DETOURS IN CAREER TRAJECTORY

the pre-opening project at Moscow, with PFRU university to establish the Institute of Oriental Medicines in 2013. While still contouring the world, his vision to serve his motherland- India was still kindling within him. His homecoming to India happened in 2014, with Hyatt Group and after 2 years of tasting a roaring success, he got a call from the founder president of IVAC group, for steering the business operations of this ‘hard-core authentic Ayurvedic brand.’

The zeal to ‘be different as well as do different’ ignited in him during his school days only. And it has been heavily reflected in his professional career as well. He started his journey as a courier boy for —Hotline courier, BB Ganguly Street, Kolkata for which he used to distribute door-to-door letters on the street of Salt lake of Kolkata. Later, his alignment for the human body in terms of mental, emotional & spiritual balance propelled him to enter the health and wellness industry.

He further added that with the support of good mentors and his curious & learning attitude, he ameliorated the skills by consistent practice and hard work.

SUCCESS STORY

Craig Federighi A key driving force behind

APPLE’S WHOPPING GROWTH Craig Federighi, also known as “Mr. Hair Force One himself”, oversees all major development, such as Mac, IOS, and IPadOS. He is positioned as Apple’s senior VP of software engineering. Craig carries an enthusiastic and funny nature, as we have seen his popular presentations at WWDC and other Apple Events. He has more stage time than others, including Tim Cook. In 2016, he reported, owning over 500,000 shares of Apple stock worth about US$180 million in 2020.

CRAIG FEDERIGHI Engineer

Away from the public functions, he is reportedly a great communicator in private. In 2013, the wall street journal said that Apple employees must consider him a responsive executive, someone who replies and reacts to internal emails. His profile has an impressive “rising star” reporting that he tries to build consensus within teams all across the company. EARLY LIFE Craig was born in 1969 in San Leandro, California. After holding an undergraduate degree from Acalanes High School in Lafayette, California, Craig attended the University, Of California, Berkeley, where he earned a bachelor’s degree from the electrical engineering and computer science branch. Also, he did his master in science stream from the same university. Craig got married in 2014. Now he has 4 children.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

In 1999, Craig quit Apple for corporate software company Ariba, where he was appointed as CTO (Chief Technology Officer). By the time in 2009, he left Ariba and returned to Apple to work on macOS. His first physical appearance was at the WWDC event to give, what Craig called a sneak peek of MacOS X Snow Leopard. In 2011, Craig Federighi succeeded Bertrand Serlet (Previous Vice President) as VP of Mac Software Engineering. In 2012, he was promoted as VP Of Mac software engineering at Apple.

CAREER Craig Federighi was working with Steve Jobs at NeXT, where he led the development of the Enterprise Objects Framework (EOF) – it was a software tool for large companies by letting their regular computers connect to the enterprise database. In 1996, Craig started working with Apple when it acquired NeXT. Omni Group Co-founder Will Shipley was working with Steve Jobs at NeXT at the time, and later he wrote that he had not anticipated to like Craig Federighi. In 2011, Will Shipley mentioned in the blog, “Incomes Federighi -the new guy- and he is like seven feet tall and gameshow-host handsome and he’s smiling like a used car salesman,” further, Shipley added, “I will admit it; I was prepared not to like him.”

“You naturally expect a tall, handsome guy to be, well, kind of a jerk,” He said “Like his ideas are more important than yours. But what struck me so hard in that first meeting, so much so that it’s still in my head 17 years later, is that he was there to listen. And not just to passively listen – he wanted to make sure he understood what we were saying, yes, but also to get to the heart of it.” 13

Craig Federighi once mentioned,

As Craig’s responsibility increased within Apple, his stage time at events improved more quickly. He now looks more confident, enthusiastic, and calm while being on stage. However, not all presentations went well. In 2017, when Craig was introducing Apple’s new face ID feature, it embarrassingly failed to work on the first attempt. Before the event, several people had used the new iPhone. This is why during the demonstration, the face ID asked for a passcode because of several failed attempts, later Craig explained. It’s really embarrassing even it was not a failure. However, Craig headed straight onto a backup phone without being worried.

“We are showing the way to the industry, to the customers, that they can demand more – they should expect more- about the protection of their privacy, and that we can move the industry into building things that better protect privacy”. Craig Federighi is one the very few famous faces of Apple, who has been delivering such great products along with his teams. Apple has really great products, and when Craig introduces upcoming Apple products with his cheerful nature and explanation skill, it becomes more interesting to see.

Avishek Singh | Business Connect

“ You will only be able to sustain and flourish in this market if you are innovative, and can create and implement outside of the box methods.

