Lakhotiya

A perceptive leader who drives business prospects with financial innovation Kajal Dobhal | Innovative Zone

A

majority of eminent financial institutions across the world roll out the standard ‘off the shelf products’ as per their own policies and meet their respective business objectives. But parallel to this happening, there is a genuine need for set-ups that can address the customer pain points and provide customized financial solutions as per the business needs. On that note, Prachay Group has been identified as one of the most promising players and the core reason behind its intuitive approach is the thought leadership of its key persons.

Girish Lakhotiya (Founder and CEO) is the leading figure who is driving the business operations of Prachay Group at the forefront. Prachay Group consists of a boutique investment bank, a non-banking finance company (NBFC) and an alternative investment fund (AIF). To get some deeper insights into the group’s profile and its service implementations to revamp the current scenario across the financial service industry, serving the needs of the world, we sat down with Girish to converse thoroughly about these aspects. He is the founder of the company and stated that what started as a thoughtful mission years ago has transformed into an inspiring journey for many across the fraternity. In this thought-provoking conversation with the seasoned professional, entrepreneur and leader, we couldn’t help but come across some ‘valuable nuggets of wisdom’ and ‘food for thought’ that our global readership may find of great use. Take a deep dive into this elegant ‘read’ to know what we are referring to in the above premise!

THE CORE MOTIVATION

Addressing his journey as a leader, he quotes, “Prachay Group’s growth has helped me evolve as a leader today. For me, a persuasive leader establishes a mission and then aligns all the team members with it for the comprehensive growth of his adamant vision. My forte was the in-depth understanding of the financial industry as well as the business landscape that propelled me to commence this establishment, acknowledging the dearth of insufficient financial resources for businesses. I extensively studied western financial markets in terms of their incessant progress from 1900 to 2000. This made me compare the foreign landscape with the Indian market and observe the gap where we are lagging. Financial innovation has been the need of the market where age-old techniques are to be eradicated for a better outcome.” He further adds that the Indian financial industry has to undergo a huge transformative wave to alter the pre-existing circumstances.

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

Practically, every business is into finance as one leg of any transaction is money, such is the pervasiveness of finance. And when it comes to financial management, every business needs a credible helping hand. India as a country does not lack natural or human resources. Today, entrepreneurs can induce a lot of innovation, development and prosperity across the business landscape if they are provided appropriate financial solutions and guidance. And pioneering this alteration in favour of the business landscape has been the motive force to lay the foundation stone for Prachay Group.

MOST LENDERS WITH A SOLUTION-FIRST APPROACH

This is the reason why its clients consider it as an ideal growth partner. Backed by an adept workforce thriving on innovation, Prachay Group has been carving a niche for itself in the financial services space with its prompt and efficient business funding solutions.

Owning a reputation of a preeminent business financing company based out of Pune, Prachay Group has become a torchbearer in the space of non-conventional funding. The service portfolio by the company has been to uphold the business goals and capital growth of the client’s business. The primary motive is to establish a sense of financial security amid cash catastrophes in favor of the business ventures with a concept of secured lending. When it comes to lending, team Prachay has woven a different lending process that could deliver a long-term positive impact and business value to its vast clientele. Apart from this, developing solutions as per the client’s requirements has been possible due to the incessant zeal and dedication of the teammates who are seasoned professionals with expertise in their respective domains.

“The smart, expressive and experienced individuals at Prachay strive to provide exemplary services to their clients for seamless business flow. We take immense pride in assembling such a team of professionals who align with our motto of driving financial innovation accompanied with excellence,” explained Girish Lakhotiya regarding the financial innovations introduced by them across the industry.

The word ‘Prachay’ means growth originating from the ancient Sanskrit language, which represents the core of its business objectives that describes its specializations in the metaphorical sense. The leadership team at the organization is determined to develop swift and efficient offerings that allow their respective clients to resolve their financial woes enabling them to witness growth in leaps and bounds.

FINANCIAL INNOVATIONS

The key players scaling across the space would never refer to this industry as a service space; instead, call it a product industry. What Prachay has observed is the fact that all the products dominating the market are not in line with the current needs of the businesses with a low level of flexibility. “Business landscape has undergone a dramatic change in the past few decades and the finance industry has not been able to keep pace with it, due to lack of innovative strategies. Innovation is all about problem solving. If you have a mindset of a problem

Driven by unwavering professionalism, futuristic vision and confidentiality-oriented attention, Prachay Group is wellacclaimed for its key differentiators and unequalled processes.

