    Consulting and Beyond’s Capital and Growth for SMEs of India, a panel discussion with BSE experts and entrepreneurs to be held in Chennai at MMA

    C & B is organising a panel discussion with BSE experts and entrepreneurs who have travelled the IPO journey on “Capital and Growth of SMEs of India” this April along with Madras Management Association

    Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 1: The SME sector in India has emerged as a dynamic and highly vibrant sector of the Indian economy in the last five decades. There is an estimation of more than 63 million SMEs in India which employs a workforce of around 106 million, forming a key pillar of the Indian economy.

    With the path-breaking initiative towards bringing about a more transparent taxation process by the Government of India along with the Make in India campaign, the Indian business sector has received an impetus to boost the SME sector in the country.

    The growth of an organisation is inevitably a positive change. It also brings with it certain challenges such as handling and optimising resources like money, manpower, inventory, an adaptation of technology, etc. Such challenges have to be dealt with expertise and a planned approach to create a better impact and drive organisational change. While the business and entrepreneurial skills help in growth and innovation, financial and management expertise & skills help get a bird-eye view to understand the nuances related to return on investments, handling operational challenges, implementing new processes, dealing with human resources, etc.

    With an experience of 24 years, Consulting and Beyond (C&B) team supports SMEs in the areas of Budgeting and Profit Maximization, Inventory Optimisation, Debt structuring, GST Advisory, Valuation and Equity Fund Raising, Monthly Financial and SOP Audits, thereby becoming their catalyst for growth. The USP of the organisation is their courage to implement solutions at the ground level by bringing together the client and employees throughout the engagement journey, as reiterated by Umesh Golecha, founder of C&B, “Our work starts where other consultants typically stop“.

    Consulting and Beyond is a name to be reckoned with in the field of advisory firms to family-managed SME businesses. Founded by Umesh Golecha, a Chartered Accountant & Alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and Rathandeep Umesh, an MBA, certified business valuer and executive program professional from IIM Calcutta, it is one of the most successful financial advisory firms due to their innovative and solution-driven approach to implement ideas and convert them into reality. The success of the organisation’s client matrix is measured by high retention that is accomplished year-on-year and a huge majority of the new client through referrals from existing clients.

    Some of their success stories and testimonies can be witnessed in the form of scale-up of retail chain more than three times over five years; winning accolades by one of the clients in manufacturing for the best brand of South India through operational efficiency at their plant; several successful implementations of full-fledged ERP in tier 2 & 3 cities of Tamil Nadu. During the recent pandemic of COVID 19, the finance team of C&B has helped many organisations acquire profits despite occupational disruptions through a professional business plan and thoughtful fund management strategy curated to their requirements. More than 700 Crore of funding liaised through debt over the years along with the above. Valuation of SME is still a very nascent industry, and it will see its growth with more private company transactions and buy-sell transactions of family-owned businesses.

    C&B derives its strength through a strong professional team of over 75 members, with most of the leadership team being associated with the founders for a long period. Good team-building measures, strong processes in executing projects, along with periodic training of resources have made all these possible over the years. The organisation’s philosophy is rooted in their guru Mahatria’s reinforcement, “change is the only constant” that drives the entire team and makes them stand apart from other organisations in the Management and financial consulting space.

    Based on the history of success, C&B is now rightly placed to take the SMEs to the next level by implementing operational changes, improving their finances, enabling them to create wealth for their business through IPOS.  With Management consulting and financial advisory services as key offerings, C&B always looks for growth-focused entrepreneurs willing to create business legacies in their industry. As an organisation, they take pride in retaining their existing clientele portfolio and expanding their association with new ones. Their positive and pragmatic approach has made them one of the industry’s most sought-after consultants.

    Apart from the services they offer, they also organise knowledge-sharing webinars/workshops for industry stakeholders as well as for upcoming financial experts.

    They are organising a panel discussion with BSE experts and entrepreneurs who have travelled the IPO journey on “Capital and Growth of SMEs of India” on 12th April 2022 along with Madras Management Association at Chennai from 6-7 pm.

  • IRIA and CHS collaborate to introduce the first AI-based Covid-19 and TB screening systems at international airports in India

    IRIA and CHS collaborate to introduce the first AI-based Covid-19 and TB screening systems at international airports in India

    Read Time:2 Minute, 29 Second

    New Delhi (India), April 1: The Indian Radiological & Imaging Association (IRIA), in collaboration with Corporeal Health Solutions (CHS), a Chennai-based company that specialises in providing innovative, cognitive Artificial Intelligence-based technology to the healthcare industry, is proud to present state-of-the-art screening systems that streamline COVID-19 and tuberculosis protocols at international airports. Named CHOCO, this innovative product is the first-of-its-kind to be introduced in Asia. It was inaugurated at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (BLR Airport) by Dr. Pushpraj Bhatele, President of IRIA, on 25th March 2022 in the presence of numerous dignitaries.

    The enhanced screening solutions combine state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence and chest X-rays, and deliver results within nanoseconds. Various imaging modalities are used, and potential abnormalities that may not otherwise be detected beyond a clinical setting are instantly traced. This dramatically reduces the standard passenger waiting time of hours, and ensures a queue-free environment at airports. Additionally, the last two years of the pandemic have shown that existing screening systems at international ports of entry are inadequate, and CHOCO eliminates the time and cost issues that have so far prevented effective detections that can prevent travel-related infections in the larger community.

    Since the beginning of the pilot study of four weeks conducted by IRIA in collaboration with Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL), over 1500 passengers have volunteered and were successfully screened at BLR Airport using the new technology. It was found that interruptions to the passengers’ journeys were extremely minimal, with the entire procedure taking under five minutes per passenger. The results were accurate and promising, detecting communicable diseases even in asymptomatic patients. The radiation exposure was also found to be minimal. CHOCO offers a viable method for airports around the world to streamline their passengers’ medical screening cost-effectively and efficiently.

