Editor’s Note 2021’s Most Unrelenting Businesses: Companies that are Pioneering Transformation in Their Industries

A

fter last year’s hardships, 2021 has brought with it a sense of optimism and hopefulness for the entrepreneurial world. The shift in the economy has encouraged businesses to adapt to the ‘new normal’. It has also spurred them to be ‘adversity-ready’.

They’re now prepared for literally any challenge that’d come their way. A few companies have been exceptionally capable at this adaptation.

They’ve not only survived the economic crisis but also managed to turn it into a massive growth opportunity.

“Jade Global” is one such organization that has been effective at handling the crisis. The company seamlessly transitioned its operations digitally, weeks before the government of India declared a national lockdown. Throughout the pandemic, the company paid extra attention to the health and safety of its clients as well as employees.

“Durgesh Impex Private Limited” is another company that has successfully persevered through the crisis. Despite the adversities caused by the pandemic, the incredible team at Spine Infratech adapted to the new change and worked relentlessly on their R&D. The company’s continual growth efforts helped it stay relevant in national as well as international markets.

Apart from these companies, there were others such as Manpower Consultants PVT. Ltd., Uniworld Studios, Approyo and Kerubiel which sparked innovations that were acknowledged in international markets. Their ingenious business models and robust customer support helped them gain an edge over competitors.

We all can take inspiration from these companies and learn from their longsighted business approach. We also need to keep a constant eye on market movements so that we can adapt readily to change. As always, a growth mindset and an optimistic outlook will be the key ingredients for entrepreneurial success.

Karan Yaramada CEO, Jade Global

“

Jade Global’s mission and vision statements are about creating a company culture where both customer and employee satisfaction are high.

”

Karan Yaramada, CEO, Jade Global The Brand’s Inception Story

on three Oracle upgrade projects, making progress with each passing year. Jade Global expanded its offerings, including enterprise business application implementations, software engineering, cloud services, and so on.

Once the company kickstarted its sales, there was no looking back. It embarked on another major physical expansion by establishing a second US headquarter on the East Coast in Philadelphia through acquisition. In 2019, the company established offices in Vienna, Austria, and Toronto. One of the company’s most significant milestones is the establishment of Jade Global’s R&D Unit: Jade Labs, a locus of innovation that adds a unique flavour to its partner offerings.

Jade Global is the brainchild of Karan Yaramada. He founded the company in 2003, after having worked for nearly 11 years in the IT industry. When he realized how IT services were gaining more global recognition, he quit his secured IT position and became the first employee and CEO of Jade Global. Despite having worked with big names in the industry like Tata Consultancy Services, General Electric, and KPMG, he worked independently with no paycheques for the first three months.

This was, without a doubt, one of the biggest risks he had taken during his career. “There was an opportunity in the market to start an IT services company that had the culture, competitive pricing, and benefits of a boutique firm, but at the same time could provide customers with large-scale IT projects,” says Karan.

Initially, Karan spent most of his time working simultaneously

Early Struggles

12

Every entrepreneur has to face specific challenges during the ideation stage of their business. When asked about the struggles he had to endure, Karan stated, “Looking back on

Protect: All the decisions and actions taken in the company must prioritize the employee’s protection, health, and safety.

Also, these decisions must not cause disruptions to the customers’ business.

how we started Jade Global from the ground up, going from 1-10 was much easier than going from 10-20 in terms of stages in the company. It was tough to hire, trust, coach, and train the right people, but it has been even more challenging to scale the business. “

Preserve: Every member of the company must aim to preserve what the company stands for. Values like integrity, morals, ethics, and the highest standards towards customers and employees must be maintained at all times.

Ensuring Employee Satisfaction amid The Pandemic

Karan attributes his company’s success to his dedicated and hard-working employees. Even during the pandemic, the Jade Global employees were extremely cooperative and gave 100% towards the company’s progress. “We had almost unknowingly been preparing for this period over the past few years. We went on to become a 100% remote workforce almost overnight without any glitches. This was possible because all our employees had company-issued laptops and secured VPN Access; everything was on the cloud, including our office collaboration suite, time and billing system, and network security,” states Karan.

To ensure utmost safety and protection, Karan and his leadership team formulated the ‘3Ps Ethos at Work’ in the first virtual meeting during the pandemic. The 3Ps Approach is:

Promote: Ideas of being resourceful and compassionate towards the customers and the employees must be promoted.

Per the 3 Ps approach, Jade Global declared a work from home policy in their US and India offices two weeks before the Government of India announced its first lockdown. Even now, the employees continue to preserve and demonstrate the same work ethic they did during the pre-pandemic days.

“We urged all managers to reach out to every team member so that we had an open line of communication between all employees. We were able to gain insight into the challenges of all employees and take the appropriate steps to solve these issues,” he adds.

•

Donating basic amenities to Children Living in Poverty in Inner City Philadelphia Jade Global’s East Coast employees volunteer at ‘Cradles to Crayons’, a non-profit organization established to make life better for children in need. ‘Cradles to Crayons’ provides children living in homeless or low-income situations with the essential items they need to thrive- at home, school and play.

The company’s employees spend their volunteer days in the Philadelphia warehouse sorting through toy donations, clothing, and other goods that go to local children living in poverty.

Through such initiatives, Jade Global aspires to help underprivileged communities and encourage employee enrichment through professional development programs.

A Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

We asked Karan about some invaluable insights he would like to share with young entrepreneurs. Here’s what he has to say, “Change is Innovation. Adaptation is Survival. So, Change and Adapt. Whether in business or life. You must make sure you are innovative in changing year after year to scale out the business, but at the same time, you can disrupt the flow when you make too many changes too quickly. You must be adaptable to and embrace change.”