We are a result-oriented firm and guarantee that we develop long-term marketing plans and objectives for our customers. Our goal is to give high-quality service and all these aspects assist our customers to gain confidence.” adds Ankrish CHATTERBOX COMMUNICATION: THE BRAND STORY

Ankrish returned to India after finishing his studies in the United States. He wasn’t interested in a traditional financial career, and he was obsessed with social networking. He spent a few years working at a marketing business to have a thorough grasp of the sector, but he thought there was a vacuum that needed to be filled in this field. Ankrish saw a chance to capitalize on the existing rapid growth of digital marketing and social media presence, and in 2018, he felt ready to launch Chatterbox Communication in a small office with a team of eight people, and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, Chatterbox Communication is a thriving business with a workforce of 32 and with an ever-expanding portfolio of over 85 clients. We are now set to expand and have branches pan India very shortly. At present, the company is mostly dealing with beauty, wellness, and lifestyle-related clients. Public Relations is another avenue that the team is exploring as it compliments their work at Chatterbox.

CHATTERBOX COMMUNICATION VS OTHERS

There is a unique distinction that attracts clients to Chatterbox Communication.

Ankrish steers “ What sets us apart from our competitors is our focus on in-depth Competitive Analysis for our clients to see how their particular industry works, so they can get maximum ROI. One size does not fit all, and we analyze and create effective, customized campaigns for each client.” Chatterbox Communication constantly considers what the clients want and make their requirements the cornerstone of all the business activities. The team consistently seeks new methods to generate value for the consumers by continually developing and redefining their services. The founder explains,

“ We produce interesting and relevant content, analyze data, perform A/B testing to find possible improvements to websites, and plan and execute remarketing campaigns to guarantee leads convert into actual purchases for our clients. We continually analyze and adjust the material to ensure conversions, and we brainstorm plans with our clients, distinguishing us from our competition.”

CONVERTING CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES:

The challenge of any online service delivery channel is the management of service quality which is the key to customer satisfaction. Ankrish believes that Chatterbox Communications like to map out their client’s goals and orchestrate realistic timelines to accomplish them. He says, “Our crew is well-versed and up to date in a variety of fields, and they are always offering new ideas. With conversion rate optimization services, we provide our clients a competitive advantage in the online marketplace. We create relevant, high-value material that is proofread for accuracy, and we work closely with our clients to increase our understanding of their brands and gain a better understanding of their industry, audience, and company. All of these elements contribute to our clients receiving consistently high-quality services.” A digital marketing agency like Chatterbox Communication is a solution-oriented firm. They will know how to cope with the hiccups when your ventures do not go as planned. They will be able to identify problems, correct them, and complete the task on time.

“ Chatterbox Communication will be an essential component of your company, assisting you in expanding and acting on your behalf in the online world. As a result, we know every instrument that may assist you in reaching your company’s objectives.” Chatterbox Communication relies not just on ideas, but also on turning them into recognized actions in order to achieve the goals. They are obliged to do everything necessary to make the project successful since they are aware of your best interests.

“ We abide by the process of providing trustworthy information and data for customers. We provide appropriate reports, infographics, and work logs to ensure that our clients understand how data was acquired, used, and what impact it will have on their organization.” CONCLUSION

The term “marketing” is being fundamentally redefined by digital marketing. With everything becoming digital, it’s highly suggested that you hire a digital marketing firm to help you take your marketing tactics to the next level and achieve your goals. However, before you hire one, make sure they have all of the qualities that match your vision.

EDUCATION

Will Teaching From Behind A Mask Affect Communication & Learning

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, after spending so many months at home, children around the world are returning to school. Things at school won’t be as same as before, there will be a set of new rules and regulations that will be mandated to follow. One of the most important rules that would be listed at the top is to wear a mask. Masks have become the most common part of our lives now but the question arises, how children will adapt to such a new environment at schools? How will teaching and learning behind a mask affect the learning? When the matter of communication comes, the first thing that approaches to our mind is talking through our mouths in order to create sounds and speech. However, contact actually requires a range of visual and audio signals, such as facial expressions, gestures and eye gaze, as well as speech.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

Communication & Learning

The face, from which observers can quickly and easily generate a variety of readings, is one of the most important tools in human communication. The most basic type of human communication is through facial expressions. Will children be able to adapt to this new normal of education through behind the mask? How can face masks change the learning environment? At school, for children, it is more convenient to retain knowledge and understand new concepts of learnings through gestures. The way children interact and understand is through the assistance of both visual and audio sensory inputs. Although, gestures could prove helpful as teachers communicate from behind the mask, if visual speech signals are fully obscured, learning would certainly be impaired. But how, and to what extent?

Well, soon the schools will reopen and children will be back to their school life but things won’t be the same as earlier. There will be new rules, new methods of learning etc. we are all aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives a lot and people are trying to adapt to the new normal. There is a widespread apprehension as the school years approach to begin. While it remains to be seen exactly how will children be reacting to the situation where teachers will be teaching them wearing masks. The most important thing for both children and teachers is to adjust to the new normal.

