  • Elegance Enterprises, a Bangalore based property consultancy launches a new concept: an online marketplace dedicated to farmlands

    Bangalore, Karnataka [India]: Since the start of the lockdown from March 2020, a lot of things have changed in India and the real estate industry is no exception. One of many changes that the realtors have experienced during this period is the rise in the demand of farmlands, farmhouses and vacation homes. This is due to the fatigue people have experienced living in the cities with restricted movements. The ambitions of owning a bigger home, the aspirations of getting closer to nature are taking over.

    This shift in the mindset and requirements of buyers quickly got the attention from the big players of the business as they started their journey with managed farming development. This change was helped by the relaxation in farmland ownership laws in a few states making it the perfect timing. In fact, this particular niche in the industry has seen around 70-80% year on year growth in the last year.

    But there was one problem that people were facing. Despite the constant launches of projects in this niche, investors weren’t able to find the right projects for themselves easily. They didn’t know which concept or what type of land to choose or whom to trust.

    Elegance Enterprises claims to have found the solution as they launched their online marketplace for farmlands, farmhouses and vacation homes. The platform is named as FARMLAND BAZAAR and you can visit it at www.farmlandbazaar.com and it will act as an online platform for managed farmlands, farmhouses, estate properties and vacation homes. This will make it easier for investors to browse, compare and choose from various projects and that too at one single platform.

    The Company claims to foresee a sizable market share in listings in the coming few months. Notably, Elegance Enterprises has been in business for 9 years and has a fair share of hold and connections in the real estate industry. So, this website can turn out to be a great bridge between farmland owners and investors if things go as per predictions. The people at Elegance have themselves claimed that Bangalore is just a pilot city of the journey and by this time next year- the website would have a catalogue of around 1000+ projects. The website will offer services for farmlands, managed farmlands, farmhouses as well as vacation homes.

    Moderated by Amit Porwal, a leader of the industry and Director of Elegance- the event of launch of the platform was in itself an epitome of the potential that the project has. Elegance is a member of CREA(I)- Confederation of Real Estate Associates (India)& NAR- National Association of Realtors and the support from both the organizations could be seen. Pradeep Joe, the founder and chairman of CREA(I) himself was the chief guest at the well-executed webinar.

    What made the webinar an all-round success was the quality of discussions and facts shared along with the massive reach. 3700+ people had notably registered for the event and the peak attendance was around 2400. This is an achievement for the whole of the Indian Real Estate fraternity as such an event has never been recorded before where this many people came to learn about real estate.

    Other dignitaries who spoke on the event were- Salman Khalid, Managing Director of Redifice Developers, Ravi Kant and Pavan Tripathi, the two founders of Elegance Enterprises and the four panelists namely- Amit Hardi, S.C. Tripathi, Veena Krishnan and S. Sunil Kumar. All of these people shared their valuable insights and experiences. Ravi Kant & Pavan talked about their vision and ambitions related to the project while the panel answered the problems people face when it comes to anything related to farmlands.

    Amit Hardi, CEO of Nukebox Studios- a gaming company shared how his experience as a farmland enthusiast has been being from a completely unrelated background. Veena, a Real Estate Lawyer with 20+ years of experience in real estate laws spoke of the legal rights and wrongs of farmland deals. While Mr.Tripathi and Mr. Kumar shared their grassroot level knowledge of developing, managing and nurturing a farmland being an agricultural scientist, and a managed farmland developer respectively.

This part of being an entrepreneur in business development is grossly misjudged and underrepresented. Also, you should have the option to comprehend what people like, how they would want to see something done, and how to bring across how your product is unique and better than something different your potential client has seen.

  • GaiaQ Digital Marketing – Transforming the Digital Space

    New Delhi [India], June 8: Content writing is a highly specialized job today, with the clients demanding the sky when it comes to their needs. Although the number of content writing services has mushroomed in the past few years in an unprecedented manner, one company that has managed to create its niche amidst mediocrity is GaiaQ, whose Founder-CEO, Aakshey Talwar, is serving across the spectrum and getting recognized for it as well. “Content builds relationships, adds commitment, and drives revenue,” adds Aakshey. GaiaQ has kept up with all the market trends and so, the has decided to venture into digital marketing services too. Operating under the same brand name, the company will also be taking on clients who want to reap the benefits of online marketing through some clever, out-of-the-box thinking

    Aakshey had just passed high school when in 2008, he founded “Weaving Thoughts”, which became India’s first pure-play Content Marketing startup. However, he didn’t rush into it. This firm was a result of months of hard work, intense analysis, and meticulous planning on part of Aakshey and his team. Weaving Thoughts was born with the firm belief that content marketing was to be made the “most effective and credible forms of marketing.” The fact that Indian businesses have taken to content writing, just like fish to water, corroborates his belief that this is one activity, which could help businesses connect & engage with their target audience in a much more meaningful way.

    When Weaving Thoughts came to life, content marketing was just a nascent business idea for India, with most content writing work being carried out behind the scenes by smaller players in an unorganized manner. However, within 5 years of the startup being formed, content marketing had become an integral part of the marketing mix, with almost 85% of global companies committing to it officially. So, Weaving Thoughts became GaiaQ and entered a new phase of its life. Today, the content marketing company works with clients who want Content Marketing as well as Strategic Consulting services for their needs. Talking about his business model, Aakshey informs, “We ensure that you don’t have to shop around for other article writing services if you decide to buy content from us. You can hire writers for any industry if you choose us.”