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

solver you find solutions to the most complicated problems and situations in life. With the business dynamics wavering regularly, most lenders are unable to be in harmony with this change. Thus, the need of the hour is constant financial innovation where the services could address the fundamental demands of the local businesses for holistic growth of the economy. NBFCs should be more focused on creating a line of industry-specific, business-focussed, and requirement-specific offerings as an up-gradation to the standardized products ruling out the mundane financial offerings,” emphasized Girish, “Prachay Group has

been able to make a difference in this direction due to its constant involvement in the ground reality. Primarily, we started as an advisory business helping the clients reach out to financial institutions. In this process, we recognized the inefficiencies of the banks to comprehend the nuances of the businesses they are catering to.

Hence, we concluded to transform our business model to design tailored financial solutions that could meet the actual needs of the SMEs. And today, our product development cycle revolves around formulating customized solutions roadmapped to developing a clearer perception into the business community.”

FINDING THE BEST PLAYERS IN ANY INDUSTRY

Prachay Group has taken a plunge to deliver some out-ofthe-box solutions to the real estate industry that belongs to the ‘unfavourite’ category of most financial institutions.

Though the real estate industry by itself has consistently grown and delivered over the years, the most lenders have had unpleasant experiences in the past due to their limited understanding of the nuances and peculiarities of the industry. The real estate industry, after the implementation of RERA, is one of the most transparently ‘reporting’ industries where every information from raw material (land), to the process (approvals, contractors, etc) to products (sales and collection) are reported periodically.

Even the listed companies in India do not share such detailed information in the public domain.

But, after the leadership team at Prachay Group decided to join hands with some of the real-estate players, it comprehended the significance of their developed products.

Girish reveals, “What we realized is the fact that the most lenders here lack understanding and empathy of the intricacies of this business. Doing business is not easy. Things don’t go as planned always.”

INNOVATING THE GRAND OLD INDUSTRY- ONE PRODUCT AT A TIME As per the extant guidelines of the banks, there is a complete restriction of any cash flow to the real-estate developers until any project isn’t fully approved. But, the approval process itself requires a considerable sum of money. There was a huge vacuum in the space where most lenders have been quite sceptical about the favourable outcomes. So, Prachay came up with an innovative ‘approval- funding solution’ that supported developers with funds to process their proposals as well as approvals in the most agile manner possible.”

Another such innovative product that we recently introduced in the market is the ‘Cheque-Discounting facility’. It is a simple but effective offering made by Prachay Group that was rolled out to assist real-estate developers avail of the maximum value in the process of heavy transactions. Girish considers that though these innovative services are small, there are outstandingly productive when implemented for the needs of the end businesses.

ADDRESSING R&D AND TECH-INCLUSION

Today, we witness a paradigm shift in the way of performing businesses and those who are not agile enough to adapt to these alterations will become obsolete. Research for any organization is an investment in the future. If you want to stay relevant and competitive, the organizations have to commit to R&D, elucidates Girish. To spark innovation and get enlightened with the trends in line with any organization’s core activities, R&D has to be under the spotlight. Research can be as simple as understanding the actual customers’ problems or requirements and the possible solutions to what disruptions are expected to come in future.

Prachay Group believes in performing future driven research that motivates it to bring something new to the table. “Research is a critical factor behind the resounding success of any venture.

Sometimes, I am heavily disappointed in the fact that a majority of business organizations across the Indian landscape overlook the significance of R&D. It is not being valued to the extent to which it should be valued. Though, Indian business leaders have that bent of mind to innovate and thrive, lack of encouragement and rule bounded or restricted scenarios have inflicted innovationrefraining practices in our workplaces. Or maybe because survival is a bigger challenge for most businesses in India. Western companies are staying ahead of the curve as they spend over 25% 13

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

14

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

of their turnover on R&D processes. Observing this above-mentioned notion, businesses could get an idea of how crucial research is for their overall success.

Apart from R&D, technology has become an important part of our lives and businesses. There is practically no aspect of our lives or businesses that has not been impacted by technology. So, any business must adapt to the latest technology to remain competitive and relevant in their line of business. Technology is the catalyst that allows businesses to operate at a bigger scale and provide solutions to a larger audience. Girish comments that the real focus of the businesses should be on providing real-time solutions and not on the tech-laced service portfolios. “Technology has to be an aspect assisting you in your solutions – an enabler, not the

solution itself,” concluded him.

