, he launched Oravel travels, modeled after Airbnb, which later branched out to become OYO rooms. Soon he discovered that the problem with budget hotels was bigger than just availability, so, to counter other issues, he launched OYO.The very year he launched Oravel travels, he was nominated for the Thiel fellowship. The fellowship is designed by Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal and provided a college drop-out, less than 22 years of age, a sum of $100,000 to pursue a start-up dream. Needless to say, he’s the only Indian to receive it.

Facilitating Fullstack customer intelligence & personalized engagements at various touch-points to enable better Marketing & Sales Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect or this elegant read, we sat down for a virtual conversation with Mr. Vijay Chander who is the Co-founder- CEO of Decisive Analytical Systems Pvt. Ltd. The company has been known to be a reliable service provider that targets to solve the marketing challenges permanently as per different business requirements. Driving customer-centric engagement automation, it has developed a flagship product - Plumb5 that lays the groundwork for prodigious business growth by ensuring consistent automation of business processes. Dive into this narrative that comprises an inclusive vision established by leaders of the company while navigating through multifaceted aspects of Plumb5’s process.

F

HOW DID IT START? It all started back in 2013 when a triad of corporate professionals decided to establish an organization- Decisive Analytical Systems Pvt. Ltd. The decision was based on the realization of the fact that digital marketing is about to become one of the major industries in the next decade.

The core objective of the company was to build an effective platform that could put forth some tech-based, realtime solutions using realtime data that could address the increasing demand of the digital marketing industry. Thus, Plumb5 came into existence where 5 denotes the 5 stages of customer life cycle starting from acquisition to retention for any business. Vijay explains those as following• • • • •

Anonymous individual reaching out to a service provider Converting that anonymous visitor into a lead Conversion of that lead into a customer Customer retention with repeatability Formation of a valuable customer base/ Volunteer ambassador of the product

The secret sauce behind this machine is the ability to compute in real-time and output customer states, which is consumed by the automation engine to respond based on rules for any kind of customer request.

The translation of an anonymous visitor into a volunteering ambassador is the overall journey for business. And if you wish to be a digital imprint then you can march this journey digitally.

For this, one needs to store the customer data- journey, behavior and engagement at a single place that is effortlessly accessible in real-time with the time-stamp. Hence, Plumb5 facilitates these

22

aspects as a unified marketing platform backed with the capability of tracking, interactions, and sensible engagement in real-time on multiple channels. “You need a platform to have your customer’s data intelligently interacted with your audience based on your automation ability. The stored information will assist you to easily decide to take the bestaction one aspires to perform as per the company,” conveyed Vijay Chander.

VALUES, MISSION AND MORE… Driven by distinct facets- First party data collection, intelligent Engagement in realtime, Customer State Management, Automation, Analytics and Business Intelligence, Plumb5 has come up with some phenomenal solutions that shatter the cycle of bundled silos inducing latency and inaccuracy. Such inefficient solutions bring down the overall business performance, directly or indirectly affecting productivity.

With its 24/7 real-time solutions, Plumb5 has been facilitating a perfect unification of data to allow customer engagement automation. It poses to be a seamless machine that with a decisive system drives one’s business to better prospects. As a state machine, it possesses the capability to ensure realtime engagement that is regardless of any customer touch-point.

The company is driven by a sole mission to impart the industry with the truest knowledge-based solutions where the customer centricity is in the absolute ‘know’ what he is going for. “Scripting the true value of data-based automation into the market and customer place with a transformational mindset imparting relevant knowledge is what our mission statement says,” asserts the Co-founder.

In terms of vision, it aspires to emerge as one of the top 5 real-time marketing automation organizations in the world.

Here, the luminary asserts that he has envisioned it to become a robust platform-based company instead of just being a point-solution company.

THE EVOLUTIONARY JOURNEY OF PLUMB5 Thinking ahead of the curve is mandatory to lay down a strong foundation.

Technology

Smartphones are smartly tracking you

So, Beware!

With the invention of mobiles, communication is no longer an obstacle around the globe. It is the greatest revolution in the history of technology; dependency on wireless communication becomes a need of contemporary times.