The lower half of the face is obscured by masks that limit the ability to speak, perceive and imitate the gestures of those with whom we communicate. Positive emotions become less noticeable, amplifying negative emotions. In general, emotional mimicry, contagion, and emotionality are reduced and that way the bonding between teachers and students might get disturbed. Every child cannot adapt to communicating with masks, some children may face difficulties. For instance, children those are deaf or have some hearing issues mostly rely on lip-reading but due to the wearing of masks, they could fall behind. Teachers may have to come up with some ideas and adapt their strategies according to the needs of the students.

“Face features (such as the size and shape of the nose, the colour of the eyes, etc.) and their formation are not only used to describe faces but also to infer the emotions they convey”.

CONSULTANT

OF THE YEAR 2021

GAC CONSULTANTS Helps global companies set up a successful business in India

Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect oreign Direct Investment is regarded as the most significant factor in the country’s economic development. This, however, is contingent on the country’s political stability, which includes the absence of conflict, the Indian government’s durability, credibility, and successful decision-making, both of which influence the country’s growth. Given these conditions, India is now regarded as one of the world’s largest economies, owing to its sound economic policy and easy access to international markets, which facilitates doing business in India. There has been a lot of discussion around multinational corporations’ plans to shift their heavily intertwined supply chains from China to India.

THE MAN IN CHARGE Harshvardan Gupta is a young techpreneur specialised inCustomer Satisfaction, Sales Operations, Sales Management, E-commerce, SEO, and Data Analysis. Although Heterize is the finest illustration of his experience and ingenuity, Harshvardan actually stepped into entrepreneurship in 2016. He started with an e-Commerce platform, for it was an emerging boom in that period. And adapting with the trends, the platform bore rich fruits. Moving ahead, he completed his B.Tech in Computer Science and during this period, the idea of an IT company excited his mind. “Stick to what you know” is a strict school of thought in many entrepreneurship circles”, says Harshvardan.

A CONVIVAL PLACE Young and innovative, Harshvardan always believes Leadership is more than a title, it’s a mindset that sets someone apart. He believes that a person’s ability to communicate – to listen and evaluate a matter from all angles in order to reach a consensus – qualifies them as a leader. He also believes that a true leader expertises in a particular skillset, prefers learning to curb new opportunities out of failures.

He says, “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”He has faced failure upfront but that didn’t stop or diverge him from his path. Last of all, he advices to prioritize health above all else. Everything else can be delegated and earned except health. With such a charitable person at the helm, Heterize has built a wholesome culture which empowers everyone aboard to achieve their dreams. They have the concept of ‘joy at work’ imbibed within.

Harshvardan sums up his vision saying, “Don’t focus on the short-term outcome of your work. Look to the long term. Build sincere value and look to help your customers. Genuinely care. That should be the foundation. After that, it’s simply a matter of taking action and putting in the work to scale.”

It has developed 15+ Mobile Apps, 40+ Websites and 5+ system apps in merely few months, a great anchorage for further prospects. It has 4.9/5 client satisfaction rate and its building sustainable relationships that brings turnaround opportunities. “We are a Little Star which is soon going to be growing as big and brightest one”, avers the young founder.

PARTING WITH A VALUABLE ADVICE

Alongside, Heterize also plans to form strategic partnerships with established foundations and initiate customer loyalty program.These approaches will be fostered by diversifying its portfolio and penetrating into more verticals. Last but not least, Heterize also plans to expand to the global market.

“One has to balance his belief in the idea and be rational enough to keep changing with the need. Being rigid means facing failure and One cannot build a successful company alone and hence look for synergies and help from others around who are within reach and most importantly, Never expect success starting from Day 1”, Harshvardan Gupta.

THE NEXT FEATS In broad sense of prospects, his primary concern is to expand in Sales and marketing. Although it’ll take considerable effort, wearing different hats it’ll be worthwhile for the long run. While building in these, 29

Poornam EcoVision Foundation – This is a NonGovernmental Organisation that is majorly committed to waste management. It is fixated on generating awareness, providing solutions and addressing the environmental issues that is the need of the hour. The key inspiration behind this establishment is Vinda’s academic background, MSW – Masters in Social Work. This organisation toils day and night for developing sustainable solutions alongside dispensing social awareness in terms of waste management programs. Perspicere – The Revolving Perspective Foundation – (TRP) – Those insightful entrepreneurs with the zeal to come forward and contribute for social cause face barrier of scarcity of reliable platforms to look after their requirements of global visibility, knowledge gap bridging, etc. TRP came into existence owing to the dire need of a holistic ecosystem for entrepreneurs that can sync with their needs while bringing together all the individuals across the globe who strive for social upliftment. In short, Vinda quotes, “This platform has been made for the unsung heroes of the society.” TranScent Enterprises – This business portfolio proposes a one-of-a-kind solution for Converting Moments to Memories in the form of paper based and eco-friendly air fresheners. This product can be proved efficient in making cars to wardrobes to office spaces and even rest-rooms filled with refreshing fragrance. TranScent has also attained a repute of a corporate gifting solution where individual branding option is available for B2B customers.

