  • Indipaisa, awarded India’s fastest-growing brand starts empowering MSMEs

    Indipaisa, awarded India’s fastest-growing brand starts empowering MSMEs

    Indipaisa, awarded India’s fastest-growing brand starts empowering MSMEs 

    New Delhi (India), September 5: Indian Micro & Small-Midsized Enterprises (micro SMEs) are usually forgotten and underserved by the banks, Fintech’s, and financial institutions. Why? Because their revenues are small, their volumes are small, and they are not profitable to profit-seeking financial institutions, in most cases, banks and fintech’s have a set of solutions that are targeted at small customers. However, the price points are too expensive, and the service quality is too low.

    Indipaisa (www.indipaisa.com), a Noida-based fintech brand, backed by Nexxo Ventures a Dubai-based digital banking venture firm, is India’s fastest growing brand in 2021-22, now performing in 5 states and planning to spread across PAN India by giving commercial micro banking solutions to empower MSMEs. Indipaisa’s commercial micro banking solutions are now being utilized by MSMEs in Delhi/NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka which is changing the status quo and offering low-cost & high-quality financial services. These services are customized from the ground up to address the needs of Indian small business owners and operators. Indipaisa conducted more than 30,000 questionnaires to hundreds and hundreds of Indian micro businesses, then developed a Social Network powered Fintech platform offering integrated digital commercial micro banking services to under-serviced and under-banked Indian micro SMEs. Indipaisa has already opened an innovation centre in Bengaluru and plans to open another office in Mumbai as it doubles up on its efforts to reach out to MSMEs across PAN India in 2023.

    Commenting on the award, Aizaz Tahsildar, CEO of Indipaisa said “It’s been more than a decade that we have championed in providing commercial banking solutions to MSME in MENA regions and now we are here in India where the largest MSME exists. Our focus has always been MSME. We have been using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) powered platforms for commercial micro banking solutions. This award is for the team behind Indipaisa, which represents a combination of more than 200 years of experience in various sectors in fintech, digital banking, IT security, electronic payments, and compliance. This amalgamation of expertise is fuelled by cutting-edge technology.

    Indipaisa empowers small businesses with its financing tools like the all-in-one POS device, Just-Tap POS terminal, SoftPOS, e-billing, e-commerce, GST tax & ITC filling, Insurance, micro business lending and payroll solutions. All these solutions are built with the needs of local businesses in mind. The payroll solution built by Indipaisa allows business owners to roll out salaries in minutes. The solution covers everything from calculating deductions and allowances to taxes and vacation payments and saves time, effort, and money, which translates to higher profit in the long run.

    Nebil Ben Aissa, Founder and Chairman of Indipaisa said, “I have always been impressed and fascinated with India; I have been investing in India since the early 2000s (more than 20 years ago), and I am very impressed with the social impact made by the partnership of Indipaisa. Prior to launching its services, the Indipaisa team conducted 30,000 question questionnaires and interviewed hundreds and hundreds of small and micro SME owners in order to discover the micro SME’s top pain points when managing finances. Now, millions of Indian micro and small business owners and operators will have access to high-quality commercial micro banking services at low, affordable prices; a true success story of financial inclusion and social responsibility empowering emerging economies in the Southeast Asian markets.”

    Commenting on the recognition, Narayanan Kannan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/narenkannan/), CIO, Indipaisa said “We are delighted with this recognition. This honors the efforts that we have put behind Indipaisa in less than 12 months. We have been relentless in our efforts to digitise Indian MSMEs by providing commercial micro banking solutions and will continue doing so by coming up with cutting-edge products and services that empower MSMEs. The technology stack of Indipaisa takes care of every type of transaction for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, Indipaisa AI predicts the micro SME’s cashflows, thus giving it a tremendous competitive advantage to tap into the highly fragmented Indian micro-lending market, estimated to exceed $380bn, while delivering growth and profitability at low NPL ratios.”

    Ever since the launch, Indipaisa has partnered with the local payments bank, technology partners, insurance, and loan providers to introduce various digital commercial micro banking financial services and products to deploy a FinTech platform that empowers Indian MSMEs. It is also a part of the Indian government and RBI’s digitized payments drive.

