Tycoon Insights: Could you tell about the beginning of your company?

What inspired you to start it?

My entrepreneurial journey started with a personal experience. While facing challenges in technical hiring for my internal requirements, I realized the need for a more efficient solution. This motivated me to consider setting up an organization that could streamline the entire hiring process, from resume management to selection. The idea for ITCONS came into inception in 2007, driven by my desire to create a company that could provide comprehensive HR solutions and a better experience for both businesses and individuals. Initially my company focused on IT companies for manpower solutions but today it has moved beyond IT to 10 other sectors and is creating ripples in the market. The organization is providing staffing solution for both blue and white-collar profiles, both in private and government sectors.

Tycoon Insights: How have you maintained a balance between your personal and professional life?

Friends and followers respectfully and lovingly call me as ‘The Versatile Monk’ with a reasonably successful career as an entrepreneur, as an Astro Numerologist, as a Philanthropist running pre-school and day-care centres, as an Investor, as a doctor of Ayurveda and as a Vaastu Specialist. On one hand I, with God’s Grace, learnt art of time management which helped me to acquire various skills and knowledge and to deploy them for the benefit of people at large and in professional life. My nature and nurture helped me to always keep my foot on the ground despite getting success and recognition in all my chosen areas of expertise. Keeping a balance between personal, professional and family life is the key to happiness and fulfilment. In my humble opinion, one should not only balance professional and family life but should manage time for personal endeavours too, which could be enhancing knowledge, skills, spiritual learning, spending time with friends or hobbies.

Tycoon Insights: How is your journey of struggle unique from others?

I consider myself lucky that I was able to convert my ‘dreams to reality’ and build up a wining team. The journey certainly was not easy, especially when I was not from a business family background. Leaving a lucrative high-profile career in IT field, two decades backs was not a welcome step and raised various eyebrows and many near and dear ones dissuaded me to change my decision. They say ‘When the going gets tough, the tough gets going’, my conviction, perseverance and pursuance helped me to overcome the challenges of managing cashflows compliances, retention cashflow, etc... Etc. All these were new to me as a technical person who was getting a fat package end of the month. The journey was tough and unique in many ways but enjoyable as every step I took was towards my own vision and ‘The baby was mine’.

Tycoon Insights: What types of clients do you deal with? Are there any notable clients or sectors you’d like to mention?

We have clients in various industries, including IT, education, retail, logistics, defense, NBFC, engineering/construction, healthcare, telecom, government, and F&B/hospitality. We deal with both large multinational corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. Some notable clients include Wipro, HCL Tech, TVS Electronics, LTI Mindtree, Agile Tech, Karvy, E-Comm Express, Swiggy, ZYPP, Max Life, HDB Financial Services, Paytm, Phone Pe, Adani, Indian Army, and more.

Tycoon Insights: How do you stay ahead of ever-changing market trends?

I believe innovation, continuous vigil and continuous learning are three pillars of success and will eventually keep you ahead of changing market trends. We, at ITCONS keep an agile organizational structure and have a culture of self-learning and knowledge sharing. Right use of technology helps in this process in a big manner by speeding-up the process.

We can adapt to changes and maintain an edge by remaining updated on industry trends, market dynamics, and the latest technologies. We participate in industry events, attend webinars, and converse with thought leaders to stay informed. We encourage fast decision making rather than waiting for the ideal solution. A culture that mistakes will happen, one has to learn fast and move on, helps in gaining leadership position in my opinion.

Tycoon Insights: Do you think research and development are important for your company’s growth?

Yes, Research and Development (R&D) is very important for the growth of ITCONS e-Solutions Limited. R&D lets us innovate, improve our services, and enhance operational efficiency. We can stay competitive in this quickly growing staffing and recruitment industry and provide incredible value to our clients by investing in R&D.

Tycoon Insights: How important is employee satisfaction to you, and how do you ensure it in your organization?

Employee satisfaction is crucial for the success of ITCONS e-Solutions Limited. We have open communication, recognition, rewards, work-life balance, and a positive company culture to make sure that our employees feel valued, supported, and motivated. We aim to create a high-performing and engaged team by creating a positive work environment.

Tycoon Insights: Who do you look up to in your field?

What advice would you offer those who look up to you?