VALUES-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP

Girish Lakhotiya is a leader with a difference where certain factors have made him a role model to several aspiring entrepreneurs or leaders across the business fraternity. His unique perspectives on leadership have allowed him to scale new highs and forge ahead towards newer avenues to explore better prospects for the industry. “I believe a leader is the one who leads from the front. For me, leading with purpose is the foremost priority where one’s mission, vision and passion inclines with one’s fervour to make the world a better place than what we came in. I avidly believe that if you uphold some values and ethics, people effortlessly connect to you and your vision as a leader. When people look up to you as an inspiration then you don’t have to be a leader who directs them towards any goal. Instead, people just start aligning to your inclusive vision, contributing to your success. What drives a way forward for the entire organization is to be true to yourself, believe in your vision, and prioritize customer satisfaction. Effective leadership has no magical formula but a persistent effort to drive people towards a radiant future,” enunciated the dynamo.

Furthermore, he also conveyed that facilitating a better work environment for the employees is the foremost duty of the CEO.

“We spend the majority of our waking hours in our workplaces. The impact that any organization is creating in the lives of its employees will always set it apart from the rest and Prachay Group has made sheer justice to this with its fascinating work culture,” claims the leader.

FUTURE OUTLOOKS

For the upcoming years, we have envisioned establishing an entire set of lending institutions that may consider business as a service rather than a product. There are a few major changes that the leader wishes to stimulate across the Indian market. The first and foremost is to inspire and assist the businesses to shift from a product-driven business model to a service-driven model where structured and customized solutions are easy to make. And the rest of the changes will follow gradually, revolutionizing the financial services space.

PARTING WORDS BY THE LUMINARY

Before putting an end to the conversation, Girish shares a piece of advice with our readers, “I would like to take this opportunity to request the Indian society at large to be more respectful to the business community. Businessmen are the people who create employment, pay taxes or we could say are imperative for the overall wellbeing and prosperity of our economy. They are the warriors fighting for our nation in the “trade war” going on in the world right now. Wealth

creation is something that everyone should encourage, appreciate and aspire for. The whole rich-poor divide needs to be eradicated from our mindset and businessmen are needed to be looked up to as role models. It’s high time to shed off the anti-rich mindset.”

At the same time, the businesses should operate with more accountability and responsibility to all their stakeholders – the shareholders, the lenders, the employees, the suppliers, the customers, the government and the society at large.

THE CREATIVE MIND BEHIND THE BRAND

Extremely dedicated, with a “Never give up” attitude, driven with strong lateral thinking skills & an analytical breakdown of ideas, knowing it’s all in the details, Susan Semmelmann leads her interior firm, Susan Semmelmann Interiors in the role of Interior Design Innovative Specialist. She holds over 25 years of amazing work experience in construction and design and has imagined spaces that leave a lasting impression. In her journey, Susan has the incredible privilege of providing top-notch client service and luxury design while also investing back into her community to make a difference.

Susan Semmelmann Owner

Her compelling story began with an opportunity to work in the construction and design industry, she had just graduated from the prestigious Texas Christian University in BSElementary Education and Teaching joined industry. Before Susan launched her interior design business, she owned a home building business with her husband for 12 years. During that time, as they were building homes their clients started asking her to help pick out their countertops, tiles, paint, etc., and that eventually evolved into her doing design as a career. After that, she was in business on the retail side for 18 years.

Later, she decided to begin her own business and began her entrepreneurial path with no clients, a wealth of experience, a focused enthusiasm, and a small band of allies. Armed with her expertise and a crystal-clear vision, she stepped out in faith to begin her new venture with no clients and a handful of employees willing to join her journey. But her passion, combined with team efforts, eventually found progress, Susan Semmelmann Interiors grew leaps and bounds in three short years, with 70 projects currently in the work. She managed to grow her brand with customer trust, employee retention, networking, word-of-mouth, and recognition from peers and contemporaries at unprecedented levels.