  • Technology-assisted Practice Platform for JEE/NEET Aspirants launched by IITians

    Technology-assisted Practice Platform for JEE/NEET Aspirants launched by IITians

    Two IITians with years of experience in JEE/NEET preparation launch a platform to lower the burden of books on aspirants

    September 3:  Abir Bhowmick (IIT Bombay alum) and Suvarna Kumar (IIT Dhanbad alum) have launched eduracle.com, which is a unique platform for JEE & NEET aspirants that enable them to prepare for the coveted exams in a more efficient and stress-free manner. Having been teachers themselves and guiding thousands of students to succeed in the JEE and NEET entrance exams, Abir and Suvarna aim to lower both the financial and emotional burden on the aspirants by leveraging technology through the platform eduracle.com.

    Suvarna and Abir believe that learning is a two-step process. In step one, a student learns about “what” the concepts, laws, or facts are. And in step two, the students learn “how” to apply the concepts, laws, and facts to solve questions. While there are several conventional and technology-based solutions available to address step one of the learning process, step two, which is the practice and application part of the process, is still carried out using conventional methods of solving books and assignments that do not account for the individual needs of a student.

    With eduracle.com, they intend to add a touch of personalization by allowing students to practice questions of such concepts and difficulty levels, which are apt for each student. This works so that neither the student wastes time-solving repetitive, easy questions, nor does the student get disheartened by trying to solve questions way beyond their current level of knowledge.

    “I envisioned an automated tool which can do all the 3 things that a mentor would – analyze the performance of a student, deduce the areas of improvement and provide suggestions to improve”, shared Abir. “If I had eduracle.com when I was a student, it would be like my favourite teacher is guiding me throughout the practice session”, elaborated co-founder Suvarna Kumar.

    Eduracle.com is now live for all students preparing for JEE and NEET. They are also offering a free trial for interested students to help make the decision easier!

  • Tidbits, a standout performer in the Indian E-Commerce Food platform!

    Tidbits, a standout performer in the Indian E-Commerce Food platform!

    September 3: Time is of the essence when it comes to dealing with food and beverages, given the fact that these items are perishable in nature. To ensure quality and also comply with regulations, these items need to be sold within a very short time period. Therefore, the successful implementation of E-Commerce in the Food Industry has always been a challenge involving critical logistical procedures. With the ever-increasing value placed on customers in the modern age, even a minor mistake can tarnish all of the reputation earned through years of hard work. This had been the underlying reason behind this industry showing a slower inclination towards adopting the E-commerce platform, particularly in the pre-Covid era. The global pandemic changed all that, with the Food & Beverages industry having to make more of a forced transition toward E-commerce, but this change has now become the norm, with most companies attempting to make a robust change in their operational procedures to cater to the needs of the industry. From the Indian perspective, the Food & Beverage segment will become the fastest-growing segment within E-commerce, with an expected CAGR of 29% by 2025, as per ‘The State of Indian Startup Ecosystem Report, 2022’ published by a leading research body.

    Tidbits, a division of LIMELIGHT INDUSTRIES, has been able to adapt successfully to the stringent needs of the digital platform. This has enabled Tidbits to provide its customers access to the tastiest candies, beverages, cereals and snacks from across the globe. The company offers its customers a simplified purchase process by ensuring access to all global exotic food items under a single platform. Additionally, all products are reasonably priced, and prompt delivery is guaranteed. No wonder the company is already the fastest growing E-commerce based global food platform in India!

    Parth Mundra, Founder of Tidbits, says that the success of the company is based on three fundamental pillars – Strong Adherence to Regulatory Practices, Information Accuracy and Supply Chain Efficiency. “We deal in more than 500 food products from 15 countries and have been implementing the strictest norms to ensure quality and safety of every item; this has prompted us to adopt a world-class packaging system”, says Parth.

    Tidbits use digitalization benefits to create a robust Supply Chain Management to increase efficiency at every stage, beginning with Inventory Planning. The completely integrated Online Sales portal has contributed to the process as the ERP gets bolstered with critical business data.

    Endorsement of all these efforts is coming directly from the customers as the Instagram Page of Tidbits crossed 10k followers within a very short time, with endorsements coming in from both celebrities and influencers. Parth says franchise requests are coming in regularly, but they will have the strictest selection procedures laid down for selection. Parth concludes, “We can walk miles to bring the choicest global foods to the homes of our customers but never take even the slightest detour if that comprises quality and safety!”

