Trends: An Intriguing Gamble In Today’s Business World

What was the most recent trend that your firm followed or adopted? Has it improved your productivity and earnings? As you respond to this question, allow me to share a few of my thoughts. Trends do not always equate to innovation. They often come out as inconsistent, aloof, and frivolous because of how they are presented. Companies develop a “bandwagon effect,” hurrying to follow trends that are typically not unique. Needless to add, the race usually ends in regret because of the time and money lost. The cause of this is that many businesses notice ideas too quickly but plan poorly to incorporate them successfully into their business model. Here, it is advisable to employ more analytical thinking to assess the chances of success while implementing new trends. This will undoubtedly save projects from failing. It will strengthen a company’s management confidence, boost morale, encourage more inorganic growth, and much more. While most people can put together a highly strategic plan, relatively few can craft a strategy that can actually be achieved. Take the last two years, for example. Companies of all sizes and shapes were rushing to go digital. But only a handful could have a strategic impact. As opposed to fully embracing digitalization, some businesses made more investments in bolstering their core business models—the decision was largely fruitful. The point is, trends are an opportunity that can change, develop, and alter the course of a business. But before incorporating them, it should ensure it has the resources to do so. A business should be distinctive and true to its goals, principles, and offerings, which distinguishes it from rivals. And all activities should be attributed to Theit.said notion sets the pitch for this enthralling edition, which encloses a band of dynamic companies. These companies have a fine balance between trends and in-house developments, which makes them preferred across industries. This time, our cover page features the story of Tradewind Finance, a global pioneer in the field of trade finance. As always, the edition will entail a series of in-house articles and blogs that’ll hopefully peak your interest in reading. If you’ve read this far, I sure hope you enjoy the rest of the magazine.

Cheers!

Cover Story Peter Maerevoet Global CFO and CEO for Asia www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA 10

H aving an international clientele can spell the difference between success and failure in today’s global market. This is particularly true for small and medium-sized businesses, also known as SMEs, since they are the engine of the world economy. Most scientific breakthroughs and business transformations are driven by them. SMEs even developed the vaccination programme to fight COVID-19.

Tradewind was founded to assist various market segments and sectors in ob taining cross-border trade finance solutions. The firm finances manufacturers, wholesalers, traders, branded companies, distributors, importers and exporters, and other businesses. In particular, it serves clients who have the potential for rapid growth but are constrained, under stress, or financially impaired when it comes to international sales or who lack tangible assets but have sizable pur chase orders. The firm can meet the varied needs of its clients because of its flexibility and capacity for customization. One excellent offering is the firm’s Non-Recourse Export Factoring solution, a trade credit-insured method of re ceivables financing that is one of its exclusive offerings to suppliers, manufac turers and companies selling internationally. The buyer’s financial stability and creditworthiness are considered as opposed to the banks’ dual recourse options – mandating that debt be repaid in case of default – which expose both the client and the client’s buyer. This results in a win-win situation for both parties and allows firms to raise sales by offering customers extended credit terms.

HELPING BUSINESSES GROW AND THRIVE

Everyone agrees that COVID-19-related disruptions have made this shortfall worse and that it will persist unless measures are taken. Private banks have been rather sluggish in updating their decades-old trade financing procedures in light of the growing digitization of financial and commercial services. While multinational corporations, or MNCs, are leveraging innovation to redefine supply chain efficiency and transparency, SMEs, due to their small scale, find it difficult to capitalize on such opportunities.

A GLOBAL LEADER WITH A STRONG LEGACY OF FUNDING CROSS-BORDER BUSINESSES

Indranil Roy | Business Connect

SMEs play a significant role in international trade, so the situation needs to be remedied. This is where Tradewind Finance comes in—a global leader with years of experience and promising services that enable companies to prosper through international trade.

TRADEWIND FINANCE

However, most SMEs are underserved and have limited access to trustworthy trade financing, which presents challenges to creating a robust global trading system. According to a report from the Asian Development Bank, SMEs are disproportionately affected by the $1.7 trillion trade finance gap, which is the difference between the number of applications to finance enterprises’ participation in international operations and the number of approvals.