Providing essentials to Children and Families Impacted

by HIV/AIDS in India “No one should go hungry”,, a slogan Jade Global swears by. The company’s India offices support the DESIRE Society, a nonprofit NGO organization focused on the health development and well-being of children infected and affected by HIV and AIDS in India.

Durgesh Impex Pvt. Ltd.

Fueling the Rising Aspirations of Textile Industry & Leading through Innovation important to nurture youth to strike the right balance between the attributes of growth and empathy. Working towards educational equality and women empowerment his voluntary initiative Shree Shakti Seva Kendra and Maarg foundation work towards eradicating poverty, marginalizationand social injustice thereby building a pathway for a better tomorrow for society in totality.

About the company

Durgesh Impex Pvt. Ltd. (DIPL) is into manufacturing high-quality cotton, cottonseedand cotton crude oil. It has its presence in all three major cotton-growing states of the country namely Gujarat, Jalgaon (Maharashtra) and Bhatinda (Punjab). DIPL’S branch offices are located at Jodhpur, Kolkata, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Maharashtra, and Punjab. What started as a trading Company in 1938 has evolved into one of India’s most automated and state of art ginning companies.

Today, Durgesh Impex Pvt. Ltd. holds the largest state- of-the-art cotton ginning factory in Jalgaon, Maharashtra and Rajkot, Gujarat along with a few leased units in both these States.

Initial challenges that cropped up in the business

The Indian textile industry is highly fragmented and is being dominated by unorganized sectors with small and medium industries.

The quantity and quality of cotton production have always been affected by the impact of climate change. Factors like a weak or late monsoon with extreme heat or drought reduce cotton supplies and affect cotton prices.

If a crop sees a good harvest season during a particular year, it may see a sharp fall in its prices. This results in farmers withdrawing from sowing the crop in the next year which affects the supply. However, the MSP (minimum support price) fixed by the government causes higher investments and production of crops.

DIPL is one of the biggest manufacturers of cotton, and the textile industry being an intensively capital-driven industry with no credit system with farmers. The company’s biggest challenge was the Channelization of Capital Flow. Where the company had to match their cash flows in order to maintain the supply chain and the ecosystem but gradually with proper budgeting they tapped the entire phenomenon.

DIPL’s Entrepreneur Journey

DIPL is a Third Generation Business, Founded in 1938, by Shri Hanuman Prasad Agarwal, based out of West Bengal. Shri Hanuman Prasad Agarawal commenced with the trading of Cotton and agricommodities. By the late 70s, Mr. Anil Agarwal, father of Mr. Durgesh Agarwal moved the business headquarters to Ahmedabad, Gujarat which was known to be the Manchester of India. With minimum support, he took that calculative risk of changing his business location from Kolkata to a new city altogether and faced the challenges and upsides of relocating while his trade in Raw Cotton continued.

By 1990, wanting to go beyond trading they set up their First largest fully-automated ginning company in the country at Dholka District of Ahmedabad , which was then spread across 5 sprawling acres of land.

They took their second ginning plant on Lease near Himmatnagar north Gujarat in 1997 and today Durgesh Impex holds the largest stateof-the-art cotton ginning factory in Jalgaon, Maharashtra.

Ginning being the first step of Cotton production made them believe that textile over the coming years will be one such business that will never disperse. This led them to invest innovation and creativity in DIPL which enhanced the business growth.

As a multi-disciplinary Entrepreneur today, Mr. Durgesh Agarwal has transitioned from a marketing leader to an entrepreneur while working within cross-functional teams and developing his Industrial Presence under Textile, Real Estate, Education, and Philanthropy. From innovation in fiber, to sustainability, his venture Durgesh Impex Private Limited is powering high-quality Textile Material across the country.

Aiming towards providing a better and smarter lifestyle in the form of better home or workspace, Durgesh Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. is his step towards an emerging and developing enterprise in the field of real estate.

As an Entrepreneur and a member on the advisory committee of various universities and youth programs, he firmly believes that it’s

Uniqueness of DIPL

DIPL has always maintained that trust for reliability which has helped the company earn goodwill. In textiles, farmers must be given that comfort and trust so they bring in the best quality of cotton. Keeping that in mind over the years the company has developed that confidence through their ethics and practices where now farmers want them to buy their cotton even before the market opens. Also with buyers, DIPL’s quality speaks out in the market, where their customers are ready to pre-book their products even before the product is out.

DIPL holds one of the largest state- of-arts, automated units in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Being transparent and unique, the company offers HVI testing certificates to all its customers. With an inbuilt Lab, which is generally a third-party service, DIPL examines every cotton bale and shares its parameters with buyers who are free to verify the details.

DIPL has its presence in all cotton-growing states of India with its own manufacturing units, which is rarely observed in any textile industry. Known for delivering a variety of cotton qualities and cotton-

byproducts, the company’s commitment and seriousness towards work has helped them carve their niche and has given them value recognition within the industry.

Just because DIPL’s business is conducted between companies, rather than between a company and individual consumer, DIPL technically understands the value chain of the industry where they consider themselves to be the first fragment of the system, and just because they understand the ecosystem they treat their customer as their partner despite the fact that they are not directly dealing with them. For DIPL Customer is the most important part of any business. Without the customer, a business can’t imagine a running trade.

Marketing Initiatives

The Textile Industry has been an ever-evolving industry, with new players coming into the market, DIPL is always trying to understand what new additions are being made or should be made hence the company has been actively associated with major textile forums like the International cotton association, CCI, East India Cotton Association, State cotton association and has been a registered name under Ministry of textiles with active participation at various trade fairs.

