ooking Ahead to a Year of Success and Growth!

With pandemic that brought the whole world to a standstill, 2021 has been a year of hope and new opportunities for many people. With their unending zeal, they showed us how strong is humanity, how we can rise up together and start running the machine again.

Our special issue of The Enterprise World’s Hall of Fame, we bring to you the stories of companies that have shown everyone how to run organizations in the hardest of the times.

They have shown us that it is when challenges weigh you down, that is the best way ever to spring back up, strongly than ever!

It is something like it with the challenges we face. It is very easy to put our heads down and look at all the negatives that could happen. At times such, it gets hard to focus on the positive aspects of life, it becomes hard to believe the fact that good things are happening, if only we remain patient.

These companies have shown us what hope looks like. Even when times got hard, when it became hard to focus on what was good, the leaders suited up for the day, each day and presented to us with their amazing stories of success.

To put it in different words, success sounds nothing like hard work, but hard work does have a ring of success to it! So here we are, appreciating all those people who never gave up and gave our millennials to look up to something.

Cheers to a new year of success and growth!

SBL was the first company to explore rural BPO opportunities in Indian villages. The concept was to provide employment to the rural youth and women and make the villages self-sufficient.

It has changed the way of functioning of the law-making bodies by introducing a paperless digital process for higher efficiency and better time management.

The solution eliminates paper usage, saves trees, reduces the carbon footprint, increases the oxygen in the air, and conserves gallons of water.

“It is an honour to be a pioneer in providing a solution that can transform the functioning of the world parliaments and establish green governance.”

“The concept was new in India and we had to take the digital platform to a large section of lawmakers who were not techsavvy. Many had crossed 80 years and were beyond adapting to technology.

Winning their confidence and training them to use the digital platform was challenging. I am delighted to say that our efforts paid off and the members of the legislative bodies are using the eParliament solution and enjoying the benefits of efficiency and time management.”

He further adds that their teamwork, dedication, and commitment to supporting the client's business during the COVID-19 lockdown were appreciated and the SBL team supported the clients without any hindrances and maintained the SLA commitments.

DN, software-defined networking is the best solution that can cater to the network needs of businesses. An SDN solution makes enterprise networking agile, responsive and effectively support the demands of today's productivity needs.

Bangalore, India based company Lavelle Networks is one of the top names in the network landscape that is accelerating the digital revolution around the world. Within a span of 5 years, their flagship product line “ScaleAOn” has become the choice of leading Indian enterprises using SDN technologies.

Shyamal Kumar, Karthik Madhava, and Vishal Khare came together to drive this innovative journey, along with a committed team of engineers who wrote the first lines of code and are still building the company.

The company began in 2015, in a café on Lavelle Road, Bangalore, and thus the name Lavelle Networks. With a business presence in India, Singapore, Middle East, and North America, Lavelle Networks have developed quickly to turn into a trusted network partner for clients rushing towards the cloud and advanced digital change.

Today, Lavelle Networks is the fastestgrowing software-defined networking start-up in Asia, with more than 75 enterprise customers, and over 10,000 places of businesses connected across multiple regions of the world. The company's vision is to provide the best network experience to its customers across all their cloud applications.

It took them a couple of years to bring all the right talent, skill, and committed folks into the leadership of the company. The other challenge was to convince customers that they have a long term vision for the market and their future, since they are building

20

January 2022

core IT infrastructure products, and customers want to believe that the Lavelle team is there for the long haul.

Getting the first 5 customers in 2016 triggered the growth of Lavelle Networks. Every technology business is fuelled by a growing customer base as its fulcrum of success.

“We are always laser-focused on acquiring more and more customers, and increasing product usage every day. Once we had signed up the first five customers and broke into our first revenue quarter, there was no looking back.”

A business is only as successful as the customers it serves. Focusing on what the customers need to be successful is now more important than ever. The next thing is to be as cloud-ready and digital-first as possible, any company that still has manual workflows is going to find it hard to move ahead.

Pay extra attention to your people as everyone is going through a survival phase, and be sensitive to the fact the business metrics need to be secondary, and ensuring we make it through this universally trying times is the primary metric.

The biggest change is in sheer product usage and customer adoption. Lavelle networks have grown 300% year on year, in terms of revenue, market share, product instances, and several customers.

Team Lavelle says, “Starting from scratch, we broke into a market dominated by large incumbent players, and created a 30% market share in terms of deployed software instances.

The company's rollout of the first 1000+ network on its ScaleAOn platform in 2017 is a key memory that is special. With a team of fewer than 30

people they delivered on a massive project, considering the technology was brand new. This was India's 2nd largest fashion retail chain at that time.