Smart phone becomes an essential multi-tasking device; it has touched variant spheres of life. Online shopping, video calling, rapid transmission of messages, watching movies, the list does not stop here, it goes beyond become possible due to the availability of smart phones. On the contrary, are there only benefits of android phones? The answer to this eminent question is ‘No’, because there are numerous privacy deteriorating concerns associated with smart phones. Let’s dig into detail, what serious security issues can be caused by smart phones?

DOWNLOADING SMART APPS LEADS TO LEAKAGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Numerous applications are installed in our mobiles for varying purposes in day-to-day regime. For example game applications, cookery apps, Facebook, and Instagram apps. Have you ever thought they are the biggest threats to our security? ‘No’ because everybody in this world is entirely dependent on these applications; they are immensely enjoying the benefits of these apps.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition May 2022 INDIA

A technocrat says,

“If technology provides you comforts then it takes a lot from you.”

When you download applications from Play store, they track your personal information like location, name, photos in gallery, your contacts, etc. which is quite dangerous to your security.

Camera in smart phones capture beautiful photographs; on the other hand, it also identifies the faces in the pictures, and provides all the relevant information to the phone’s company and Google.

Unscrupulous sources can get your personal information through these applications which cause serious threats to your privacy and dignity. Gaming applications like PUBG, candy crush, etc. from the screen’s camera even track your favorite TV programs, and inform the Google for displaying similar ads as of your choice. I know it is quite surprising and jaw-dropping fact.

GPS AND SEVERE RISKS ATTACHED TO IT

GPS stands for Geosynchronous Positioning Satellite; the prominent purpose of this application in smart phones is to find out the route of a particular location. For an instance, if you wish to go from Hauz Khas to Rajiv Chowk via car, turning the GPS ON of your phone, you can easily reach to the destination by following the indicated directions.

This is one of the incredible advancements in the sector of communication and technology.

If there are undeniable benefits of using GPS, then a multitude of demerits are also involved. GPS challenges a person’s security to a tremendous level which cannot be ignored.

The application works with an internet, when you turn GPS ON, then a number of malicious apps are downloaded on smart phones. These applications are constantly tracking your route, and try to know your intended destination. This leads to multiple crimes in the cities by providing all the relevant information to the undignified elements.

In fact, uploading locations on Facebook and Instagram provides imperative information to the third party like about your social circle, venue of a particular event, number of people in social gathering, etc. This is a serious concern, and some relevant steps should be taken to curb a leakage of information in order to be safe.

HOW TO STOP APPLICATIONS TRACKING YOU?

Your safety is your prime responsibility; if you use smartphones smartly then definitely you are going to be secure and safe. Now, an indispensable question arises, how can you be secure?

There are number of applications which you download; the best way to ensure privacy is to turn off the location access. In fact, uninstall all the irrelevant apps which are occupying a large space of your smart phones. These applications are accessing your personal details without letting you know, so it’s feasible to delete unwanted applications.

While watching videos on Youtube, or other channels, do not click on the ads in between. Try to skip them as they are the potent sources of security threat. Many viruses and unwanted applications can cause a serious harm.

One of the renowned IT entrepreneurs in an interview with Business Connect says,” We cannot avoid smart phones, but we can be vigilant towards our security.”

As a visionary, Mr Khurana identified the prolific scopes in the changing supply chain domain and believed in delivering solutions that show passion. “There is a lot of scope for logistics service providers who can offer quality services with flexibility and commitment”, he says.

Social Media Platforms – Optimize efficiency by transferring information and building better communication with clients Logistics Technology - To address the fast turnaround times, and safety challenges.

The trucks and other freight carrying vehicles consists of features like lane assist and backup cameras, to ensure safe deliveries.

A plausible example of its R&D and technology integration is its ERP platform.

The platform enables clients to check the real-time status of their consignments; and process orders online as well. “The platform enables the suitable transfer of information on the click of a button”, acclaims Mr Khurana. The platform can be accessed via website or as an app.