Initially, the company’s marketing was direct and outbound but over time the company has realized that research is the bedrock of any modern marketing effort. From marketplace research to brand research, detailed scientific studies have helped DIPL make more informed decisions.

Client Association with DIPL

DIPL is dedicated towards achieving customer satisfaction through their commitment by providing reliable, maintainableand durable products on time and are continuously striving to improve their product and quality system.

Being a B2B Business model, DIPL has always had a one to one connect with a very direct and detailed interaction and association with the clients. There are various parameters and specifications that need to be addressed during the manufacturing and processing of cotton, hence the company is always in touch with clients to understand their requirements and how their requirements can be translated to exact raw material.

DIPL’s Future Plans •

•

•

The company wishes to add strength to the global supply chain with a total vertical integration from Fiber to Foreign Trade which would include manufacturing of Fiber, Fabric, and Fashion commodities with reduced lead time and shortened production runs.

The company has been religiously working on understanding the current trends and future needs of society in order to come up with products that focus on the requirements of posterity.

With technological advancements, the company plans on achieving greater market responsiveness with emphasis on a multi-skilled workforce, closer management-workforce cooperationand increasing reliance on externally supplied industrial services.

Despite the major blow in the economy due to the pandemic, 2022 seems to be the year of redemption and everyone can expect the economy to not only recover but also to show significant signs of growth. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently projected an impressive 12.5 percent growth rate for India hence the entrepreneurs need to follow the Suite and

Durgesh Impex Pvt Ltd (DIPL) has achieved all modern establishment standards with state-of-art infrastructure.

work towards making India the fastest-growing major economy recovered from pandemic-hit 2020 and to achieve this on the business front, DIPL and other entrepreneurs are looking forward to more connected ecosystem and collaborations that can proactively innovate and grow.

Piece of Advice for Young Entrepreneurs

As stated by the Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi “Don’t dream to be something but rather dream to do something great”.

Young Entrepreneurs must be among those who try not to become a person of success but a person of value. Every person dreams of success.

Everyone thinks of success and wants success. But, every person doesn’t work hard for it.

Let’s strive and become the ones who see the world as it could be and are motivated by its imperfection. The ones who redouble their efforts to build that better future for themselves and others, as those who see opportunities where others see only problems, the ones who turn obstacles into stepping stones, Hence:

Entrepreneurs must: Think far-reaching. Find a good counselor.

Do what they love. Check their attitude. Follow the rules. Know their desires. Stay purposeful. Manage their time. Understand how to make use of the media appropriately as Success does not come easy but people who work hard meet success sooner or later in life.

Mr. Gagan Arora

Founder & CEO | Vertex Global Services 22

The Brand’s “Winning Formula” Vertex Global Services operates on what they like to call their “winning formula”. The brand firmly believes in providing practical yet valuable services, adhering to the following principles:

The Brand’s Future Plans One of the primary goals of the company is to establish itself as a prodigious brand nationally and internationally. Another priority of the company is to offer its customers a digital transformation, through which they can reap the benefits of digital and tech to the greatest extent. To achieve this, the company plans on providing customer-centric business solutions and innovations.

The current pandemic has widened the digital skills gap considerably. To overcome this obstacle, the company, through Vertex Digital Academy will aim at fostering digitization. This E-learning platform will also empower learners and companies to excel in their respective careers, and prepare better for the future.

“As we thrive, we will continue to invest in expanding and for that have a robust plan to broaden ourselves across the globe with our development projects along with Vertex Digital Academy and Cosmos,” says Mr. Arora.

The company is also thrilled to tap into its new segment with the “Train and Deploy” service in numerous countries across the globe. The “Train and Deploy” service trains individuals as per the exact skill set required by the companies. The HTD service providers train the resources and deploy them to various clients as soon as the training is over. With this service, the company aims at upskilling and training talented youths for their future.

Furthermore, the company has implemented a growth strategy and also bought footprints through Vertex Digital Academy and Cosmos. With this, the company is hopeful to increase its market share to 20 percent.

Trust: Earning the clients’ trust is of prime importance to the brand. The company’s immense industry experience, advanced technological expertise, and innovative service portfolio help them in doing so.

Innovation: The brand always seeks new opportunities in new sectors to improve, grow and upgrade its services.

Reliability: The company is the fastest-growing Business Optimization Solutions provider in the global market for a reason. Its highly efficient, effective, and affordable solutions make it a reliable and trustworthy brand.

Owing to this winning formula, the company has so far established a 92% client renewal rate over the years. “Our customers’ satisfaction rate over the years has been above 90% which I believe is a promising standard. Our hallmarks are to create great experiences because we believe they are memorable,” says Founder & CEO of Vertex Global Services, Mr. Gagan Arora.

Vertex Global Services Inception & Success Story Despite his initial failures with start-ups, Mr. Gagan Arora never gave up hope. His passion for technology and creating a sustainable ecosystem encouraged him to launch Vertex Global Services.

The company was created in a garage with a humble two-member team in Miami, Florida. “I left my job, sacrificed monthly salary & perks, and worked out of a garage with minimal liquidity, to achieve my dream. I always work in a way to be more diverse than can initiate more possibilities,” states Mr. Arora.

Every business owner has to embark upon an arduous journey to reach their goals. In the initial stages, Mr. Arora too found it difficult to keep his team, who he fondly refers to as his “Unstoppables”, driven and motivated. However, having a reliable and efficient CEO like Mr. Gagan helped him curb that issue. “Becoming an entrepreneur requires versatility, which is both enduring and inspiring. Gagan Arora has played many roles at Vertex as an entrepreneur, but the most critical is keeping my Unstoppables (team) excited and driven,” he adds.