I draw inspiration from several leaders in my field, including visionary entrepreneurs, industry pioneers, and philanthropic leaders. Their dedication, innovation, and commitment to making a positive impact have significantly influenced my approach to leadership and business.

To those who follow my path, I offer this: never stop learning, embrace innovation, build a strong and collaborative team, use your success to give back and remember to find balance. These are the keys to achieving lasting success and making a positive impact on the world.

Tycoon Insights: What are your thoughts on the role of leaders in the entrepreneurial world today?

In today’s entrepreneurial world, leaders play a pivotal role in driving innovation, fostering growth, and inspiring teams. Effective leaders possess a unique blend of vision, resilience, adaptability, and empathy that enables them to navigate the complexities of the business landscape.

As a leader, I believe in the power of creating a positive and empowering work environment. By fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and open communication, I strive to inspire my team to reach their full potential. Additionally, I emphasize the importance

of continuous learning and development, empowering my team to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the ever-evolving business landscape.

Furthermore, I firmly believe that a leader’s responsibility extends beyond the company’s bottom line. By giving back to the community and supporting social causes, we can create a positive impact on society and contribute to a better future for all.

Tycoon Insights: What message would you give to leaders who might be considering giving up on their dreams due to stereotypes?

As a leader, I would urge those facing stereotypes to persevere in pursuing their dreams. Stereotypes are limiting beliefs that can hold individuals back. It’s important to remember that history is often shaped by those who dared to deviate from the norm. By following your passion and remaining persistent, you can break free from these constraints and create your unique path to success.

Tycoon Insights: What are the plans or upcoming projects for your company?

As the CEO of ITCONS e-Solutions, I’m excited about our company’s ambitious plans for the future. We’re committed to expanding our reach and diversifying our service offerings. One of our key initiatives is to venture into the green energy sector. We endeavour to explore opportunities in solar power generation, solar panel manufacturing, and electric vehicle servicing.

Additionally, we’re open to consider inorganic growth opportunities through strategic acquisitions.

Today, 18 months ahead of the IPO, we have given more than 1000% return to our investors. ITCONS has become a leading player in the staffing and recruitment industry, renowned for its expertise and exceptional service delivery, catering to all levels of hierarchy from blue to white collar, across ten plus industry verticals.

Our rapid growth has seen us expand operations and diversify our offerings. Client satisfaction is a cornerstone of our success, leading to long-term partnerships and a positive reputation. We’ve embraced technology and innovation to streamline processes and provide cuttingedge solutions.

Moreover, our philanthropic initiatives have made a positive impact on the community. These achievements are a testament to our team’s hard work, dedication, and innovative spirit. I’m excited to continue building on our success and driving ITCONS toward even greater heights.

Tycoon Insights: Finally, is there a message you would like to share with the readers of Tycoon Insights?

Being a Tycoon Insights reader, I believe you already carry an important trait of success as professional or as an entrepreneur, which is continuous learning from experiences of others. Getting new ideas needs continuous triggers which magazines like Tycoon Insights can also give as they cover a wider horizon and prevent your vision to become myopic.

How Cloud-Based Solutions Revolutionize Your Business Operations

In the fast-paced world of modern business, staying ahead of the curve is essential. One way that companies are achieving this is through the adoption of cloudbased solutions. These innovative technologies are transforming the way businesses operate, providing greater flexibility, scalability, and efficiency than ever before.

Understanding Cloud-Based Solutions

Before diving into the benefits of cloud-based solutions, it’s important to understand what they are. Simply put, cloudbased solutions refer to software and services that are hosted on remote servers and accessed over the internet. This means that instead of relying on traditional on-premises infrastructure, businesses can leverage the power of the cloud to store data, run applications, and more.

Flexibility and Scalability

One of the key advantages of cloud-based solutions is their flexibility and scalability. Unlike traditional IT infrastructure, which often requires significant upfront investment and is difficult to scale, cloud solutions offer a pay-as-you-go model. This means that businesses can easily scale their resources up or down as needed, without the need for costly hardware upgrades or lengthy deployment times.

Enhanced Collaboration

Another benefit of cloud-based solutions is their ability to facilitate collaboration among teams. With cloud-based tools such as collaboration platforms and file-sharing services, employees can work together seamlessly, regardless of their location. This not only improves productivity but also enables businesses to tap into a global talent pool and operate more efficiently across multiple time zones.