BUSINESS VALUES Vinda’s perception towards success is firmly based on her ideology— practice an inclusive methodology. She has been following this mantra while working with all stakeholders in developing or communicating the organisation goals, values, plans or strategies. According to her, this concept allows optimization in overall efforts in communicating as well as clarifying her values and insights to the workforce. Additionally, this process helps in developing adequate responsibility and accountability matrix at every possible level of the organisation that concludes in enhancing the efficiency of plans, strategies and values, established by the administration. THE X-FACTOR While revealing the key USPs of her business ventures, Vinda claims that every company has its own differentiating factor as they are into different industrial space. All of her businesses run on the philosophy — Commercialization follows the passion and what makes those stand apart is the dedication to bring a positive impact in the lives of commonalities across the globe. In terms of revealing the biggest value addition for clientele, Vinda wanted to highlight the offerings under the training vertical of Synergeze Consultants, that have revamped the paradigm of how processes are re-engineered, incorporating the employee’s skills & competence while aligning with the needs, goals & culture of the company. When asked how is it done, she replied, “Skill gap mapping and analysis result in bridging the capability gaps via pieces of training to match the best-in-class process re-engineering approach.” She further adds that this value additive proposition ensures that the processes can render outputs seamlessly. 31

Her assertion is on the fact that since people are solely responsible for managing the processes, “Every organisation must have customization towards the People & Process Alignment to ensure best results and Synergeze Consultants is adept enough to add substance in this direction.” UNIQUE LEADERSHIP STYLE Vinda’s exemplary leadership stands firm on four cornerstones — inclusivity, accountability, learning & communication. She has cited her style of leading in a spectacular manner, “Any strategy if inclusive of all stakeholders, ensures accountability and is incorporating of learning and all of this backed with decisive and clarity of communication holds the highest chances of success.” In order to foster leadership traits in her employees, she relies on backup planning at every stage of operation within an organisation that can lead to succession planning for each role. This allows aspiring leaders to groom themselves within the organisation to be ready for taking up the lead roles when time demands. THE WORK CULTURE WITH A DIFFERENCE Across all the companies, the continuous learning & improvement concept is infused in the work culture. The management strains every nerve to map as well as analyse any professional skill gap at every level. Owing to her own two prominent training verticals— Vinda can effortlessly roll out customized modules to help fill in the gap not just only for her employee but also for general professionals. To her, no work culture can be standardized or implemented in any organisation. Her out-of-the-box insights state that a culture should evolve in pockets or departments and later, should be unified at a macro level. Leading all the companies at the forefront, she gives credence to the fact that optimistic work culture plays significant role in the success of any organisation and keeping a check on toxicity that spoils the overall canvas of the organisation work culture is also imperative. She states that there are various types of work culture thriving in her business ventures such as — Clan, Adhocracy, Market & Hierarchy with their respective pros unifying the whole team members while propelling the businesses to greater heights. ACHIEVEMENTS THUS FAR Under the auspices of Vinda, all her brands have been scaling the ladder of success affirmatively and their exclusiveness has been recognised as well as rewarded by many eminent institutions and publishing houses.

Also, Impower has bagged the Best Business Innovation Platform / Brand of the Year 2021 Award that has been felicitated by the Minister of MSME - Govt of India. A TOKEN OF ADVICE FOR THE BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS “My message to aspiring entrepreneurs would be two folds for them to focus on Network & Social Capital – Having understood the impact of a good and effective network, I can confidently communicate that this is the first thing any entrepreneurs must look at gathering before even start of the journey. However, the only caution should be quality over quantity. Be Selfish by looking inside and building outside.” www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

IN 2021

REDEFINING FINANCIAL ADVISORY Indranil Roy | Business Connect

ith the recurring transitions across the financial space, financial planning has earned a crucial and niche importance. Livelihood has to go on, no matter what, and solutions must amend to smarter methods for a strategic upper hand. Smart financial planning has become a roaring trend in the Financial space in the past few years. Leveraging the increasing application of digitization, many young innovators have devised full-stacked Fin-Tech platforms that enable customers to make informed financial decisions. A popular name in that trove is Mr Abhishek Kumar, Managing Partner, Ingenetus. His innovative Fin-Tech platform is a single-window for tailored consultancy on diverse financial concerns. Its promising solutions and revering global presence qualifies it for inclusion in our upcoming edition, “Top 10 Most Trusted Financial Consultants in 2021”.