By and by, he extended operations in the USA, Philippines, India, and most recently, Nepal. At present, the company has a team of 700+ professionals working across four continents. The company has also ranked 19th amongst the top 50 most innovative companies in the world.

To date, the company has successfully utilized artificial intelligence for many renowned companies in the industry. Thanks to its highly experienced team of veterans, the company provides solutions as a Fortune 500 organization. It aspires to help leading technology innovators develop innovative products and venture into new areas of AI. Mr. Arora’s solution-oriented thinking and diligence have won him the CEO of the year award, 2020, recognized as 40under40 by CNBC & Asia One and ranked him amongst the top 100 influencers by Forbes & GMI. These recognitions have inspired him to take on new endeavours. His primary passion, however, shall always be developing cost-effective and cutting-edge technologies.

Pandemic Career Support Platform A successful company, in the truest sense, is one that does not forget its corporate social responsibility.

The pandemic has caused many individuals to face the wrath of unemployment. To help job seekers connect with employers, Vertex Global Services has announced a ‘Pandemic Career Support Platform’.

Through this campaign, the company aspires to generate employment during the global crisis. This initiative will integrate workforce management for unemployed individuals as well as employers to bridge the gap between the two.

The company has joined hands with over 3000 clients to help offer better employment opportunities to job seekers. The campaign is designed to serve as a career accelerator for skilled individuals who are struggling during these hard times.

On the ‘Pandemic Support Platform’, individuals can explore their preferred positions and even add their desired profiles. The best part about this platform is that it is absolutely free.

A Message for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Being an indefatigable proponent of perseverant positivity, Mr. Gagan Arora urges eager-beavers to wholeheartedly commit to the entrepreneurial process. Here’s what he has to say: “I think it is very easy to kick off a business but becoming a promise able entrepreneur is very onerous, requires patience, and is exhausting at the same time. The key to success is “passion” and I think the golden ticket in the process is “values”. Success speaks to have peace within yourself and whatever you do with determination. However, it is very important to have a solid business plan which must inspire you daily and makes you happy to be at work. Never hang back to push the boundaries, make yourself comfortable with I Can! Be optimistic, keep the aim right, be committed and develop the right skills with the right team with the best information and data sets.”

However, it is best to push your limits and work with complete dedication and passion until you reach your goals. Think extraordinary, think apart to reach your goal.

Mr. Manoj Tandon’s Ambitious Plan for SME’s

Manoj Tandon Chief executive officer DALITSO About Dalitso: What inspired you to start your Dalitso?

After being in the Top Management of many companies, when I decided to come out of the corporate world and work towards giving back to the society in general and business world in particular, I was looking around and talking to various people.

One thing that I came out clearly was that if I really want to contribute to the business world, I should seriously look at helping SMEs

32

What is a customer for you?

I don’t like the concept of customer. For me, there are some people or some company which have needs which I can fulfill as a partner (not in the legal sense). I am that partner. I am not there to make money off that company, I am there to first make them succeed and then thru that make my living.

in our country. Such companies cannot afford to hire top people of the industry, cannot afford to engage big consulting companies BUT they are in need of some serious advice about how to manage, sustain and grow their companies. They start, grow to some level and then get stuck at the certain scale.

Thus, was born the idea of Dalitso. A company focused towards helping the SME’s. Which provides high quality guidance and mentoring at a cheap, affordable price (price only to ensure that the giver and receiver remain serious towards the work).

How well are the clients connected with your brand?

Quite well.

I have never run any sales or marketing campaign. Customers have come to me purely by word to mouth.

We are working in US, UK and I am also a mentor for Tech Manchester (a group whose vision is to help SME’s in Greater Manchester Area).

What were the initial challenges faced by your business?

Initial challenges were essentially that whenever people think of consulting, they think of large expenses. It took me a while to explain to the youngsters that times and business models have changed. Cheap and affordable consulting is also possible.

What are the most effective marketing initiatives or programs you have used to promote your initiatives/offerings/services?

Like I said before, I don’t run such campaigns. Customers come to me thru word of mouth because somewhere I try not to look at them as a customer.

To begin, how is your brand-defining “trust” in the market? What stands behind its uniqueness?

Short term trust can be built by smart marketing campaigns but long-term trust can only be built by actions.

We don’t believe in short term relationships. For us, we want to be with our clients till they have attained success which they aspire for.

That is what is behind its uniqueness.

Have you measured how much trust consumers have in your brand?

Haven’t lost any customer due to poor mentorship or guidance so far. That is my biggest measure of trust.

What are the offerings (services/solutions)?

Our relationships start with us trying to understand our customer’s business, its founders’ vision, financial situation and other current status of the company.

Post that we work with our clients to work out their strategy, business plans, and action plans.

Once that is done, usually we start by supporting them in increasing their sales.

We are very hands on people so I not only tell them what to do but also sit with them in customer calls, go with them for the customer meetings etc.).

The idea is not to just tell but do things with them so that they can also learn by watching.

Generally, post the improvement in Sales starts the work on Delivery, HR etc. Because as the business starts to grow, it has to delivered and it has to be delivered by people…. of course, during the entire time, Finances remain under the magnifying glass at all times.

These are the offerings that we have, essentially, the entire business cycle.

What’s the first thing that enters a consumer’s mind when they see your brand?

A company which is a friend, philosopher, guide…and mentor.

More like a elder in the house who cares for the family and youngsters yet has the capability to help in the development of the young ones.

What is the future plan connected with the brand?

We have gone international in times of Covid. We now want to expand our footprint in Europe.

How has been your journey as an entrepreneur?

Exciting, Exhilarating and amazing. It’s the most beautiful feeling to see your client partner succeed. The smile on the owner’s face makes it all worthwhile.