Increased Security

Contrary to common misconceptions, cloud-based solutions can actually enhance security for businesses. Cloud providers invest heavily in state-of-the-art security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and regular security audits, to protect their customers’ data. In many cases, this level of security far exceeds what individual businesses could achieve on their own, making the cloud a safe and reliable option for storing sensitive information.

Cost Savings

In addition to the operational benefits, cloud-based solutions can also lead to significant cost savings for businesses. By eliminating the need for on-premises hardware and maintenance, businesses can reduce their IT expenses and reallocate resources to other areas of the organization. Furthermore, the pay-as-you-go pricing model of cloud services means that businesses only pay for what they use, avoiding wasted spending on unused capacity.

Improved Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery is a critical aspect of business continuity, and cloud-based solutions excel in this area. By replicating data and applications across multiple geographically dispersed data centers, cloud providers can ensure that businesses can quickly recover from outages or disasters with minimal downtime. This level of redundancy and resilience is often prohibitively expensive to achieve with on-premises infrastructure, making the cloud an attractive option for businesses of all sizes.

Conclusion

In conclusion, cloud-based solutions offer a myriad of benefits that can revolutionize the way businesses operate. From increased flexibility and scalability to enhanced collaboration and security, the cloud provides a powerful platform for driving innovation and growth. By embracing cloud technologies, businesses can streamline their operations, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition in today’s fast-paced digital economy.

Illustrious Future Outlook

MR. PRATAP MENDONCA

Bringing Needed Change in The Interior Design and Fit out Industry

MR. PRATAP MENDONCA MANAGING PARTNER

One of the best firms of its kind, Design Infinity LLC, operates out of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The firm was founded in 2012 and offered comprehensive turnkey solutions and highend interior services for commercial workplaces in various industries. The firm is run by highly skilled interior designers and architects from Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Large-scale design and fit-out projects are the company’s forte. They have a proven track record of success throughout the United Arab Emirates thanks to their 650+ strong workforce. The firm has had tremendous year-over-year development since its inception in 2012, and its staff comprises interior professionals and in-house MEP and IT experts. The business also has a large joinery factory that covers more than 60,000 square feet, along with separate divisions for glass and metal works.

In 2012 July, along with my wife Scytle Fernandes (Architect) and Geetha Nayak (Architec) founded Design Infinity. Since its inception, the company has grown from 2 persons to team of 650 plus and has completed over 600 projects across UAE.

Challenges Facing the Leader

Mr. Pratap tackles several daily challenges as a team leader of 650 individuals and a US$ 100 million annual revenues. In his mind, it’s all in a day’s work, so he takes things as they come. Mr. Pratap works roughly 12 plus hours a day during the week. He then spends his time outside the workplace playing with his children, Siana (15) and Sinon (11), and taking walks with his wife, Scytle. Each weekend, he makes time to hang out with his loved ones. Competition for leadership positions is prevalent. Building a more significant business is fantastic, but keeping that expansion going is difficult. The “It’s Okay” mentality has to be more practical and palatable. Microsoft’s Bill Gates, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Virgin Group’s Sir Richard Branson, Tata Group’s Ratan Tata, Tesla’s Elon Musk, Wipro’s Azeem Premji and Ali Baba’s Jack Ma are just a few of the world’s most successful business Mr. Pratap looks up to.

Pacing With the Market Trends

It is a corporation that can quickly shift gears and adjust to new situations. COVID-19 saw no layoffs at the firm, which managed to stay afloat by accepting competitive priced contracts. It studies market tendencies, and eventually adopt them. Every aspect of the business, from operations to strategic planning, is scrutinized by Design Infinity to find ways to improve for the future. The organization also takes the time to reflect on and learn from its missteps.

Contentment Among Employees

To the firm, it is critical that all team members are happy in their jobs. A happy and upbeat atmosphere at work is emphasized. Some measures employed toward this END GOAL include monthly team gatherings, team-building exercises, and birthday celebration. The company has a world-class infrastructure when it comes to the relationship between the firm and its team members. The keys to success are an uninhibited work environment and open communication.

Team members at Design Infinity deserve most of the credit for the company’s success. All team members are adequately paid, thanks to the performance management system. In addition, each team member receives a bonus equal to one month’s pay once a year. Consistent with its core values, the company strives for operational excellence, innovation, and the development of its team members.