A TRUSTED NAME

Ingenetus was found with a sound vision, ‘To be the most preferred entity for Financial Planning decisions providing the most innovative end-end services on a

constant basis’ to both individuals and corporates.

ENVISIONING NEED-BASED CONSULTANCY

In 2012, Abhishek decided to shape a holistic enterprise that upholds

the values of client-centricity. He has an extensive background in finance and has good cognizance of its challenges. While working as a Wealth Manager in an International Bank, Abhishek found that the financial consultancy was more inclined to revenue generation than understanding client’s concerns. “I’ve seen cases of retirees being sold ULIP products tied to equity markets while they were looking for a retirement income stream.”, he added. These impediments set forth the course of Ingenetus. Abhishek envisioned need-based financial planning more than revenues, and it bore rich fruits. Ingenetus has created a niche through its methodical advisory that adheres to Goal Planning, Risk Assessment and Understanding Tenure. Its advisory is accredited by the Financial Planning Standard Board Ltd., USA (FSPB), ensuring the highest standard in ethics, knowledge and experience. The coveted accreditation is achieved by rare but acclaimed financial advisors, in India. Whether it’s Investment, Insurance, Lending or Tax & Estate Planning, Ingenetus lays down a customized advisory that ensures the best ROI. The Company’s vision is to be the most preferred name for financial consultancy.

To keep up, Ingenetus’s team analyses both qualitative and quantitative measures using research tools and output stream for recommendations. The output stream stays dynamic to the market, and the recommendations help create solutions for all kinds of investors.

“50% of our revenues are obtained from Investment Advisory vertical and naturally draws the heaviest R&D,” opines Abhishek. Besides, organic development, research and analytics also help in conquering challenges. During the inception, Abhishek was juggling multiple responsibilities, like Industrial www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

EPITOME OF TRANSPARENT CULTURE

Shalini Gera

Senior Partner empanelment, figuring out office spaces, client management and entering transactions. This is followed by recruiting competent people and acclimatizing to digitization. But, his ability to think in-depth helped in procuring opportunities from the challenges. Adjusting to digitization was a big challenge. Back then, there were a handful of digital transaction platforms and platforms by AMCs required endless research and an industry consolidator. But as soon as it got its hands on an NSE transaction platform, all it needed was backend software to consolidate customer data. With time and evolution, digitization broke down geographical barriers paving the way for a global presence.

TECHNOLOGICALLY COGNIZANT

As mentioned above, Ingenetus has grown with the changing tides of innovation in finance. In 2018, it took the first step towards digitization and incorporated paperless KYC processes, account creation, financial analysis and transactions. Afterwards, they brought in a Financial Planning software - an in-house research tool for Fund comparison, Factsheets, Model Portfolios and creating Financial Plans. The Ingenetus app is their most recent example of innovation & creativity, offering clients a real-time and analytical understanding of the financial picture. While the app has proven to be highly beneficial, it’s not the final destination. Ingenetus plans to optimize clients’ delight by: • Attaching customer’s investment account with bank accounts, allowing 3rd party payments for utility and insurances • Extracting their credit data for lending solutions With eyes on customer satisfaction, Ingenetus has evolved from Mutual Fund Distributors to Financial Planners. The platform caters to 400+ retail and corporate clients, including self-employed individuals, CXOs, promoters and retired personnel as well. Its offerings range from Financial Planning for individuals to Treasury assistance to Group Insurances for SMEs to Working Capital requirements for corporates.

Ingenetus keeps its sails high on the values of Integrity & Respect, Mentorship, Client Satisfaction and Transparency & Trust. Their confluence sustains transparency and keeps employees on a prolific track. In other words, it ensures better employee engagement, robust culture and a freewheeling communication channel. Also, employees get to proffer and apply innovative ideas and creativity. Ingenetus has a 360° feedback mechanism for employees to share the Company’s prospects and ideas with teammates and how to raise the bar of quality. A robust Performance Management System includes the following• Continuous Review • Annual Review Individual efforts amounting to a scalable revenue are appraised by the Company. The in-house transparency is also ensured with clients to steer clear of escalations.

CONQUERING THE COVID-19

While Covid-19 proved an illustrious hurdle to every business, those in the digital space got a major upper hand. Ingenetus’s business is closely linked to market performance, and since it took a hit, the Company turned to its nonmarket solutions, such as Tax Planning and Estate planning. On the other hand, the period took them through a moving transition from a traditional model to a digital milieu. Digital channels were established to stay connected to clients. Monthly webinars were conducted to stay connected to customer’s finances and emotions assuring them that they were there with them in those difficult times.“We even brought leading experts, including Fund managers, to interact with the investors to put them at ease,” adds Abhishek. The out-of-the-box route to increase sales

efficiency proved fruitful. Ingenetus also conducted Financial awareness programs to acquire more Pan-India customers.

ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE NAMED FOR

Starting in 2012, it took a lot of endeavours and hard work of Abhishek and his team to take Ingenetus to the point it is today. However, the quest is marked by several milestones and accolades. Few of the notable milestones are: • Earned the epiphet ‘Champion Partner’ and ‘Platinum partner’ from multiple Asset Management Companies • 2021, Shalini Gera, Senior Partner, Ingenetus, was accredited by FSPB with a Certified Financial Planning Certification • 2021, awarded by TATA Asset Management as Key Partner for Q4 FY’21 performance. •

THE MILESTONES TO CONQUER

In a broad sense of prospects, Ingenetus seeks to become “The most reputed and respected Financial Brand in India”. And to do so, it aims to expand to Mumbai and South Indian territories. It plans to include an additional pipeline of Stock Advisory in its platform. Contrarily, Ingenetus plans to provide ESOPS for developing employee’s loyalty and performance. Ingenetus also aims to become an Asset Management Company as a long term plan.

A WORTHWHILE MESSAGE TO READERS

“A worthwhile advisor is a stepping stone to success. He won’t hold you back rather encourage and support you to reach newer heights of success.” – Abhishek Kumar, Managing Partner, Ingenetus

THE INCEPTION TALE The foundation stone for Funvention was established in Jan 2017, by two brothers Mr. Milind Vadnere and Mr. Kamlesh Vadnere with a common objective to enlighten young minds and unlock their hidden talents and skills for their better future. But just after a few months of the inception, Funvention lost its Creative Founder, Mr. Kamlesh, to cancer. Later, Mr Milind took charge of all business responsibilities alone thereafter. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

Milind Vadnere Co-Founder & CEO

THE LEADING FIGURES BEHIND FUNVENTION • A connoisseur of art and technology, Mr. Milind Vadnere has proficient artistic as well as engineering competence that he attained by working for over 12 years in IT industry. His zealous outlook driven by innovation and perfection towards concept designing, inventing ideas, and modelling them into the projects, has bestowed him with a unique identity and every single product of Funvention can be seen reflecting these values only. • The Sales Head of Indian Operations, Mr. Abhijit Shirke, holds 12+ years of experience in toys/stationary industry. With his self-motivated and adept sales skills, Funvention has been able to generate considerable value.

His dedicated efforts and hard work has been the motive force behind the success of Funvention products in several eminent stores and modern trade like—Hamlay’s and Toys Rus. 36

A TRIBUTE TO LATE MR KAMLESH VADNERE Late Mr Kamlesh was the Co-Founder & Director of Funvention who was well-reckoned as a Creative and Meticulous Artist.

TECH & INNOVATION

BUILDING TRUST IN 2021

Innovation and an Imperative for Embracing Data Privacy, Transportation and Security In 2020, from the Covid-19 to Cyber-attack have been the biggest concern. Companies like SolarWinds, BlueKai (Owned by oracle), a UK-based security company called Keepnet Labs, South Africa Postbank, and many others have been hacked. According to selfkey, around 16 billion records, including credit/debit card numbers, home adders, phone numbers, and sensitive information, have been revealed. With more than 8 billion records have been exposed, the first quarter of 2020 has been one of the worst in data breach history. 37% of cyberattacks have increased in India in Q1 2020, as reported by Kaspersky Security Network. According to the economic times, cyber-attack surged since lockdown. The bombardment of misinformation and data breaches has made us wonder about the privacy and security of our sensitive personal, and organizational information. These all events have delivered many blows to public trust. It could be seen the lack of trust in everything from government agencies to brands. This year founder and entrepreneur have an opportunity to bring those issues, get creative, and solve them, but make sure you are not part of that problem. It begins by addressing the breakdown of these following areas.

DATA PRIVACY

Protecting personal data privacy has been the biggest concern, but long gone are the days when sensitive consumer docs were locked in a filing cabinet at the end of the workday. In the digital era, half of the population is online and sharing more information about themselves by using different online platforms. However, there is debate over who is responsible for data privacy. The Cisco Consumer Privacy survey has shown, around half of the respondents believed it was the government’s responsibility, a quoter thought consumers should be responsible for their own safety online. While one in five felt it was up to the companies who collect, process and store the information to keep it safe. Data pricy laws, like European laws GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA, have been followed by India and put greater onus on organizations to ensure data privacy. Bart

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

Willemsen (VP Analyst Profile) Gartner has a prediction that by 2023, 65% of consumers’ personal information will be protected by data privacy laws. The Fines and other business impacts, such as reputation damage leading to lost business, make companies keenly aware of the importance of maintaining data protection. The majority of new businesses do not meet the minimal criteria necessary to be compliant with data privacy regulation, but that doesn’t mean founders can ignore data privacy protection. Rather, meeting data privacy criteria initially can ensure the company is prepared as it scales as new privacy laws are inaugurating. Applying tech that categories data while lessening redundancy make you ready for customers request to be forgotten or verify what data is held. It is essential for you to consider what data, is valuable to maintain, and could be cast off. There should be governance over the data, either by appointing a person on specificities position, adding tech or by bringing a third party to protect privacy properly. Also, request from the user can be immediately addressed.