What do you hope to accomplish within the next year from personal as well as professional point of view?

Am planning to write a book to summarize my experiences of this journey. For the company, going farther and deeper internationally is my plan.

In an age of mistrust, are you seeing an evolution in how consumers trust brands, or are they still for the most part doubtful?

As I mentioned before, trust takes time to build, solidify and sustain. Any short-term measure not backed with solid work results in loss of trust. Since many brands are going for short term measures, suspicion persists.

A piece of advice for the young entrepreneurs It is tough to advice in one line. It will not be proper. Reach me at manoj@tmtc.co Will be happy to give you my thoughts in detail over a cup of coffee.

How did you make your mark in the industry and in the heart of the customers?

I have been in the industry since the 1980’s so I knew most of the happenings for long time. Also, working for a long time in US, UK and France helped me further.

There is only one way to make a mark in the heart of your customers, deliver value and stay laser focused on it at all times.

A feedback from your end would be really appreciable. Your words matter for us!!

Top Indian Entrepreneurs who are former Engineers and never went B- School

O

ften, we come to hear of the news of graduate engineers being unemployed for several years after graduating. In 2015, as per a survey done by a leading skill assessment agency, Meritrac, only 10 percent of engineers graduating were capable of being hired by IT services companies. The figure for product development firms was even more shocking. Only 6 percent were employable in top firms like Microsoft, Adobe Inc, etc.

If you think this is despicable, the worst is yet to come. It is estimated that only 4 percent of the engineering graduates can solve a fundamental mechanical and chemical problem for core and manufacturing firms. No wonder we find highly qualified engineers applying for peon jobs in the Railways. As per leading staffing firms, Teamlease, most graduates have to be trained on the job for at least a year before being deployed on real-time projects. So, firms lose a lot of money in training these fresh hires before extracting the maximum benefit out of them.

For the last five years, only 15-20 percent of engineers could obtain campus placement directly, and the rest had to wait almost three years before getting the right kind of job. Therefore, many engineers are starting their businesses and opting for entrepreneurship, instead of focusing only on appointments. Let us list the top five Indian engineers who started great enterprises without acquiring an MBA.

1) Vishal Shah – Storia Foods and Beverages Vishal Shah is one of the most pioneering businessmen in the field of chemical engineering. He utilized technology to solve the issues of the food industry using innovative products. The latest technologies are utilized to make the process easier, turn the product valuable and healthier. Shah created Storia Foods & Beverages in the year 2016. The mission is to provide convenience and sustainability and lead to a much simpler lifestyle with nutrition products. Storia Foods and Products handles four Stock Keeping Units like coconut water. This was followed by fresh fruit juices, milk powder, and shakes. Within two years, Storia expanded to fifty-two cities in India and having fifty thousand retail stores. The company recorded a turnover of Rs 23 crores in the year 2018-2019.

2) Sumit Agrawal – Vyapar Sumit Agrawal was working for Intuit’s Quick Books, accounting software for small firms. He realized that small firms and MSME’s required a much smaller software, which was much more affordable.

In 2016, Sumit commenced Vyapar with savings of eight lakhs. It is a straightforward business accounting and inventory management app for small firms. The app can be used on PCs, smartphones, and downloaded by more than a million MSMEs. Vyapar’s turnover has reached three crores per annum.

34

3) Vijay Mansukhani – Onida Vijay Mansukhani was working in the merchant navy in the 1970s. After meeting his future wife, Gulu Mirchandani, he jumped the entrepreneurship wagon and launched the first color TV brand ‘Onida’, during the Asian Games in New Delhi, in 1982. The Indian government had announced the entry of color TV. Soon, Onida became the first choice of the Indian consumer. As time progressed, Onida became a 736 crores firm.

4) Zubair Rahman – The Fashion Factory Zubair Rahman, from an Electrical and Electronics engineering background, worked as a lowly CCTV operator at a garment factory in Tirupur. He received an order to install CCTV’s in the eCommerce company office. After realizing the opportunity of starting a fashion business, he left his job, and in 2015, he invested just Rs 10000/- to commence the Fashion Factory in his home. The firm is receiving 200-300 orders daily, and the firm has a turnover of 50 lakhs every month.

5) Ajay Kumar Jaiswal – Urja Gasifiers Ajay Kumar Jaiswal, an engineer by profession, started the firm Urja Gasifiers to make renewable energy and manufacturing eco-friendly products for customers. The firm has established in the areas of pollution control and renewable energy. It is known for high-quality manufacturing. The firm is focussed on making creation systems. The market size of the cremation system exceeds 5000 crores. The firm has a income of more than 1.25 crores.

Conclusion Through this blog, the author has tried to explain the incredible examples of India’s top five engineer turned business people, who have created top-class businesses without actually pursuing an MBA. This dispels the common notion that it is essential to waste tons of money, acquiring a wasteful MBA degree. These success stories also prove the notion that no business school can compensate for a real-time experience. This blog doesn’t intend to demean the value of an MBA in any way. If you acquire a Master of Business Administration from a top-notch school, it holds a lot of weight.

Even if you have missed the coveted MBA degree by any chance, you needn’t despair at all. It would help if you utilized this time by gaining valuable experience, which will enable you to imbiibe a lot of new skills like risk-taking, developing new customers, and beautiful habits. You will earn an additional two-year income during all this time, which you would have lost while pursuing an MBA. Lastly, more significantly, young Indian engineers must not always go in for jobs and waste their time searching. They should explore the option of entrepreneurship and take advantage of the enabling environment, which has emerged lately due to the easy availability of working capital and loans.