Employees are encouraged for higher education and nurtured with skill-based training programs to upscale overall excellence. Also, they find well-defined salary and incentive structure, and top performers are rewarded with much more than their annual salary packages. “Our Motto is - work more and earn more”, shares Mr Khurana.

The positivity creates a cheerful ambience and people work as an entrepreneur instead of an employee.

Mr Khurana also states, “Everyone here works very hard and party harder”.

As mentioned before, logistics is constantly encountering changes. And to thrive, R&D is indispensable. Inext believes and works towards surpassing its competitors. It constantly confers new practices, welcomes new technology to create effective solutions.

Digitization is the name of the game!

Modern logistics systems are bundled with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Smart Sensors, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with cloud computing. So how can Inext stay back in this race? The Company has boarded all the competencies, starting from:

The Collaboration gave a major upper hand during the pandemic. While constantly struggling with the lockdown, it stayed to commitments and deployed its team to fulfil the supply chain requirements. Through a flexible and cost-effective manner, it partnered with customers to understand their concerns and devise solutions & strategies to keep the wheels in motion.

All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.

— John Kenneth Galbraith

T

hus we begin, looking closely into a life that started with nothing but a dream, a vision to create a macrocosm of the most progressive ideas to give birth to the most cutting edge technology and committed services which we now know fashioned into Jade Global, a name that lives beyond its business entity. It is the very extension of its CEO, Karan Yaramada’s ethos. And it has proven its mettle in the face of the Pandemic, thriving not just due to a resilient business strategy that was an innate part of Jade Global, but also the sheer perseverance exhibited by its people.

We give you a glimpse into how Karan Yaramada, winner of the CEO World Award 2020, anchored Jade Global. Today Jade Global is recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in North America by Inc. 5000 (winning the place for 10 consecutive years), and making constant appearances in global power lists as a preferred strategic technology partner for companies on their digital transformation journey.

LET’S BEGIN FROM THE BEGINNING: A VISION IN THE VALLEY There is a hint of a smile on his face, reminiscence, as he looks back at the days that made all the difference. Helming this solo ship was not the easiest. Especially in 2003, when Silicon Valley was mushrooming with a million big ideas waiting to turn into billion bucks. Karan started small. He founded Jade Global with Oracle Partnership in San Jose, its US headquarter and the first office. “We were unknown. I had a handful of people and an idea. I wanted to make businesses breathe easy. Oracle, a big name even then, became our cornerstone. And stays to this day one of our strongest suits,” Karan reflects.

By 2005, Jade Global had 50+ employees and Salesforce Alliance & Microsoft Gold Partnerships. Jade successively added Snowflake Managed Services, AWS, ServiceNow, Zuora, NetSuite, and a Boomi Elite Partnership over the years to its growing partner landscape. Today Jade Global has 1000+ employees, spread across 7 cities, including offices in Austria, Canada, and India. However, one of its greatest milestones is the establishment of Jade Global’s R&D Unit: Jade Labs, a locus of innovation that adds a unique flavor to its partner offerings.

Karan adds, “Jade Global has made it to this juncture due to its great partner alliances. But then we were not the only ones out there offering an Oracle, or a Salesforce service. It was so essential to get our own blend here, so our clients know the difference is not just in the service but the entire ecosystem we bring to the table.”

PANDEMIC & TRANSITION TRANSLATING DIGITAL REQUIREMENTS INTO PRACTICAL REALITIES STARTS AT HOME “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea,” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Now that the vaccination is out and the world slowly settles back into a near-normal rhythm, businesses are trying hard to make a comeback. It is not easy. Jade Global survived the storm, albeit with a few scratches. It was impossible for businesses to come out unscathed after all. What was the magic formula? We want to know how Jade Global made it.

While many are harping on about the “digital transformation” wave, Jade Global has been living and realizing it for its clients.

The Two-Time Honoree, listed among the Fastest Growing Silicon Valley and Philadelphia Enterprises in 2016 & 2018, has steered 2600+ technology projects across a range of industries.

One of the company’s mainstays is adaptation through digital synergies that are at the very root of all its processes. Digitization is a way of life at Jade Global, which was in effect even before the pandemic hit and virtual offices came into being.

