COVER STORY 11

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

THE BUSINESS PORTFOLIO Logistic Linkage Group claims to be the one-stop destination of logistics services, that needs no outsourcing at all. The in-house processes make the overall service costs quite competitive in the space, says the dignitary. On the PAN India level, their custom clearances have become core activities and impeccable transportation facilities make them stand out from the crowd in the logistics industry. To sum it up, the organisation describes itself as a multimodal transporter that deals in various modes of transportation. Speaking of the company’s inception story, it all started when Vipin Bhardwaj got exposure in Kuhne & Nagel. Here, he joined as Sales Trainee and attained extensive experience in all India sales operations in 1994, getting deeper insights into all verticals of Logistic activities. His incredible performance in the department allowed him to get promoted 3 times in one year only.

out-of-the-box to this industry that was under the state of huge transition. Back then, the logistics sector was never considered as a beneficial one to invade as an entrepreneur as the surge of new technologies were never expected by anyone ever. At present, his brainchild is catering to over 25 industrial segments where its reach has been expanded across multiple verticals like — Automotive, Hitech Industry, Refrigeration & Air-conditioning, Lithium Batteries, Steel, FMCG, etc. And soon, it will expand its horizons to ensure an adamant reach to more segments as well.

‘SCM AT PAR EXCELLENCE’

Later, he was bit by the entrepreneurial bug that propelled him to start his own venture from scratch. With this, he aspired to cater to the needs of various verticals under the same roof. He decided to offer something

The SCM software offered by the company has been dedicated to bringing a huge difference in supply chain performance. For manufacturers, on-time and accurate supply chain information help in an efficient workflow. LOGLINK is their in-house software that has been specially designed to make synergy with the stipulations put forth by their diverse customers. It has a multi-faceted working mechanism that offers different solutions to different issues. An agile and efficacious supply chain system is lucrative to manufacturers and retailers to reduce

excess inventory. This eventually leads to the decrease in the overall cost of — `producing, shipping, insuring and storing products that cannot be sold. Supply Chain Management comprises six major components1. Planning 2. Sourcing 3. Making 4. Delivering 5. Returning 6. Enabling

And Logistics Linkage Group stands firm to offer the ‘delivering’ component that is commonly termed as logistics. It is heavily focussed on coordinating customer orders, scheduling delivery, dispatching loads, invoicing customers, and receiving payments. And this component primarily relies on a fleet of vehicles where later, the product is shipped to the customers. It has been seen that most of the organizations outsource a majority of the delivery process to a few specialist organizations, especially when any particular product requires special handling to be delivered with adequate safety. So, timely shipping & clearances and delivering clearances at airport pose new-age challenges to the organisation that are the prominent factors that satisfy SCM needs. In this reference, the luminary states, “Logistics is an important element of a successful supply chain that helps increase the sales and profits of businesses that deal with the production, shipment, warehousing and delivery of products.” In order to sync with the new-fangled requirements of the industry, Logistic Linkage Group has been adhering to all the major factors while tailoring customised solutions targeting several industries to cope with the upcoming challenges.

WHAT MAKES IT STAND APART FROM THE REST? Being steadfast on its prime motto to satisfy the customers with the best possible solutions, the group is effectively adding substance to this space. The reason says- customers have a myriad of options to pick from, but the organisations only one! Hence, driven by this motto since its inception, the organisation is making leaps in terms of growth. Additionally, adapting as per the changing scenario is a must to stay ahead of the game, where the company acknowledges the industry trends and ensures appropriate changes accordingly. Here, they have organised all the logistics operations into multiple steps. From the first one to the last, they implement changes as per the customer demand. “We have only variables factors where we can play an instrumental role in molding functions as per customer requirements,” asserts the key official. To get better insights into the customer expectations, they arrange multiple informal meetings at customer sites and get a deeper understanding of their requirements. Then, the team puts 2-3 solutions on the table after thorough analysis. Later, they conclude the process as per the decision of the customer and this is how they explain their prowess to be a key contributor to the growth of their end customers.

ABOUT THE SUBSIDIARIES Logistic Linkage wishes to deal with high costs after its inception. This stimulated the founder to purchase new enterprises to facilitate in-house processes for cost-cutting. Hence, the Group happens to bring over 6 subsidiary enterprises under its parasol that are heavily into several verticals of the logistics industry.

As per the founder, this service will make a huge difference to their customers in terms of value generation.