AN EDGE OVER THE PEERS

INDIA | WWW.INNOVATIVEZONEINDIA.COM | Vol-3 Special Edition April 2022

Talking about the differentiating factors of her brand, Susan Semmelmann stated– “The heart of giving is the backbone of what we do. This is a turn-key design firm that focuses on delivering excellence. We have the ability to walk our clients from construction through completion—soup to nuts. We provide many levels of custom consultation and design options, as well as hundreds of topquality vendor lines offering art, décor, and furnishings. With an eye on supply-chain issues, we are focused on diversifying product access and availability to cover our clients’ needs, including opening our own furniture manufacturing facility! We also custom design and manufacture our own lines of bedding and drapery.”

Another key point that makes Susan unique is that she has accomplished all these victories with no education in interior design and all based on a decision made completely on faith and believing in herself and her talents. Well said — It’s never too late to follow your dreams!

THE DRIVING FORCE

manufacturer, and give other designers more options to offer their clients. The leading lady is passionate about sharing what she has to help others!

Susan Semmelmann Interiors has been flourishing at a rapid pace for the past three years, which is wonderful and exhilarating, but also a little like drinking from a fire hydrant!

This consistent growth revolves around the fact that Susan and her team’s heart-centered approach focuses on excellence, down to the very smallest detail. They also come to the table without any preconceived notions for any client; they want to hear their clients’ hearts and desires for their homes before they begin to put a structure around their plans. Another aspect revolves around a “fingers in the dirt” mentality; everyone is fully prepared to pitch in for any job at any time. This isn’t a forced mindset; it’s a natural response that results from cultivating a supportive workplace.

GIVING BACK TO THE SOCIETY

Susan is closing working with the Fort Worth-based non-profit, a Wish with Wings. The organisation works for Texas children suffering from life-threatening medical conditions. Susan recently provided them with a fully customised transformation of their office lobby, which she built using her personal resources. Susan and her husband, Marc have become known as the “wing people” because of their involvement with these organisations, and they prefer this moniker; they use their wings to lift others up.

CORPORATE ETHOS

WORDS OF WISDOM

“We simply partner with each client by bringing our resources, expertise, energy, and excitement to the table to build something beautiful”, the inspiring lady proudly shared.

Follow what you believe in your heart, that God has given you the talent to do and go do it, because when you do what you love to do it’s not work. It’s not a job for me. I get to wake up every day and do what I love…It’s never a day off because it’s something that I can’t wait to get up and create to do and be able to service our clients in a way that other entities can’t because we offer resources that you can’t find.

Susan is always focused on maintaining loyalty, relationship, and connection within the team. She believes that if the focus remains on the importance of core values, the work will always reflect a high level of excellence, which ultimately results in a trusted brand. The Susan team operates with one goal in mind; to make each client know they are the most valuable part of the process. They are 100% invested in making the clients’ dreams a reality.

GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION

Initially, Susan was nervous about taking on 2,500 square feet of office space, wondering if she would be able to sustain it. At present, the firm has a 10,000 square foot building on Vickery Boulevard that includes the firm offices as well as the Fort Worth Design Studio. Here, the idea is to open these resources to the public, in addition to online availability through the 25

PRELEASE PROPERTY

A ONE-STOP DIGITIZED MARKETPLACE FOR PROFITABLE PRE-LEASED PROPERTIES

Avishek Singh | Innovative Zone

eal estate is booming, with an increasing number of investors despite the sporadic novel disruptions. The business world is ushering in a digitized tomorrow, and real estate is not left behind. With the emerging COVID-19 forces, the digitalization of real estate has accelerated. The innovation has revolutionized the way real estate is owned, sold, rented, and managed, in addition to increasing the number of investors. The scenario has also displayed an increasing interest by investors and property buyers in investing in pre-rented properties, especially commercial property.

A pre-leased commercial property has a myriad of benefits, such as a faster ROI, higher capital appreciation, stable and reliable income, easy liquidity, and rental discounts. With digital transformation, finding and investing in pre-leased properties has become easier than before. Introducing Prelease Property, an Indian-made integrated marketplace for all kinds of commercial pre-leased properties. Within a year of inception, it has established a strong footprint across the sub-continent, achieving several milestones along the way.

increase every year or two. ROI starts right after the lease deed is transferred. Furthermore, purchasing a property that has been rented out for a long time is more profitable because of the increased security. It’s even more valuable if it’s in a desirable area. Pre-leased properties are easy to sell, whereas property sales take a long time. Prelease Property establishes itself as the go-to resource for all pre-leased property issues. By monetizing a client’s fundamental assets, it can increase liquidity. This aids investors in encouraging entrepreneurship, improving business focus, and understanding value capital. In partnering with them, clients need not worry about risks associated with land, project approvals, and construction delays. They follow all regulatory obligations, such as GST, RERA, and REITs, to maintain transparency, improve commercial space demand, and make it a viable investment option.

