Editor’s Note EVERY CHALLENGE CONSISTS OF THE SEEDS OF OPPORTUNITY, ONLY NEED IS TO BE OBSERVANT Since the inception of 2020, Mankind has faced a set of novel challenges. An atrocious pandemic, the Australian bushfire and several other disasters have increasingly tested the might of everyone, over the globe. Among the trove, the COVID-19 outbreak has been the most dreaded, as a viral outbreak of this trajectory is not seen in the last 100 years. The virus created substantial turbulence, therefore inducing Country-wide lockdowns, joblessness and social isolations, etc. severely affecting every nation’s economy. But, even in the midst of chaos, many brands have shown courage, intelligence and the ability to adapt to an innovative framework, which helped them surmount the challenges of the pandemic.

A great leader once said, “Entrepreneurs are the face of change”. In this period of challenges, many entrepreneurs have helped the nation and its people to withstand the pandemic. They’ve utilized their resources towards helping the needy, few others have launched social entrepreneurships to help their desired community.

Digital technology has been a prolific platform amid the outbreak. It has helped business leaders devise an autonomous framework to grow beyond the ongoing challenges. The period has also brought companies to work collaboratively. Taking heed of it, Our magazine has taken the responsibility to advertise and spread the word of robust entrepreneurs throughout a large community.

In this edition of Business Connect India Magazine, we’re featuring some of the leaders of differing verticals, whose meticulous approaches are helping others to sustain in the market. The Cover Page will feature the story of Free Balance Inc. - A revered Public Financial Management (PFM) specialist, headquartered In Canada.

Recalling the last few months, the situation around the world is showing a positive picture. With Unlock operations, the economy of nations has slowly started to recover. Companies have restarted their operations under Government guidelines, of course, opening various channels of growth. In my personal experience, the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown made me comprehend the difference between needs and necessities.

The lockdown made me realize the need for communication with family and also the way I can utilize my time productively. On the same notion, I would proudly say that our magazine has worked meticulously to help our readers stay diligent in this crisis. Like our previous editions, we’ve structured our business journal, with suitable entrepreneurial stories and in-house articles to keep you updated about the world.

The year has laid down overwhelming challenges for us, but we’ve still created pathways to endure and overcome the same. I certainly hope our magazine has been a source of inspiration and we’ll keep innovating for your betterment. Thank You!

INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME- FREEBALANCE

What could be the inspiration behind the name of this unique business venture- FreeBalance? FreeBalance was founded in 1984 in Ottawa, Canada as Linktek provided Government of Canada departments and agencies with a set of financial management and budgeting solutions. Customers were able to quickly see the amount available for spending, using commitment accounting functions, in real-time. The calculation of budget less commitments and actuals is known as the ‘free balance’. Linktek becomes so well known for “free balance” in real-time that it changes its name to “FreeBalance”.

Besides this, it ensures sustainable growth through aligning policy, planning, execution and performance to environmentally- sustainable citizen growth goals and physical infrastructure priorities.

It can win international competitive contracts versus Tier 1 ERP companies owing to far lower implementation costs because of a product configuration approach.

FreeBalance extends the product suite to support the public investment management cycle that includes budget preparation, fiscal information, procurement and investment results transparency.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition September 2020 INDIA

FREEBALANCE METHODOLOGY FreeBalance uses an ISO-9001:2015 certified development methodology called i3+qM™.

The unique characteristic of this agile methodology is that it covers software implementation, software customization for customers, and software product development.

This is not a generic project management technique. Its government specific, built on over 30 years of experience in PFM and government transparency.

The characteristics of the methodology are: • Integr ated through a single methodology to support development and services implementation. This is integrated with customer requirements through the customer-centric processes. This provides transparency between the customer staff, the implementers, and the development team.

• Iterative to be responsive to customer and implementation changes using phases. The methodology leverages the best of proven “lean” software development and services

methodologies with workshops, short iterations, user stories, milestones and the ability to show progress. These techniques are extended beyond the development organization to implementation services leveraging productivity gains and ability to react to customer requirements.

• Implementation focused with good practice templates and proven program management processes. This methodology is focused on the success of the customer implementation, rather than a software release that achieves internal or arbitrary goals. Implementation and product development are managed via a Program Management Office.

• Quality approach ensures that the software is released and supported meeting Commercial Offthe-Shelf (COTS) good practices with unit, system, stress and regression testing. Quality is integrated with implementation where FreeBalance tests based on customer environments.

THE FREEBALANCE DIFFERENCE

The key differentiator for FreeBalance is its expertise in the government market.

Software manufacturers, like FreeBalance, are rarely involved in government implementations. FreeBalance is involved as prime contractor or joint venture partner in all implementations.

Traditional enterprise software implementation teams for government projects consist of experts with the software package that was sold, but with limited experience in government. These teams tend to include government project experts who often have limited experience with the package that was sold, or with governments in similar circumstances.

Government projects often run into problems when consultants do not fully understand the government context, or when there are incentives for systems integration firms to drive revenue through additional services charges. Some consultants decide to limit capacity building because it reduces their long-term revenue opportunities.

The FreeBalance approach differs: • Involved on the project team for all implementations to ensure that costs are minimized, so that

14

governments can afford to purchase more GRP functionality to support future governance reform • Uses expert PFM staff who understand our products and have implemented in many countries with similar circumstances • Expert staff enables using fewer staff members than traditional enterprise software projects, which also improves coordination • Expert staff understands good practices to provide advice on procedures and system setup • Start local offices in countries where there is an implementation, and hire local staff at local rates • Train local staff, and set up local support • Focus on building the capacity of local FreeBalance staff and public servants in customer countries • Share governance advances with customers at the annual FreeBalance International Steering Committee (FISC) event and the bi-annual FreeBalance Ministers’ Roundtable (FMRT)

LESSON FROM Kylie Jenner’s Success Story

Kylie Jenner has authoritatively become the most youthful individual to arrive at a very rich person status, there’s been no deficiency of individuals “getting down on her” about web-based life for her not exactly humble beginnings.