Another subsidiary, Lord Krishna Container Leasing was brought under the Group in 2012. It happened out of the surging demands of the customers in warehouse cost-cutting. The customers wanted to store the containers in their factory and have easy access to the material whenever required. Here, if the raw material is stored in containers, then they need not worry about transportation or warehousing. Presently, this enterprise is pretty much active in selling/ leasing containers in Indian markets where its 300+ containers are readily available across the country for its customers.

SIGNIFICANCE OF R&D When questioned on the role of R&D processes in their growth, the dynamo elucidates that R & D is vital to acknowledge the wavering market trends and predicting the future demands of the industry. All the pinpoints that are needed to be addressed to stay ahead of the game can be identified by this process. For Logistics Linkage Group, this process proved to be effective in managing the fresh phase of Logistics, Textile , Food processing Textile Industry, Cement & Lighting Industry, Building , Consumer Industry, etc. Furthermore, with persistent R&D, the organisation will gradually keep adding better services to its portfolio. 14

JUSTIFYING THE LEADERSHIP POSITION What speaks in favour of the group’s leadership in the industry is the enhanced number of opportunities that are being offered to it for handling the global shipping process. As the industry has now recognized major pain points to deal with, they are seeking better ways to improved operations here. With this acuity, the clients are reaching out to them owing to the company’s swift tech- adoption and modern software inclusions that help them keep things under control. As the industry is now in momentum with the volumes being high, they foresee better growth in the next few years. Though the future is about to witness cut-throat competition in this space, the Govt. Of India’s support across Surface Transports and New Freight Corridors will prove to be a notable booster to them. To stay resolute to their leadership position, the senior executives of the Group are fixated on connecting majors metros for seamless transportation to be girded up for the anticipated volumes. In line with the endeavours to deal with the rudimentary stage, the management will be starting a rapid recruitment process to bring some extraordinarily talented individuals on board. And when it comes to maintaining the quality standards of the proposed services, the ISO certified organisation hosts an annual audit program to analyse the business functions, if those meet their established guidelines or not. “It is done regularly to maintain our quality standards and keepings records with Indexing system to get benefitted in future,” cites the founder. CULTURAL PRINCIPLES “Employee satisfaction is the only yardstick to know the organisation graph,” reveals Vipin, the secret sauce to their thumping success. Also, dedication is the sole term by which the leader sums up the culture of the organisation. Since the pandemic hit the businesses, the staunch dedication of the staff members has been the motive force behind their resounding success, even amid the unfavourable times. Hence, to acknowledge their selfless efforts, the management has launched various employee- centric schemes to ensure a satisfied workforce. As each individual here is on highs to achieve the company’s objectives, the administration also recognizes its duty to offer the best workplace experience to its employees. FUTURE OUTLOOKS AT A GLANCE Beyond any doubt, Logistics Linkage Group proves its expertise across a plethora of verticals today- be it Custom Affairs & Consultancy, or Shipping & Forwarding or Domestic Transportation. The leader takes immense pride to be the pioneer in the above spheres and aspires to keep adding substance to these with ameliorated services. For the future, they are committed to offering world-class services at a reasonable cost to their targeted audience that says its client-oriented attitude. In this direction, they also pledge to never make any compromise and deliver the finest value to the clients.

SUCCESS STORY

Fevicol

“Ye Fevicol Ka Mazboot Jod Hai Tootega Nahi.” ESS C C U S STORY

How can we forget this ad dialogue? Of course, we are going to do a case study of Fevicol success story. A one-time peon created Asia’s biggest adhesive company. Nowadays, the company has turnover around 6332 Crores INR/year, isn’t it surprising? Let’s just deep dive in to know about it.

INTRODUCTION Fevicol is India’s biggest leading Adhesives company. The company was founded by Indian entrepreneur Balwant Parekh known as the Fevicol man. It was 1959 when the Fevicol was first marketed in India as an easy-to-use and replace another fat-based adhesive which consumed a lot of time for boiling prior to the application. This brand innovation has transformed the way carpentry trade operates in India.

FOUNDER & FEVICOL Balwant Parekh was born in Gujrat who participated in a movement called “Bharat Chhodo Andolan”, launched by Mahatma Gandhi. He had finished a law degree from Mumbai, but he was reluctant to practice law. Living in Mumbai was difficult for him, so he had to work at dyeing and printing press. He ended up working as a peon at a wood trader’s office. During those days, He lived in a warehouse along with his wife.

Balwant Parekh

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

Eventually, one of the investors recognized his business skills, Balwant started importing cycle, paper dyes, and many others from other countries. Later, he and his younger brother Sushil Parekh started their own business and named the company called Pidilite Industry.

basket. The Pidilite industry has acquired all those adhesives companies who could be a competitor in the market. Now, M-Seal, steel grip, Roff, Sargent Art, ColStar, Cyclo, Holdtite, WoodLok, Falcofix, and even Araldite Maker are part of the Pidilite Industry. Meaning, no matter what adhesive product, you are buying, money goes into the same bank account.