THE PILLARS OF STRENGTH

Prelease Property is more than just a digital marketplace for pre-leased properties. It’s also a mission to increase traction in its domain. And every mission is led and managed by a like-minded team. Prelease Property, as mentioned before, is a community of experienced realtors and real estate entrepreneurs who seek to see pre-leased properties have the same prominence as other real estate verticals. This committed community is managed by Mr. Naresh P Arora (CEO), a real-estate evangelist with over 28 years of expertise. His leadership and domain expertise have helped in assembling the team that keeps its sails high. Whether it’s an individual or a corporation, the team provides personalized attention and stays with them throughout the transaction. They work in harmony with respect and care for one another because they are all equally experienced and respected leaders. The kind demeanor aids in making every transaction simple and worthwhile. It has Rs 1,400 Cr of approved properties, which is one of the notable achievements of the firm.

NARESH P ARORA CEO

A FAVORED NAME IN THE MARKET

Prelease Property was crafted with a dedicated vision to shape the future of investment. Its portal contains property deals in all price ranges from top Indian cities, all with attractive returns. But what actually makes it the preferred choice for investors? The platform was created by a like-minded group of realtors with a thorough understanding of real estate and pre-leased properties. By providing personalized assistance in every deal, they keep clients away from the underlying hassles of finding the best deals with sustainable profits.

Each deal includes customer insight followed by site visits and support throughout the property acquisition process, upholding trust and satisfaction.

MUSHROOMING DESPITE THE PANDEMIC

Prelease Property was born in a period of chaos. As such, it wasn’t left unaffected by COVID-19. But the fact that it proved itself as a scalable opportunity for investors reflects its determination and resilience. The team has successfully listed around 200 approved properties from Pan-Indian urban cities and localities. It’s trusted by 1000+ investors and has the highest number of approved properties with the highest price count. The steady demand for commercial properties in 2020 was a major catalyst for its growth. Investors, both local and international, were showing an increasing interest. Building upon these opportunities, the firm has established a PAN-India presence with multiple milestones. In recognition of their efforts, Business Connect Magazine awarded them the title of “Startup of the Year 2021.”

CARVING A NICHE FOR PRE-LEASED PROPERTIES

Investments have undergone dramatic changes over time.

People, on the other hand, continue to follow and adhere to the tried-and-true investment basics hoping to achieve more success. While some things remain constant, such as buying low and selling high, the investment landscape has changed dramatically. And it has brought a host of unique challenges for investors, especially for non-tangible investments. Due to digitization, there is an overwhelming flow of information, including daily price fluctuations in stocks, announcements, etc. With too much information, it becomes cumbersome for investors to research and find authentic resources. Also, there are overwhelming choices, and investors have to narrow their options. Nonetheless, people are still winning in this unpredictable market with great returns.

Growing with the achievements, Prelease Property is now gearing itself for the potential challenges and opportunities amid the new Omicron variant. However, it’s important to note that the firm has survived one of the trying challenges with multiple achievements. In that light, it’s quite possible the firm will prove to be a more scalable option for pre-leased properties while earning more recognition from the industry.

But for those seeking stable, sustainable, and assured returns, pre-leased properties are a great choice. Since it’s all tangible assets, investors and owners find good fixed returns, which 31

EmbarkingOnVoyage Digital Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Gulshan Parveen | Innovative Zone

EMBARKINGONVOYAGE “When it comes to marrying online with offline efforts, technology is not a driver, but it is critical in making it happen.” – Alison Corcoran, CMO, and President of Dentaquest Partnership.

There is no doubt about the fact that digital transformation is no more an option but a necessity. And, to make this possible, the existence of digital and data engineering services companies becomes extremely important.

EmbarkingOnVoyage Digital Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is one such company that is known for its excellence in work and delivery. This has been made possible under the leadership and guidance of Abhishek Nag, the Founder and CEO of EmbarkingOnVoyage Digital Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The belief and hard work of Abhishek Nag make him absolutely eligible to be included in the upcoming edition of “The 10 Ace Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2021”.