SS E C SUCor y St

We should make one thing clear as it so happens. That sort of conduct is terrible.

At whatever point anybody makes any small amount of progress, there will consistently be twelve others disclosing to them that they don’t merit it.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition September 2020 INDIA

16

WE SHOULD DO SOME MATH Kylie was worth roughly $5 million of every 2015 when she turned 18. In almost a long time from that point forward, her total assets have soared to $1 billion, making her the most youthful extremely rich person on the planet.

That is a 19,900% percent expansion.

That would resemble having $10k today and transforming it into $2 million by 2023.

All right, so your next analysis is most likely that that Kylie originated from a rich family, that she had focal points that all of us could just dream about. On the off chance that that is the situation, for what reason isn’t each Kardashian/ Jenner worth $1 billion?

The following top worker in the family is Kim, who is worth around $350 million, the path not exactly 50% of what Kylie’s worth in spite of being the impetus for Kardashian distinction.

Kendall, the kin nearest the Kylie in age who teamed up with her on many brand bargains, is just worth $30 million. The most youthful individual from the family makes more than every one of her sisters consolidated.

How Kylie become a very rich person? It was by a progression of savvy business choices that utilized developing patterns and advances to make her realm into what it is today.

HOW KYLIE MADE HER MONEY The Kardashian faction made their presentation in 2007 with Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Aficionados of the show were in a split second enchanted by the family’s sumptuous way of life, delicious dramatization, and sweet family minutes. Kylie was 9 years of age when the show debuted, and in spite of the fact that she didn’t show up regularly in the show’s initial years, she fired taking up increasingly more of the spotlight as she became more established. By 2014, she was making a detailed $500,000 per scene.

That is a great deal of cash, yet it’s not even close to $1 billion. That is the thing that her faultfinders neglect to recognize. Kylie didn’t simply show up on her family’s network program, working up dramatization swinging on

stripper shafts or absently looking on her telephone. She’s been hustling since she was an adolescent.

At age 11, Kylie made 100,000 on an underwriting bargain for Kardashianthemed nail shines. From that point forward, she’s displayed and embraced endless brands like Puma and Topshop.

She additionally worked together with top apparel brands to make their own style and magnificence assortment called “Kendall + Kylie.”

Also, perhaps that is the reason individuals are so threatened by Kylie’s prosperity. This is on the grounds that they understand that their own reasons are all B.S. You needn’t bother with a director or a PR individual to assist you with getting your foot in the entryway.

It’s everything on you. In the event that you come up short, this is a direct result of something you did, not on the grounds that you didn’t have the chance.

Kylie’s endeavored to construct an after and a brand that most computerized advertisers can just dream about. She has direct access to more than 128 million individuals’ Instagram takes care of, and endless individuals set out to duplicate her tasteful decisions — from her body-cognizant design style to her out of control hair hues to even her broadly plumped lips. Her life is her image.

Does having a renowned family help?

Correct. Is it essential for progress? Not under any condition. Your life is what you think about it. Presently, like never before, there is an open door for any individual who needs it to get their cut of the pie.

That is the eventual fate of expert life.

Individual marking through online life is everything.

Thus, in case you’re one of those console warriors whimpering about Kylie’s “benefit” and never helping to promote your own prosperity, it’s an ideal opportunity to get genuine about what’s truly keeping you down.

In her meeting with Forbes, Kylie recognized the enormous job that online life has had in her prosperity.

Social media life is a level playing field. Dislike the film or music industry where you have to have associations or sit tight for another person to give you a possibility. There’s no guardian revealing to you that you can’t pursue your opportunity at fame. Social media life has given every one of us a once in a blue moon opportunity to develop our own brands and show them to the world.

BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF

ADVANCE FERTILITY & GYNAE CENTRE A DISTINGUISHED NAME FOR REVOLUTIONARY IVF SOLUTIONS

Indranil Roy | Business Connect

I

nfertility is one of the popular and melancholic medical concerns in India, especially for a woman. However, to surmount this hindrance, technology has conceived In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or ‘test-tube baby‘. The process has provided hope to many disconsolate couples to have their own children and enjoy parenthood.

However, In-Vitro Fertilization is sometimes considered a very exorbitant process and some couples tend to avoid it. This is where Advance Fertility & Gynae Centre (AFGC) comes to the picture. With 9 years of successful journey and its Medical Director, Dr Kaberi Banerjee having more than 20 years of experience in the field of fertility, the company is leading the Indian market with its cost-effective, cutting-edge services.

A CELEBRATED FOUNDATION AFGC, is a proficient IVF Centre providing a trove of IVF services, with best results. Headquartered in Delhi NCR, the centre stands as an outstanding assisted reproduction centre, for every couple willing to adopt a child through comprehensive technologies. The centre is structured with, all the contemporary inventions of the century, making them a preferable choice for centric solutions.

AFGC was founded in 2011, by Dr Kaberi Banerjee, Founder/Director. Dr Bannerjee is an Internationally acclaimed Infertility Expert, having two decades of experience. Along with her, the centre is accommodated with, seasoned professionals of the domain, whose professional qualification and experience offer guarantee and success at an affordable price.

