”
P
eople need employment and businesses need employees. The staffing industry bridges the gap between the two. However, it’s not as simple as it sounds. This staffing industry faces a multitude of challenges that need to be addressed appropriately and immediately.
businesses maximize efficiency and boost growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a sudden paradigm shift in the way staffing businesses operate. Setting fresh roadmaps to bounce back, staffing businesses across the globe are moulding their operations to suit the ‘new normal’.
Innovative Zone Magazine, in an exclusive conversation with the Oorwin’s dynamic leaders, shines the light on how this business venture is revolutionizing the staffing and consulting industry with its revolutionary, breakthrough platform. With the well-defined mission to construct a next-generation, techenabled platform, it aspires to deliver enhanced user experience and unparalleled customer satisfaction to its clients.
Many staffing and recruiting businesses are now seeking technological solutions to the challenges they face. As a result, there is a plethora of AI-powered solutions helping staffing businesses flourish in challenging times. In fact, to our great surprise, many enterprises are also planning to expand their reach in multiple nations in the post-lockdown scenario. As a frontline contributor to the economy, the staffing industry was the very first sector to experience the first wave of the pandemic-induced slump. But the pandemic has also presented multiple growth opportunities for enterprises involved in this industry. A robust strategy, tools and technological infrastructure is now more important than ever to meet the demands of the workforce and future businesses. Oorwin Labs, a San Francisco- based SaaS platform, caters to the staffing and consulting companies with AI-powered, integrated platform for sales, recruitment and HR management. Matching the radical changes in the staffing landscape, Oorwin is assisting Enlighten the world with innovation

Under the aegis of its visionary leaders, Venkat Kolli (CEO), Swami Kakarla (COO) and Ravi Daparthi (CTO), the platform is scaling new heights.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY A tech suite, Oorwin is focused on rendering staffing and consulting solutions powered with cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to staffing and consulting enterprises. Offering end-to-end management solutions targeting sales, recruitment and HR management, Oorwin uses an integrated platform to increase efficiency and collaboration between teams and maximize profitability. Their strategic offerings provide bird’s eye- view for the entire business to add value to it and ensure consistent growth.
In this respect, Oorwin’s mission statement elucidates, “Our innovative single window platform provides bird’s-eye view of the entire business. Oorwin gives staffing businesses an edge by employing AI, ML and deep data analytics for value-oriented decision making across sales, recruitment and HR and offering actionable insights to inform and improve business strategy.” INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL 2 | DECEMBER 2020
UNVEILING THE LIGHT BULB MOMENT Acknowledging the dearth of latest tech-based solutions in the staffing industry, the leaders at Oorwin conceived the idea of an integrated, AI-powered platform. With over three decades of experience in the respective industry, the adroit team has strategic approaches to deal with bottlenecks, inefficiencies, labour-intensive and low-value processes that have plagued the industry over the years. Witnessing the technological backwardness and paucity of robust, technical infrastructures, the Venkat Kolli realized the need to formulate a platform that can tackle such challenges and allow the staffing corporations to recognize the immense potential that remains untapped.
“Oorwin means “to overcome” in Afrikaans, and we wanted to use technology to assist staffing and consulting companies to reach their full potential as the driving force of the economy. We worked with some of the sharpest technical experts in AI, ML and cloud computing to develop our state-of-the-art, integrated CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and HRMS (Human Resource Management System) platform.” says Ravi Daparthi, who heads Oorwin’s highly-talented engineering and product teams. NAVIGATING THROUGH THE COVID-19 CRISIS The global pandemic shook the business world to its core, resulting in collapsing of economics and chaotic circumstances. This was a real eye-opener scenario for all the businesses across the globe. But, under the thought leadership of Venkat, Swami, and Ravi, Oorwin sailed through the adversities of this fatal viral outbreak effectively. As soon as they realized the intensity of the situation, they restructured the business model and implemented work from home in a short period. Management ensured continuous communication with the employees and frequently inquired about their physical and mental wellbeing. Sharing the experience of this unprecedented crisis, Venkat states that owing to the unpredictable lockdown scenario, they have realized the significance of communication, interaction and engagement. But the pandemic also made them recognize that the future relies upon the technological advancements only and how Oorwin has the relevance to the measures that are needed in the crisis with such an enormous impact.