Lavelle Networks focuses on networking software delivered from the cloud as-a-service, with a focus on network performance, security, and management. The company's solutions are different from others in the market because they focus on the performance of the application, rather than on just network metrics.

The company develops a verticalized approach to applications like Microsoft Office 365, or SAP, or other major cloud platforms. Customers care only about applications – not about compute, network, or storage directly.

Lavelle Networks has hardware, software, and a mature suite of network services for customers including bandwidth aggregation, cloud-based network monitoring centres, and a network helpdesk.

Team Lavelle stays close to market inflection points like hybrid cloud usage, BYOD, SASE and build that into our agile and evolving roadmap.

LAVELLE NETWORKS Connecting Better For The Brighter Future

“We also believe that

the challenges faced by our customer's in-network access are what we should focus on, instead of looking at solutions that we might be excited to build but might not be the pressing problems for our customers.

Currently, they are providing long term multi-bagger stock picks. The company focuses mainly on quality small-cap ideas. The company is different in the way that it substantiates its past performance with original Facebook posts

Multibagger Securities Research & Advisory Pvt. ltd was incorporated in Feb 2017 to bring quality in the equity research and advisory field. It is a SEBI Registered and ISO 9001 Registered Investment Company incorporated mainly for quality research & advisory in Indian equity markets with a special focus on identifying Multibagger Stocks. After its inception, the company is growing very well and has both domestic and international clients.

The most important task and challenge they faced, in the beginning, was to change the mind-set of investors from gambling to investing. The majority of investors were looking towards the stock market as a casino and most of them were engaged in short term trading to make quick money.

Multibagger tried and succeeded in educating investors that stock investing is a science and we should take a stock investing as a business instead of treating it as a gamble.

And after all this, there comes a point in the organization, when you start seeing steady growth. For Multibagger, it didn't take a lot of time as their trustworthy services, hard and smart work paid off soon.

We just kept focusing on quality equity research and then client satisfaction leads to word of mouth publicity for us.”

The team of experienced professionals at Multibagger aims to make this company a one-stop solution for many financial services. They are planning to launch PMS services in near future and after that, they will foray into other areas of capital markets also.

Currently, the company offers one kind of long term investing plan. Soon they are planning to announce a plethora of comprehensive services at the right time.

The unmatched leadership at Multibagger believes that a happy mind is more productive and efficient.

So they focus on providing a good quality of life to employees and give them a good working environment to bring the best out of them. They offer the work from home facility also if required.

“The thing which makes my team unique is that I choose a person who has a passion for research and investing. So they enjoy their work and this increase their efficiency and success ratio”, Manish commented.

Mr. Manish Goyal, CEO at Multibagger is a chartered accountant from 2004 batch and he did his BCOM (Hons) from Delhi University.

When we asked him about his achievements he said, “Most important achievement I think I got is making wealth for my friends and clients. In addition to that, I am granted exclusive rights to using the word 'Multibagger' by the government of India” Manish says, “Stock market has changed a lot in last 15-20 years. A lot of new regulations and checks & balances are brought in by SEBI to protect the interest of investors. Retail investors also have become more intelligent with time” He says he admires Warren Buffett a lot and the business story of most innovative businessman Elon Musk's journey inspires him a lot.

Sharing his views on constant vigilance he says, “I think constant vigilance is a need because in the last few years many well-known companies have nosedived due to corporate governance issues. An investor should be vigilant towards new developments taking place in company, industry, and economy.”

M

allika Bajaj and her companies, Little Yellow Beetle, Apna Dr, and Ballistic Learning a Moodle Partner have been one of the pioneers in the Media & Communication, Innovation, Sustainability in the Technology industry, providing a plethora of unique products/services with varied approaches that command their client's high satisfaction ratings but also their utmost respect and loyalty towards them.

Founder & CEO

24

January 2022

However, this story is not about Little Yellow Beetle, Apna Dr, or Ballistic Learning – it's about celebrating the inspiring stories of one of the most dynamic, internationally awarded women business leaders, Mallika Bajaj.

Mallika Bajaj has always been a media person by training and profession, living and working in one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, India. From the beginning of her formative years, her interest lied in the interplay of media, technology, and society. However, her assignments challenged her to delve deeper into the people she met, and understand what made them – them.

Mallika Bajaj's association with people with next-to-no access to information and technology showed her that such people didn't just exist in history — they live and breathe around us. It showed her the two nations were living in one country, and one of them needed a voice that she decided to become.

These repercussions were courtesy the same – basic human right/ necessity, or platforms enabling a voice and she started working on how she could contribute and give back to society.