A STATE-OF-THE-ART CENTRE AFGC has built an advanced embryology laboratory, capable to provide best results even in complicated cases. The lab is separated into two parts – the first part is where the tests are conducted. Some of the prominent procedures undertaken in the lab are In-Vitro Fertilization, Intracytoplas-

Dr. KABERI BANERJEE | Medical Director mic Sperm Injection, Blastocyst Culture, Assisted Hatching and Pre-implantation Screening and Diagnosis.

Second, is the cryopreservation chamber. Here vitrification of sperms, oocytes as well as embryos is done for future use, if necessary. Cryopreservation helps patients to conceive another child with good results, through frozen embryo transfer. In addition to the lab, the centre has segregated surgical operating theatre, IVF operating room, where laparoscopic/hysteroscopic procedures are conducted to enhance fertility. The post-operative area is maintained by trained staff nurses and reproductive medicine consultants at all times. Apart from the OTs, they have consultation chambers, where patients can 20

discuss their issues, with consultants and injection room, where patients receive their scheduled injections.

FUNCTIONAL AMID THE PANDEMIC In the wake of COVID-19 outbreak, AFGC has been communicating, with their patients through teleconsultations. Since physical interaction, can be harmful to both the doctor and patient, the centre is venturing on telemedicine solutions to help and advise patients with medicines, treatments, etc. However, they have to physically attend to NRI patients, aged patients with poor egg reserves and indispensable cases, for which they are maintaining strict safety measures like constructing Triage areas, Checking Aarogya Setu App, Thermal checking, Social distancing, Very minimal waiting time, COVID test for wife and husband for IVF/IUI cases and COVID test, for the wife for endoscopic procedures.

Nurses are explaining and teaching the patients to take injections themselves, through a telemedicine platform.

Laboratory staffs and doctors are being called on a shift basis. Also, the administration team that handles patient appointments and smooth functioning of the OPD collaboratively, with the financial team had to resort to telephonic consultations, to ensure hassle-free services. To keep their employees motivated, salaries were provided on time as per their duties and schedules. To ensure safety, staff members in the centre are suited, with PPE kits- N95 mask, gloves and face shield.

A CULTURED WORKFORCE AFGC has garnered a distinguished set of professionals, who play a prominent role in keeping the centre preferable. Every employee is customized, with designated duties, which helps to maintain the serenity of the establishment. The nursing team helps in administering the injections, Laboratory staffs’ plays a crucial role in embryo formation and Doctors counselling and follicular monitoring are important for the IVF process.

USPs THAT MAKES THEM FAVOURABLE At AFGC Dr Banerjee believes in explaining treatment options and empowering couples in decision making.

She does not propose advanced tests like IVF/ICSI unless their tests leave them, with no other option. Dr Banerjee asserts, ”we believe in treating the couple as a whole instead of just managing the women and male partner separately and parallely”. Transparency and comprehension; these are the cornerstones of AFGC’s services. This is further backed by the consultants, who uphold a benevolent approach towards their patients.

AN ACCOMPLISHED PERSONAGE Dr Kaberi Bannerjee is an Obstetrician & Gynecologist, with more than 12,000 accomplished cases and stands as a maestro of the arena. Her area of expertise mainly encircles complicated cases of repeated IVF failures, donor, and surrogacy. Dr Banerjee has completed a noteworthy stretch in the medical arena and has been a prized learner from her school days. She was accredited, “scholar badge” 21

Tourism

Imagine getting paid to go or to share your excitement for movement by helping other people with their excursions? The Internet and computerized gadgets make working anyplace you can get online an approach to construct a business around your way of life, including travel.

Get recruited by an organization, generally a distribution, to take photographs, or Sell your photographs sometime later to distributions, through online advanced photography destinations, or by making a product, for example, a banner or tee shirt.

Being a photographer can build your attractiveness as a movement author, too.

So gather up your packs, and head off into the nightfall with these six self-start venture thoughts that either includes you voyaging or helping explorers.

TRAVEL CONSULTANT

Dissimilar to travel planners that book trips, a movement advisor work with individuals on an assortment of movement issues. It could be planning individuals for movement (for example new parents who are voyaging abroad) or organizations requiring data on social issues in selling their items abroad, or universal travel for their workers.

TRAVEL BLOGGER

Blogging on any point is an incredible method to have a self-start venture, however for voyagers, it tends to be especially fun. There are boomers blogging about their undertakings out and about in their RV. Like all web journals, bringing in cash as a movement blogger requires building an after who need to think about your experiences. Adaptation of the blog can be through offshoot programs, supports, promotion takes care of (for example Adsense), or selling promotion space.

Contingent upon the sort of blogging you do and the number of devotees, you can procure free stuff also.

TRAVEL WRITER

Here and there, travel composing and blogging are comparable.

The thing that matters is that in movement composing, you’re offering your articles to another magazine or blog. There are numerous magazines, on the web and off, that won’t just compensation for your piece however may even take care of everything for the outing. Further, a few distributers enlist journalists to write travel guides.

The test of turning into an independent travel author is in finding the work. Like most independent composing occupations, there is a back and forth movement, so you’ll have to conform to one extreme or another way of life.

TRAVEL PLANNER

With assets, for example, Expedia, there’s some idea that the requirement for travel planners is lessening. Be that as it may, numerous explorers despite everything like master help and individual assistance. While you can open for business all alone, there are locally situated travel planner openings that could make it faster for you to begin in the event that you have no involvement with booking travel for other people.

One approach to tempt customers is by offering a specialty administration, for example, Disney excursions, or African Safaris. You can likewise concentrate on a market, for example, family travel, travel with pets, or corporate travel.