INNOVATION MEETING EXCELLENCE EmbarkingOnVoyage is a digital and data engineering services company, where innovation meets excellence. Product and Data Engineering has been the roots of belief and excellence, hence the team takes pride in delivering high-quality digital solutions.

Abhishek Nag - CEO & Founder

THE PANDEMIC GAVE BIRTH TO EMBARKINGONVOYAGE As Abhishek quotes, “It was the pandemic (during the first lockdown) which made me realize how much it has affected the whole world. It gave a sharp reminder of our fragility giving true sense to the meaning that Money is nothing but a way to earn living.”

Further, he recalls, “In October 2020, my entire family was Covid affected. During this testing time, I was retrospecting myself, my learnings, achievements, ups, and downs during my 12+ years of employment. Finally, I summarized my side of professional experiences and expectations to myself. Priya and I had a long discussion on the same and, we decided to pursue our experience and knowledge for a broader purpose. A purpose which not only takes us to level up as an individual but also, lets us contribute towards economic growth and prosperity. In December 2020, we penned down entrepreneurship, identified a few additional core stakeholders, noted down goals, purpose, mission, vision, and how we wanted to pursue (delivery model). I never believed or targeted high-level plans because such plans never conclude meaningful contributions, instead, we did ground-level work.

We started working with clients, initially, we failed at a few but that became our solid foundation and learning ground, which eventually become our strength.”

maintaining a positive cash flow, just by ensuring agile and on-time delivery following high-quality code and software development processes. EOV is 100% self-funded and bootstrapped.”

Abhishek says- During my groundwork, as a CEO, I concluded five basic things- Clear Communications, Collaborations, Partnerships, Employee Well-being, and Creating Career Roadmap for our colleagues who would eventually lead the delivery organization and ensure customer success. What else? Since then, we formally started with one client who referred us to many and we are growing through word of mouth and great client satisfaction.

DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS According to the 2020-started company, EmbarkingOnVoyage is customer-focused, agile, and innovative; carrying three decades of combined leadership experience of engineering delivery with a ready-to-use accelerator for reduced GTM.

This is how the idea of EmbarkingOnVoyage (EOV) was implemented!

INSPIRATION

As far as EOV is concerned, we believe in delivering the right experience, with the right expertise at a rational price point. The primary focus is on quality, experience, and customer success, and hence most of the business leads are through customer references.

The confident entrepreneur asserts, “Well, I believe that there are always new things to learn from each being and every one is unique. Many individuals in my life have inspired me during various phases of my career (Even the ones who weren’t kind to me). However, I am truly inspired by Mr. Ratan Tata who is a great visionary, risktaker, philanthropist, and a true leader. Taking his thought leadership throughout my entrepreneurial journey, I aim to contribute towards Economic growth, Social upliftment, and a Greener environment.”

THE WORK CULTURE Abhishek mentions, “What binds us as a team is our value system. Our value system is the pillar of our organization’s culture and we all abide by the same. It’s the experience that we as leaders can pass on to the team that counts which is reflected by the amazing 80% of our team headcount growth through employee references. EOV is confident to onboard close to 1000 team members just through the employee referral system. We aim to keep our employee referral onboarding about 80%. We trust our people, they have always fulfilled their responsibilities and go the extra mile in delivering value to the customers and the team. We believe in empowering our team rather than micro-managing.”

Abhishek voices his opinion by saying people make conscious efforts while entering entrepreneurship but for him, it was a radical decision. All elements fell into place and there was sheer willpower and confidence to do something better and the focus is completely on customer success through people empowerment.

VISION

ACHIEVEMENTS

The proud entrepreneur states, “I never say ‘MY’ vision or prospect. It’s ‘OUR’ company- What we are today, is because of our people and their trust in us. Our vision is to be recognized as genuine and valued digital engineering partners. We encourage each of our crew members (EOV employees are our crew members) to pursue their passion fearlessly. Passion has no boundaries and therefore, we nurture the Millenials and channelize their passions towards an exceptional career trajectory accompanied by innovation, excellence, and immense growth.”

The luminary has been successful in terms of employee strength since they have grown from 1 to 30 in less than 6 months.

Also, within the first six-month of the launch, EOV has won a few Long Term Agreement (LTA) with Fortune 100 companies.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

HANDLING COVID-19

The visionary acclaims, “As a part of our plans, we are confident to spread our arms in the enterprises and ISVs. Very soon, we will be onboarding a few leaders across Sales & Delivery to grow ourselves in certain geographies.”