“If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.”

As with all start-ups and companies, setting them up is easy but keeping them afloat is the bigger question and hurdle, and along the way, an entrepreneur faces varieties of challenges and hurdles, which not only test their resilience but also the overall capability and mettle of an entrepreneur and the mammoth task that Mallika Bajaj has been navigating through has been the need to juggle the manifold growth within new media and the dearth of knowledge, and its comprehension.

Little Yellow Beetle and its team, believe and function by ideating and designing. All their clients need to do is provide them with any of the one – an idea, product, skill training, person, brand, furniture, automobile, sports academy, rockets, rice, healthcare, hats, mugs, real estate, robots, wedding cards, anything – and they will construct it for you. Once the design is done, they digitize it for the world to consume. Their other services include

This farsightedness not only helps them stand out but also provides a notch above the competition in the market and helps in lifting the Media & Communication industry as a whole.

Little Yellow Beetle believes and works diligently towards learning, growing and maturing, every single day. They are now imparting training on newer trends for consuming content, skill training, and how to supply large-scale content to help the masses self-learn, self-skill, and sustainably grow in their genres.

Mallika Bajaj has always vouched by the principle that it would take a concoction of hard work and the brightest, truly extraordinary designers, developers, innovators with exceptional intellect, passion, and creativity to come up with newer, even better ideas to succeed, around the clock.

What she didn't recognize when she set foot in the industry was perhaps the incredible power of faith – faith in the timing of things, in the universe, and most importantly in herself.

Mallika Bajaj strongly feels and remarks that one of the key achievements of her entrepreneurial journey is her team. Starting from nudging her sister to drop her dream job, her mother to forgo her successful teaching career, spanning two decades, right down to the people they have hired, whom today they call their family – they're her key achievements and buttress in running their business ventures.

O

nline games are pretty popular among the youth these days, and why not? For the graphics and everything, they become too hard to miss. Fun and games are on one side, but what is even more interesting is that online gaming has also established itself as a prominent growth sector in the current and the global economy as well!

Now, who would have thought about that? In fact, in the past few years, its growth has been increasing widely, owing to the evolution of mobile platforms in the gaming sector.

This evolution has thus added diversity and flexibility for the players across the globe.

Here are a few facts about online gaming you don't want to miss.

Grand Theft Auto V The Grand Theft Auto V games series is probably one of the most loved games in the world. What you did not know was the fact that GTA V is the most expensive game ever made!

It cost approximately $137 million to just build the game, and about $128 million more for its marketing, making it one of the most expensive games ever made. Rockstar North, the developer of the game earned over $1 billion just in its initial 3 days!

Isn't that baffling?

Next in line with the most expensive game is 'Call of Duty: Modern War Far 2' which cost around $250 million overall including the development and the marketing.

South Korea Had Once Banned Midnight Gaming Because of the excessive gaming of South Korean children, the country had once passed a law popularly called the 'Cinderella Law'.

According to this law, children under the age of 16 were not to play online video games after midnight (from 12 AM to 6 AM).

Although the law did not affect mobiles and gaming consoles,

26

January 2022

the children just couldn't resist playing the games and thus began stealing resident registration numbers so that they could elude the law. This is an important fact in the list of facts about online gaming.

So much for the online video games!

VPN Making Online Games Better In recent years, the Virtual Private Network or the VPN has been giving the players so much more benefits that it has now become a necessity.

The VPN simply allows the players to re-route their connection through a server in any country they want.

Now isn't that amazing? It makes the gameplay smoother. This is an important fact in the list of facts about online gaming.

Thus VPN allows early access to DLC and its updates with the players' security online.

VR Becoming the New Trend We have all known of Virtual Reality through sci-fi movies, but today it is not limited to just that. It has now become a part of our lives.

s COVID-19 has highlighted the need for innovation and adoption of technologies in the healthcare sector, businesses are in continuous search of a trustworthy data analytics solution provider that can accelerate their growth.

Analytical Wizards is one of the leading companies in the healthcare domain that is transmogrifying commercial analytics. Behind Analytical Wizards' long-standing success is a team of expert professionals led by Mr. Ram Sharma, CEO & Chairman at the company.

“To become a successful entrepreneur, one should inspire and support continuous innovation and growth.”

pharma companies, and 4 of the top 7 Biotechs.

With multiple awards and recognition, Analytical Wizards continue to add new clients and win new business.

Central to their growth is innovation by design, an iterative approach, a strong emphasis on customer delight, ensuring their knowledge grows within the advanced analytic space, mastering the latest algorithms emerging from scientific research and practice.