Over the years, Fevicol built a monopoly in the adhesive industry. In 2002, The Pidilite created another product called FeviQucik and acquired company M-seal too. Later, the company expanded products by acquiring many adhesive companies.

Apart from product quality, Fevicol focuses on maintaining a close relationship with the customers. The company has introduced different kinds of products at a very different price to meet customer demand. In this way, the customer cannot be missed.

In 2006, the company focused on international expansion. Factories have been set up in many different countries such as the US, Thailand, Dubai, Egypt, and Bangladesh. The brand also built a research center in Singapore.

The company follows a different SKU strategy, has launched Fevicol in a very different quantity, meaning the customer can buy ad per their needs. The products are available from pack 22.5gm to 50Kg. The Fevicol is OTC (over the counter) product that is available from the grocery store to hardware.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES The founder of Fevicol Balwant Parekh owned the very ultimate strategy to sell the Fevicol. First-time, in Indian business history, he approached direct marketing strategy. He researched and found that 80% of carpenters were decisionmakers. In such a case, educating carpenters about Fevicol’s benefits and direct marketing approach was a key factor for the company. Later, the company added a new strategy. Wide Product Basket or deafferented product, the company Pidilite has introduced many adhesives products, a separate Fevicol for each different item. It would be difficult if the company separated a place for each different Fevicol’s items. That is the reason, the Pidilite provides all different kinds of adhesives products at one place for distributors, dealers, and channels. In such a way, it became so easy to dealing, delivering, and billing the products. Inorganic Acquisition, Speedy Acquisition, and Aggressive Acquisition are the major reasons to become a wide Product

Cargopeople CLEARING THE HASSLES OF LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

Avishek Singh | Business Connect he transportation of goods has always been known to be a hectic task taken into consideration the never-ending hassles. We often get irritated by the thought of following cumbersome process. We have always yearned for an alternative that could provide ice-on-cake service. In recent years, a number of companies have emerged on the landscape of Indian logistics industry. Some of them have earned huge respect from their satisfied clients. Cargopeople is one such company that has been yielding top-notch service for many years.

The growing contribution of foreign trade has helped Indian economy become double since the last decade. Foreign trade represented 20% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2000, which increased to 42% in 2012. This development has been accompanied by a phenomenal rise in the volume of freight traffic movement. Being one of the largest consumer markets in the world, India’s logistics sector is driven by industries such as automobile, pharmaceuticals, Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and retail. Furthermore, the government of India lays emphasis on increasing manufacturing and exports. This has made logistics an imperative sector to achieve the desired levels of development foreseen for the country.

infrastructure is the major bottleneck impacting the development of logistics and the efficient movement of cargo in the country. Cargopeople has been a force to reckon with during all these years of operation. History of associations with reputed organizations When we talk about the Domestic Cargo Transport Industry in India, it comprises of several modes including Roadways, Railways, Inland Waterways, Coastal Shipping and Airways, whereas transportation of goods to and from foreign territories is largely done through seaways and airways. The industry has grown manifold both in terms of value and volume on account of intensifying industrial and manufacturing activities, in addition to increasing consumption of commodities. Additionally, since the industry is gradually dealing with and surpassing its shortcomings, it is bound to come closer to the realization of its potential in the future. The same in turn will not only augment the competitiveness of the country, but will also create more opportunities for domestic businesses and foreign enterprises operating in India. When talked about the work culture, the company is aligned to the entrepreneurial ecosystem by providing a holistic environment to its employees as well as servicing its customers round the clock. The company includes members of reputed organizations like PHD chamber of commerce and registered under MTO. Internationally, it has members of worldwide organization WCA which is considered the benchmark of reliability and safety in logistics industry. It has emerged as a growing freight forwarding company in India.

Seasoned expertise to your service Cargopeople was incorporated in the year 2011. It caters to international logistics of commercial cargo. It handles air and sea shipments besides providing services like custom clearance, warehousing, trucking and insurance as per customer’s requirements. The core team of the company had already been working in Logistics industry for years. They had gained knowledge and understanding through partnership in a freight forwarding company. In 2011, it decided to build its own company to be a one stop solution for all freight forwarding needs. This prepared the fertile ground for Cargopeople. The strong relationship between domestic & international trade and logistics infrastructure is widely accepted. While growth in trade stimulates the requirement for supporting infrastructure, availability of infrastructure at competitive rates promotes trade and improves global competitiveness of a country. In developing countries such as India, an efficient logistics infrastructure can reduce cost of transportation which in turn can contribute directly to economic development. However, India lags behind several other countries in the global setup in terms of logistics infrastructure and services.