TOUR GUIDE

So as to be a local area expert from home, you should live in or approach a spot people need to visit. For instance, I live in focal Virginia, under 10 miles from two Founding Father’s homes and various Revolutionary and Civil War memorable locales.

In any case, your visit administration doesn’t simply need to be about history. Numerous more seasoned towns have phantom visits. Or then again in the event that you have extraordinary outside regions you can have grand climbs or fledgling visits.

In the event that you know the best foodie foundations, you can set up food visits.

TRANSLATOR

On the off chance that you can communicate in an unknown dialect smoothly, you can offer your capacity as an interpreter.

23

Interpretation can be in the composed structure, yet in addition through verbal correspondence.

In movement, numerous business heads need interpreters to assist them with arranging bargains.

Interpreter abilities can be useful as a local area expert, too.

SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER

Turning into an influencer can be more troublesome than different choices; there are individuals via web-based networking media who are getting paid to travel. A portion of these individuals are bloggers, yet many are on Instagram, sharing photographs of their movement undertakings.

By and large, influencers get paid or get complimentary gifts (for example free retreat stays), through sponsorships.

Member advertising is another way an online networking influencer can procure a salary.

At the point when you consider quaint little inns you most likely consider enormous old homes with a few rooms.

Be that as it may, you just need a solitary room with a restroom to offer a spot to remain for explorers. Alongside a perfect spot to rest, voyagers will expect breakfast and perhaps an evening tidbit or tea. It’s a pleasant method to meet individuals, share your nearby, and find out about others around the globe.

DEALING WITH COVID-19 Eupraxia had ‘work from homeready’ products from day zero.

The company continued with business as usual with an extra focus on product development during the nation-wide lockdown.

They always had remote working options available for employees as they have clients who work round the clock and run mission-critical applications.

They helped all on-premise clients to migrate to work from home call centers. In places where there were issues with internet

connectivity, they provided dual-leg calling solutions which got them additional business. Keeping with the demands of the pandemic, no one was at the company working from the office. All were on work from home. Most of their employees were out of town, and those in town were not called to the office. They tied up with partnered IT support firms to give them onsite support in case of physical equipment failures.

Occasionally, Mr. Ganeshraj had to personally visit some of their clients to provide uninterrupted support.

Because of their carefulness and by God’s Grace, no one at Eupraxia tested positive.

Even though it had no effect on their business operations as their products are designed for work from home, it did have a marginal effect on new acquisitions, as a few industries are going through tough times due to Covid. They concentrated on digital marketing and stayed regularly in touch with existing customers. Most of the business they acquired during this time was repeat orders from existing clients or their referrals. Their business is predominantly based on a pay per use model, which enables them to manage the working capital.

Their several friends and partners that are in the IT hardware industry helped them out by supplying the material directly to their client sites, as needed.

As their business operations were continuing more or less normally through work from home, they were

able to fulfill all their contractual obligations. They are continuing their service for the clients and accepting deferred and part payments to enable them to continue their business as usual.

They distributed face masks to the needy, proving their mettle in these tough times.

“Tough times don’t last, tough people do.” For Mr. Ganeshraj, the day starts and ends with video conference calls with all employees. The task for the day / status updates are shared with all in the morning and reviewed in the evening. Every week one employee is made to present 31

their personal and official talents and accolades which have improved the bonding.

Due to the current pandemic, certain verticals of business have closed down. Having a contingency plan in place, Eupraxia is opening up new verticals like video conferencing to sustain the business revenue.

“This year just surviving is a great profit. We will make millions as soon as the sky becomes clear.”

NAVIGATING THE NATION-WIDE LOCKDOWN

HULLADEK RECYCLING Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Hulladek Recycling Private Limited is Eastern India’s initiative to do their bit to make this world a greener place through establishing proper, organized e waste management systems across the country. Established in 2014, Hulladek Recycling has successfully channeled 1 million kgs of electronic and electrical waste so far.

Embedded in the evergreen mantra of Reduce | Reuse | Recycle, Hulladek strives to manage the electronic and electrical waste of the country.

Electronic and electrical waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. According to the recent UN Report, India is the third largest producer of e waste. Approximately 95% of this e waste is treated by the informal sector of the country. The most common practice of chemical leaching and acid bath to extract precious metals, not only results in air, water and soil pollution, but also leads to wastage of resources. The team at Hulladek envisions a greener world, where every member of the consumption chain, be it a producer, the middle man, or the consumer, are conscientious and motivated enough to extract maximum value from the resources they use, before choosing effective, efficient and eco-friendly recycling and disposal practices to discard their used items. They strive to establish error-free, stakeholder-friendly networks, to ensure sustainable collection and channelization of e waste disposal.

Nandan Mall, Founder & CEO of Hulladek Recycling, is a third generation entrepreneur.

At a very young age, he realised the need for a proper channel for waste management.

Therefore, he started his dream project of establishing an e-waste management company to ensure proper collection and channelization of electronic waste to authorised recyclers. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition September 2020 INDIA

Nandan Mall

Founder & CEO

34

Nandan worked at Indumetal Recycling in Bilbao, Spain for about two years, where he trained in e-waste management and recycling processes. He studied processes for extraction of precious metals and salting techniques. Nandan returned to India in 2014 and Hulladek Recycling was conceptualised based on the expertise and knowledge gleaned from his time abroad. Nandan completed his schooling from St. James, Kolkata and completed his B. Com (Hons) from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. He has worked with companies such as Red Bull and NIIT as a Business Development Manager.

Working with and leading groups of people, he sincerely believes, “Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” ~ Andrew Carnegie, business magnate and philanthropist.

