Developed by Rajkot resident Jignesh Lakkad, Businessbook boasts of seven key features that can help businesses grow.

Rajkot (Gujarat) [India], August 16: Imagine a mobile app that acts as a business directory, allows users to look for jobs, buy & sell property, deal in used goods, and even make posts on their timeline. This kind of an all-in-one super app is not a mere imagination but is already a reality.

Rajkot resident Jignesh Lakkad, who holds a  Master’s degree in Information Technology, is the creator of Businessbook, the super app that boasts of the above features and much more.

Jignesh, partner at Webstar Infoway Pvt Ltd., launched Businessbook as a business directory on February 7, 2020. Incidentally, he met with an accident within some days and was bed-ridden for six weeks. While he was recuperating, the Covid-19 pandemic struck, and a nationwide lockdown was imposed. The extended lockdown resulted in many people losing their jobs and means of livelihood.

“It was a difficult time for everyone, and I spent several days thinking about how I could help others. I started work on adding more features to Businessbook after realizing it would enhance the app’s utility and help people earn money,” says Jignesh about the super app.

Businessbook mainly has seven features. The first is Business Directory, which allows users to register their businesses by adding details such as name, products, location, etc. The digital branding helps businesses get new customers and expand.

The second feature is Job Vacancy, an extremely handy tool for job seekers and employers. Candidates can share their resumes using the feature with companies listed on the app, while companies looking for employees can post their job requirements.

Businessbook also allows users to rent, buy, and sell property, while the fourth feature allows buying and selling of used products such as furniture, mobile phone, vehicles, electronic appliances, refrigerators, etc.

Users can also add posts, including text and photos, to their timelines on the app.

The app’s sixth feature is Khatavahi, a tool that allows users to record and track daily financial transactions.

The seventh feature allows users to earn money by referring businesses to register on the app. The app pays Rs. 50 for each referral.

“Businessbook has features for everyone, but it is handy for those looking for information about businesses in nearby areas. Users can easily get details about different kinds of businesses using the app. Moreover, they can get Rs. 50 per referral, and there is no limit on how many referrals they make,” says Jignesh, adding a pan-India business directory is in the making.

Businessbook can be downloaded using the following link:

75 per cent of the openings will be in the tech department, while the rest 25 per cent will witness opportunities for non-tech roles

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 16: The leading HRMS and Payroll software provider, Keka, is all set to increase the hiring opportunities available in the company with its recent announcement. Within the next two years, the company will be doubling its employee strength with 150-200 new hires. The determination to further revolutionize the HR world and the zeal to continue thriving has paved the way for Keka to expand its employee size.

The move directs the brand’s focus on expanding its product’s technical assistance and developing a strong tech-enabled customer service to not just strengthen the software further but also to remain firmer on its “people-first” mindset. The hiring will allow freshers and experienced professionals of various domains to apply to one of the fastest-growing tech companies in India. Apart from tech-related roles, several non-tech jobs will be filled up, including across different departments like the product, customer success, sales, HR and more.

The approximate number of hires being made till FY 2022 in different categories are as follows:

Sales- 40 job openings

Tech- 60 job openings

Customer Service- 60 job openings

Other departments- 40 job openings

Final year students will also have opportunities in the form of an internship through college placements.

Speaking about the company’s aim with this new announcement, Vijay Yalamanchili, Founder of Keka, said, “These hirings are a crucial part of the next growth phase. With the addition of learned and skilled employees, we aim at building a deep tech-enabled interface in our existing software, thereby catering the best services to our employees. This expansion will also help in accelerating our vision of growth and enabling an even better customer service experience for our clients.”

During its journey, Keka ascertained the industry’s need for an enhanced, tech-enabled, real-time and instantaneous client service, essential in the current pandemic-induced remote working set-up. Its employee expansion is a crucial part of this vision to serve customers better.

Keka is determined to hire nearly 65 per cent of the Freshers with 0-3 years of experience in the field. The next 20 per cent will hire Mid-level professionals having 2-5 years of experience, while the remaining 15 per cent will have openings for Senior-level leadership roles.

Keka has an employee size of close to 250, including interns. It provides an excellent environment of a corporate world. With its next hiring season, the company will be a great opportunity to work with, given its growth-centric guidance and training given to every employee. Ideal candidates would have knowledge of Payroll software and the HR department as well.

The company’s association of talent and behavior with productivity in terms of recruitment to expand the family has brought them to where they are today. Keka’s employee-first mindset did not let the pandemic’s wrath affect the employees’ salaries. Moreover, no layoffs were made during the time when other companies were sacking nearly 50 per cent of their workforce.

When asked about the key skills needed to earn a position at Keka, the company representative said they screen candidates based on their knowledge of the role, behaviour and dedication. A hard-working attitude matched with an analytical approach towards work and a passion for excelling at what they do will help candidates stand out from the crowd. Keka believes in fostering the personal career growth of its employees as well and is looking forward to hiring candidates who are ambitious.