Tradewind also provides clients with the margin and liquidity required to manage other pressing obligations via supply chain solutions that enable them to extend Days Payable without adversely affecting their financial position. The firm serves a variety of industries, including automotive, gaming, media, electronics, industrial & mechanical, food & beverage, seafood, apparel & textiles, and more. While its practices and products vary by location, they always make sure to fulfill client needs. For instance, while providing export factoring services for major South Asian export centers, it offers supply chain solutions for markets exclusive to large corporations. Its ability to finance sales made on Open Accounts (O/A), Letters of Credit (L/C), and Cash against Documents (CAD) is made possible by its industrial exclusivity. The firm has a strategic presence in various markets but prefers working in emerging markets that serve developed economies.

The ecosystem of global trade finance is made up of a variety of players. The buyers and sellers who make up this system’s core are primarily SMEs. 95% of all enterprises worldwide and more than 50% of all jobs are classified as SMEs or SME-related employment, respectively. They contribute up to 40% of the national income (GDP) in emerging economies. These indicators show vibrant SMEs are necessary for a robust trading ecosystem. However, the current market has made it difficult for everyone to get liquidity. And with private banks, the situation is far worse. With stricter and more complex lending procedures, SMEs face challenges to establishing substantive success. Trade financing firms, however, are more adaptable and can provide SMEs with custom credit options, as well as cash-at-bank, without related debt. Tradewind has been persistent in supporting the rapid growth of firms and has solved liquidity challenges for the last 20 years.

The trade finance sector is expected to increase to $1 trillion by 2030, and Tradewind is contributing to that expansion as well. The firm is close to financing $2 billion so far this year and is dedicated to boosting global trade. Its tailormade solutions have helped export businesses fulfill their financial obligations. With the help of its working capital injection services, companies have quickly seen considerable and sustainable business growth. The company’s team of trade finance experts gathers detailed data about and evaluates each client’s industry to provide solutions that are specifically tailored to address their unique challenges while fostering the expansion of their business and market.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO GLOBAL TRADE FINANCE

While being a forerunner in export financing, Tradewind also excels in Supply Chain Finance (SCF). It offers financial and risk mitigation strategies to optimize the management of working capital and liquidity in the supply chain. This includes import financing, inventory financing, and vendor financing. The firm has customized financing programs that bridge financial gaps across the supply chain due to credit-based payment terms. Eventually, clients’ cash flow is accelerated with immediate liquidity, aiding in timely vendor payments and expanding capacity to on-board additional business orders. Instead of waiting up to 3 to 4 months with doubts, funds are received within 48 hours after invoice submission. “Our products are designed to give businesses instant liquidity. This minimizes the time that is required to realize and receive payments from their foreign buyers,” explains Mr. Maerevoet.

SUPPORT FOR THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN

The firm has a wealth of experience dating back to the early days of factoring Turkish textile exports to Europe and the expansion of its global business 10 years ago, including opening offices in Shanghai, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The firm has created several high-end trade finance partnerships across South Asia, including Hong Kong, over the years. “We financed $70 million to clients in Hong Kong last year, and we estimate it to increase more than $100 million this year,” says Peter Maerevoet, CFO and regional CEO of Asia, Tradewind Global.

Tradewind played an important role in the recovery of GCC nations from the pandemic, especially UAE. The country attracts robust capital flows from around the region thanks to government incentives for investors and the country’s continued commitment to technical and innovation breakthroughs. The pandemic affected the region significantly, upsetting its economic environment across Food & Beverage, renewable energy, Information and Communications Technology, healthcare, and real estate, to name a few sectors. To revive the Gulf’s most liberal and resilient trading regime, Tradewind thoroughly examined the demographics and crises to create solutions that address the challenges and speed its growth. This was essential to drive purpose-led growth by navigating and predicting high-risk scenarios that could cause more disruptions and liquidity

13 www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA

The flexibility and tailoring have significantly helped in resolving the adversities of COVID-19 throughout the global supply chain. With regard to its clients and businesses looking for cash flow assistance, Tradewind has been more lenient in financing extended payments between buyers and sellers. Since the firm’s focus is mostly on tangible assets, it encourages suppliers and retailers to work together compassionately rather than take sudden, harsh action that could ultimately disrupt their business. Tradewind’s global presence keeps it in close contact with both sides of a trade transaction. Clients can also receive local on-the-ground assistance in negotiations and collections as needed.