IMPACTS OF THE LOCKDOWN

According to Nandan, the company’s biggest dilemma once the country-wide lockdown was announced was logistics. Logistics is an important part of the business module as Hulladek heavily depends on the collection and channelization of electronic waste from producers to recyclers. Hence, a complete lockdown meant that this movement of electronic and electrical waste would be put on hold until further notice. Moreover, they had a number of pan-India pick-ups for a few corporates lined up for the month of March which would have helped them reach their yearly targets. Business operations were brought to a sudden halt once the lockdown was announced. As a result, • Orders were put on hold for an indefinite period of time.

• Payments that were to be received were delayed.

• Unavailability of vehicles for pick-ups.

• Unavailability of labours for pick-ups.

• Delay in the certification from their end They had to suspend their operations in most of the cities during the lockdown. However, to stay connected with their target audience, they focused their efforts on digital platforms such as social media marketing, email marketing and webinars. The basic idea was to stay in touch with the existing and potential customers. They engaged the audience through interactive creatives on their social media handles such as Instagram and Facebook and through regular newsletters to their client base. They also conducted several webinars for students and professionals to create awareness about e-waste and the importance of recycling.

KEEPING UP THE PACE

Once the lockdown was partially lifted, Hulladek introduced a No-Contact Pick-Up Service. They provide door-to-door pick-up services from households and business houses.

Owing to the pandemic, many of the clients and customers were not comfortable with Hulladek executives coming and collecting their e-waste. Therefore, a No-Contact Pick-Up Service was designed to ensure that there is minimum or no contact between the logistics crew and the clients while conducting the pick-up. The crew members were given all the necessary safety equipment such as masks, gloves and helmets.

35

They also launched another service in association with AdmyBin. They started providing sanitization services for residential complexes, factories, warehouses and offices.

The sanitization process uses a hard surface cleaner and disinfectant known as Alstasan II 256. This chemical is a blend of double chain Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, surfactants and stabilizers which on application completely eradicates bacteria, viruses, sporicidal pathogens and manifests sustained anti-viral action over applied surface areas of residential, commercial, industrial and public surroundings. The chemical is completely safe, odourless and has no side effects. The chemical is sprayed in all tangible human touch points to eliminate any contamination present.

The time and cost required for the entire process mainly depends on the area that needs to be covered. Within 1 hour of the completion of the process, people can access the area without any problems. Post the process, the organization or residential complex is also provided a certificate from our end.

With the country under lockdown, the safety of our people become our top priority. We realised that ‘Work from Home’ is the new norm that companies all over the world were resorting to so we pooled in our efforts to keep our employees engaged during these tough times. Maintaining social distancing was a must and therefore we ensured that our employees stay at home irrespective of their job responsibilities.

KEEPING UP WITH THE TEAM

During these unforeseen circumstances, Hulladek wanted to ensure that the employees feel secure about their position in the company. Therefore, they did not have any pay-cuts for the employees regardless of whether they could perform from home or not. Since the majority of their work depends on channelization of e-waste from consumers to recyclers, the logistics crew play a significant role in the company.

During the lockdown the activities of the logistics executives were indefinitely suspended. However, it was imperative for them to retain the team and they considered this as a long-term investment.

At Hulladek, safety is their top most priority. As operations commenced, they decided to take all necessary precautions for the safety of their employees and customers. They installed the following systematic processes: • Temperature check and sanitizers at the entrance.

• Arrangement of transport facilities for the employees.

• Employees were provided with N95 masks.

• Changes in the seating arrangement to maintain a distance of at least 6 ft.

• Sanitization of the entire workspace before the commencement of operations.

• Regular cleaning of all contact surfaces.

They also conducted several inter-departmental activities and surveys to keep the team members engaged during the lockdown. They took this time to understand the pulse of the workforce. Moreover, they celebrated the birthdays of Hulladek employees online at Zoom.

Director, Client Services

As the pandemic escalated worldwide, Insights Opinion predicted the national lockdown and before it happened, were ready with remote working options for their employees. They took immediate action by adapting a cloud-based system so that the staff could work from home without hurdles.

They also took extra measures to ensure data protection and security. Work from home was a viable option and Insights Opinion made the best use of it.

The company, under the leadership of Sharoz Ghauri (Director), is trying to gauge the impact of the resulting dip in the economy and the effect it would have on the attitudes of the people.

The impact on the economy that the lockdown will have will dictate the market behaviour of people all over the world. As a market research venture, it is a challenge and opportunity for Insights Opinion to understand these mindsets.

Not only does the lockdown come with future challenges for the company, it also resulted in sudden changes within. As a market research firm, they had it relatively easier than other businesses as most of the work happens online or via telephonic approach. Therefore, they could expect their employees to cooperate and work remotely while sticking to the self-quarantine guidelines. Fear and panic were the common reactions that most of the employees experienced. However, Insights Opinions did their best to keep them motivated during the tough times and while assuring them that the changes are going to be temporary.

The company paid full salary to the field/ support staff who couldn’t work from home as their nature of work doesn’t allow them to work remotely.

There have been some ups and downs, but market research is an ongoing process, even amidst a pandemic. Through constant communication through conference calls, emails, and text messages, they were in touch with their employees to derive similar output as they used to, prior to the lockdown.

With the lockdown, funding becomes an issue for most newly-launched enterprises. Investors are expected to be more vigilant and cautious while making funding decisions due to it. However, it is important to note that the market manages to revive itself after every economic downfall.

Meanwhile, Insights Opinion is ready to approach the existing investors for additional funding, as needed.