    Speaking on the launch of CHOCO, Dr. Mona Bhatia, Coordinator of the AI Committee at IRIA, says, “IRIA is a premiere institution in India and is always looking for ways to improve healthcare. During the pandemic, we observed the problems faced in the screenings at the entry and exit ports and saw the need for a solution that was faster and economically viable. Thus, IRIA joined hands with CHS, together with the help of BIAL, to come up with this innovative solution. We believe CHOCO’s enhanced screening solution will inspire ports around the world to implement the same.”

    Dr. (Major) Vimal Raj, Imaging Diagnostic Adviser at CHS, adds, “CHS is a health-tech company that is changing the way technology is being used for delivering healthcare and diagnosing diseases. We have leveraged our expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to create CHOCHO, thus improving the speed and accuracy of the entire airport screening process, which has become a necessity during the pandemic. Multiple trials across the country have shown exemplary results, and our pilot study has become a valuable case study that proves the viability of the product.”

Today many brands worldwide would like to reach out to their customers through an organic and non-advertising manner and this is where Promoty intends to differentiate itself through efficient workflows and advanced analytics that will allow both brands and influencers to make smarter decisions based on data.”

    In India, influencer management platforms are still in their infancy, with lifestyle and fashion influencers dominating the industry followed by beauty and travel. Food, entertainment, parenting, health, and fitness influencers are also on the upswing in the influencer list. The JV will allow Promoty OU and IMP Marketing Services to grow its footprint in India’s enormous market and subsequently into rising Asian economies like as Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, and Japan.

    LANXESS sales up 23.8 percent year-on-year at EUR 7.557 billion in fiscal year 2021

    Read Time:1 Minute, 34 Second

    Mumbai, March 31: LANXESS closed fiscal year 2021 successfully. Despite immense increases in energy, raw material and freight costs, the specialty chemicals company significantly improved its sales and earnings.

    Group sales amounted to EUR 7.557 billion in 2021, up 23.8 percent on the previous year’s figure of EUR 6.104 billion. EBITDA pre exceptionals increased by 17.2 percent to EUR 1.010 billion compared with EUR 862 million a year earlier. Earnings were therefore within the guided range of EUR 1 billion to EUR 1.05 billion. The good results across all of the Group’s segments were mainly driven by strong demand from customer industries such as automotive, construction, transport and manufacturing. Influenced by significantly higher costs and one-time effects, the EBITDA margin pre exceptionals was now 13.4 percent after 14.1 percent in the previous year.

    “We promised that 2021 would be a year of growth – and we delivered this against all the odds. We largely passed on the extreme cost increases to the market. In addition, we accomplished four acquisitions in the middle of the pandemic and thus massively expanded our Consumer Protection segment. All this shows the strength and stability that LANXESS now enjoys,” said Matthias Zachert, Chairman of the Board of Management of LANXESS.

    Significant growth expected for 2022 – Matthias Zachert was optimistic about the current fiscal year 2022 despite a further increase in costs. “We expect energy and raw material prices to continue to rise in the first half of 2022. Global supply chains also remain fragile. Nevertheless, we would anticipate further significant earnings growth in this fiscal year.” However, the impact of the war in Ukraine is yet unforeseeable. LANXESS anticipates an earnings jump in the first quarter of 2022 and expects EBITDA pre exceptionals to come in between EUR 280 million and EUR 320 million (previous year: EUR 242 million).

    ShortGun – India’s answer to Meta?

    Read Time:2 Minute, 15 Second

    Jeet Chandan & Vidhit Mehta of Shortgun

    March 30: ‘The best way to predict the future is to create it’ said Peter Drucker and it is this quote that Mumbai-based serial entrepreneur Jeet Chandan lives by. Jeet is the founder of a Startup Investment & Consulting Firm ‘Entremax’ which helps startups to build digital brands and also gives opportunities for venture funding. Apart from these two the other ventures this young entrepreneur has are Bizdateup – a business networking platform, Internkhoj – an intern hiring platform, and Vipani – a paper trading simulator.

    Jeet has been working on the final stages of his next venture ‘ShortGun’, with cofounder Vidhit Mehta. ShortGun is a platform that will lay the groundwork for a path to the metaverse. The platform is all set to begin commercial operations from May 2022. Commenting on the occasion Mr. Chandan said “We are excited to present a one-of-a-kind platform that may revolutionize the way users transact with cryptocurrency. Vidhit, me, and the entire team have worked very hard towards it. We would be launching our token, Shortcoin, which will be used to conduct all transactions on our site. The buyer will purchase a low-cost NFT and will be able to access the platform – which will feature various levels of interactive gaming and learning experiences. The more the users play the more tokens they earn. But this is not it – the best part is that these tokens could be redeemed and we will make an announcement soon about the details.”

    Ever since Facebook Inc renamed itself to Meta, ‘metaverse’ has become a buzzword across the globe and has caught the fascination of many bigwigs. The world is fast warming up to the idea of a virtual world representing the real world. It is a seamless combination of the physical and the virtual world and uses technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D imaging, and blockchain among others. “There is no doubt that Metaverse is the future. Early adopters to the technology have already made huge money and are case studies now. We believe education and convenience will bring forward more people to try and use digital currency and assets. It is all about perception. If people get an option to shop for regular stuff like fashion, food, and other consumables they would be more than willing to come forth and be a part of the metaverse. I strongly believe that people will like the varied advantages and offers that we have designed as a platform” said an excited Jeet Chandan as he signed off for the moment.