Things You Should Never Search on to Stay Safe

In order to get any required information for yourself, everyone needs a search engine and in today’s era, Google is that giant search engine platform. Most of the internet users are quite habitual in opening a Google Search window, whenever they want to do anything. Therefore, from basic food recipes to home, locations to visit, online banking and money transferring or even buying medicines, everything is just one Google search away. Like most of the banking websites, government websites like municipality tax, online shopping platforms, and hospitals, etc. are prime targets of scammers because these are payment website portals. On the other hand for normal people, it is difficult to identify which of these websitesare original from many searches. Therefore, it is advised to always opt to directly visit any particular government website by particular form or website mentioned on the product you use, do not opt for searching it on Google. It might be fake and scam for you. It also noted that Google, himself is not responsible for wrong searching and outdated content. Google doesn’t create this content as it is just simply published by users. It is an online platform or a search engine where you find websites by the people that offer you the information that you want, not offers you the information google provides. So it is to be understood that everything that one sees or learns by searching on Google www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 4 Special Edition October 2021 | INDIA

doesn’t necessarily have to be correct and accurate as it is maintained by the common man. LET US DISCUSS 5 COMMON THINGS YOU SHOULD AVOID SEARCHING ON GOOGLE:GOVERNMENT WEBSITES ARE EASY TO SCAM TARGETS; AVOID SEARCHING THEM ON GOOGLE Like most of the websites, government official websites such as municipality tax, electricity website, and other informative web portal, these have become prime targets of hackers. And it is very difficult to identify for normal people that which website is original web portal or which one is a scammer on Google. Therefore, it is always advised to opt for a direct link provided on product or service rather than Googling their name. If you want to open such websites use directly visits on any particular government website instead of searching for it on Google. E-COMMERCE WEBSITES OR OFFERS ON GOOGLE; CAN EASILY BE HACKED In online marketing, ecommerce websites are bloom because everybody likes online shopping. Whether it is cloth apparel or electronic item, we all buy easily and handy from eCommerce web portals. But sometimes we forgot about the right web 24

portal and just Googled the incorrect one to get scammed. All the scammers and hackers are actively traced these face sites on Google on behalf of the correct one and harass normal people. Another big precaution is fake web pages of so-called offers on e-commerce websites by which we get attracted. We are so in need of offers and discount coupons that we neglect to identify between real and fake. That’s how we got scammed by Google search on an ecommerce website and have flooded. This is another classic scam by which innocent people like you are lured with attractive deals to just big click buttons on malicious websites to steal their online banking login details by hacking. DO NOT SEARCH FOR FREE ANTIVIRUS APPS OR SOFTWARE ON GOOGLE Stop searching on Google for free antivirus to install for your PC; you never know that who made this and how it affects your computer system. Hence, always look forward to things like this and try to avoid if this kind of thought develops in your head.

Never search for Antivirus apps or software on Google as there are scores of fake products by the immature and corrupted people who are already ready for scamming you. You never know about any original one out there and it becomes difficult to identify the original ones. DO NOT SEARCH FOR COUPON CODES ON GOOGLE TO GET DISCOUNTS Similarly, like ecommerce scam, this thing is also going onThe coupon codes and discounts. Sometimes we search on google about a particular brand and it is highly costlier than our budget or we just simply want to spend less money. Therefore, we search google coupon codes on websites and there goes our biggest scam like most of the coupons steal our personal information. If you get Coupon code by this search for discount on shopping then it’s fine but if you seek them form anywhere else then it might be risky.Don’t go out on the hunting for it on Google as you might land on fake websites that attract your mind and sell fake coupons to you at a cheap price and then steal your banking details.

DO NOT SEARCH FOR YOUR BANK’S ONLINE BANKING WEBSITES ON GOOGLE Always open your bank’s online banking portal with original website in your hands. Do not always open such things by normally Googling them. It is always advisable that the chances of hacking came for financial websites as they are active in such places and make the exact same website like your bank’s portal to fool you. They made look-alike fake websites on google to make your account clean by the time you fill the personal informations. Hence, before taking any further stepsfor using the financial services onlinelook twice and even thrice for real official links before filling the details.