About Keka:

Keka is on a mission to create inspiring digital workplaces where employees can do their best work. It all started when Vijay Y and Sashi P wanted to implement HR software in their growing IT services organization. Frustration due to the existing inefficient HR products in the Indian market and their poor user experience drove them to create an HRMS product, which the Indian HR fraternity truly deserved. Thus in 2015, the Keka product journey began. Unlike the traditional HR systems, Keka focused on solving complex HR problems in a simple and intuitive way. The product enables organizations to manage their HR processes from hire to retire while ensuring an awesome user experience for the employees. This is the major reason Keka has been embraced by 3750+ organizations within just 4.5 years. Keka, which coined the term Employee Experience Software, is loved by more than 300,000 employees in India. Recognized by some as the growing market leader and by others as an HR tech disruptor, Keka has become the Tesla(TM) of Indian HR products.

New Delhi, August 16: It is no understatement- being an entrepreneur isn’t easy. It’s not one skill set; it’s many, all rolled into one, all needed at the same time to come together as an efficient machine. Over and above, an entrepreneur needs adaptability, as well as the ability to build quick expertise.

Neha Kapoor is one such live example who has made her mark on the Indian industry with both her commitment and calibre through her stint at the Ojas Group.

Neha Kapoor, a B.Sc. LL.B, by education, started her Chambers of law in the year 2012 and turned into an entrepreneur. Being one of the few hundred Patent Attorneys registered with the Indian Government, she had a ringside view of innovation across sectors, which had a profound impact on her subsequent choices, especially aligning with the Ojas Group.

Having worked in a direct briefing from the Government of Delhi – she was also born, brought up and educated in the Capital – on a variety of public interest matters, she developed an astute understanding of governance, policy and procedure.

With extensive exposure to Indian law through her rich erstwhile experience and private practice, she is recognized to bring a keen understanding of transactional, administrative and legal matters – a vital element in structuring any business start-up.

Neha Kapoor has been involved with the Ojas Group since the inception of its first enterprise, almost a decade back. She is a Promoter – Director, in Succession Training under the Founder himself, thus involved with various activities, easily manoeuvring across diverse sectors, where she is trained to be responsible for germination to gestation to even incubation and mentoring, across functions like ideation, business strategy, financial modelling and fund-raising, brand development, market-entry, etc., as well as the grooming of a new generation of entrepreneurs – she credits all her potential to the Ojas Group.

One of the younger, albeit the brightest star in the country, Neha Kapoor is undoubtedly honed as one of the sharpest and finest minds in the business ecosystem. Today, a testament to the Founder’s sincerity in manifesting his vision.

With an uncanny aptitude for grasping the multiple layers of any global venture, she today has evolved into a seasoned tactician, easily counted among the top achievers, internationally. Spirited and gifted, she embodies the true motivation behind Ojas’ endeavours.

Neha Kapoor is focused on making the Group’s various endeavours in Alternative Education and Human Potential (DB Empowerment Solutions), Financial well-being (Eera Fortunes), Real Estate, Technology, Hospitality, Lifestyle, Media and Management Consultancy (Matra), a viable player in the market circuits across multiple countries, as well as generating robust opportunities for employment and wealth generation.

In today’s competitive environment, where there are several people aiming to create success for themselves, it is still very difficult to spot a self-motivated person like Neha Kapoor, who, under the aegis of the Ojas Group, chooses to create collective growth as well.

It is for this reason that not only has she been nominated for the category of ‘Inspiring Women Entrepreneur-below 40 (2021)’, but she has also been awarded the same by Business Mint.

New Delhi, Augb 10: Entrepreneur, that is, a person who undertakes an enterprise; a word that has become commonplace in today’s corporate environment; we hear practically every day. And yet, Akshi Singal, the focus of our story today, came to us with a unique question. She wondered – while we routinely term individuals starting new businesses as “entrepreneurs”, why don’t we hear the term being used in the context of professionals? A doctor, a lawyer or a chartered accountant who undertake their enterprise. Are they not entrepreneurs? This got us thinking – so we decided to cover Akshi Singal – a professional and an entrepreneur whose focus is on assisting growing enterprises. An entrepreneur for entrepreneurs. 

Akshi Singal is a chartered accountant and holds a specialization in international tax law from the prestigious Leiden University, a law degree from Mumbai University and a B.Com (Hons) from Delhi University, where she served as Vice President of her student body. Having grown up in a house of a passionate entrepreneur, she was instinctively attracted to the idea of creating something of her own. Akshi began her career imbibing the industry best practices through over 7 years with leading firms like PWC, Deloitte and BMR. However, upon witnessing the monumental shift in the national sentiment towards promoting start-ups, Akshi decided this was the right time for her to realize her dream and start her career as an entrepreneur. She left the comfort of her job to open and run an office in Mumbai independently. 