TRANSPARENCY

Transparency is very essential in data privacy compliance. As per GDPR articles, answer to consumers’ questions surrounding their data will be made in “Concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language.” Questions like do they share information to 3rd party? have they defined the intention for holding customers’ private data? how long will it be kept? How is it currently processed? must be answered by the companies. Although these questions come under GDPR, (so whatever company setting up their business in the EU or doing business with European residents, they have to follow), these such type of transparency would be stranded for new businesses. It only indicates loyalty among consumers, partners, and investors. It is a big challenge to be transparent, but you should be because that’s the way you will know how data is used.

Founders or entrepreneurs must look at the technology that is available to address the issue. Without being transparent, data is useless because you don’t know how it will benefit you. Achieving the transparency need to have data privacy laws - it will give you better insights into your data. The solution of data transparency won’t just allow you to clarify why you are holding user’s data, but also how it can provide your company with improved business agility.

DATA SECURITY

Amid the pandemic, customers were ordering the essential home products online and spending more time on the social media platform, while employees were doing work from home, which has led to an increase in data breaches. As per Malwarebytes, 20% of the breach and cyber incidents are directly related to the remote job. Data breaches linked to the pandemic lockdown, such as the attack on the small business administration that disclosed of applying for emergency loans from the government. It has no question that data is being under attack. It is rested on business to take action to shield it. Of cure, it could be far more difficult to do when your startup is small, you have very limited resources, and your workforce is accessing the network on personal devices all across the globe. Some basics rules like using multifactor authentication for getting all company and users’ data and enforcing strong passwords (did you know the SolarWinds attack relied on weak passwords to get access). VPN is more secure than home routers, and encryption would be used for any sensitive transmissions. The cloud-like SECaaS (Security as a service) provide accessible management for the worker, and tools that offer security on the edge can provide proper data security, whether it is on the network or access on the smartphone through the cloud. In 2020, many were compelled to readjust their approach to data protection. In 2021, many entrepreneurs and founders have the opportunity to learn from them and build trust.

CONSULTANT

OF THE YEAR 2021

SIDDHARTH MAHESHWARI & CO

Consultancy with Trust & Quality

Indranil Roy | Business Connect

Chartered Accountants hold a distinct and prominent role in the economy. And to think, their responsibility includes overseeing just debit-credit of accounts, it’s actually, more than that. Of course, their core functions are based on accounting, but CAs play a much more integral role in nation-building. They use their wisdom and expertise to shape a viable financial framework that allows a nation to cope with its financial concerns in an organised manner while boosting economic growth in industries. Even now that our Nation’s economy strives to emerge from the decay, CAs are putting a lot of effort into it. Their roles may be related to budget forecasting, Tax planning, preparing accounts books, capital budgeting or other financial concerns, but in the end, they are maintaining a prominent status across segments. One such riveting Senior CA & Corporate Consultant is Siddharth Maheshwari. Through his Chartered Accountancy Firm, Siddharth Maheshwari & Co, he is catering a broad spectrum of tailored solutions to multiple industries & sectors with a worldwide client base, which attributes to the Nation’s growth.