Five Leading Female Indian Business Tycoons of the Year 2021 Who Inspired Every Aspiring Women Entrepreneur of India

I

ndia always has a long tradition of entrepreneurship since ancient times. However, in the past, much until the 20th century, business and industry were mostly dominated by certain classes and mostly men. This imbalance was partly due to lack of education and also, due to outdated social norms, which restricted the movement of ladies outside homes. In the West, female entrepreneurs were much more prevalent and famous due to the Industrial Revolution.

Who can forget the legendary businesswoman, Estee Lauder, who co-founded the cosmetics giant Estee Lauder along with her husband? She started her journey, selling skincare and makeup stuff. They initially did it in beauty salons and showed the products on women while resting under hair dryers. The company was launched in 1946 and soon became the market leader worldwide, which led Time Magazine to rate her as one of the most influential business legends of the 20th century, in 1998. Commensurate with the removal of authoritative state controls over the Indian economy in the 1990s, entrepreneurship primarily shifted from being a male-dominated profession to encompassing all sections of society, including women. Now, let us check out the top female Indian business legends of 2020, who have made the country proud.

1) Savitri Jindal

Savitri Jindal is perhaps the top individual in the list of Indian female business tycoons in 2021. She holds the coveted title of Chairperson Emeritus of Jindal Steel & Power. Jindal Steel & Power is one of the leading firms in steel, mining, power fields. Savitri Jindal took ownership of the company, after the demise of its founder Om Prakash Jindal in 2005.

Besides business, she is also a leading participant in politics, and in 2013, was elected as the minister in the cabinet for the Harayana government. She held the post of Minister of State for Revenue and Disaster Management, Rehabilitation and Housing, Consolidation, and the Minister of State for Urban Local Bodies and Housing. Today, at the age of 70, she is worth a staggering 5.8 billion USD.

2) Kiran Mazumdar Shaw

Perhaps, the most excellent example of a self-made female business tycoon, who has turned into a role model for all other female entrepreneurs, is the one and only Kiran Mazumdar Shaw. She is the Founder and Executive Chairperson of Biocon. Biocon, which has its headquarters in Bangalore, is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical firm. The company strives to increase affordable access to painful therapies for critical diseases like cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune. In 1978, the company was fabricated and was among the nation’s self-made business legends. According to Forbes, Biocon was the first firm to acquire approval from the USFDA for two separate biosimilars of drugs utilized in treating certain cancers. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw has received two highest national honors like Padma Shri in 1989 and Padma Bhushan in 2005. Among international honors, she received the highest civilian award of France, Knight of the National Order of the French Legion of Honour. Now, she is worth 4.3 billion USD and is aged sixty-seven years.

3) Smita Krishna Godrej

Mr. Laszlo Dellei’s Vision to Transform the Global Cybersecurity Scenario

I

The company is one of the leading supporters of the Hungarian DPO Ball, an annual event that provides data protection experts, officers, and the employees of the Hungarian Supervisory Authority a platform to discuss ideas.

The company also supported numerous initiatives that helped the people in need during the second wave of COVID-19 in Hungary.

For any business to survive in the market, it has to stay updated with the emerging market trends. With Kerubiel, Mr. Dellei tries to lead by example. He ensures that the company always provides solutions or applications that have been tried, tested, and utilized before. To achieve this, the company gathers knowledge about all the emerging trends consistently.

“Being prepared means being well-educated in any field that might be of relevance. Therefore, all employees are strongly encouraged and supported in their efforts to widen their knowledge or skills.” Mr. Dellei stated.

Mr. Dellei’s Take on Stereotypes and His Source of Inspiration in the Industry

When it comes to stereotypes, Mr. Dellei believes that one must not allow them to shape his/her life. According to him, success comes from different sources and at different times to everybody. That’s why one must never give up on his/her dreams merely because they couldn’t fit into a stereotype.

“The world goes forward because people are willing to think unconventionally, outside the box, thus igniting creativity and innovation. Without these aspects, the world would be a poorer

Mr. Dellei’s Inspiring Entrepreneurship Journey

Founder and CEO of Kerubiel, Mr. Laszlo Dellei, since the beginning of his career, mainly dealt with IT and Information security issues. He advised his clients on IT Infrastructure protection and how to tackle possible cyberattack threats. As time went by, Mr. Dellei realized how his area of expertise organically merged with other fields like data protection.

Spurred on by his previous progress, Mr. Dellei joined hands with co-operating experts belonging from various fields, as a means to gain more relevant knowledge and skills. During this time, Mr. Dellei got the idea of launching a company that could provide counseling on IT and all related fields. And so, in 2017, Kerubiel was established with the intent of serving as a onestop-shop for all consulting needs.

“For those who look up to us, we usually convey

the basic principles of Kerubiel: resilience, open-mindedness, and lifelong learning. We consider technology as an opportunity for further improvement that might shape our services as well as the operations of the clients.

”

How Mr. Dellei Ensures the Satisfaction of his Employees-

At Kerubiel, employees are treated as exceptional experts in their respective fields. They are frequently encouraged to grasp practical as well as theoretical knowledge whenever they can.

The company firmly believes in pushing its employees to take initiatives and take active participation in all of its conferences as well as training.

Mr. Dellei’s Noteworthy Laurels

Mr. Laszlo Dellei, the Founder and CEO of Kerubiel is one of the leading Information Security experts in Hungary and Worldwide as well. He is an active executive member of ISACA.

At present, he is pursuing his university studies from the ELTE Institute of Postgraduate Legal Studies to become a professional expert in Data Protection and Data Security.

Mr. Dellei on the importance of R&D-

According to Mr. Dellei, an IT-based company should never neglect the importance of R&D as it thrives on innovation.

“Technology-based applications house both, the potential to improve the operations and security of IT, and information systems and the threat to disrupt such infrastructures.