Like most companies, the pandemic arrived bringing a level of uncertainty as to its impact on business. Once companies grasped the impact of COVID-19 and how to navigate within the pandemic-controlled work environment, it brought to light the urgent need for agility, and flexibility.

Traditionally, pharmaceutical and biotech organizations have been hampered in their efforts to understand the patient journey, treatment continuum, or market dynamics by data assets that are aggregated and lack identifiers to allow cross-referencing. It required piecing together multiple analyses and reports.

Digital communications became critical to business continuity, and therefore increased the need for many of the solutions provided by Analytical Wizards.

The result has been business teams buried in high volumes of reports that deliver few insights, are out of date, and lack mutual consistency. The focus has been on descriptive analytics (understanding what happened historically) as opposed to prescriptive (recommending what a team should be doing) or predictive (what is likely to happen next).

“Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.”-

Established in 2015, Analytical Wizards was recognized by INC5000 in 2020 as being among the top 25% Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the US. The company is currently engaged by 3 of the top 5 pharma companies, 10 of the top 30 bio-

Today, across the industry, you can feel the revolution. Change is taking place and those that harness digital and technology innovations will be the most successful.

Steve Jobs Analytical Wizards has developed two customizable platform solutions, WIZ and IZE. These platforms provide a data-agnostic approach that allows for multiple and disparate data sets to be ingested quickly for advanced analytics application.

Across the healthcare and retail industries, commercial analytics steers business decision-making across sales, marketing, access, and pricing. The past two decades have witnessed firms, large and small, entrusting this critical function to technology outsourcing companies.

This has allowed firms to contain IT & Analytics expenditure but only at the cost of increased external dependencies. WIZ seeks to set in motion a reversal of this trend.

WIZ challenges the idea that marketers need to rely on an army of consultants to fulfil their need for analytical insights. Whether it is optimizing marketing investments across a portfolio of brands, customizing message content to induce higher rates of response, or testing a campaign to see whether it will fly, WIZ aims to put brand teams back in charge.

Analytical Wizards' products are designed to be flexible on the front end, while scalable at the back end, allowing for easy customization to meet client needs. They are constantly evolving their products to meet market demands.

“Technology enables real-time analytics and delivers three main competitive advantages” Data readiness for on-demand analytics which includes consolidation of big data (claims, EMR/HER, lab, etc.), promotional activity (marketing, salesforce, etc), descriptive data (segments, customer information, etc), and advanced analytics feedback (channel propensity, messaging impact, promotional cadence impact, etc.) into an analytics ecosystem that is well beyond a data repository.

ANALYTICAL WIZARDS Transforming Healthcare Analytics

Deploying platforms and analytic engines to drive advanced analytic scale. This is the natural next step to transition scheduled, point-intime analyses into real-time insights that shape marketing and sales initiatives. This allows for consistency of recurring analytics while freeing time from advanced analytics resources to solve new business needs.

Linking analytic outputs to CRM platforms to ensure Action ability.

Most companies are using static business rules for promotional delivery which are already dated by the time they are deployed.

However, data readiness, as well as scaling of advanced analytics, allows for real-time inputs on segmentation shifts, promotional impact, promotional affinity, messaging impact, and channel cadence & frequency. This information allows for true personalization of how we engage with the customers (HCPs, patients, caregivers, and pharmacists) along their journey.

KARAN YARAMADA Rethinking Business Models Amidst The Crisis

C

irca 2003, looking for a future in the hotbed of IT was not a great option, let alone building one. The valley was still recovering from the whiplash of the recession and though talent was at large, finding the right people was not the easiest. Businesses and investors were careful and naturally reluctant. But for our Visionary, it was as George Bernard Shaw said, “Don't wait for the right opportunity, create it.”

Karan Yaramada founded Jade Global in 2003 after having worked for about 11 years in the IT industry.

He discovered an opportunity in the market amidst the chaos, where the nature of IT services was becoming more global.

President & CEO, Jade Global

36

January 2022

Karan left his secured IT position, having worked with big names like KPMG, Tata Consultancy Services, and General Electric, this was one of the greatest risks he took at the peak of his career. It paid off and how. He landed himself the job of the first employee and CEO of Jade Global, working independently with no pay check for the first three months. Jade Global began as a small business that handled Oracle support services and upgrades projects.

For Jade Global being adaptable to change is imperative to remain relevant and innovative and in the IT industry Change is innovation. And their composure through the COVID-19 storm stands testimony to that. People at Jade Global attribute the stability to Karan's and the leadership team's nature and demeanour that safeguarded them emotionally. But being the leader Karan is, he fairly places the merit on them collectively.