SIDDHARTH MAHESHWARI Senior Chartered Accountant

SHAPING THE PASSION Hailing from a family of CA & Lawyers, Siddharth was determined to carry forward the family legacy from an early age. His vision was to shape Management Consultancy with more innovations and creativity. After completing his CA degree and masters in Finance & Taxation, he started working with his father, Mr. Rajan Maheshwari, a prominent Senior Advocate in Taxation and an eminent lifetime member of several International Institutions. After a period of learning and honing his skills at a top Management Institute (IIM-Ahmadabad), Siddharth began working on his vision - and in 2013, he incepted his proprietary Firm, Siddharth Maheshwari & Co. Later on, Mrs. Shilpa Maheshwari, (Siddharth’s Wife) - a CA having prior experience with Ernst & Young and Deloitte, joined him on board. Furthermore, they are supported by Mr. Saket Maheshwari, (Siddharth’s young brother) - a Financial analyst, MBA (USA) and his wife, Mrs. Swati Khaitan Maheshwari, MSc. Economics (London). Siddharth calls it “A family unified by values, culture and soft hearts”. Siddharth dedicates all his success to his mother Mrs. Latika Maheshwari, “My mother has been a large part of that force. I gratefully dedicate my success to my mother,” he adjoins. With such a supportive family and a passionate leader, the Firm saw a meteoric rise. Siddharth’s ingenuity, desire for learning, and capacity to think beyond the box also navigated it through highs and lows. As of now, Siddharth Maheshwari & Co. is a paragon in the pantheon CA firms, recognized for its trusted solutions. It works with 5000+ clients, including Indian and foreign from all verticals, like Automotive, Pharmaceuticals, Travel & Tourism, FMCG, Imports & Exports, Fashion Industry/Garments, Agro, IT & Technology, etc. A SNAPSHOT OF THE FIRM Whether it’s an aspiring entrepreneur or an established tycoon, Siddharth Maheshwari & Co. - is equipped to help both. The Firm is an all-inclusive parasol in accounting & taxation, focusing on prime concerns, such as Income Tax, GST, Corporate Finance, Audit, Accounting services, International Taxation, TDS and Payroll. It also works on Litigation and Scrutiny Cases, Export

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 | Special Edition August 2021 INDIA

& Import Documentation, along with, services like Online E-tendering, E-auctions. On the other hand, it focuses on corporate consultancy to help companies earn their desired recognition. Siddharth has a forte in producing innovative ideas for Startups; therefore, the Firm is into Start-up consultancy in terms of setting up a venture, cost management, management setup, mergers & acquisitions, etc. Parallelly, the Firm is quite acquainted with technological developments. The accounting & taxation model has quite changed from what it was a decade ago. With the digital inclusion and govt. efforts to reconcile data, it has become easier to access information. “This has created a viable transparency between the government and taxpayers,” asserts Siddharth. Such transparency and Digitization enable him and other CAs, to work with more resources and deliver more transparent reports. THE CORE PILLARS Accounting and business consulting entail a fair bit of close interaction, which necessitates trust & integrity. The foundation of Siddharth Maheshwari & Co. is on these essential pillars. Siddharth’s family has been in this industry for over three generations, and preserving that legacy ensures clients’ trust and faith. He believes in quality over quantity and prefers probing through scenarios to understand individual concerns. “Once a potential client walks through our door, we ensure they find us viable,” affirms Siddharth. End-to-end confidentiality is maintained. The firm also places a high value on time and ensures to meet deadlines. Security of clients’ information also advocates trust. Hence, the records are preserved in a highly organized system with appropriate security measures. The Firm tends to keep up with innovations, which gives access to high-end infrastructures and technology (Software & Hardware). Its presence in every vertical, as well as proper source of information, improves knowledge. The resourceful framework has rewarded a 100% retention rate, a PAN-India client base and a strong exposure to the global market as well. PROPER BALANCE OF HUMANS AND INNOVATIONS Although Finance & Taxation are deeply influenced - by technology, Siddharth Maheshwari & Co. has maintained balanced integration. Clients can communicate through numerous communication channels, being supervised by responsible people. Even questionnaires to probe potential clients and understand

their concerns are prepared by individuals and not just machines. Nonetheless, the Firm has its own proprietary software to maintain the client’s database and uses 100+ accounting software in operations. The proprietary software has very limited access to ensure data caches are safe and maintained properly. Whether it’s clients or employees, everyone can access only their areas of concern. The balanced model helped in ensuring a fruitful business model amid the pandemic. While COVID-19 affected every sector, people with proper resources fared well. Adopting the scenario, the Firm has shifted its operations online to grow and ensure the safety of everyone. All the hearings with the departments and meetings with employees, clients, respectively, are done on digital platforms. The in-house software has significantly helped in advocating a systemic and secured business & consultancy model. A CULTURE OF TRUST It is said, through culture, a company conveys its true nature. And the foundation of clients’ trust and honesty is how a firm regards its people. This is somewhere the beloved firm has placed a robust landmark. Siddharth Maheshwari & Co. has employees working with them for 3 generations. The founder proudly asserts, “They worked with my Grandfather, now they’re working with my father and me. Also, their children after postgraduation have started to work with us - This shows work ethics and culture”. Their team consists of experienced professionals and experts along with, Stenographers, Record Keepers, Data feeders, Back-end Office Staff, etc. Everyone enjoys collaboration, respect and maintains an organised way of work. This creates the impression of ‘One big family’ where everyone is treated equally and contributes equally to the Firm’s success. To uphold a culture of trust - one needs to look beyond their fences, which is why the entire Maheshwari family indulges in societal contributions. They are associated with social institutions and sponsor cataract operations for the underprivileged. Furthermore, they organize free surgeries for children born with certain disabilities. Siddharth claims that his family has been contributing to this humanitarian work for 20-25 years and would continue to do so in the future.