For instance, AI-based privacy enhancement and security applications are available in the market. On the other hand, AI is exploited by cybercriminals to override conventional 42

security measures. Thus, a company providing services in these fields has no other option but to constantly research, develop, and utilize such technologies.” He stated.

Last year, the company pushed its R&D department to stay updated with all the latest industry trends. As of lately, the company has also been taking active participation in numerous R&D projects on emerging technologies like AI and VR. One of the projects the company is involved in aims at simplifying cybersecurity by adopting an advanced AI-based solution.

Another such project is focused on a VR-based health app that offers assistance to stroke patients.

Being a member of the Hungarian AI Community, the company keeps itself engrossed in R&D with the intent to always come up with innovative and efficient technologies.

Mr. Dellei on Entrepreneurial Participation in Today’s timesMr. Dellei believes that the entrepreneurial participation evident in today’s times is based on mutual assistance, innovative solutions, and shared knowledge.

The competitive environment encourages entrepreneurs to be creative, thereby strengthening the resilience of the economy.

Mr. Dellei’s Future Plans for Kerubiel-

When it comes to Kerubiel’s plans for the future, Mr. Dellei wishes to make R&D a central part of the company’s operations. As Hungary has recently adopted its first modern AI strategy, the company’s main focus will be on AI and other related research projects.

Through Kerubiel, Mr. Dellei also aspires to establish fruitful connections with various experts in other fields. With this, he is hopeful that the company will bag national as well as international projects, thereby making an impact on a regional level. “Hopefully, our fresh and innovative, yet professional approach provides an opportunity to Kerubiel to become one of the most innovative leading company providing counseling to its clients in the CEE region.” He stated.

Mr. Dellei’s Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs-

Every aspiring entrepreneur needs some words of encouragement on a timely basis. Having been in the industry for nearly two decades, Mr. Laszlo Dellei has acquired some profound wisdom that he’d like to impart to young entrepreneurs. Here’s what he has to say, “ At Kerubiel, we believe that patience is of utmost importance for a successful company. Success is not immediate. It comes in time if the company works hard to achieve the goals set out in a welldefined strategy. Even if you have found the right way, minor setbacks are always waiting for you. If you overcome them and you clearly show the path for others, especially your employees, you will experience success.”

How clean water comes under unescapable necessities of Human

C

is near a source of pollution. The occurrence of dangerous chemicals in unpolluted water is rare, but still, it occurs.

In 2018, 2.1 billion people were still living without safe drinking water in their homes worldwide and more than 892 million people did not have the choice but to defecate outside.

Polluted water isn’t just dirty—it’s deadly. About 1.8 million people are dying every year of diarrheal diseases like cholera. There are millions of others who are seriously sickened by a host of water-related ailments—many of which are easily preventable. In the case of developed nations, who are bestowed with everything from technology to luxury, getting clean water at home is as ‘natural’ as breathing fresh air. Most people from advanced countries may not particularly pay attention to the availability of clean water, but this is not the case with people in the rest of the world.

There are a lot of nations still left in the world that do not have access to clean water sources or water that is fit for human consumption.

Universal access to clean water is one of the basic human

an you imagine your existence without food and water?

Possibly not. You can live without food for some days but without water, it is impossible to survive even a single day. Water is an important asset and we can’t even imagine our life without. We all know that water is the main source of existence on Earth.

Our life is dependent on water. We can say that “Water is a lifeline” for all the creatures existing on this planet. About one-tenth of the world’s population is lacking from clean water and only 3% of water is drinkable in the earth. Clean water means good health and as you know water is the first and foremost medicine. So, drinking pure and clean water is important.

Water is a fundamental human need. There is a requirement of 20 to 50 liters, at least, of clean and safe water per day by human beings for drinking, cooking, and simply keeping themselves clean. Naturally occurring surface water usually is not sterile. Even the pure mountain streams frequently contain some microorganisms which can cause gastric distress. Water is mostly considered safe unless it 44

the presence of contaminated water. Imagine the risks that people are subject to when the only thing they can drink is water that comes from sewage and contaminated sites like industries. Clean water is an essential element not only to remain safe from disease but also to maintain good health.

rights and an essential step towards improving living standards worldwide. Even the United Nations has considered this aspect. The communities which are deficient in clean water availability are economically poor and their residents trapped in an ongoing cycle of poverty.

Education suffers when sick children miss school. The opportunities to excel economically are routinely lost to the impacts of rampant illness and the time-consuming processes of acquiring water in places where it is not readily available. It is the children and women who mostly bear the brunt of these burdens.

The utility of water essentially lies in hydration and for food production—but sanitation is an equally important, and complementary, use of water. Improper sanitation services not only breeds disease, it can rob people of their basic human dignity.

In this article, we have highlighted major reasons why everyone needs access to clean drinking water and safely managed sanitation, right at home.

3. Helps in Getting Rid of Toxins

One of the benefits of having clean, fresh and safe water is that it helps in getting the body rid of all types of toxins, whether they are created due to bodily reactions, obtained from outside sources or the ones that occur because of the consumption of contaminated water.

4. Needed for Agriculture and Food Production

The production of food includes clean water as an essential ingredient. Producing crops and grains with contaminated water will lead to the bacteria and disease spreading to those who consume the fresh produce. Thus, the water used in agriculture must also come from safe and clean resources.

1. Provides Nourishment

Water is life. Those in administration and power should understand this quickly so that this law of water being available to everyone can be implemented. Water is the primary source of nutrition. The body of human beings is made of 60% water, and this is a clear enough indication of the importance of water. Humans need to be adequately hydrated for the proper functioning of their physiological systems.