“The people. I was fortunate to meet a lot of good people over on this journey.

I met people who had built their careers successfully in the same “There was an opportunity in the market industry and they influenced me to start an IT services company that had greatly. I am fortunate to work with the culture, competitive pricing, and teams who stand by me come what benefits of a boutique firm, but at the may. And of course, having customers same time could provide customers with who are trusting and willing to work large-scale IT projects”, says Karan. with us repeatedly has also helped!”

Karan observed a major shift in IT services and business. They were becoming more global,

The stage of ideation though came with study and research, was only the beginning of a not-so-smooth path.

Bootstrapped, bottom-up undertaking, Karan's first year with Jade Global was spent working simultaneously on three Oracle upgrade projects. His movement from a solo ship to one with others on board was a gradual one. As Jade Global grew, they expanded its offerings to include enterprise business application implementations, integrations, software product engineering, testing, support, Cloud services, and technology advisory, and managed services.

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

Jade Global embarked on another major expansion, physically. They opened a second US headquarter located on the East Coast in Philadelphia through acquisition. In 2019, Jade Global set up new entities in Toronto, Canada, and Vienna, Austria.

While many are harping on about the “digital transformation” wave, Jade Global has been living and realizing it for its clients. Jade Global has steered 2600+ technology projects across a range of industries. One of the company's mainstays is adaptation through digital synergies that are at the very root of all its processes.

Digitization is a way of life at Jade Global, which was in effect even before the pandemic hit and virtual offices came into being.

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

Karan beams.

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

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

The role of IT partners is rapidly changing with companies becoming more and more aware of how much they are spending, concurrently consuming technology at an unprecedented rate. And one of the things that CIOs are driving while innovating is cost optimization. In the face of this abundance and prudence, how does Jade Global bring in a differentiator to its customers?

In Karan's own words, in an exclusive ET Now interview, “In IT services it is difficult to differentiate the unique value we provide, but the Customer Experience that Jade Global offers remain unparalleled.” The company is known for having one of the highest customer retention rates in the industry.

We have been careful “ in selecting our customers

and partners. We have 1created a niche with Mid to Large companies with a focus on certain industries, where the CIOs are looking for a nimble (technology) partner to work with.

This is the space we fit in very well.

Why do organizations struggle when they grow?

Organizations lose 20 to 30 % revenue year on year due to operational inefficiencies. This slows them down and hamper their ability to grow and scale. Even if they achieve scale, often, they struggle to maintain the quality of their products or services.

Most of the organizations do not realize that their Back Office Operations are equally important as their Front End/ Revenue generating functions.

Change is inevitable. However, if the change is not managed well, it creates friction within the system and hinders smooth functioning. Culture of the Organization can be an enabler or barrier to an organization's growth but this is often an afterthought.

THE STARBUCKS

January 2022

S

tarbucks Corporation, based in Seattle, Washington, is an American global coffeehouse and roastery business. As of early 2020, the firm has over 30,000 outlets in 70 countries across the world.

This blog is a comprehensive examination of Starbucks’ marketing techniques, including their target market, social media strategy, marketing mix, digital marketing presence, campaigns, and marketing activities throughout the ongoing pandemic.

About Starbucks In the 1980s, all-out espresso offerings in the United States were on the decline. Strength espresso, on the other hand, grew in popularity and accounted for 10% of the market in 1989, compared to only 3% in 1983. By 1986, the group had six locations in Seattle and had only recently begun selling coffee. By 1989, Starbucks had 46 locations across the Northwest and Midwest, and each year it brewed more than 2,000,000 pounds (907,185 kg) of coffee. Starbucks had 140 locations with $73.5 million in revenue at the time of its first public offering (IPO) on the stock exchange in June 1992, up from $1.3 million in 1987.

At this stage, the organization’s fair market value was judged to be $271 million. The sale of a 12% stake in the company earned roughly $25 million for the company, resulting in a two-fold increase in the number of outlets over the next two years. Starbucks’ offer cost had risen by 70% to more than double times the income per component of the previous year by September 1992. In July 2013, over 10% of in-store purchases were made via the Starbucks app on customers’ phones.

Starbucks is ranked 132nd on the Fortune 500 list of the largest companies in the United States by revenue as of 2018. Starbucks said in July 2019 that their “monetary second-quarter total compensation of $1.37 billion, or $1.12 per share, up from $852.5 million, or 61 cents for each offer, a year earlier.” In the middle of 2019, the organization’s fair assessed worth of $110.2 billion increased by 41%. In the third quarter, earnings per share were 78 pennies, significantly more than the forecasted 72 cents.

