  • BEFYKAR – the one of a kind Brand

    New Delhi, August 25: Nowadays, in the competitive market, there is a hustle of many brands. Each brand is trying to make its mark by providing something special and unique. But the fact that attracts the consumer nowadays in the market is that the products or the services should be affordable and available easily. Especially in the clothing section, people do want to try sustainable products at affordable prices. Befykar is such a brand that keeps in mind the needs of the consumers and functions accordingly. Befykar, led by the Founder Abhishek Teri and the Co-Founder Shuvra Kumar Podder, is a Kolkata-based company. The company’s main aim is to give an option of an affordable garment to a wide section of people.

    The backbone of any company lies in the people involved in the venture. Abhishek always wanted to create his own business as he hailed from a business family. He was also deeply inclined to the situation of unemployment in the country and wanted to add to society by generating employment. As a result, Befykar is also assisting in the creation of jobs.

    Shuvra and Abhishek decided to get into e-commerce. It was a very new venture for Shuvra as he was a Company Secretary (CS), and coming into this venture would have him take a slightly unconventional path. Abhishek was from Business Process Outsourcing Background, so; it was comparatively easier for him. If we talk about why people would choose Befykar because of its affordable range and the quality of material that people would connect with? This venture’s primary target audience consists of children ranging in age from four to forty years. While we know more about the brand, let us understand why the brand’s name is “Befykar”. It is because it tells the people to shop in a tension-free manner from this shop. Befykar is famous for several other facilities like the delivery of products in a short period. It delivers products across India. Customization is the new trend in today’s generation. Thus Befykar provides products and dresses that are unique and also can be customized.

    For any new venture to function well, it does take time but, Befykar has been doing well as it has not only got orders from Tier I cities, but also Tier III Cities are highly involved in getting orders. Currently, Befykar is functioning just on the B2C model but will open a B2B model very soon. Befykar is becoming quite common amongst the people now, and when it was asked to the owners and co-owners what the plans regarding Befykar were, they said that “We are projecting revenue of Rs 90 crores by March 2024 and 150 crores by the end of March 2025. B2B business is also quite common in India. When asked whether the company owners would be interested in joining B2B sales, they said if things go right, they would be thinking of opening a B2B platform very soon. Several well-known brands in the market, such as Bewakoof.com and the Soaled Store, are doing exceptionally well. The initial investment for start-ups is a thing to invest in and is a tedious job. The investment for this venture is around Rs. 1.20 CRORES, most of the amount is invested in building the manufacturing, printing unit, and marketing team. Abhishek says, “We are looking to scale the B2B market and add more categories at the cheapest cost available and giving the best quality available”.

    Thus, Befykar is one-of-a-kind ventures which is functioning on different motives.

  • AIIEA Conveys Its Appreciation to Union Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal For the Recent Interactive Session

    Mumbai, August 24: The All India Importers’ and Exporters’ Association (AIIEA)  expresses its appreciation to the Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, for conducting a physical, face to face interactive session on 20th August 2021 with various Export Promotion Councils, Commodity Boards and authorities to discuss measures for enhancing and increasing exports. The exporters’ councils have thanked the Minister for introducing RoDTEP and RoSCTL schemes while requesting the Minister to increase the rates announced in these schemes and extend the benefit to other sectors. They also sought, inter alia, the Minister’s intervention in addressing issues of the recent oppressive rise in ocean freights and shortage of shipping containers. The Minister, in his address, has made it clear that RoDTEP and RoSCTL schemes were not incentives but are rebates and remissions of duties and taxes paid by them and hence are WTO compliant schemes. He noted exporters’ concerns while lauding the Indian exporters for living up to the name of being trusted partners in the world trade despite many hurdles and challenges posed by the Covid-19. Mr. Goyal appreciated the confidence and determination expressed by export promotion councils and commodity boards to meet their assigned export targets. He also congratulated them for putting India well on the track towards achieving the current year’s merchandise export target of $ 400 billion set by the Hon’ble Prime Minister. The Minister also congratulated the service sector for their outstanding contribution to the growth of India’s exports. He desired that the world-class standards achieved by the pharma sector be emulated by other sectors also.

    Mr. B. Timothy, Vice President of AIIEA, commended the Minister for the progress made to sign harvest agreements to be followed by FTAs with Australia, UK, Canada, EU and GCC countries.

  • One Life, One Earth And Just One Purpose: Conserve At Solecraft

    August 21: For decades, the ongoing debate between the guardians of the mother earth and users of earth’s resources has resulted in reaching an impasse. The growth trajectory demands almost exhaustive usage of earth’s resources while the caretakers of this earth, people who love this very earth, have been crying hoarse about saving the earth. This debate has given strong wings to the people who want the planet to be a better place. Now they are going all out to follow the principles of 3R. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. One such brand is making rapid strides in following these 3 Rs – Solecraft.

    The recent pandemic has made the world stop and notice what they have done to the earth’s available resources. It was a rude wake-up call for individuals when they had to work from home, which made them realize the hoarding of things they had done over the years. The founders Divya and Atul had perceived this issue a few years back, and hence, with the singular purpose of creating a need-based lifestyle, Solecraft was born. We receive from those who don’t need it, and we give it to those who need it. We receive old pieces of denim from people who do not need them anymore. We recycle, or as they say, upcycle, and create school kits like school bags, comfortable footwear, pencil cases, and other essentials, only for families who believe in educating their children but find it challenging given their circumstances and low income.

    Every time an average person thinks about helping an underprivileged child, Solecraft has already brought a smile to his or her face. Purely in terms of numbers, Solecraft has helped over 30,000 such children by assisting in their educational journey since its inception in July 2019. While you are reading this, the number has jumped a few notches already, and that’s the commitment to the cause we believe in.

    Divya and Atul, Founders, SoulCraft

    Solecraft is about creating a lifestyle where everyone focuses on bringing a smile to other people’s faces. To achieve that, we have gone that extra mile by integrating our operations backwards. We have roped in underprivileged ladies and women from the weaker economic sections of the society to convert these old pieces of denim into those magical looking school bags and other products. We attempt to find an unemployed workforce of women and give them a platform and a rightful opportunity to rise from extreme poverty and hunger to reach a life of dignity. We have reached out to Hindu minority women from Pakistan and have provided them with this opportunity to earn their living by working with Solecraft in creating these products.

    Along with these products for school children, we have also introduced a unique range of 100% sustainable and eco-friendly bags made out of the upcycled canvas. We have a host of women who are independent designers and contribute to converting these bags into trendy designer bags that can be used for your everyday functions and yet not lose the flavour of owning a branded bags.

    At Solecraft, the process of creating these bags is something worth remembering. A team of dedicated Solecraft members every day meet and talk to hundreds of people to encourage them to donate their old denim wears for this beautiful cause. Solecraft also runs donation drives at schools and colleges where students volunteer to bring their old and used pieces of denim. Collection boxes at Café, key societies of some of the prominent towns of the country where people leave their clothes. All the collected denim clothes are then washed with chemicals that are produced organically without causing any harm to the environment. Different kinds of pieces are then sorted out and sent to our production units, where the ladies convert these denim pieces into bags that make you look trendy and cool.

    Following the teaching of our parents, we just work with our hearts; the head follows. When we wish to help someone, the entire universe conspires with us to help those beautiful souls. Solecraft is not a company for us but an emotion that talks about sustainable living and practices it in every single step. Solecraft is a mission for us. We can now ship our bags and other products to all parts of the country and abroad. All our products can be seen on our websites www.thesolecraft.com. We aim to touch the lives of every single soul we can and bring them to adapt to this lifestyle.