    GaiaQ has today managed to diversify into digital marketing including SEO, Google Ads, and Social Media Marketing, forming a new company – Gaia Internet – in the process. With such clients as Sony, The Hyatt Group, The Times Group, OYO Rooms, Policy Bazaar, Upgrad, and Cremica, in its kitty, Aakshey’s venture has come a long way in making content writing as well as content marketing the standalone aspect of business marketing.

  • “Ghanikhama, Welcome to the grand show of e-commerce knowledge.” – This is how Prashant Gandhi greets his students

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 4: ‘Ghanikhama,’ which translates to welcome, aspires to educate, mentor, and motivate everyone who wants to get into online business.

    It won’t be an exaggeration to say that business flows in the veins of this young Marwari from Gujarat. Obviously!

    “There’s nothing too technical, too serious or difficult about online selling. A 16-year-old or a 60-year-old, stay at home mother or working women, newbie or a seasoned entrepreneur- all can do and flourish in the online market. You just need some guidance, some motivation and a little push and that’s exactly what Ghanikhama does,” says a beaming Prashant, the man behind the show – the founder and CEO of Ghanikhama.

    So how does Ghanikhama do this?

    “We believe that the basics form the foundation of any knowledge, and hence we begin with the ABC of E-commerce. All the aspirants are educated such that they learn to do online business from scratch. Our e-book has all the theoretical and logical information about the online business, including some case studies.” The e-book has been written by Prashant Gandhi and Aanchal Hingle, who share an experience of over a decade.

    Then there are live video training sessions that illustrate the theory and get the aspirants into practical learning mode. All the aspirants are given a road map to establish their business, and they take steps under the mentorship of Prashant. They report about their daily task flow and update how their objectives are being pursued in accordance with the set road map.

    Whenever they face a problem, they discuss it in video meetings. This not only gets a solution but also spreads the knowledge to other students of the batch. In addition, each student discusses the progress of his endeavour.

    Although Prashant believes that the aspirants should figure out the ‘whats ‘and ‘hows’ and ‘wheres’ of their business on their own because that is how they will master the art, he helps them if they need his support.

    Traveller at heart, talkative and jolly, Prashant left his top job in an Ecommerce giant to pursue his own business. Famous as Ghumakkar Gandhi amongst his peers, he loves travelling to historical places, caves, mountains, and MARKETS!

    From an E-commerce professional to an entrepreneur and now a mentor, Prashant’s journey is as interesting as navigating through the products on an online portal.

    He began his stint with Ecommerce in 2013 and has explored a variety of categories. Living in the commercial hub – Ahmedabad, procurement was easy. Though E-Commerce was in its nascent stage in India, the bylanes of Gujarat were rife with opportunities for smart sellers.

    With Ghanikhama, he had tapped the nerves of the online market and knew where the bull’s eye was and hit right there with élan beginning with gifts, jewellery, and other merchandise, all of which need nuances in photography and inventory management. In just one year, they reached seven figures! Presently the company has a catalogue of over 8000 listings across the different E-commerce platforms. Amazon, Meesho, Flipkart, he takes these names as frequently as he breathes! Ask him about the most profound or technical question about these, and he will have the correct answer!

    “The figures I have reached were after a lot of research, failures, some luck and a lot of hard work,” says Prashant.

    Prashant kept sailing across the sea of e-commerce, and he made several friends on the way.

    A typical Gujarati believes that business is not just about how you sell things as much as it is about how you can sell yourself. He built a persona and an identity, open to discuss his success, secrets, failures, and strategies. Quite unknowingly, people who heard him understood that this man is different. His expertise and knowledge are contagious, and his willingness to spread both make Ghanikhama a great learning place for online marketing.

    He began training one on one without expecting anything in return and Ghanikhama came into being. He knew how the beginners struggle and how to guide them. There is one thing called educating and mentoring; Ghanikhama goes beyond that. They hold the hands of their students until they hit the goal.

    There is a chunk of young inexperienced, and even experienced entrepreneurs getting into the online selling bandwagon. They are pumped up, hopeful, and their entrepreneur wings are eager to flap in the online air. But, unfortunately, many invest money, time, and effort but end up with losses. Prashant knows what mistakes the beginners make, thanks to his decade-old experience.

    The uniqueness in Prashant’s method is, he never puts financial pressure on anyone. Instead, he asks the person, what amount can you invest at ease? All the plans right from selecting products, procurement, and scaling up are devised to match the person’s comfort.

    While consultants may give you advice and help with problems, Prashant lets his students face the blockages and then brainstorm for solutions. He helps them where they struggle but letting them free in the business field helps them understand the ‘hows’ and ‘whats’ of business.

    “The best business lessons are learnt while rummaging around the market. No videos no Zoom sessions can teach you that. Online selling is different from traditional selling. There are some intricacies, challenges, and principles that form the ground rules of E-commerce. While we help them with the science of business with whatever knowledge we have, we want them to learn the logic and develop the art of business. Isn’t business an art too?” he says.

    The digital and online market is full of noise. For a seller to make his voice heard, he has to channelize his aspirations and strength in the correct direction. Prashant taps the pulse of his students and understands that each of them is unique. He knows how to make each one heard, rise, and thrive in the giant E-commerce industry, initially with his support and later alone; though he promises that his sessions may last a few weeks, but his hand holding is for a lifetime.

    We asked him, “Do you intend to make mentoring your full-time profession?” He says, “No! Mentoring will never be my main profession. It is a part of Ghanikhama, as well as my hobby and passion. For us, our students are our investment and their success will make us rich. It’s not for my pocket but for my heart. I see the beginner me in each of them.”

    If you are thinking about launching your business online, you know that Prashant is your go-to person.