Starbucks, as the world’s largest coffeehouse chain, is often regarded as the face of America’s second wave of coffee culture. Starbucks coffee houses serve: Ÿ

Hot and cold drinks

Ÿ

Evolution Fresh juices

Ÿ

Whole-bean coffee

Ÿ

Ÿ

La Boulange pastries

And also, some offerings that are seasonal or specific to the locality of the store.

Starbucks in India Starbucks was interested in entering the Indian market in the 2010s. By focusing on the specific upper-class demographic in India, the firm hoped to profit from the development of coffee culture.

Starbucks Corporation and Tata Coffee announced plans to launch Starbucks stores in India in January 2011. Despite a phony start in 2007, Starbucks said in January 2012 that it will form a 50:50 joint venture with Tata Global Beverages named Tata Starbucks Ltd., which would own and operate shops labelled “Starbucks, A Tata Alliance”. In 2007, Starbucks attempted to enter the Indian market. It did not, however, offer a rationale for the cancellation. Starbucks launched its first store in a long time on October 19, 2012, a 4,500-square-foot location at Horniman Circle, Mumbai. In 2013, Starbucks launched its first cooking and wrapping factory in Coorg, Karnataka, in order to service the company’s customers.

Tata in 2017-18, Starbucks added 25 locations, and in 201819, it plans to open 30. From June 2020, according to CEO Navin Gurnaney, Tata Starbucks will utilize solely biodegradable and recyclable wrapping materials across its entire shop network. On August 7, 2019, Starbucks announced its arrival in Gujarat. The next day, the group launched five outlets in Surat and Ahmedabad. The state's largest Starbucks location is in Prahlad Nagar, Ahmedabad, and it provides more vegan options than other Indian locations. In the 2019-20 fiscal year, Navin stated that the company will open more than 30 outlets, 11 of which have been opened.

Following the successful launch of their brand, the next critical stage in guaranteeing their long-term viability was to pinpoint their target demographic.

The Target Market of Starbucks Starbucks is a high-end coffee company with a clientele that is predominantly from the upper-middle and upper classes.

The brand is aimed at customers who desire a relaxing environment to consume coffee and unwind. These are primarily higher-wage professionals, company owners, or

48

January 2022

other high-end clientele between the ages of 22 and 50.

People who live fast-paced lives desire delicious coffee and a quiet place to unwind after a long day. Starbucks provides all of these benefits in one convenient location. Starbucks’ target demographic comprises both male and female consumers, with the majority of these customers falling within the 25-45 age bracket. Those who are mostly urban, health-conscious, and class-conscious consumers.

The target audience that Starbucks usually looks for are: Ÿ

Urban-ish, on the go

Ÿ

High-income spenders

Ÿ

Reaching Beyond the storefront

Ÿ

Health-conscious professionals

Ÿ

Technology early adopters

Ÿ

Flexible to change

The Marketing Strategies of Starbucks Starbucks’ first marketing strategy in India was to segregate customer segments based on socioeconomic status.

Working professionals and their demand for a relaxing environment are the focus of this project. Starbucks additionally separates its market based on geography and demographics by establishing locations that cater to the aforementioned target clientele. Most businesses start out in a new market by focusing on a particular section and then expand into other categories if they succeed. Starbucks followed suit, expanding its product line and social media marketing presence to target teens and young adults as well.

Pumpkin Spiced Latte and Frappuccino, where they share pertinent and relatable memes with their devoted fans.

User-generated content (UGC) plays a role here as well.

Consumer photographs of more Instagrammable items, like the Unicorn Frappuccino, are frequently chosen to be reshared via official channels and utilized in influencer marketing.

Starbucks Corporate Social Responsibility-Based Campaign Starbucks positions itself as open-minded and inclusive by using social change as a marketing strategy. The #ExtraShotOfPride campaign, which promotes the LGBT+ community, is one example.

This marketing mix has helped Starbucks to develop a unique market position for its products which has thereby differentiated the brand’s overall experience and has positioned itself as a highly reputed brand. This marketing mix strategy to target the modern and tech-savvy generation has thus helped in the growth of the use of digital technology as well as social media for promotions and customer engagement.

The Rapid Digital Expansion Amongst the several key priorities of Starbucks, expanding the brand’s digital reach to interact with its customers is of utmost importance. In order to keep up with the customers, it is implementing new ways to attract digitally registered customers beyond Starbucks’ rewards program. For instance, the coffee chain is offering mobile order services and leveraging Wi-Fi sign-ins at its brick-and-mortar stores.