Impacting Businesses with the Revolutionary Concept of Comprehensive Human Experience

Mr. Ronak Daga Founder | CEO | Managing Director

Being a corporate leader in today’s world is full of new chapters, challenging circumstances, trailblazing leadership, moments of breakdown, and a lot more! Keeping that as our motivation for the day, the Tycoon Insights team has brought yet another inspiring story of a young, thriving, and exemplary entrepreneur Mr. Ronak Daga: Founder, CEO, and Managing Director of Red Baton. He wishes to take his company to meritorious heights of success. His brand Red Baton is emerging as a magnificent market leader in the domain of “Holistic Human Experience”. The team of Red Baton works relentlessly in designing brands and curating user experiences that exhibit continuous growth. There is more to unveil about the creativity and innovation of Red Baton which we are about to do so. Let’s see what all Mr. Ronak Daga has to share about his entrepreneurial journey and success story.

The Motivation Behind Company’s Inception

Mr. Ronak Daga: During my college days, I started working on my college festival posters, videos, and websites that got me interested in the field of design. I started my first company in college, where my friend and I came up with the idea of designing notebooks for other brands and introducing Ads in them to generate more revenue for the manufacturers and improve the quality of the product. We sold over 2 million notebooks and got featured in multiple places. After relocating to Bangalore, I tried a couple of

things only to realize that User Experience is where my heart lies. I wanted to build something great in the field of User Experience, and eventually, that transformed into a holistic Human Experience Company. That’s where we’re at!

Facing Challenges with Robust Audacity

Mr. Ronak Daga: With zero money in hand, starting a company and quitting a full-time, high-paying job was difficult. I kept saving money I made from my night job and freelance work to ensure that I utilize it for Red Baton’s future. Also, I was 23 when I started, and it was difficult to make decisions without any guidance. Getting our first retainer customers who would work with us month-on-month was another challenge. One-time projects were not enough for us, and there were times when I did not have money for food or to pay our house rent.

Defining Market Trust and Establishing the Mark

Mr. Ronak Daga: There are a few parameters we consider as a sign of trust. Delivering high-quality work and value every time, delivering on time, and ensuring we understand our customers’ business goals and build value for them. We are unique as we provide a complete Human Experience and consult around product road-mapping, design, research, and engineering execution, keeping in mind that we have the business goals and ROI aligned with the work we deliver.”

As the space gets crowded, clients have doubts about various service companies based on their prior experience. In our domain, consumers start trusting the brand post working with them on projects. When starting, they do look at the kind of projects delivered; brands worked with, awards won, etc.

Serving Customers with Authenticity and Perseverance

Mr. Ronak Daga: We focus on high standards and quality of work, with on-time delivery. We work as product consultants rather than a service company. Our consultative approach to delivery and our work is what wins over customers. There are a few parameters that we use to segregate our potential clients. Product ideas that they are trying to build, we like solving interesting problems.

• Award-winning solutions and a partnership rather than being a vendor.

• If it can add value to our portfolio and the customer.

• If the product or the business will survive in the longer run.

We generally try to take a testimonial from our customers and an NPS score (Net Promoter score) to measure the scale of customer trust. Also, we look at if the customer is giving us a referral or not. If the customer is giving us a new brand to work with, it is a huge demarcation of trust. When customers come to us, they look at the reliability and work quality that connects with people across the globe. Whether they come to us with an idea or want us to overhaul the product, they trust us like consultants rather than an IT company.

Introducing New Paradigms in the UX Industry

Mr. Ronak Daga: We have always tried to work a little more horizontally to complete our offerings, enabling us to offer our vision of a “Holistic Human Experience”. To deliver a comprehensive holistic experience, we have invested a lot more in our research division. We have also increased our brand team, which essentially increases our scale on the brand positioning, identity, and marketing front. Most importantly, we have scaled our engineering team; now we can start from market research to Brand Identity and product design to engineering and from launch to the growth of the product. We’re also trying to bring in a few levers to ensure that this holistic circle is being met and customers derive maximum value from our services. This year, we are going international. We are opening a center in the US and many centers across India. We are also trying to integrate many niche skills like creative developers, NLP, data scientists, and more. We are investing heavily in our research department and building internal IPs, which will enable us to become a market leader.