REVIVING THE UAE TRADE MARKET

Theconcerns.decision to open up markets to trade and eliminate severe lockdowns and travel restrictions created the road for alternate financing sources to enter. Tradewind’s primary focus was the SME ecosystem, and it strived to lower the risks tied to global trade and balance the needs of exporters and importers. To help both parties benefit and support the hub of international trade, the firm offered domestic factoring in the UAE, export factoring, and supply chain financing services. In a time of extraordinary stress on supply chains, this helped to free up working capital and boost sales expansion for both potential and existing clients, which reduced liquidity issues. By rightly balancing technology and tailor-made solutions, Tradewind is able to address the unique needs of its clients while promising efficiency in the process. Tradewind takes pride in its Client Access Portal, which offers clients a clear view of submitted invoices, payment due dates for buyers, released payments, and a unified overview to continuously track business performance and progress.

PETER MAEREVOET LEADS WITH BIG BRAND EXPERIENCE

THRIVING BEYOND COVID-19

One of Tradewind’s growth drivers is Mr. Maerevoet, who has transformed the company into a strong, global player, well-connected to international brands and companies and a force to be reckoned with in the face of industrial rivalry. ‘‘ ‘‘

Tradewind has made proven progress in assisting the global trade ecosystem to recover. In doing so, it has helped clients realize the benefits of alternative financing solutions. The “Black Swan Event” has shown banks scaling back and pulling back their financing lines. This led to clients resorting to alternative solutions and shifting from traditional lenders. This led to companies filing for administration and suppliers seeking to safeguard themselves from protracted defaults using non-recourse funding and asset-light companies seeking collateral-free export financing solutions. As a recognized leader in its industry, Tradewind had a surge in business inquiries and interactions. Initially, it offered credit facilities, but as the clientele expanded, it also scaled up its offerings. In the end, it was successful in filling numerous cash shortfalls brought on by supply chain delays. In addition, the firm is actively working to assist industries in managing the pressures in cross-trade. Mr. Maerevoet explains, Due to the extreme imbalance caused by pressures in cross-trade functions, a sizable portion of the sector lacks access to customized trade-financing tools and is unaware of their eligibility for the same. We are planning to inform them about this and provide the resources they need to grow and cope with disruptions.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR SMEs, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

The firm offers better visibility and has more operational experience than its competitors, which makes it preferred. The firm also invests in its employees’ development. The firm currently has a global workforce of over 200 people and expects to add 20 people by the end of this year. As per the CEO, this will help in identifying new clients while strengthening relationships with existing ones.

Thelocations.company is eyeing opportunities for product development and geographic expansion. Mr. Maerevoet adds, “We are looking into new markets where we can make a difference for regional SMEs.” It literally saved companies from bankruptcy and allowed others to grow exponentially. And it intends to pursue and succeed in this purpose in the years to come.

He supervises the firm’s global finance team with an extensive background in international trade sourcing and supply chain financing operations from his previous positions at P&G in Belgium and Levi Strauss in the US. His leadership is based on the values of envisioning, enabling, and energizing, which drive Tradewind employees in their everyday work.

He believes in preparing the right vision, trusting and ensuring that the team can achieve the vision, and energizing them to achieve it. In comparison to competing entities like large banks, FinTech firms, and other global trade finance enterprises, this thought process has given the firm a competitive edge, especially in handling complex cases, and a reputation for providing quality service.

Tradewind is a symbol of financial support, standing tall despite uncertain events and disruptions. With persistence and conviction, it has established a presence in 14 countries across 4 continents. Over the past 22 years, the firm has carved a unique niche in providing liquidity to global companies with customized cash flow solutions. One of its biggest strengths is its global reach, and the company is proud of its multicultural team of international trade and cash-flow management specialists for maintaining it. Its effective management structure across geographies and constantly updated market insights keep it at the forefront of market challenges and demands.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA 22

In 2005, Mr. Patel was pursuing his Masters in Mechanical Engineering from Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. During this time, he witnessed first-hand the struggles faced by international students. And credible migration services barely existed back then. He realized the pain points and saw an opportunity to make a difference. This planted the idea of Aussizz Group in his mind. Even though he didn’t come from a business background, his commitment to purpose and steadily building his way through milestones helped his company thrive. He firmly believes in inspiring those around him to achieve the collective success that results in meaningful fulfilment. “I like to gamble on people who have excellent work ethics and are eager to develop into model professionals,” he adds. He likes driving a visionary mindset that his people can realize and imbibe positively. After all, skills can be taught, but it’s tough to mould a person with values. His leadership style goes hand-in-hand with his internal values of bravery, curiosity, openness to trying new things, and drive to succeed.