“ We also refined our
unique value proposition taking into account the pandemic-sparked changes in the staffing industry and ensured there was clear messaging to our clients and prospects about how Oorwin was ready to deliver maximum value even in uncertain times like these. SWAMI KAKARLA COO, Oorwin Labs
”
This realization allowed the team Oorwin to improve it with some up-gradations and make the targeted audience aware about the significance of such solutions to stay ahead of the curve in case of the similar crisis in terms of the future outlooks. Swami Kakarla, the COO reveals that they re-evaluated all the processes to bring ease to any bottlenecks and converged all the efforts towards the improvement of their product. WHAT IS SO UNIQUE ABOUT OORWIN? At present, the staffing enterprises are utilizing multiple applications to deal with different aspects of their businesses. Be it CRM or VMS for customers, or client and vendor management, or ATS for tracking applications, or HRMS to manage human resources, different needs are being addressed with multiple tools. Most of the service providers in this domain offer a single product to deal with a single aspect, making the business operations complex and time consuming even when they are interdependent to each other. This is where Oorwin ensures an edge over its peers! It offers an AI-powered, integrated window that addresses all the aspects of the business with a combined database. Here, teams can collaborate from multiple geographies under one digital umbrella that can be customized for the desired region. Another key differentiator is the integration of CRM, ATS and HRMS that ease the job for the teams by reducing the time to switch multiple applications or screens. This allows an effortless overview of the business operations with AI-backed insights. Market integrations are something that made Oorwin stand out of the crowd exclusively. Here, job boards, vendor management, Enlighten the world with innovation

social media, invoicing and accounting software are integrated altogether for improved productivity and holistic growth across the globe. Oorwin has also offered plugins for mails and browsers, seamless integrations for voice calls and messages, and an operative mobile app to make remote work effortless and effective. IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATION Exemplifying the procedure of implementing the out of the box ideas to the business operations, there are a few key steps that are taken into consideration. At first, the problem statement is addressed by the team. Then, a myriad of possible solutions to eradicate that problem is put forth. Then, they reach out to drawing board to develop an innovative way to solve that problem based on the suggested solutions. After a thorough analysis, the best solution is picked up and implemented effortlessly. Venkat states that a crucial aspect one must keep in consideration is to learn from one’s experience. He perceives innovation distinctly. To him, innovation comes through the learning that is gained from our experiences. He also emphasizes the need to consider the customer’s feedback for improving the offered solutions. This majorly contributes to stirring innovative instincts among the employees. A GLANCE AT LEADERSHIP STYLES Oorwin’s phenomenal leader Venkat has acknowledged the need for being an avid learner. To him, the most inspiring qualities a leader can infuse his personality with are the zeal INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | VOL 2 | DECEMBER 2020
to learn new things and desire to improve! It is of utmost importance to learn from one’s experiences and utilize those in your favour to emerge out as exemplary individuals. He motivates his workforce to take this ‘mantra’ in consideration to excel in any aspect of life. Ravi believes in putting the problems faced by staffing businesses at the top of his priorities when working on a technological solution. Once the existing problems are identified, the engineering team led by Ravi then starts to develop solutions to these problems. Swami puts the organization’s people at the forefront of his strategic approach. Swami believes an organization can only grow to its full potential if it invests in the growth of its employees. He focuses on building a team that is equally invested in the growth of the organization. AN EXUBERANT WORK CULTURE The work culture of any organisation is a pathway to its roaring success. Many enterprises have witnessed the fruits of a positive and joyous workplace and no one can deny the fact that this aspect a prominent contributor to the growth of a company. Team Oorwin flourishes well in a work ecosystem where they are encouraged to identify their potential and pursue their respective growth prospects. Most of the employees at Oorwin are paid off manifold as they go beyond the call of duty and ensure enormous value to the organisation by being beneficial assets to it. The hard work and dedication are well acknowledged in the work culture as the Management values its workforce and leaves no stone unturned to keep their spirits high. FEATHERS IN THE CAP For its significant offerings, Oorwin has been bestowed with multiple awards and accolades. Earlier this year, this integrated platform was recognized as ‘Category Leader’ 2020 for its ATS by Gartner’s online review site GetApp. This recognition is the proof of diligence and determination of the Team. GetApp’s Category Leaders ranking features top-ranked software products based on ratings from end-users in five key areas: ease of use, value for money, functionality, customer support and likelihood to recommend. The exclusive products with the highest scores are entitled to ‘Category Leaders’ tag.