Starbucks Social Media Strategy: Several people are aware and familiar with the social media pages of Starbucks. The company’s social media pages stand out amongst the rest because of their distinctive branding, interactive posts, and visually pleasing content. It also has a diverse range of content includes recipes, photography, articles, and features; however, this stream can be broken down into a sequence of campaigns pitched at creating a better sense of brand awareness and community.

Starbucks Product-based Marketing Campaigns: Starbucks promotes one-of-a-kind and fan-favorite drinks. The brand is well aware of how popular their flagship goods are, but more significantly, they are also aware that their target audience is hungry for this type of material. They've also built social pages for their most popular drinks, like

Community-Based Campaigns: Starbucks’ digital approach also places a premium on spotlighting individuals and communities. Consider the #RedCupArt campaign, which not only boosts interaction but also creates a library of usergenerated material. They localize the information by using narrative to demonstrate examples of bravery and charity in American neighborhoods. Starbucks makes a conscious attempt to humanize the firm by publishing tales on their Instagram account that emphasize the employees that play an important role, particularly when it comes to customer service. This sense of belonging also makes online coffee content sociable, just like they did when they effectively founded contemporary coffeehouse culture.

Festive Marketing: Starbucks has also launched a new seasonal whole-bean coffee, the #StarbucksDiwaliBlend, for customers in the United States and certain international markets. Hand-picked and obtained from Tata Estates in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the current exquisite mix is a must-try. Starbucks Diwali Blend pays homage to the region’s rich coffee legacy and skill. It created the #SketchTheBlend promotion, in which consumers could win 5 free drinks by sharing their creativity on the Diwali Blend cup and sleeve.

Let’s dive deeper and analyze their overall digital presence.

Digital Marketing Presence of Starbucks Starbucks recognizes that its customers are digitally savvy, making a solid digital marketing plan essential. Starbucks clearly favors marketing on platforms that allow for twoway contact over channels that only allow for one-way communication, such as print and television.

Instagram – 248K+ followers Facebook – 1.1M+ likes

www.theenterpriseworld.com

49

Twitter – 161K+ followers Starbucks updates its social media accounts on a regular basis and creates challenges and games to engage customers and grow its fan base.

The content and engagement are consistent across all platforms, and the company believes in providing an experience rather than merely a route for marketing.

The Marketing Strategy During Covid-19 We’ve all seen how quickly the Covid-19 outbreak spread over the world. Overnight, every business in the world was impacted. And they had to figure out how to stay afloat in these uncharted waters. The epidemic had a significant influence on the Indian market, but Starbucks was continually improving to lessen the economic impact. These were the actions performed by the coffee behemoth during the epidemic, demonstrating why it is the most valuable: The Expansion of Starbucks CEO Navin Gurnaney indicated that they will open drivethrus to encourage people to interact with them, as well as home deliveries to keep in touch with clients during the epidemic. The first drive-thru was at Ambala Chandigarh Expressway in Zirakpur. The company has launched its app as well—Starbucks India App so that customers can easily navigate and purchase their offerings.

Starbucks Social Media Campaigns #ReconnectWithStarbucks campaign: Starbucks’ social media campaign was launched in two stages. Customers were urged to submit their means of reconnecting despite the epidemic and their favorite Starbucks memory on their personal Instagram accounts with the hashtag #ReconnectWithStarbucks in the first phase. They encouraged their consumers to remark on their favorite beverage on the post in the second phase, “Half Cup Full.” They then sent these consumers audio memos with their favorite beverage and baristas yelling their names to remind them of the famed in-store experience. This was an excellent advertisement since it not only reminded consumers of their fond recollections of Starbucks, but it also made them feel good about themselves. #StarbucksAtHome and #StarbucksDance: Starbucks has launched a 1 liter of freshly brewed drinks that can be ordered through Swiggy and Zomato for takeout or delivery. Seven flavors were introduced, each costing

50

January 2022

Rs.550 per bottle. Starbucks announced the #StarbucksDance challenge to advertise the drink, asking consumers to film a dance video with the drink and post it to their personal accounts. They guaranteed the winner a year of free Starbucks.

Strategic Alliances to Enhance the Experience and Reach Signature Merchandise Launch with Flipkart: The epidemic changed people’s shopping habits and pushed them to buy locally produced goods rather than imported or foreign-made goods. Starbucks took advantage of this transition by teaming up with Flipkart to sell Starbucks Signature Merchandise on the online marketplace. Custom mugs, tumblers, cold cups, and other items were available. Customers will be able to order coffee-making equipment from the convenience of their own homes in the near future. Starbucks only had a presence in 12 cities; thus, this was a calculated effort to reach out to customers in their homes across India during the epidemic, taking advantage of the country’s growing reliance on E-Commerce.

