One of his vines got viral recently which brought lots of lime light on him. Earlier he used to work as a watch specialist. From early childhood he was interested in comedy and this is why he opened a youtube account where he used to upload his funny videos.

Entrepreneur Shlovan believes that each and everyone of us has at least one such quality which can make all our dreams come true. It is for us to identify that skill and sharpen it so as to get the most out of our lives. There are and there will always be criticism and we will have to work on ‘how to face criticism’ and not on ‘how to remove criticism’. If you as a person cannot take criticism then it is something you should worry about because no one is perfect and goodness is in taking feedback positively rather than just being adamant.

February 3: As the CEO of multiple startups, Rick Mirza’s business role is best described this way: “serial entrepreneur and value adder.” Rick Mirza uncovers and facilitates equity opportunities for investors and partners. In the process, he often pioneers business models that pair capital with attractive companies at critical growth stages.

Mirza’s most recent enterprise, Topdot Solar, is a residential home solar and energy storage organization based in the East Bay San Francisco.

But to understand Mirza is to recognize that Topdot is the just culmination of two decades of successfully launching his own companies, and helping others build theirs. All his companies share an obsessive focus on solving problems, creating profit, and delighting customers, business owners, and investors.

Daulat Connecting Investors with Innovative Companies at Critical Stages Of Growth

In creating Daulat, Ricks Holding Company, which translates as “wealth” Rick wanted to help investors and equity partners identify under-funded growth vehicles. But he also wanted to support and finance those businesses needing capital to reach their objectives.

“I realized that my background in launching companies, combined with my access to global investors, was in itself a business opportunity. I had been doing this for my own companies for years. But there are many possibilities for investors to support vital, growing companies. And those businesses would benefit from that capital,” Mirza said.

“What both sides needed was a trusted partner who could connect and guide them. When I realized that and turned my own companies into a series of individual entities under a common banner, Daulat took shape.

Daulat now has offices in San Francisco, New York and Dubai, along with satellite locations throughout the world. This allows the company to collect the market-level insights that inform its investment strategies, leading to new opportunities for private investors.

Mirza lives in Oakland California He’s also very involved in charitable activities, serving as Director for HOPE and PakTech.

February 3: Demosthenes, the great Greek orator used to practice his passion for public speaking with pebbles in his mouth as a means of overcoming a speech impediment. Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who suffered from glossophobia, a fear of public speaking, noted “Of all the talents bestowed upon men, none is so precious as the gift of oratory. He who enjoys it wields a power more durable than that of a great king.”

Leading with a similar zeal and mission, NK Ratudi, India’s top trainer and coach for public speaking and founder of NK Rataudi Public Speaking Club India is helping many to overcome their fear of effective public speaking.

“I am on a mission to empower more than one lakh people each year through public speaking and helping them with the tools and techniques to express their ideas, thoughts, and views and touching people’s lives by speaking fearlessly without hesitation, nervousness and fear to achieve success in life,” said NK Ratudi, Founder of NK Ratudi Public Speaking Club India.

He (Ratudi) has organised a public speaking workshop where the participant will be given free session on February 5. At this workshop, participants will have a chance to enhance public speaking skills irrespective of any language or speaking abilities, expressing views confidently, sharing ideas and thoughts in front of the audience, building impressions on a stage, learning methods to connect with people, tips and techniques for grabbing the attention of people.

A lovable father and a husband of an awesome woman, Ratudi is a mechanical engineer with 20 years of vast experience in working with corporate multi-national companies such as Simon India, Jacobs Engineering, Dosan Power, and Bechtel Corporation.

Ratudi’s club offers public speaking, personality development, and presentation skills courses. This helps individuals in developing confidence through speeches, debates, GDs, PPT presentations, role plays, and much more. Individuals can also improve their English and communication skills through this.

Participants are also trained in time management, leadership, etiquette. They train speakers to express and impress in multiple communication domains such as Public Speaking, Debating, Inter-personal Skills, Interviews, and National Examinations including Project Work (Oral Presentation).

According to Ratudi, his journey on the mission of effective public speaking started during his stint with the Korean Multinational company, Dosan Power in 2011. The company organised  an event called ‘Harmonisation Day’ where he was given a chance to address the audience for 10 minutes. Much to his dismay, he could not make it and ended his speech in flat 45 seconds.

“I ran away from the event. That day, I could not sleep and keep on thinking why I could not face the audience. I could not go to the office for two to three days. At the office, my colleagues were staring at me, maybe they were thinking of the event where I could not speak well. Then I surfed the internet, where I came to know about public speaking as I had never done it before” said Ratudi.

“I went on reading a lot of books on public speaking and joined some institutes. However, I came across the Toastmasters Club, a U.S-based organisation where I got many awards and from here my journey on the path of public speaking started with a bang” added Ratudi.