Moreover, in July 2020, Oorwin was also recognized as the Top ATS software in the well-reckoned Front Runners report by Software Advice, a Gartner company. Software Advice’s Front Runners report analyses hundreds of products to assist numerous enterprises to find products that are highly reliable and adding value to the relevant industry. Oorwin now leads the ATS category on Software Advice with an attractive rating for its outstanding customer support. THE FUTURE OUTLOOK We all may resonate with the fact that technology-based solutions are transforming the way to operate businesses. This scenario has been firmly accepted by almost everyone amidst the reigning chaos of COVID- 19. In this regard, Oorwin foresees bright and blazing future ahead. Oorwin’s frontline leaders revealed that the administration has planned to extend its reach to different geographies other than the US, the UK, Singapore and India, shortly. They have envisioned to emerge out as a global leader in terms of providing cutting-edge, tech-based platforms in the consulting and staffing services sector. Keeping pace with their ambitious goals, Team Oorwin is all set to forge ahead with full enthusiasm to reach their goals in a short period. WISE WORDS FOR ENTREPRENEURS FROM OORWIN’S LEADERS One of the most crucial aspects of being leaders is to first identify the challenge or problem one aspires to solve. Entrepreneurs should then try to come up with an innovative solution. It could be an age-old challenge that has already been taken care of. But the leaders must know that there are many ways to solve any one problem, say Oorwin’s leaders. It is the more elegant solution that wins the game, not the first solution. This also allows you to turn the challenge of competition into an opportunity to innovate.
Lastly, one of the most common mistakes leaders make is to purely focus on building features. Our advice to such aspirants would be to always let user experience, guide their innovation.

Success Story of
BILL GATES A Life Filled with Successes
Bill Gates is the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation and one of the world’s most prominent individuals, who was born in Seattle, Washington, on October 28, 1955. Bill Gates is one of the most inspiring figures in history, he has had a life packed with achievements. Have a look here and you will find everything that you’ve ever wanted to know about Bill Gates’ life and achievements! Bill Gates is an American programmer, entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist, co-founder of Microsoft: the premier software company in the world. With an estimated $90.6 billion in net worth, Gates is the world’s, second-richest man. But how did he shaped this wealth, and how did he tackle the obstacles to get there? BILL GATES’ EARLY LIFE Well, the guy comes from a fairly wealthy background so he doesn’t have a story that rags-to-rich one. Bill Gates had to work hard in order to become what he is today. His father was a prosperous attorney, while his mother was a school teacher who became a member of the First Interstate Bank Board of Directors. Gates was a brilliant student who performed exceptionally well in academics, especially in the subject, Mathematics. At the early age of 13, a passion for computers and programming was developed by Bill Gates. He also got himself enrolled into a private preparatory school, the Lakeside School at the same age. While at school, seeing Gates’ flare in programming, the school administration decided to buy him a computer from the General Electric Company. The school administration allowed him to pursue his interest by excusing him from classes. Bill Gates, on the GEC machine, built his first ever computer program. While at school, Bill Gates along with Paul Allen worked together in a system that belonged to Computer Center Corporation, to find bugs in it. Gates and Allen together with two other students wrote a payroll program for Information Sciences in exchange for computer time and royalties. This led the school to become fully aware of Gates’ talent. In the early age, Gates and Allen continued to build software’s and Bill Gates sold software to optimize traffic for $20,000 in the age of 15. He developed another software, a few years later and earned $30,000 from it. And with this, he started his journey on the way to becoming a successful billionaire. SETTING UP MICROSOFT CORPORATION Bill Gates and Paul Allen, in 1975, co-founded a software company that was named as Micro-Soft. In the initial stage, the company was delivering small software products to different firms as they were not able to hire a sales manager. This process was done by Gates’ mother, Mary Maxwell. Shortly thereafter, the company started to face financial crises that made Gates and Allen realize that Microsoft had dropped to the lowest affordable point. The issue was occurring mainly due to the usage of some pirated software. However, the two owners had the courage not to lose hope and as “Struggling is a Part of the Story”, both of them came up with the launch of MS-BASIC, which helped them in making a profit of $50,000. In 1979, Microsoft was offered to develop a program by one of the American multinational tech company – IBM who launched (about to launch at that moment) the world’s first personal computer. Unfortunately, at that time, Microsoft didn’t have the resources to develop an Operating Software (OS), so it recommended another company to IBM for its OS. Soon after a few months, an OS system named ’86-DOS’ was bought by Microsoft and started to enhance it regularly on a wide scale that resulted in the launch of ‘MS-DOS’. Directly after the launch, Microsoft offered IBM to use MS-DOS for their first-ever personal computer that they were about to launch as the key OS. IBM accepted the proposal immediately and Microsoft was able to see-off Digital Research competition-the company Gates and Allen had suggested IBM for developing their OS.