In addition to being prepared for obstacles themselves, the company continued their CSR activities during the crisis. Insights Opinion has always been proactive in supporting the local community. Their focus was to ensure they support the migrants. The company was feeding 100+ migrants everyday during the lockdown.

“

The coronavirus pandemic has brought new sets of challenges to the business; however, these challenges could also be seen as opportunities.

Hence, rather than giving into the panic and fear, it is best to appreciate this silver lining and come up with revised goals and strategies to achieve them.

”

The pandemic and the resulting lockdown has impacted every enterprise in one way or the other.

A number of companies are now struggling to make it through this lockdown, and looking for ways to survive the resulting dip the economy has taken. But Sharoz looks at it as a chance to innovate and grow:

With gradual relaxation in the lockdown guidelines, they were able to bring back some flexibility while keeping the social distancing protocols in practice. Of their workforce, 30% could report to the office, while the rest worked remotely. The welfare of the employees as the topmost priority, Insights Opinion took every necessary measure to ensure the same. While in the office, strict measures for wearing masks, using sanitizers, and ensuring 6-feet distance were implemented for the safety of their employees.

KRISHI BIO SCIENCE PVT LTD Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect

Paving The Way For Organic Farming Parshottambhai K. Ghevariya Founder

ABOUT THE COMPANY With the brand name of “Ameedhara Organic”, Krishi Bio Science Pvt Ltd aims to promote organic farming in Gujarat and all over India. The main purpose of establishing this company was to bring a revolution in organic agriculture and help the struggling farmers of the nation to get maximum organic agriculture production from their farm. Krishi Bio Science specialises in working on the base of organic farming. The company’s main activities include organic Farmer Training, farm certification, Cattle Certification, Organic Trade Certification, Organic Processing Unit Certification, Agro Tourism as well as Organic Farm Produce Lab Sampling, Packing & Marketing. They visit farm to farm across India for their projects and meet farmers to discuss their farming probabilities. They then attempt to solve the issues the farmers face through meetings, seminars and group discussions. KBS tries to educate farmers on how to cultivate farms and also suggests them to do farming in an organic way. They ensure that their visit at the farms proves to be a boon for farmers. They try to contact the farmers who are unaware of organic farming, and educate them about it and its demands.

Since they themselves belong to rural and poor farmer families, the members at Krishi Bio Science believe they can do something for the rural area farmers who are unable to get basic facilities required for farming. It is with the support and cooperation of a dedicated managerial team that KBS is succeeding in its altruistic mission:

The most important concept to understand when dealing with externally publishing farming services is exactly what is it responsible for handling as well as what it is NOT willing to do. Throughout the documentation, a product will be referred to often and it still might seem like the concept has been glanced over or not clearly understood. The company has to involve its peers in every aspect of the company to ensure that there is no confusion between KBS or the farmers or any of the associated members. KBS therefore involves farmers who are connected to the business in laying out mission statements.

Farmer responses were compiled and common response themes are listed as follows: •

Economic success included achieving financial “breakeven,” not having to work off-farm and receiving earnings comparable to alternative employment opportunities.

•

Farming has enhanced family relationships and brought families together.

•

Farming resulted in an increase of community involvement for some farmers, but not others.

•

Farming as a lifestyle becomes the main focus and requires full commitment, often at the cost of recreation and other positive activities.

•

Most farmers have not stuck with their original plans and have benefited from being flexible. Some have never had a business plan.

GROUND REALITY OF FARMERS Mr. Parshottambhai K. Ghevariya, the founder of Krishi Bio Science, believes that it is not just the money that motivates the farmers to work with them. His idea has become more than just a business over the years.

Extension educators from the Upper Junagadh conducted a project to explore what makes the beginning of farming successful. The project consisted of a series of eight interviews with farmers of different types and sizes of lands across the region.

Participants had from one to fifteen years of farming experience. Two Upper Junagadh organizations that purchased local farm products and sold them retail to the public were also interviewed. Funding for travel was provided by the Junagadh SARE Professional Development Program. The project was designed and conducted following the guidelines of the State Agriculture Universities Gujarat. Goals of the project were to gain better understanding of how farming has impacted newer operators in the areas of economics, family relationships, community involvement and general lifestyle. After gathering input from the farmers and organizations, responses were summarized and common themes were identified.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COMPANY KBS offers several products that qualify for organic certification. Many different types of products are eligible for organic certification, although some products do have more stringent certifying criteria than others. That said, individuals looking to break into the organic industry have plenty of product choices to choose from. Even better, most product sectors of the organic industry continue to grow.

Consumers really do want organic products.

Food and Beverages: Almost all foods and beverages, with few exceptions, can be certified organic.

Additionally, organic certification guidelines for food are well laid out, so it’s easier to deal with organic food and beverage certification than it is to deal with other certifications. That’s good news, especially since organic food sales are growing at an impressive rate.

• • •

Most farmers reported unexpected outcomes, including weather problems, change of enterprises and unexpected equipment needs.

Big challenges include finances, weather and labor.

Food and beverages that can be certified organic include whole fresh produce, grains, pulses, spices and more. Processors and handlers may also manufacture organic food items. Mango, banana, lemon, pomegranates, grapes and several fruits that are of the finest quality are included in it.

Big successes include achieving full-time farmer status, personal satisfaction and farm business growth.

Following these and similar studies, and having seen his grandfather work as a farmer, Mr. Parshottambhai decided to lend a helping hand to the agricultural labours of the country. He states,

Krishi Bio Services attributes its success to everyone who is involved with this enterprise in work, especially employees of the company. It’s simplistic to conclude that money is the prime motivator driving entrepreneurs, the top-performing entrepreneurs are often more passionate about their products or services. More specifically, they have a committed belief that their business idea – whether it’s a problem-solver or a money saver – will bring important benefits to customers.