“We had almost unknowingly been preparing for this period over the past few years. We went on to become a 100% remote workforce almost overnight without any glitches. This was possible because all our employees had company-issued laptops and secured VPN Access; everything was on the cloud, including our office collaboration suite, time and billing system, and network security,” Karan beams.

“It was not just about the set-up, those were pieces that naturally fell into place, it was also the state of mind, that needed attention,” he continues.

Jade Global’s leadership team along with Karan created guidelines to follow for the entire company based on a wellformulated and informed design: the 3Ps Approach: In their first Virtual meeting the CEO urged his people to internalize this approach; Protect-Preserve-Promote.

In compliance with the points stated above, Jade Global declared a work from home policy in their US Offices and India offices at least two weeks before the Government of India announced its first lockdown. Its employees have continued to preserve and demonstrate the same work ethics as they did during the prepandemic days.

“In fact, we have seen a surge in employee productivity and each one of our employees has displayed great dedication in promoting the spirit of Jade Global by coming together and donating generously towards the Feeding America fund in the United States and the Prime Minister Cares fund in India,” adds Karan.

Jade Global managed to raise 1,000,000+ INR in India and $15,000+ in the United States to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

THE GOLDEN RULE: Jade Global is One People It was ultimately the humane approach that triumphed over all else. Karan reiterates the importance of forging strong bonds with people you work with. It becomes even more poignant during the crisis.

“We urged all managers to reach out to every team member so that we had an open line of communication between all 41

employees. We were able to gain insight into the challenges of all employees and take the appropriate steps to solve these issues,” says Karan.

The company equally shared the financial burden, with more than 75% of employees worldwide expressing willingness in taking salary deferrals along with the leadership team that showed the path. The company swam through it with zero layoffs and the salary deferral program never actually taking off. He expresses, “It never came down to it. And I am glad it turned out that way.”

Another aspect of Karan that echoes through Jade Global is transparency. The leader’s demeanor is reflective of a simple candor, which is very much a part of Jade Global’s fabric. Facts and vulnerabilities were never held back from employees. Karan attributes their success to this openness, which has overarched into all their other practices and dealings.

When asked about how he keeps his people motivated, he says, “It is tough to drive a uniform culture as we keep growing and there is no silver bullet to prevent this. However, keeping the conversation open and encouraging connections throughout the company is how I manage the risk and keep everybody motivated. We encourage open dialogue and an open-door policy. Furthermore, we invest in employee growth, learning and development to align our internal business practices with our vision.”

ONWARD THEY MARCH WITH NEW SOLUTIONS, NEW INDUSTRIES, AND NEW ALLIANCES: “Hi-tech & Life Sciences Industries have a great need for technology that enables process automation and seamless integration for both internal and external partners as well as applications,” notes Karan.

Jade Global has worked with over 150 Hi-tech customers to make strategic investments in launching unique industry solutions that will transform the business processes across the board. The solution consists of reference digital architecture with a pre-configured solution consisting of 70% of the most popular and relevant use cases in combination with leading purpose-built solutions.

Jade Global’s Pre-configured Life Sciences Industry Solution addresses Key CGxP requirements, Financial Reporting & Cost Management, Compliant Clinical & Commercial Supply Chain operations, pre-built Analytics, Trading Partner Integrations inclusive of overarching Compliance & Validation Framework hence providing a comprehensive Scalable Digital operations platform helping companies stay competitive and foster growth.

Jade Global stays current, relevant, compassionate, and adaptive. It is one of the few businesses that provided a strong emotional safety net for its employees, who fought the hysteria with the support of their leader.

“Though it may seem like a fore thought now, but reality is, we were all panic stricken. Jade Global may have started as my dream, however, it is not just mine anymore, and I owe that to my people. To make it happen, take it forward, and persist,” he concludes.

And we see the smile getting wider, just a bit more. “As one of the contributors to the digital wave, I know, here on, the future only gets better, so we better get future ready”, spoke the Thinker, the Visionary, and the man who brought his ship to the shore. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition May 2022 INDIA

FOUNDER’S COLUMN Mr. Ajay Mehrotra shares the lessons learned through experiences, challenges, and facing the odds in life.