Akshi understands that an overwhelming majority of start-ups close down within five years of establishment, often due to a lack of proper professional guidance. Having advised on the buy and sell-side of investments in different start-ups, she sees an existing vacuum for growing enterprises that find it challenging to access expensive professional assistance. Moreover, such enterprises have little understanding of the complex regulatory regime they seek to function within and desperately seek trustworthy professionals who can take care of the technicalities, focusing on growing the core business. With this guiding principle, Akshi has built her practice around becoming a one-stop-shop for the regulatory needs of growing enterprises and providing end-to-end client servicing from entity selection and co-founder agreements to taxation, regulatory and legal advisory to both start-ups and start-up investment networks. 

Akshi believes that while the government has brought in several regulatory changes to facilitate the growth of new enterprises and promote the ease of doing business, there remain many opportunities for reform in the legal framework that can further augment and catapult the development of the start-up community. For instance, currently, a private company is restrained from accepting deposits, with a few exceptions. A very welcome change was brought in 2017 that enabled registered start-ups to accept monetary deposits from investors. However, given the cash flow situation of many start-ups, founders often face a cash crunch. They need to approach friends and extended family for bridge financing for short intervals of time. Allowing registered start-ups to easily accept deposits from any person, albeit up to a certain amount, with minimal compliance requirements, would significantly reduce the regulatory burden on founders. Secondly, registered start-ups who have filed a declaration for exemption from section 56(2)(viib) of the Income Tax Act are immune from angel tax. However, there is no exemption for start-ups from the provisions of section 68. It requires the recipient of a share application money to prove the identity and creditworthiness of the applicant and genuineness of the transaction. These impose an unduly onerous burden on start-up founders to verify their investors’ identity, authenticity, and creditworthiness before the tax authorities. Requiring start-ups to, at the most, prove the investor’s identity and shifting the onus of proving the investor’s creditworthiness and genuineness of the transaction to the investor will greatly relieve founders from high litigation costs and heavy tax burdens. Thirdly, from the investors’ viewpoint, avid investors would be more willing to invest in start-ups if they were exempted from the capital gains tax, subject to reinvestment of profits in registered start-ups. Finally, investor interest in the start-up space would increase if their investment was eligible for a deduction under Chapter VIA of the IT Act.

Being a female entrepreneur and a mother of a 4-year-old, Akshi is deeply aware of the balancing act every working mother faces while juggling a career with personal responsibilities and family. She is fascinated and motivated by the many female entrepreneurs that have held this baton and is deeply passionate about women entrepreneurship, actively promoting female employment in her firm. She is also cognizant of the struggles women face while pursuing dynamic careers and thankful for the tremendous family support she has received to pursue her dream.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 13: For the past four years since its inception, The Artistree, a US Entertainment News Portal, has managed to evolve itself and accept newer challenges. Thus, by starting through embracing Music, TV Shows, and Films, The Artistree started taking broader genres that people around the world embrace and enjoy to the core of their hearts.

So with much of that area covered, Anime and Gaming will be two new categories, The Artistree plans to cover moving forward. This comes off amidst their expansion to a wider demographic of audience. Thus helping their newer fans acknowledge it from their point of view while the already established fanbase could keep themselves up-to-date with their favourite Anime and video games.

The Artistree is making sure to play the right cards as they expand their catalogue, with Anime being one of them. Although, the fanbase for Anime has lived and thrived in one form or another for decades. The past decade was much like the big mainstream boast the animated form of Japanese Entertainment received. A much larger demographic of non-anime fans acknowledged the out-of-the-box storylines. You can either say lockdowns were the reason or that the newer generation animes made louder roars.

The success of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train could be the best example of this boast. While the anime fans knew, the movie will be a success. But the ratio of success the movie managed to break was something to keep in mind. It went on to earn over $500 million at the worldwide box office and became the highest-grossing Anime and Japanese film of all time.

So The Artistree must have an audience and team that embraces Anime’s art. So they look forward to helping the growth of this industry and the fanbase. Furthermore, them joining hands with Otakukart. One of the entertainment sites that has risen by embracing the Otaku culture is a sign that the company is adamant about it.

Coming to Gaming, well, the industry is the best example of evolution throughout the years. Something The Artistree resonates with as well. The E3 2021 might have shouted out that the future is exceptionally bright. But we have already been experiencing it in the first half of 2021, right from heavily loved dark and action powered Resident Evil: Village games to colorful worlds of Knockout City and  Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.

The crossovers and reliving nostalgic games have also become a thing. Recently, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has made its way into Gaming. Fans are quite awaiting to play as their favourite Nickelodeon characters. So it’s inevitable to say that let it be the new gaming environments or nostalgia. Gaming was relevant yesterday and might stay on forever.

So keeping everything in mind, the expansion of The Artistree will welcome the fans from Anime and Gaming community to their family. The mission of Artistree to embrace every art form is coming true like it always has been.