“Once I have reviewed our progress and identified the key growth areas that Krishi Bio Science wants to target, it’s time to revisit Krishi Bio Science’s business plan and make it a road map to the next stages for their business. It’s sensible to review current performance on a regular basis and identify the most likely strategies for growth.”

STUDIO 69

Event planning & entertainment management company

GROOVING TOWARDS SUCCESS Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect

Company Overview Studio 69 started as a small enterprise in 1998, intended to give music lovers and party goers an unforgettable experience. Little did they anticipate that this love for music would make them the most sought-after entertainment provider some day.

The company started out from the back of a garage in Ludhiana, spearheaded by Bhanu Ahuja. From its very inception, Studio 69 was reputed for its mind-blowing Wedding Mixes and overall great taste in music. It gained a lot of fame in Punjab, and that gradually led to the evolution of the company into a complete event planning and entertainment management initiative that it is today.

BHANU AHUJA Director

Eventually, it was high time for Studio 69 to diversify, after gaining much fame in Punjab. Mr. Ahuja started with visiting exhibitions, conferences and concerts in and around india, Managed meeting the top notch genius of light & sound industry and also the big wigs of the event management firms and planned to take a step ahead and start up his own Production house . With The production house in place the most challenging vertical- Artist Management came into existence, Studio 69 had hosted and sourced out all major national and regional artist be it the singers or actors or sportsmen all across the country. It had become a reliable hub for the people to be advised about and hire the best artists: local, national as well as international.

In 2012-13, the company expanded and became a one-stop shop for weddings as a Wedding Planner.

With the trust of people in them and the hard work of the team, the company has till date managed more than three hundred weddings in Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Manesar, Jaipur, Udaipur, Goa, Kerala,Alibag, Mussoorie, Dubai, Bangkok, Bali & Dubai. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition September 2020 INDIA

56

What started as a fun endeavour resulted in a successful brand bringing some structure to the very unorganized industry of music in parties, events and entertainment. From a one man army, Studio 69 evolved into a team of a hundred and fifty people operating across five verticals: 1: Sound, light, video-led special effects and fabrication. Studio 69 has built up a huge inventory to take care of multiple functions in one single day, be it a social or corporate meet or a concert. From organizing fifty people to a large audience of fifty-thousand: Studio 69 has been there, done that.

2: Rated the best in sound and production, Studio 69 moved on to becoming a complete package of booking artists and taking care of the technicalities and logistics. This led to the emergence of Entertainment Management And Promotional Consultants, a one-stop shop for all kinds of Celebrity Management.

3: From Studio 69, the company graduated to Entertainment Management and Promotional Consultants, and then to Plan My Shaadi Pvt Ltd. a subsidy of The Big Fat Punjabi weddings This vertical was started to cater to a growing demand for the professional management of local, national international weddings and specializes in planning , curating and executing Bespoke Destination weddings 4: Professional Audio Visual Solutions Pvt Ltd started after spending close to two decades in the sound and light industry. It led to major installionations of night clubs and home theatres in and around Punjab.

5: CLUB 69 was launched as Studio 69’s very own night club and banquet by the name of 69ml. Started on 1st Dec, 2019, Club 69 is the largest open-air nightclub spread in 8000 sq ft with state-of-the-art sound and lighting design.

The Journey So Far Hailing from a small town in Ludhiana, Mr Ahuja completed his MBA from Newport University California in Mumbai. It was his summer internship project that gave him an insight into the industry he is dominating today.

During the summer training with a leading production house, he started

training to be a DJ. He was a natural at it, and realized that the DJ has the power to make people dance to his tunes, and getting paid to party was like an icing on the cake.

Journey of Studio 69 began in the late 90s when the only ‘culture’ the industrialists were familiar with was ‘agriculture’. DJing was altogether a foreign concept for them. Big weddings have been a trend for ages. The people in Punjab had the potential to spend but weren’t aware of how to spend on the “entertainment”. This is where Mr. Ahuja’s creativity stepped in. Along with a couple of friends, he started playing at the small parties wearing T-shirts with the tagline ‘Party Professionals’, and soon this became the talk of the town. People started calling them for playing at parties and events, not only in Ludhiana but across other places in Punjab.

“This field is about presentation and influencing the masses, and eventually DJ Bhanu, my name, gained fame and people started recognizing me for my music.”

No entrepreneurial journey has ever come without challenges, however.

Mr. Ahuja conquered his fair share of obstacles while launching Studio 69.

In a time where there was no social media to make promotion and advertising easier, the popularity that Studio 69 gained was solely due to word of mouth.

When starting out, Mr Ahuja had a tough time explaining to his parents his newly acquired skills of professional DJ and Event Manager. They were apprehensive of this career decision. Secondly, sourcing music was an issue in a time when compact discs had just been introduced. Music was mainly available on cassettes and turntables, and there was an additional lack of professional equipment.

The lack of knowledge about this industry and its technical issues also made it impossible to rely on local vendors for the equipment. Mr Ahuja ended up going back to Mumbai and picking up the latest equipment (sound and lights) to have an in-house 57

inventory himself.

His hard work, perseverance, and willingness to venture out to new, unexplored domains has made Studio 69 what it is today: a shining star in the horizon of Big Entertainment.