After excelling in the public speaking field, Ratudi got promoted in his company and went on to join another multi-national company. During his journey, he knew there were scores of people like him who need his support in becoming effective public speakers.

Ratudi said, “Due to Covid-19 infused lockdown, I could not meet people. One of my students guided me to start an online journey in the public speaking field. In September-2020, we went online and started connecting with people to shed their fear in public speaking. We got astounding results and then I started my own NK Ratudi Public Speaking Club.”

February 3: Leaders keep talking about the VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity). However, the recipe for future readiness for a business could revolve around an entrepreneur’s unique requirements, views, and ambitions. Let’s consider SMEs (Small and medium enterprises) as an example. The mindset and mobilization of resources required to get future-ready mainly depend on the owner’s perception of the changes. Many progressive owners of SMEs believe that future readiness needs to happen on multiple fronts and is usually a multiprong approach. The purpose of this write-up is to share perspectives and provoke ideas to build readiness.

There are three crucial aspects towards building future-ready organizations –

1. Building a sense of purpose: It is essential to communicate the definition of an enterprise, “this is what we stand for”. But, more importantly, an employee needs to feel a personal connection with the organization’s purpose. For employees, this helps them to decide, “Why should I work for this company?”
2. Building a Value plan: The key objective here is to articulate and highlight “How” are we different from the rest in every aspect of our offering. The key is to use the value plan to focus the organization’s efforts and instil a sense of what matters in every employee and stakeholder. For example, having a strong sense of customer obsession can energize people to create positive and compelling customer experiences. With this plan, people are clear about their criticality in the mission.
3. Utilize culture as your ‘Secret Sauce’:  Culture can’t be a mere slogan, rhetoric, and a statement. It needs to get percolated to the whole fabric of the organization. Culture needs to be seen and felt by one and all. Besides having a clear “why” (purpose) and “what” (a value plan), companies that thrive in the next generation will distinguish themselves by their cultures—the “how” of any organization. Culture is that unique set of behaviours, rituals, symbols, and experiences that collectively describes “how we run things.”. Broad themes won’t cut it. Instead, behaviours must be made an integral part of core business activities and specific work tasks, especially for the moments that matter.

All the above need to get translated into a multiprong approach across the organization. The four pillars of future readiness can be broadly categorized as:

• Sales Readiness
• Customer Service Readiness
• Infrastructural Readiness
• Leadership Readiness

Pillar 1 – Sales Readiness:

Every aspect of sales team productivity, monitoring and measurement mechanisms, ways of reaching out to the prospects, managing the funnel of opportunities is undergoing a significant change. The digital world has opened a wealth of opportunities for salespeople. The entire customer acquisition process can be much more innovative and easier for the salespeople who are willing to use technology. Gathering information about prospects, getting intelligence about the stakeholders, using analytical tools, and utilizing CRMs build their effectiveness. Information is abundant for people who have a hunger to develop their knowledge. Virtual meetings pave the way for higher sales productivity; we just need to accept it more openly.

Reflective Questions:

1. Are the Salespeople leveraging on the advantages of the digital world for Customer acquisition?
2. Are the levels of preparation improving steadily?
3. Is the sales team’s productivity improving by leveraging opportunities coming from WFH mode?
4. Is there better alertness and vigilance about business opportunities?
5. Is there a willingness to embrace newer customer acquisition methods?

The salespeople need to do their self-assessment of the readiness to achieve better levels of sales performance.

Pillar 2 – Customer Service Readiness:

While technology is driving convenience for the customers, what is also gaining importance, is the “Human touch” to the services. The customers sincerely appreciate the timeless human attributes such as commitment, sincerity, and empathy.

Reflective Questions:

1. What can customer service (CS) teams do better to connect with their customers?
2. Is the customer service working with the desired speed?
3. Is there a clear understanding of the customer service process that creates a better customer experience?
4. Do we measure what matters?
5. How are the Customer service teams performing in WFH environments?

The customer service teams need to self-assess the readiness to achieve better performance.

Pillar 3 – Infrastructural readiness (Human Capital and Production)

Growing organizations need to build readiness to achieve scale. While there are pressures to meet current working capital requirements, planning for future requirements can be crucial for growth. Forces tied to successfully surviving the disruptions brought about by the pandemic have amplified existing challenges for many SMEs. Most common amongst these included concerns such as-

1. Talent acquisition and retention – Good talent may move out if they find their employees are not in a position to meet their growth aspirations.
2. Investments for building technological readiness
3. Investments for building production capacities for future
4. Meeting cash flow requirements in the disruptive times

Reflective Questions:

1. Do we have the readiness to meet the financial needs to grow our business?
2. Do we invest our resources in the objectives that can enhance our business?
3. Do we have incentives for high performers?
4. Do we cut down expenses that are not essential?
5. Are we leveraging the technologies that cut down the costs?