Stand-up Comedy Festival: Starbucks has launched the #StarbucksComedyFestival, which will give select fortunate customers a free ticket to the comic festival. On the customer’s invoice, the fortunate codes would be present. Customers would be excited to shop m now that they have a prominent line-up of presenters including Sapan Verma, Azeem Banatwalla, and Rahul Subramanian.

Conclusion In summary, Starbucks is the market leader because of its dominant worldwide presence and leadership. Because of its intimate ambiance, inviting environment, and unrivaled service, a customer's experience at a Starbucks store is undoubtedly unlike any other coffee shop. Their welcoming “perfect coffee shop atmosphere” should be a long-term competitive advantage. Starbucks’ retail outlets and on-site collaborations have earned higher response rates, putting them in front of the pack in the mature business. As a result of its all-encompassing marketing approach, Starbucks enjoys a strong market position.

avigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) is the name of Indian GPS, which consists of Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) and GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN). Together, it consists of 11 satellites. It provides completely accurate information about 1500 kilometers from the borders across the country —it also has an extended service area which covers the equatorial region.

The 'NavIC' system launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been recognized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This recognition was received in November 2020. According to ISRO, the Maritime Safety Committee of IMO has given the green signal to NavIC to help it navigate the sea while meeting all operational needs. It is fully functional from June 2019 and has been approved by 3GPP for wider commercial adoption.

Elena Geo Systems, a leading navigation company is transforming Indian businesses by enabling them to use 'Atmanirbhar' navigation system through their highly innovative hardware, software, applications, and systems.

A visionary leader tracking the future, Lt Col V S Velan founded Elena Geo Systems in 2012. Today Elena Geo Systems truly dominates the industry with its position as a leader in geo navigation space. Their sole aim is to provide solutions that are unique, differentiated, and standing up to their legacy in the technology domain by offering new-age technology powered by and based on NavIC. Elena Geo Systems, as a space technology start-up founded in the Technology Business Incubator of IIT Kharagpur that later moved to

Bangalore in 2016 to expand further. It works only in the niche domain of NavIC-based monitoring solutions. It has an end-to-end presence in this domain with its own set of hardware, software, and systems all optimized for NavIC, the Indian GPS. Elena Geo Systems was incorporated in 2012 and today, has grown to be an Indian Company with a Global Outlook, focused on “Make in India”.

It remains the Indian leader by far when it comes to technology, innovation and implementation of cutting-edge technology-based tracking solutions. The company delivers to its clients, multiple benefits from its superior R & D infrastructure, deep domain knowledge and streamlined processes combined with speed of design and implementation at the best cost.

The scope of Elena's products encompasses applicability in Space, Maritime, and Ground-based Assets.

Elena is the only company as on date to have a NavIC processor working on L1, L5 and S bands on a commercial basis. Its B2D module has no equivalence internationally. Elena's niche line of indigenous products, allows it to provide quality articles to its prospective customers at reasonable cost. It has the best-suited solution for India and the Asian region.

Elena follows an integrated approach in that it uses satellites of India (NavIC), US (GPS), Russia (GLONASS), and other augmentation systems, to give the best possible solution to the users. Its systems can replace all existing navigation systems in the equatorial region and can enable much more new applications which were not possible till now. Elena Geo Systems is a specialist in NavIC; it is Of NavIC, By NavIC, and For NavIC. “GPS is in every field today. It is used

in almost all walks of life. We expect that NavIC which is suitable for the Indian region will get adapted similarly.”

The launching of Indian satellites and their stabilization from 2016 to 2018 triggered the growth of Elena. We were now having our satellites to use. The company could concentrate on the development of complete NavIC-based monitoring systems. Existing products in the GPS domain did not fulfill the requirements of the users. Elena developed its own set of hardware, software, and systems, all optimized for NavIC that made its end-to-end presence in this domain.

In the beginning, Elena was a technology start-up company, focusing on the development of products. Then, they gradually became innovators, providing monitoring solutions to the end-users through their innovation.

Today, Elena Geo Systems is a leader in NavIC-based monitoring solutions.

The company's vision of continuous innovation through R & D and dedicated focus in this domain are the reasons that have made Elena stand out among the rest. Innovation is one of their four pillars and is the core of the company's business model. Elena Geo Systems is focused only on this niche domain of NavIC based monitoring.

He left the job, forfeited salaries & perks as well, and worked out of a base with minimal essentialities to achieve his dream. He always works in a diversified manner that can initiate more possibilities for him and his team.