From the foundation day, our target has always been not only to achieve but to surpass the standards of our customers.

In our journey of achieving this feat, I have learned a few life lessons that many entrepreneurs wish they knew sooner in their journey • I truly agree that you can only do so much that you think you can do. No one will believe in your talent until you believe in it yourself!

• Ask people you meet what they do to stay inspired.

Use their recommendation all the time. Watch the videos that they’re suggesting. Look out for TED talks. Do something that will infuse the day with inspiration and motivation. Delete the things that don’t do it.

BEFORE SIGNING OFF, MR. AJAY MEHROTRA SHARES IMMENSELY VALUABLE WORDS OF WISDOM I have embedded these lines from Richie Frieman into my life and lived by this, says the CEO. I highly recommend all young people who are working hard towards creating a successful life, to read, understand and apply this in their life as an entrepreneur. It will act as a life changer.

“There is a big misconception about being a “failure” at something and “failing” at something. You are either succeeding or failing but are neither a failure nor a success. Did I fail to get that deal, yes? But am I failing as a businessman because of that deal? No. Once you can accept that failure (like rejection) happens and WILL happen again, then you will only then become a mature entrepreneur. If you quit after one failed attempt, then well, you shouldn’t be in this business in the first place.”

SEALMATIC INDIA PVT. LTD.

SECURING YOUR CRITICAL OPERATIONS WITH CUSTOMIZED MECHANICAL SEALS Indranil Roy | Business Connect In any process plant, the precision of rotating machinery depends upon its ability to work without leakages through shafts thereby, bringing mechanical seals into play. The strict legislation to prevent leakage of hazardous media makes it mandatory to install mechanical seals. A suitable mechanical seal avoids high-pressure fluid leakage at the entry or exit point of a rotating shaft, ensuring smooth operation.

Umar A K Balwa Managing Director

With its customized solutions, the Company receives 100+ visits from foreign customers. Along with customized equipment, its solutions extend to - installation and training of the personnel at the end-user premises. The end-to-end framework upscales its name on the leaderboards.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SUCCESS Sealmatic is spearheaded by Umar A K Balwa (Managing Director) & Hanif S Chaudhary (Executive Director). Both of them have worked in fluid sealing technology and earned an in-depth understanding of products, engineering and aftermarket services. Umar’s journey in the industry began in 1989, from AK Engineering, a nascent subsidy of his familyowned Balwa Group. Balwa Group was well-known in the real estate and hospitality industries, and AK Engineering was a manufacturer and supplier of mechanical seals. Here, Umar spent a diverse career spanning over 3 decades in international trade, especially in Europe and the USA. He was responsible for overseeing Balwa Group’s joint Ventures with Feodor Burgmann, Krombach and many more. All went well until 2004 when the German-based Company was acquired by a bigger conglomerate. The dismal reached his doorstep, and he and his family had to sell the company’s shares to the parent firm. This broke Umar but didn’t shatter his dream to foray into mechanical seals technology and build an ecosystem of growth.

His dream saw the light when in 2011, a former colleague of A K Engineering, Hanif proposed the idea to shape their expertise, establishing a plant designed with International standards. Not only technical competence but, they envisioned it to be an ecosystem of highly trained professionals. Hence, endeavouring on collaborative efforts, Sealmatic was brought into the spotlight in 2012. Umar had great learning from his previous venture, which helped him in his second innings. In the years, that followed, Sealmatic earned a profound reverence with customized products, international certifications and much more. Its focus on knowledge helped it bring adept tools, like MSD (Mechanical Seal Dictionary), SSG (Seal Selection Guide), AKH (Application Know How), etc., which catapulted Sealmatic to the big league of international players.