Apart from this, water helps maintain organ health and allows the blood to maintain the consistency it requires to flow freely and transport oxygen and nutrients to every cell of the body.

5. Improved Sanitation Facilities

Sanitation purposes also require clean water. There is a probability that if clothes are washed, or the body is washed with contaminated water, this too will increase diseases. The same is the case for cooking, cleaning, and other similar tasks that are an integral part of our lives. Clean water is necessary for good health.

It is quite clear now that providing access to clean water is a stepping-stone to human development. People gaining access to clean water are better able to practice good hygiene and sanitation. Children maintain good health and are more likely to attend school. All the worries related to water-related diseases and lack of access to clean water can be put aside by the parents. Instead, they can water crops and livestock and diversify their incomes. Communities no longer struggle for rights to a waterhole.

2. The Prevention of Diseases

Most people don’t know that if they are unable to drink safe and clean water, it gives rise to various kinds of diseases. Fatal medical conditions like cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis A all occur because of the consumption and or

Having been in the industry for a decade, Mr. Goyal has certainly seen umpteen ups and downs in his career. Here’s some advice to aspiring entrepreneurs: “Never lose focus on your objective. Young entrepreneurs may find a herculean task facing them when they initially get down to running their business. Patience with a well-defined Plan A as well as Plan B and C is the key.

Hard work and focus definitely pays off.”

Inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs facing troubles in their career journey -

Mr. Ajay Piramal is a well-known Indian business person and the chairman of Piramal Enterprises Limited.

After facing countless troubles in life, he proved himself as a phoenix. His story is of a remarkable business transformation, from a textile magnet to becoming India’s 4th largest pharmaceutical manufactures.

Currently, he is the chairman of Rs 400 billion groups, comprising Nicholas Piramal, the fourth-largest pharmaceutical company in India, Morarajee Weaving and Spinning, and Gujarat Glass.

Ajay Piramal Chairman of Piramal Group

Ajay has done Masters in Management Studies from the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies and has completed his Advanced Management Programme from Harvard Business School (USA).

from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute and had just joined his father’s textile manufacturing unit. Things were moving fairly well, but this was still a very nascent and learning stage for Ajay. The inevitable happened in 1979 when his father died in New York.

The initial phase of life

Ajay had a well-settled family background. Despite this, he had to go through several difficulties, to become what we see today. In the year 1977, when Ajay was 22 years of age, he had completed his MBA

Things worsened when his elder brother too, decided to part ways from the family business in 1980. Only 16 days after the separation, all the textile mills in the city were forced to closed down due to a strike led by 48

Datta Samant, which went on for over a year. This was followed by another huge tragedy within their family, when his brother, his only support died of cancer in 1982. His brother left behind his young widow and their three children. After all these happenings, he decided to take control of the business and made sure to turn around everything for good. It was in 1984, at the age of 29 – he became the Chairman.

» The acquisition of Ceylon Company Ltd in Sri Lanka in 1999 » The acquisition of Pfizer’s UK manufacturing facility called Morpeth in 2006 » A deal with Merck for development and discovery of new drugs in 2007 » The second drug development deal with Eli Lilly in 2008 » Formation of ‘Piramal foundation’, a philanthropic arm of the group » A name change from Nicholas Laboratories to Piramal Healthcare Limited » Establishingits real estate entity, Piramal Realty » Purchase of a 5.5% stake in Vodafone India for ₹30.07 billion ($618 million). This took their total stake in the mobile telecom firm to 11%, which was eventually sold to Prime Metals, an indirect subsidiary of Vodafone Group in 2014. » In 2012, acquisition of ‘Abacus International’.

It is a UK-based global market access solutions company for many of the world’s leading healthcare companies. » Purchasing the brand ‘Caladryl’ (a skincare product) in India by Piramal Enterprises.

Caladryl is an anti-pruritic solution for minor skin irritations and itching.

However, the biggest announcement had taken place in 2010 when Piramal Healthcare sold its domestic formulations business to US drug maker Abbott for a whopping ₹17,000 crore.

The deal was considered to be the most expensive in the industry. Ajay decided to sell this business division that was making revenues worth more than ₹1,800 crores was sole because of the valuations he got.

Venturing into the Pharma Business

Soon after he took control of the business, he realized that he needed to move out of the textile business.

Indeed, the textile industry had a good future, but because of the ways, the policies were fashioned, and because it was also an industry where commodity and cost were the major players, large companies just could not be successful.

Since he did not have the pertinent knowledge of all the fields, he knew that the only way to grow was to acquire or merge companies in suitable sectors.

He started with the acquisition of Gujarat Glass Limited. It is used to manufacture glass packaging for pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Later, he also understood that the next boom that will happen in India would be in the pharmaceutical industry.

Therefore, he went for the acquisition of Nicholas Laboratories.

After acquiring Nicholas Laboratories, under this banner itself, the company went on a spree of acquisitions such as the Indian subsidiaries of Roche, Boehringer Mannheim, Rhone Poulenc, ICI, and Hoechst Research Centre. This eventually grew the company to become listed amongst the top five pharmaceutical companies in India. Nicholas had reached the highest valuation in the whole pharmaceutical industry by the year 2010.

Mr. Ajay Piramal has encountered myriad phases of life. He has come out of such miserable circumstances, which is not easy for anyone. Today, when People find him in Forbes rankings amongst the richest Indians they look up at him as an idol. Despite so many hardships, he has faced and how he has come up, he is truly a motivational personality for many.

Expansion of Piramal group

Post staying under the radar for a while, the company made a full-throttle comeback with a range of JV’s, Acquisitions, or for that matter a range of new development. This was done to strengthen and widen their presence even more, over the next decade. Some of these included -