The recycled Building Materials, Cleantech like Solar PV, Water & Waste Water Management is the Future. ENSURING EMPLOYEES CONTENT Global C strongly feels that a Company or Firm or an Association is a group of people working towards a greater good not only for themselves but for the community in general. If one doesn’t find either of the two then you don’t belong in that group. The company has been fortunate enough to have key foundations in their humble organization which keep Fort Knox in close guard nearing to a decade and a half. They have a long way to go and are daily evolving methods and steps to ensure every hand on deck is self-motivated to be a part of their goal.

ADVICE FOR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS Advice from Global C to the aspiring entrepreneurs is to stop thinking about volume & scale until you have not identified the problem in hand; think of engaging & solving it with the minimum resources available. There is a great saying of Steve Jobs – “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANY The company looks forward to being a part of the Government of India’s Initiatives on Expansion of Airports & Healthcare. Hospitality is close to the heart of Global C including the evolution of Smart Hotels. Construction of Composite Structures using a smart combination of recycled waste & efficient building materials is another ocean they plan to jump into.

GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY Doing what you love is the best and most efficient manner anyone can be in. If every job in the world is treated with full respect, humility & sincerity, the world would be a much better place. The money, of course, catalyzes the above process but it is not the sole criterion. Global C is associated with a few initiatives but feels that marketing a CSR initiative is against the very motive of giving back to society. 35

Smartphones are smartly tracking you

So, Beware! W

ith the invention of mobiles, communication is no longer an obstacle around the globe. It is the greatest revolution in the history of technology; dependency on wireless communication becomes a need of contemporary times. Smart phone becomes an essential multi-tasking device; it has touched variant spheres of life. Online shopping, video calling, rapid transmission of messages, watching movies, the list does not stop here, it goes beyond become possible due to the availability of smart phones. On the contrary, are there only benefits of android phones? The answer to this eminent question is ‘No’, because there are numerous privacy deteriorating concerns associated with smart phones. Let’s dig into detail, what serious security issues can be caused by smart phones? Downloading Smart Apps leads to leakage of Personal Information Numerous applications are installed in our mobiles for varying purposes in day-to-day regime. For example game applications, cookery apps, Facebook, and Instagram apps. Have you ever thought they are the biggest threats to our security? ‘No’ because everybody in this world is entirely dependent on these applications; they are immensely enjoying the benefits of these apps.

A technocrat says, “If technology provides you comforts then it takes a lot from you.” When you download applications from Play store, they track your personal information like location, name, photos in gallery, your contacts, etc. which is quite dangerous to your security. Camera in smart phones capture beautiful photographs; on the other hand, it also identifies the faces in the pictures, and provides all the relevant information to the phone’s company and Google. Unscrupulous sources can get your personal information through these applications which cause serious threats to your privacy and dignity. Gaming applications like PUBG, candy crush, etc. from the screen’s camera even track your favorite TV programs, and inform the Google for displaying similar ads as of your choice. I know it is quite surprising and jaw-dropping fact. GPS and severe risks attached to it GPS stands for Geosynchronous Positioning Satellite; the prominent purpose of this application in smart phones is to find out the route of a particular location. For an instance, if you wish to go from Hauz Khas to Rajiv Chowk via car, turning the GPS ON of your phone, you can easily reach to the destination by following the indicated directions. This is one of the incredible advancements in the sector of communication and technology. If there are undeniable benefits of using GPS, then a multitude of demerits are also involved. GPS challenges a person’s security to a tremendous level which cannot be ignored. The application works with an internet, when you turn GPS ON, then a number of malicious apps are downloaded on smart phones. These applications are constantly tracking your route, and try to know your intended destination. This leads to multiple crimes in the cities by providing all the relevant information to the undignified elements. In fact, uploading locations on Facebook and Instagram provides imperative information to the third party like about your social circle, venue of a particular event, number of people in social gathering, etc. This is a serious concern, and some relevant steps should be taken to curb a leakage of information in order to be safe. How to stop applications tracking YOU? Your safety is your prime responsibility; if you use smartphones smartly then definitely you are going to be secure and safe. Now, an indispensable question arises, how can you be secure? There are number of applications which you download; the best way to ensure privacy is to turn off the location access. In fact, uninstall all the irrelevant apps which are occupying a large space of your smart phones. These applications are accessing your personal details without letting you know, so it’s feasible to delete unwanted applications. While watching videos on Youtube, or other channels, do not click on the ads in between. Try to skip them as they are the potent sources of security threat. Many viruses and unwanted applications can cause a serious harm. One of the renowned IT entrepreneurs in an interview with Business Connect says,” We cannot avoid smart phones, but we can be vigilant towards our security.”