“Have a core value system that motivates you to achieve, and look for people who share your values. History reveals that a number of companies have experienced great success before failing. But building your success on sustainable values can help in creating a strong legacy.”

“Power is never the goal of true leadership; empowerment is.” Without effective leadership, a company’s innovations and resources go unused. Mr. Patel has always espoused the ideas of empowerment and setting an example for others.

Australia is in one of the studentfavorite destinations in the world. The country isn’t only known for its scenic experiences and outdoor activities but also boasts eight of the top 100 universities that offer over 22,000 courses across 1,100 institutions.

To date, it has served thousands of clients who have left a five-star rating and positive reviews. ting and positive reviews.

Mr. Patel explains, “We experimented with opening an office in the suburb of Melbourne and a second in the city. They bore rich fruits, and now we have 7 branches in the city alone.” Its way of working is an inspiration to its peers. Aussizz Group has become synonymous with trust and is an industrial leader, constantly putting up benchmarks.

DHARMENDRA PATEL-THE GENTLEMAN BEHIND THE DYNAMISM FROM THE LUMINARY’s DESK

The purpose of Aussizz Group was to bring about a significant shift, and while it has yielded a bounty of results, its survival ability has been the hallmark of its journey. Back in 2009, the industry was suffering, which further toughened the scenario for Mr. Patel. “I remember quite vividly having to struggle managing a business and surviving. I had made a decision that if I had to, I would drive a cab on the weekend to make ends meet. Fortunately, the situation didn’t get that bad” he added with a smile. Even though they were devoted to thriving and expanding, it was tiring, and going beyond borders was a tough decision. However, difficult times produce strong leaders, and this is what made Mr. Patel become a vital change agent who improved the lives of people throughout the migrant communities. With a solid base, he and his team are focusing on expanding their reach and exploring different countries. They want to keep investing in people and technology while diversifying their portfolio for a sustainable and more all-encompassing service.

IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS THAT WE LEARN

lifestyle

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA 26

TOO LATE

Also, Learning depends on various factors such as age, maturity, wisdom and circumstances. Everyone doesn’t get the same thing from a situation and doesn’t learn the same lesson.

You start to understand that your diet is more than simply food as you get older. Everything you eat and drink makes up your diet. It also includes everything you read, watch, talk about, and spend time thinking about. Even the people you hang out with and how you spend your time with them matter. Limiting your junk food intake is necessary if you desire a healthy mind, body, and soul. Healthy decisions produce healthy deeds, which produce healthy results.

4. PEOPLE WHO ARE SIGNIFICANT IN YOUR LIFE WILL COME AND GO. WHICH IS OKAY Not every relationship will last indefinitely. And, to be honest, not all of them ought to. The truth that occasionally the people who are closest to you will change suddenly is a part of life. On the other hand, strangers might also easily take the top spot in your life. Are the individuals I spend time with encouraging me to be the greatest version of myself that I can be and pushing me to achieve that goal? If they’re not, your social circle is probably not the proper one. Successful individuals associate with other successful people.

5. THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION TO EVERY ACTION Consider the effects before you speak or behave in a specific way. No matter how well-intentioned we are, sometimes HERE, WE UNVEIL SOME OF THOSE IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS WE OFTEN LEARN TOO LATE.

Life is uncertain and probably the most effective teacher. It teaches us at every step. Though, by reading books and observing others, we do our best to know about life and its functions, some things are still left to shock us when we get into the situations practically.

1. YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET IS YOUR HEALTH Health is a priceless resource that should always be valued, cherished, and guarded. Young people sometimes lose out on good health before they have a chance to realise its value. Because it just happens to be good health, we frequently take it for granted. We don’t really pay attention to it since we don’t have to worry about it... till we must.Take care of your health now or you’ll regret it later. The list of numerous, mainly avoidable ailments is vast and includes heart disease, low bone density, stroke, and several malignancies.

2. EATING IS JUST ONE PART OF YOUR DIET

3. YOU GET THE FUN. AND YOU ARE FREE TO DETERMINE IT FOR YOURSELF You deserve to have fun living your life the way you find enjoyable. You’re under no obligation to share someone else’s definition of enjoyment. You are only squandering your time by realising someone else’s fantasy. Consider what matters to you and how you like spending your time, then pursue those interests. Being true to yourself will make your life significantly more satisfying.