    The entire Food & Beverages value chain is recognizing the importance of adopting Ecommerce more comprehensively for maximizing the opportunities provided by the platform. Tidbits have proven to be a forerunner in enhancing their capabilities to get the desired growth from this wonderful platform!

    Funds managed by Motilal Oswal Private Equity, India SME and Motilal Oswal Finvest Limited invest in Simpolo Group

    September 3: India Business Excellence Fund – IV, a fund managed and advised by MO Alternate Investment Advisors Private Limited (“MOPE”), along with India SME Investments – Fund I and Motilal Oswal Finvest Limited have completed an investment of USD 66 Mn in Simpolo Group, India’s largest luxury and premium tiles manufacturer. Simpolo Group includes the flagship company Simpolo Vitrified Private Limited and Nexion International Private Limited.

    Established in 2008, Simpolo Vitrified Private Limited is the market leader in the premium tiles segment in India, is promoted by first generation entrepreneur Jitendra Aghara and is based out of Morbi, Gujarat, one of the largest tiles manufacturing districts in the world. Simpolo has a pan India presence with a robust network of 1,100+ dealers and exports to over 50 countries. Established in 2015, Nexion International Pvt Ltd is a JV between Simpolo promoters and the promoters and former owners of Emilceramica SpA, an Italian company established in 1961 and one of the global leaders in the luxury tiles segment. On a consolidated basis, Simpolo and Nexion are the largest player in the high-end segment of the Indian tiles market, with revenues of ~USD 150 Mn in FY 2022.

    Post completion of the transaction, the Group’s strategy – so far so successful – will remain the same. Simpolo and Nexion will continue to operate as independent entities; Simpolo is the Brand of Choice in the Premium market and Nexion is the leader in the Indian luxury segment.

    The Group will use the financial resources, access to best practices and the skills contributed by MOPE to capture market share and grow penetration in India and abroad, enabled by targeted investment in sales, advertising and promotions, and to expand the current capacity in tiles and sanitaryware, improve logistic and enhance customer service. Simpolo sanitaryware division will also expand into the faucets sector.

    Jitendra Aghara, Group CMD, Simpolo Group said, “We are delighted to have MOPE as our partners. Both organizations share the common vision to build one of the largest brands in the building materials industry in India. Over the last 15 years, we have created a differentiated presence in the premium tiles segment in India, and MOPE’s investment underscores the strength of our brand premiumness, product quality and deep distribution network. MOPE’s experience to create leaders in the manufacturing sector and the expertise gained from their real estate fund will be instrumental in elevating Simpolo Group to one of the leaders in the building materials industry in India.”

    Vishal Tulsyan, MD and CEO of MOPE said, “We are excited to back a passionate first-generation entrepreneur like Jitubhai, who has built a strong management team along with forging a strong partnership with Italian promoters, who have created the strong and credible high-end brand Nexion. Simpolo has all the right ingredients to be the most valuable tiles company in India in the coming years.”

    Luca Majocchi, CEO of Nexion said, “MOPE’s investment validates our thesis that India will become one of the largest premium tiles markets in the world, the driving element supporting our investment in the country. In 2015, we partnered with the Simpolo promoters with the shared vision of creating an Italian company in India. Today, Nexion is beloved by customers and architects alike due to the beauty and quality of its products, and this is reflected in the growth we have demonstrated over the last 6 years. As India economy and society continue to develop, we expect the luxury tiles market in India to grow exponentially.”

    Prakash Bagla, Director of MOPE said, “We believe that the luxury and premium tiles segment in India is poised for rapid growth, as the share of high-end tiles will increase from less than 10 per cent today to 30-40 per cent as seen in developed markets. Simpolo and Nexion, with their focus on innovative designs, superior product quality, widespread dealer network and brand positioning is well placed to capture this growth and become a leading building materials player in India”.

    Mitin Jain, Founder of India SME Investments said, “Simpolo’s management team has established a benchmark for providing world-class quality products at globally competitive cost-economics, which reiterates the ‘India Shining’ story. We are glad to be a part of this journey backing Jitubhai’s vision to become the most valuable company in this segment in India.”

    Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors has acted as an exclusive financial advisor to the Simpolo Group.

    Wadia Ghandy & Co, AZB Partners and JSA Advocates & Solicitors were the legal advisors to the transaction.