Success Story A contract between Microsoft and IBM was signed in 1980 and Microsoft became Microsoft Corporation within a year. The first-ever personal computer was launched by IBM with MSDOS along with other Microsoft products like MS-BASIC, MSCOBOL, MS-PASCAL, etc. The company founded by Bill Gates started to pour accomplishments which included the creation of the first mouse for personal computer, and development of the Windows Operating System.
BILL GATES The first Windows OS that got launched was Windows NT, then over the next few years, a series of Windows were followed, including the launch of Window 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, XP, and Vista. Ever since Microsoft has been growing. Microsoft has expanded its product from Window OS, Microsoft Office Suites, Office 365, Xbox, Bing, and Hotmail, it goes on. CURRENTLY Everything began with the first idea, Microsoft is keeping on dominating the software market. Bill Gates has been successful in keeping up with the pace of change, which led Microsoft to remain #1 software company in the world. For a few years now, there has been no involvement of Gates in the day-to-day operations of Microsoft. Most of the time has been dedicated to philanthropy and community projects. He has co-founded many foundations, one of them is The Giving Pledge, which is a foundation that focuses on encouraging wealthy people to contribute their majority of wealth towards Philanthropic Causes. More than 80 per cent of Bill Gates’ wealth is pledged to the charity upon death. PHILANTHROPY • William H. Gates Foundation • Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation • Gates centre for Computer Science • Giving Pledge, and more. Bill Gates is an inspiration to many, there are numerous things to be learnt from his life and success story, which includes being focused on your goals and to persistently pursue them.

CUSTOMIZED TALENT ACQUISITION SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY
T
FOR MID TO LEADERSHIP HIRING CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH AND LEADERSHIP POSITION
he corporate world is brimming with talent and potential. Companies strive to acquire leaders who are capable of nurturing young talents, so that they can convert their skill into capital. There is a need to find employees and executives that would be a good fit, and that is where HumaQuest comes in. The company helps corporations hire suitable leading executives, provides HR Consulting & Manpower services, and provides outcome-oriented solutions through thorough and dedicated research. HumaQuest Consulting India Pvt Ltd, an Executive Search Firm and Mid to Leadership Hiring Company, was founded in 2013 by Mr. Sujoy Ghosh, Founder & Managing Director. Here’s a glimpse into the company’s workings in Mr. Sujoy’s words.
Q1. What is HumaQuest about?
HumaQuest Consulting India Pvt Ltd is an Executive Search firm & Mid to Leadership Hiring company - focused mainly in Pharmaceuticals, Diagnostics, Life Sciences & Healthcare Industry, pan India.
Q2. How did the company come into existence?
Way back in 2008, when I was working in an MNC Management consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, after spending around twelve years in Pharma & Medical Device industries like Eli Lilly, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, the thought of entrepreneurship first came to my mind. I wanted to do something for mankind in any form and that’s what the name stands for: HumaQuest - “Quest for Humanity”.
SUJOY GHOSH | Founder & Managing Director After the name and logo were finalized, I started funneling down many options, and finally crystalized that service business like Management Consulting or HR Consulting and Executive Search and Hiring & Recruitment for Mid to Senior level would be a good idea. By then ,I had been exposed to many corporate leaders across India and abroad in different functions, by virtue of my work. I initially bought a small office space like a commercial shoppe and business area Enlighten the world with innovation
where we could have all licenses and start working with a few people. Then, we started developing licenses, fulfilled all other requirements, interiors and some basic work and market research before we officially inaugurated it. The incorporation of HumaQuest in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs took place in August 2013, and today, within seven years of our operation, we have come out of that small space and bought our own state-of-the-art registered and cor20
porate office in the Silicon Valley of Kolkata, Salt Lake Area, which is a premium and prominent corporate business hub in the city.
Q3. How do you align your company with your vision and mission?
We align our internal and external stakeholders from the very first day of our engagement with them by practicing and pitching our value system which includes:

Respect for people Customer first
Integrity with ethical business practices Transparency Team Culture Strive for excellence Value optimization - do more with less
In addition to that, we strictly follow the “SMART Goal” in everything that we do including every communication: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound.
Q4. What was the prime motivation behind this entrepreneurial venture?
After spending around two decades in different industries and holding different leadership positions, I intended to do something on my own, which would help the betterment of people and also contribute to some social responsibility, by first establishing the company and then supporting some endeavor towards the cause of humanity. Of course, the zeal and will to drive a new entity of your own is always exciting and challenging, which was another main motivator. Plus, the freedom with responsibility and accountability, and support to family by being together which was missing during corporate life due to transfer and relocation across different metros, was an important factor.
Q5. What is so unique about HumaQuest? How does it stand out in the industry?
HumaQuest’s client-centric approach aids companies achieve exponential growth in top line and bottom-line revenues, and significantly reduces their Capital and Operating Expenditure. In addition to that, HumaQuest ensures:

TOURISM
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS A spectacular choice in a traveller’s wish list
Imagine standing somewhere north of the Arctic Circle on a frozen lake. The icy cold breeze is blowing your hair back, as you rub your hands together to build up some heat. You can see a vast distance in front of you, but all you can hear is that gentle wind playing with pine trees in the forest behind you. You stare at the miles of snow-covered ice stretching away into the distance until it discovered the dark haphazard barrier that is more forest on the opposite. The lines raising your eyes to the sky you focus on the ink-black sky dotted with billions of stars more than you could ever imagine even in your dreams. Suddenly, you see a green smudge of light begin to materialize in the northern sky and slowly manifests itself into waving, shimmering, in green lights changing into purplish-red passing through the night sky. What have you just seen the ‘Northern Lights’ nature’s beautiful light show this natural light displaying in the sky is called an ‘Aurora’ though they can occur anywhere Aurora’s can be seen most often near the North pole, we called it “Aurora Borealis” or “Northern Lights” and near the south pole we called it “Aurora Australis”. It’s not a surprise to find out the “Aurora Borealis” is the root of many myths and legend of indigenous people living in countries situated within the auroral oval from Iceland to as far apart as Greece and China and the legends of the aurora borealis varied just as much the Northern Lights have inspired the old folk with dramatic tales in Norse Mythology.
1. ICELAND
The winter is the Northern Lights’ season in Iceland, as the sky at night is darker and easier to see. Whilst they can be as early as August, the best time to see the Northern lights in Iceland is from October to March. Some of the best sites for viewing are in western Iceland, including Akranes, Borgarnes, and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

2. SWEDEN The Lapland province of Sweden, with its arctic plains, mountains, and glaciers make it a prime destination for viewing the northern lights. With September to March being the optional months to view the Northern lights all over Swedish Lapland. Aurora Sky Station, located in ‘Abisko’ (Swedish Lapland), is considered one of the best places on earth to experience the Northern Lights.
3. FINLAND Finnish Lapland is the sparsely populated northernmost region of the country, bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia, and the Baltic sea. From this vast wilderness, home to the indigenous people, the northern lights are visible for over 200 days per year. Whilst some camp out in Lapland to see the dancing lights, other options include luxury ‘Igloos’ made with thermal glass. Regardless of where you choose to stay, Finland puts on a beautiful nighttime display from September to March.
4. NORWAY Norway is home of the northern lights. Northern Norway, like Alta, Tromso, Harstad, and the Lofoten Islands. Alta is home of the ‘World’s First Northern Lights’ observatory, thus earning the name tag, “The Town of the Northern Lights”. Your best chance to see the celestial show on dim, clear nights in between September and late March from 6 pm to 1 pm.

FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK- WORDS OF WISDOM FOR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS
There will be times when you come across odds. Stay strong and you will be able to perceive these challenges with a better outlook as you have acquired knowledge, skill, and confidence which will help you to overcome these hindrances to success because you’ve done it before. Understand this through an analogy. Assume that you are climbing a mountain and you only keep your eyes on tough terrains and difficult navigation focusing only on the problems. As you keep ascending, your climb will become exhausting and devoid of experiences. But if you consider every step a foot forward towards the summit of achievement, you will be able to enjoy the scenic beauty around, the flowers and the view, and your climb will be very different. Businesses are exactly the same; it’s not only about the destination –learn to live the journey. And in doing all these always aim high. Make people believe in your idea and try to reach that with the people who believe in it.