Dedication Speaking for Success

Mr. Ronak Daga: During the initial phases of our journey we didn’t perform any marketing or sales. Our business leads came from customer referrals and word of mouth. The trust our customers had in our services motivated us to deliver services par excellence. Well, that was the only way of stamping our name in the UX industry. The clientele comes to us with a demand for reliable and gilt-edge services that can connect with people across the globe. Whether they have the idea in their minds or want us to take command, clients trust us like consultants rather than an IT company

Professional and Personal Milestones for Future

Mr. Ronak Daga: From a personal point of view, I aspire to be a better leader. I want to lead teams better, and I want to align people better. I always ensure that people around me grow along with me. I have also started investing in interesting business ideas. From a business perspective, I want Red Baton to become one of the market leaders in the space of Human experience. I think we’re reaching the scale where we start competing with our leaders and inspiration that we used to look up to.

Enlightening the Readers with Motivation

Mr. Ronak Daga: As an entrepreneur, there are three things that I would like to convey to all the young entrepreneurs and readers reading this,

• Start younger, fail faster. So that you still have time to try something else.

• Learn to let go. Acknowledge the fact that something is not working out for you.

• Consistency! Keep trying and be consistent in what you do.

Unpacking the Impact of Global Supply Chain Disruptions on Shipping

In recent years, global supply chain disruptions have become a hot topic, especially within the shipping industry. Whether caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, or natural disasters, these disruptions have had a far-reaching impact on the movement of goods across the world. As the backbone of global trade, shipping is particularly vulnerable to these disturbances. Let’s dive into the key factors behind these disruptions and explore how they affect the shipping industry.

The Role of Shipping in the Global Supply Chain

Before we discuss disruptions, it’s essential to understand the vital role shipping plays in the global supply chain. Shipping is responsible for transporting more than 80% of world trade. From raw materials to finished goods, almost every industry relies on maritime transport. Any delay, shortage, or disruption in shipping can ripple across sectors, leading to delayed deliveries, product shortages, and higher costs.

Key Causes of Global Supply Chain Disruptions

1. COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains on a scale previously unimaginable. With lockdowns, border restrictions, and labor shortages, the shipping industry faced enormous challenges. Many ports were shut down, and ships were stuck at sea, causing a significant backlog in deliveries. The effects are still being felt, as the global supply chain struggles to recover from the pandemic-induced shock.

2. Geopolitical Tensions

Geopolitical tensions like trade wars, sanctions, and conflicts can also have a direct impact on the shipping industry. For instance, the ongoing trade disputes between major economies, such as the U.S. and China, have led to delays in shipping routes and changes in supply chain strategies. Political instability in key shipping regions also adds to uncertainty, leading to increased freight costs and delays.

3. Natural Disasters

Natural disasters, from hurricanes to earthquakes, can disrupt the global supply chain by damaging infrastructure, causing delays, or rerouting ships. Events like these put a strain on the shipping industry, causing significant financial losses and

delaying the movement of essential goods. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of these natural events, adding to the challenge.

Effects on Shipping Costs

One of the immediate effects of supply chain disruptions is the increase in shipping costs. When routes are blocked or ships are delayed, companies face higher expenses. This is passed down to consumers, leading to inflation in the cost of goods. The lack of available shipping containers during the pandemic is a prime example of how supply chain disruptions can cause freight costs to skyrocket.

Delays and Bottlenecks

With ports congested and ships queuing for days to unload, delays and bottlenecks have become the new norm in the shipping industry. These bottlenecks not only slow down deliveries but also create supply shortages, as goods are stuck in transit. This has a domino effect, affecting production schedules, inventory levels, and ultimately, the consumer market.

The Role of Technology in Mitigating Disruptions

While supply chain disruptions pose serious challenges, technology offers some solutions. Companies are now using AI-driven logistics platforms and blockchain to improve transparency and efficiency in the shipping process. These technologies can help identify potential issues early, optimize routes, and provide real-time updates, which can reduce the impact of disruptions.

Conclusion

The impact of global supply chain disruptions on shipping is undeniable. As the world becomes more interconnected, any disturbance in the supply chain can have far-reaching effects on shipping and global trade. While the causes of these disruptions are varied—from pandemics to geopolitics and natural disasters—understanding them is key to developing strategies to mitigate their impact. Moving forward, investments in technology and flexibility within the shipping industry will be crucial to weathering future challenges.