A HOUSE OF TAILOR-MADE OFFERINGS Sealmatic’s out of the box approach and experience, are the key driving factor of its high-octane business. It helps them design heavy-duty mechanical seals for pumps, compressors, agitators and other rotary equipments. Applications where pressures exceed 100 kg/cm2 or temperature above 350°C, slurry content, materials having high viscosity, etc., its products scale everything and ensures productivity isn’t hampered. “Designing these products isn’t a cup of tea

47

and installing a customized mechanical seal is equally challenging”, says Umar. But the rich data bank created in the last 32 years, helps them craft the aforementioned features.

Adding to it, raw materials are imported from Germany, the USA and the UK, and doesn’t compromise on metallurgy.

With an unadulterated fusion of knowledge, technology and raw materials, Sealmatic’s tailored offerings find valuable applications in oil & gas, offshore platforms, pipeline booster pumps, heavy-duty slurry pumps, high-pressure agitators in chemical plants, high-temperature rotary equipment in refineries and other relevant platforms.

A LEGACY OF GROWTH Starting out in 1989, pledging unparallel quality, Sealmatic has turned the tide in all aspects. With one of the most advanced facilities and adept professionals, the company has earned a strong name amongst global players. Mr Balwa’s efforts and endeavours are highly appreciated across the industry and he has earned the title “SealMan”. Sealmatic has earned several accolades in its path namely: • International Achiever’s Award presented at 10th International Achievers Summit • IES Award for Sealmatic’s continuous contributions and dedication to the industry • Udyog Rattan Award in recognition of the company’s dedication in discharging duties towards the corporate sector • Indian Achiever’s Award for Business Excellence and Mr Balwa’s Professional Achievement On the business front, Sealmatic is enjoying exponential growth expanding from its 220 sq. ft. space. Mr Balwa confers this journey as the collaborative effort of everyone associated with a vision that the leaders share. A journey that began with a budding firm called A K Engineering has developed over the years, creating a massive impact around the world.

The company has shown remarkable growth, with reliable and safe solutions at cost-effective prices.

GEARED UP FOR MORE MILESTONES After 3 decades of success through a qualified team providing leadership, direction, and vision, Sealmatic aims to be at the acme of its space. While its already preferred across 45 nations, the company aims to increase its reach around the globe. It’s continuously investing in talented manpower, tangible and intangible technologies to curate and design better solutions. In short, it’s investing to become more futuristic. Mr Balwa believes the privilege to raise Sealmatic’s bar to its full potential and seeing its people enjoy the fruits is their biggest milestone. His motto is – “Once A SealMan Always A SealMan”.

Tourism

RIDE INTO THESE 7 NATIONAL PARKS FOR AN

AMAZING JUNGLE SAFARI Walking into a zoo while sitting on our father’s shoulder and asking them about the who’s who of animals during childhood was always the biggest fantasy of every child. But, unlike a zoo, a wildlife sanctuary doesn’t capture animals, so here Jungle Safaris are the way to watch your favourite animals drooling around the forest, from a threatened tiger to a furious rhino, we want to witness everything. So, we’ll tell you seven places in the country where you can catch the beauty of animals.

• Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand Jim Corbett National Park, situated in Uttarakhand is India’s first and oldest national wildlife sanctuary, and it is acclaimed as a heaven for the adventure seekers and wildlife junkies. While there are rare chances of actually spotting a tiger inside this park, you might see one that is not baited or tracked. Also, it is one of the few parks with wild elephants in northern India. And we must say that a jeep safari is worth a try inside this park.

• Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh Madhya Pradesh is your best bet if you want to do some ‘tiger spotting’. Here, a trip to Kanha National Prak, located at Mandla is a go-go. In this gigantic location, the woods are massive, but thanks to the park’s colossal core area, protected by a wide buffer zone, you can go deep into them. The royal Bengal tiger, leopard, Barasingha and the Indian wild dog have a large population. In a horse-shoe-shaped valley spread over 940 sq km, you can see elephant safaris in this park.

• Sunderbans National Park, West Bengal As the Sunderbans are part of the largest delta in the world, created by the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers, they are densely covered by mangrove forests. It has one of the country’s largest Bengal tiger reserves, as well as an array of birds, reptiles and invertebrate animals, such as the salt-water crocodile!
