    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.

  • Neha Kapoor is the Inspiring Women Entrepreneur of 2021 with Business Mint

    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.

    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.

  • Linen Trail the Future of Linen

    Kochi, Aug 13: Linen Trail, a slow fashion label based in Kochi, creates timeless 100% pure linen clothing for the mindful individual. Made from 100 per cent natural sources, garments produced by them support the traditional craftsmen like the hand block printers to the women of the Toda tribe for their embroidery, based out of the Nilgiris. Director of Linen Trail, A 100% Pure linen apparel brand hand-crafted for Men & Women. Anirudh Kollara talked to us. Here are a few excerpts:

    Linen Trail wants to be a sustainable (slow) fashion label in the following ways: Why did you choose Linen, and what is the viability you see in the fabric?

    Linen is the oldest fabric known to man. It is currently still more popular in the Ready-to-stitch segment; this trend had continued into the 21st century even with the popularisation of Ready-to-wear in the Garment Market. It is primarily because Linen has a high shrinkage percentage (The garment would shrink after the first wash). Linen Trail was conceptualised to bridge the gap in the market for 100% pure Linen Ready-to-wear apparel for Men and Women. Positioned as Linen specialists, we strive to get the perfect fit, finish and fall for all of our pure linen pieces through the linius process to ensure zero shrinkage for the product.

    According to you, how has the market for Linen been, and what are the trends you are picking?

    Linen’s intrinsic value in the market is more expensive than its natural counterparts like Cotton, hemp or Jute. The Indian market has a strong affinity towards luxury goods, which has helped Linen Trail grow its base of customers. Over the past year, we have seen a 15X growth through our website LinenTrail.com. The change in consumer behaviour (the shift to online shopping) post-COVID is a primary reason for the spike of growth in the category coupled with the affinity for premium/luxury goods and sustainability in the Indian market.

    Consumers choose linen apparel; why? What sets this fabric as an industry trendsetter in recent years?

    Linen garments were regarded as an expensive buy, but the mood has changed over the years. Linen apparel is a natural and more sustainable choice than Cotton. Linen garments can make a subtle statement of class; it doesn’t even require a logo; the customer knows its value, appealing to the growing affinity towards Luxury goods in India. Linen is also naturally breathable, adaptable, and anti-bacterial.

    Retailing linen garments: The future that you are eyeing?

    The future is all about sustainability, and Linen is a sustainable choice as its production is a natural process that requires less water. The need for sustainability is now more than ever. We have successfully created a business model for Linen ready-to-wear online based on real demand, which has helped focus on what the customer wants while having an inventory turnaround ratio of about 6. It has helped fuel the growth for the past year, even with the pandemic affecting our retail outlets. Retail for Linen will pick up, but online is where the real growth is for the category.