Awards and Achievements Here’s an inexhaustive list of awards Mr Ahuja and Studio 69 have been showered with during their time in the entertainment industry: • Ludhiana Management Association in 2002 for Young Innovative Entrepreneur of the Year, presented by His Excellency, Governor of Punjab • India Today Simply Punjabi featured Bhanu in the Top Five Disc Jockey in North India • Economic Times Business Knights Punjab 2015 by His Excellency Governor of Punjab • Best in Class Disc Jockey and Event Management Organisation in May 2017 by Global Achievers Forum • “The Best Wedding Planning Company in Punjab” in 2019 by H & R A North India • Winner as Best Sound Engineer (Silver), Best Set Designer (Gold), and Best DJ (Silver) in Spotlight Awards • EEMA Gold Membership 2017 (Studio 69 is the lone representative from the state of Punjab) EEMA : Best Sound Engineering Award 2018 EEMA : Best Set Design Radio Mirchi Awards 2018 EEMA : Best Light Design Crossblade Music Festival 2018 EEMA : Best Disc Jockey (Weddings) 2018 • Ravishing Award: Best Event And Wedding Management Company Punjab 2018 • Great Indian Awards: Best Production House North 2019 • Hotel And Restaurant Association Punjab: Best In Event And Wedding Planning Punjab

The latest project for Mr Ahuja is the opening of the first college of Audio Engineering in Punjab. He also plans to take out an IPO for the company. Studio 69 is well on its way to revolutionize the entertainment industry entirely.

Want to know more about this promising group? We had a conversation with Sumit Mahendru (Managing Director) to bring you some exclusive insights on who they are, how they work, and what they believe in. Here’s a quick glimpse.

WHAT IS SAVI GROUP’S COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE INDUSTRY?

As a medical professional, you want best-in-class medical billing services and collection solutions.

HOW WAS SAVI GROUP STARTED?

SAVI was founded by 2 strong, independent business women. Anilam Singh and Veena Mahendru are the founders of the company. They founded the company in 2004 and created SAVI in a very unique way. We were set up both onshore and offshore at the same time at a time when the BPO world wasn’t set up in that manner.

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT WORKING AT SAVI GROUP?

Our outstanding team has been built from within. We have spent countless hours and years on training and building our higher-level staff. Our Head of India, Mr. Santosh Singh started as a data entry person with SAVI in 2005 and has grown exponentially and has spent the time eyeing talent within the team and helping them grow.

We have always had the leader without a title mentality where anyone’s ideas are welcome and valued. This helps us to build a collaborative effort with our teams and helps not only the employee base grow in knowledge, but the management gain advantages that may not have otherwise been noticed in other companies.

WHAT ROLE DOES TECHNOLOGY PLAY IN YOUR MODERN MARKETING?

We believe our company is at the forefront of working with various technologies in the market. We are partnered with various software and tech ventures. In the last few years, SAVI has released its suite of technologies including SAVI Sense (Our Business Intelligence Platform), SAVI PM (SAVI’s Practice Management System), and SAVI Project (SAVI’s Workflow Management System).

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CLIENT BASE

We serve a very diverse client population. We have clients in the lab, hospitalist, mobile health, transitional health, home health, nephrology, cosmetic surgery, cardiac surgery, hand surgery, internal medicine, IDTF, and behavioral spaces.

What is the impact of the COVID-19 to your business?

We take a very large focus on R&D. During the COVID crisis, we were early responders and helped many of our clients navigate the changing landscape. This has been showcased during all of our expert’s series blog posts on our website billingsavi.com. We also research changing trends in each specialty to have our clients be up to date and be able to offer services to patients.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS?

The future of the company in my opinion hinges on business intelligence, analytics, AI. We are taking more of an effort focusing on SAVI Sense as a platform and support system not only for our internal staff but for our clients. We are doing some pretty amazing things in how we are looking at financials from a viewpoint that is different from the norm. We are also working in the space of understanding clinical outcomes and supporting our clients in the creation, understanding of data, and how various datasets can be utilized to support all facets of the business. We are also keeping the focus on being the key thought leaders of the billing industry. The company has been aggressively growing over the past 24 months to give us exposure that was not previously there. Being situated in Southern California, most of our client base was local for many years and we have branched out and been adding clients in so many states. We are now up to nearly 15 states and are continuing to branch out to help healthcare businesses grow. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Special Edition September 2020 INDIA

Apple Launches Residency Programme For Ai, Ml Experts Apple has introduced a residency program in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to see STEM (Science, Technolgy, Engineering, and Mathematics) graduates and industry professionals building new “high-impact” Machine Learning and AI-based products.

The residency program invites experts in various fields to apply their expertise to build a revolutionary machine learning and AI-empowered products and experiences.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are now deeply connected with everything the company does, Apple has launched this one-year residency program for experts in the field. The program is designed to bring those experts from across many backgrounds, and get them to become involved in the company’s key AI/ML projects.

The motive is to invest in the resident’s technical and theoretical machine learning development, which would help advance their professional careers and will gain hands-on experience working on high-impact projects with their learning teams.

The software products like Siri are Apple’s most evident use of AI and ML. However, the technology is increasingly being organized across everything apple does, from handwriting and speech recognition to analyzing images and parsing natural language text.

“As these intelligent experiences solve our users’ problems across disciplines, the need for domain experts to understand machine learning grows. This is why the AI/ML residency program aims to immerse these experts in the ML space”.

The residents will have the opportunity to attend “personalized machine learning and AI courses, learn from an Apple mentor closely involved in their program, collaborate with fellow multi-talented residents, and gain hands-on experience working on high-impact projects with our machine learning teams”, the Cupertino, California-based company informed.

Apple is distant from the only technology company with an AI residency program but has insulated behind rivals like Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Nvidia in contributing one. Facebook has canceled its 2020-21 AI residency program in May, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic while noting the experience wouldn’t be successful in a remote format