Abhishek elucidates, “EOV’s inception was itself during the pandemic, hence the new norms of the pandemic is a part of the basic skeleton of our processes. The pandemic has removed the geographic boundaries thus partnering talent with the right opportunity was smooth and has helped us grow in a positive trajectory. Any startup always sails through the challenge between project win and resource onboarding. As a Founder and Executive Leadership member, I am fortunate to have people who came forward and collaborated with the confidence that we can make a positive impact on our clients and took over the complete delivery. In fact, our team members support us by expressing their intent to deliver work even without pay. Yes, ‘Without pay’, it’s certainly a big thing to hear and this shows how the people who surrounded us trusted our vision for EOV and leadership traits. We are delighted that since we started functioning, we have been

CHALLENGE YOUR GOALS AND START FEARLESSLY Abhishek conveys, “There is nothing called ‘Right Opportunity’. It’s you who has to grab the opportunity and make it right. Do not worry about the failures since those are a part of the learning process. Challenge your goals without worrying about your finances. Just start fearlessly because you do not have anything to lose but everything to gain. Work for yourself but have a bigger purpose where you can create a path for others towards a better life and together making the world a better place to live in.”

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

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 cor36

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.

Speaking of which, digital marketing is continually mushrooming as an eventful prospect for aspiring women. The beauty of this vertical is it allows promoting any nature of business, from designing artwork to interior decoration or even handcrafted apparel.

Anisha Singh Motwani - a young and dynamic entrepreneur, was inspired by these opportunities. She entered the digital marketing arena in 2015 and unfurled her potential l through her brainchild, Quite Easily Done (QED). Our latest edition of “The Influential Business Women of the Year 2022” exhibits the women leaders stirring the business world with their impactful journey. And we are pleased to present Anisha for being the impactful leader she is.

“Courage is not the lack of fear. It’s acting inspite of it” – MarkTwain Anisha’s journey as an entrepreneur is nothing, unlike passionate women going above and beyond to see the fruits of their labour. She has struggled with challenges, self-doubt, fear, worry, joy, and pride, but she has never let them stop her from learning and excelling. QED has the same values for its clients.

It’s a dynamic & creative hub of all-in-one marketing and advertising needs.

The organisationrecognises the modern needs for learning and succeeding in business; and optimises, strategizes, and creates online campaigns that cut through the noise. “From brand strategy, digital media planning, performance marketing to creative design and branding, we do it all quite easily,” says Anisha.

QED is always on track with the uprising industrial trends, changing cost patterns, shifting customer demands, as well as challenges, and designs its campaigns accordingly. This is further backed by R&D. Although it has recently ventured into R&D based projects, Anisha believes it’s a core pillar behind the development of their offerings. In the last 5 years, the company has boosted the growth of numerous brands in media, food & beverage, finance, retail, hospitality and a lot more. Being a Kolkata-based firm, the clients that hold a special place for them have been The Telegraph group brands, especially handling the brand t2 and the iconic confectionary Flurys.

time with team members about their careers and future aspirations. “Employees sometimes just need a listening ear, and it’s critical to provide that. I make sure there’s a good balance of everything to make sure they’re content,” explains Anisha. Put it another way, QED ensures its team’s work-life balance and that they ‘enjoy’ what they do. Furthermore, if any employee demonstrates an aptitude for other divisions, the company’s management will relocate them so that they bring more value to the organisation.

Besides being a lucrative business, QED also investsits time in empowering West Bengal’s new generation of artists. Anisha is a National Council Member of the WICCI Arts Leadership Council, which is how QED holds digital modules for artists.

The idea behind this is to train artists on how they can grow in the online space. “This is a once in quarter training session that we provide them free of cost,” says Anisha. With business as well as going above beyond to empower those who need it, Anisha has established a visible presence across the eastern market. Now they are focusing on North and West and are dedicated to creating a differentiated impact.

QED’s prowess in maintaining its growth streak complements its young and dynamic workforce. However, keeping this workforce engaged and functional is a challenge and tests Anisha’s stewardship. Before joining QED, she held executive positions in prestigious firms and was struck by the toxic culture. Hence, she ensures the same doesn’t happen at QED. The firm maintains harmony yet a healthy competitive streak amongst the workforce. Here, leaders interact and spend 45