The top teams need to self-assess the infrastructural readiness to achieve better performance.

Pillar 4 – Leadership readiness

The willingness of the leadership team to bring the desired transformation to an organization is of paramount importance without a deep commitment to readiness from the leadership to design, develop and implement the mechanisms for future readiness, all the efforts to build enthusiasm down the line could be highly ineffective. Therefore, there are three things that leaders must constantly do:

1. Listen and Learn- Future readiness requires constant learning to help the employee experience evolve. Leaders should no longer use surveys to get an annual or bi-annual metric around engagement levels. It should happen in every review (weekly/ monthly/ quarterly)
2. Stay Agile – Organizations need to respond to changes in their environment, both internally and externally, to be future-ready
3. Innovate – Use your employee feedback to help you design future strategies

Reflective Questions:

1. Do we conduct regular reviews?
2. Do we listen to our employees during our reviews?
3. Do we implement some good suggestions shared by employees?
4. Do we have motivating incentives for high performers?
5. Are we building a leadership pipeline steadily?

As Ken Blanchard says, “The greatest leaders mobilize others by coalescing people around a shared vision”.

In my view, the critical requirement for business leaders is to ensure that there is enough appetite for learning from disruptive changes, build grace to accept changes and remain agile.

February 3: The eCommerce business industry has proven its pivotal role in the Indian economy in the past few years. As a result, a number of business owners are considering this to be the perfect time to begin their eCommerce businesses due to its endless profit-making opportunities. Companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal all have shown us the true potential of eCommerce in the country. However, eCommerce companies require end-to-end logistics support to offer customers a hassle-free shipping experience. BICREE is an AI-powered logistics partner that delivers complete shipment transparency to online sellers and business owners.

In 2020, Pranay Thakkar, Aniket Nagda, and Abhijeet Singh founded BICREE with an aim to build a tech-enabled logistics eco-system that can provide the most beneficial shipping services to eCommerce merchants. They seek to empower online merchants with ease of shipping, reduced RTOs, real-time NDR updates. BICREE brings India’s top courier partners on its platform so that the online merchants can pick the most appropriate shipping partner as per their shipment requirements.

At BICREE, Pranay, Aniket & Abhijeet handle all the aspects of business operations. Their foundation story goes back to the time when the three started their E-commerce brand for apparel four years back & realized that online merchants entrust their market reputation with third-party courier partners. They understood that despite knowing the in-and-out of their business, the online sellers do not have much control when it comes to the delivery of products. The sellers would be fortunate enough if they can track down a good courier partner for their shipping needs. Based on their learning, they came up with the idea of developing a tech-enabled logistics platform called ‘BICREE’ to address the shipping issues of sellers.

Along with other remarkable features and benefits like the low shipping rates, zero subscription cost, store integration, top courier options, serviceability to 27000+ pin codes, real-time NDR updates, reduced RTO, shipping calculator, BICREE has introduced an AI-powered fraud detection system that helps the sellers reduce fake orders and save money on RTOs.

Delayed COD settlement is a major issue that sellers have to face very often in their lifetime. Waiting for months for COD settlements not only disrupts the cash flow but also impacts the operational efficiency of the businesses. BICREE promises quick COD remittance which helps sellers to manage their cash flow optimally. The company is well-equipped to ensure quick deliveries minimizing the RTO. BICREE’s multiple courier option allows online merchants to deliver products in the fastest possible time with India’s leading national and local courier partners like Delhivery, Xpressbees, Udaan Xpress, Shadowfax, and others. It, in fact, reduces the RTO by up to 40%*.

With BICREE, merchants can create a free account and access the low shipping rates starting at 20/500gm* to help online sellers with cheaper and faster deliveries every time. By using its shipping rate calculator, online merchants can check each courier partner’s freight rate to make an informed decision for each shipment. And, with its quick plug-and-play integration feature, sellers can ship the orders directly from their online stores like Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and many more.

BICREE is now planning to introduce its PAN INDIA fulfilment Services, franchise network and many more as a part of their business expansion strategy. The PAN INDIA fulfilment services will assist online sellers in reducing their delivery timelines and shipping costs by up to 50%* by storing the inventory near to their customers. On the other hand, by becoming BICREE’s franchisee, small retail shop owners will be able to add another source of income to their existing revenue without investing.

BICREE is focused on becoming a full-stack eCommerce enabler following their expansion in segments like pre-purchase, post-purchase and warehousing. This will help the eCommerce players to go all-in with BICREE’s support and stay without any concern. Bicree aims at creating a network of the brands associated with them and building an ecosystem where they can lead to expansion towards P2P and make the brands help each other in all aspects.