7. EVERYONE IS NOT GOING TO LIKE YOU Not everyone has to like you or even agree with you. Humans naturally desire acceptance, admiration, and worth, but not at the price of their moral character or well-being. You cannot receive the approval you need from other people. That needs to originate inside. Speak out, hold firm, be assertive, when necessary, demand respect, and uphold your ideals.

9. ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES Setting healthy boundaries is one of the most important life lessons to acquire, especially if you surround yourself with toxic individuals. Being around toxic individuals causes disputes, high blood pressure, and a bad mood, whether they are family members or co-workers. Limiting the number of harmful individuals in your life is necessary. In the long term, it will be beneficial to establish and uphold appropriate limits.

Get out of your comfort zone if you want to accomplish your most important life goals. Additionally, you will need to experience discomfort in order to make considerable financial progress. Investing your money is an excellent illustration of stepping outside of your comfort zone to attain your financial objectives. If you want your money to work for you, even if you don’t know everything about investing, you need to start investing early. A meeting with your boss to request a raise is another example. Even if it’s challenging, doing it will eventually help you reach your financial objectives.

10. GOOD THINGS ARE HARD TO COME BY You must put in a lot of effort if you want to live a decent life with a fulfilling profession, emotional fulfilment, and reliable friends. Luck can only get you so far; the rest depends totally on you, your daily work, and your capacity to learn from mistakes. Never, ever assume that someone else will approach your conflicts with the same zeal and dedication as you.

27 www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA people aren’t ready to hear the truth or don’t appreciate our effort. Each word should be used with care. These words of wisdom should only be used as a guide, not as a rule. You are the expert on your life, and you know what’s best for you. The morning, however, is a better time to make decisions than the night time.

6. LITTLE THINGS HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON YOUR FUTURE Little things you do today have a major influence on your tomorrow, including the foods you choose to eat. A healthy tomorrow results from starting your routines now. Saving even a small sum today will benefit you later. You’ll benefit tomorrow from the little things you start doing today in trust.

OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER Symptom & Treatment (OCD) health www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA 32

So, if you have OCD, or your family members have one. You need to know that there is hope. It has effective therapy for individuals with OCD.

• Concern for symmetry or exactness

According to Dr. Sabine, certain personality traits, such as high levels of perfectionism might predispose someday to develop OCD. Certain Environmental factors can cause OCD, including a stressful life event or psychological trauma.

Sometimes, in order to fulfil the Obsession, the person ends up harming oneself. Most common obsessions include: • fears of contamination • fear of having lost

CBT is a short-term treatment, usually about 16 to 20 sessions for patients to complete. The results are impressive - about 75% of patients respond to cognitive behavior therapy. Is it possible that it can occur again after the treatment? On average, 23% of patients experience relapses after CBT. It was initially successful. In that case, the people often only need to remind themselves of what really has helped them during their treatment. So, keep your eyes on your toolbox and re-engage in some of those treatment strategies. If an in dividual cannot do it on their own. They can see a therapist. It might just need a few booster sessions, and they will be fine.

Triggers are what is happening prior to OCD really starting. Symptoms are the obsession and compulsion that we tend to see in OCD. For instance: - A trigger could be something like a doorknob, and the Obsession may occur that if they touch that doorknob, they are going to be sick or their family mem ber gets sick. In response, they would wash their hands re peatedly, known as a compulsion. There are so many different triggers for OCD because OCD is known as a heterogeneous disorder. For example - A trigger could also be just seeing a person. And, the individual might have a sexual obsession, so the Obsession could be - what if I molest this him/her. The compulsion could be asking forgiveness over and over again.

But to your astonishment, this is much more than that. Ob sessive-compulsive disorder is a mental disorder. People who have OCD suffer from Obsession and or Compulsion. Obsession is recurrent thoughts, but they can also be images. Typically, these obsessions can cause a lot of anxiety a lot of distress. Therefore, the person who tries to remove obsessions. Or, tries to get rid of these obsessions typically by engaging in a compulsion.

How is OCD different from wanting to do a good job or per form well? Many people are neat & freaks. Does that mean they have OCD? The short answer is NO, those people - “neat and freak” really love and enjoy it when things are clean and organized. This is very different from actual suffering that’s associated with genuine obsession and compulsion in OCD. So, if some one is enjoying it, it isn’t OCD.

• Reaping something often But compulsion can be mental:

• Concern for sexual thoughts*

The exact reason is still under research, but Dr. Sabine Wil helm, Ph.D. (Chef of Psychology, Massachusetts General and Director of the Center for OCD) says, it may involve genetics and Biological, Psychological factors, and Environmental fac tors with regard to genetics. Research shows that OCD runs in families. If you already have one of your family members who have OCD, you are more likely to develop OCD your self. According to functional imaging studies, certain areas of the brain (the Orbitofrontal Cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, and caudate nucleus) are hyperactive in OCD. People with OCD involve problems between the front part of the brain and deeper structures of the brain. These brain structures use a Neurotransmitter called Serotonin.

OCD is a common mental disorder that occurs one-two per cent of people in the general population. It has two peaks of onset, 1) It may start in childhood, and 2) other one is in early adulthood. However, most individuals develop OCD before the age of 25. People with OCD might wait for years, before they seek med ical help or receive a proper diagnosis. This is due to a lack of awareness and stigma around OCD. As a result, it gets caught in chronic conditions. So, it typically waxes and veins, but it cannot go away without the treatment.

• fears of having made a mistake

How common is OCD (Obsession Compulsion Disorder), and when does it start?

There are two most effective treatments for OCD. One is Psy chotherapy, known as Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), which involves exposure and response prevention and the other one is pharmacotherapy, called serotonin reuptake (SRIs). Cognitive behavior therapy is a form of psychoeduca tion where people get familiar with their disorders.

• The team is driven by a strong philos ophy, culture, and vision that pulls out the best in everyone.

• Eumentis is process-driven rather than person-driven, starting with require ment gathering and continuing through development, deployment, and testing.

CREATING NEW FRONTIERS FOR SUCCESS WITH INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT

Mehul Bhardwaj Director Puja Bhardwaj | Business Connect

Eumentis Informatics is a team of 12 expert industry professionals with dedication, commitment, and a fantastic attitude.

However, you must learn from it to improve as an entrepreneur. “ “ “

Pawan stayed on this path after graduating and published some of his work in renowned journals. He developed his knowledge in Software De velopment because of the recent shift in the technical landscape. As a result, Eumentis was created. He is the inspiration for Eumentis’ strategy for achieving its goal of bringing tranquility into the lives of its clients.

DEPLOYING SERVICES TO LEADING NAMES

WORDS OF WISDOM

College graduates and lateral hires are both represented on Team Eumentis.

Consequently, a suitable blend is ensured to enable proj ects to succeed.

• Making use of the most recent tools and technolo gy and adopting a flexible philosophy to meet the changing needs of the customer

MEHUL BHARDWAJ, DIRECTOR AND CO-FOUNDER Director and Co-Founder Mehul Bhardwaj describe him self as a problem solver. Process engineering was his first pick since he found the scale of the issues he got to tack le to be fascinating. He was instrumental in setting up a greenfield manufacturing unit in his 1st job right out of college. He became the second member of Eumentis since he was looking for a new challenge while Pawan was founding the organisation. He ensures that Eumentis al ways moves along the course that Pawan has in mind us ing his technological, managerial, and operational skills.

THE SUSTAINABLE PLAN FOR GROWTH

Walmart Net Worth: WHAT FUTURE HOLDS FOR ?

Walmart’s Competitors: Costco, Amazon, Target, Rakuten, and Sears Holdings Corporation are some of Walmart’s rivals.

Walmart is trying to further its expansion by offering brands adver tising space in what it refers to as Walmart Connect as the traditional retail business model is changing. The growth of the e-commerce indus try and advertising have a positive synergistic relationship that will be important for driving future incremental revenue. In addition, active advertisers using Walmart Connect in the United States increased by 136%, according to McMillon-Walmart CEO, whose company’s global advertising business has reached $2.1 billion. Connect enables produc tive communication between buyers, sellers, and suppliers. Customers have access to the broad seller base and become more familiar with the range of sellers and products.

With its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, Walmart Inc. is a multinational American retail company that manages a chain of hypermarkets (also known as super centers), discount department stores, and grocery stores domestically. Sam Walton established the business in the nearby Arkansas town of Rogers in 1962, and on October 31, 1969, it was officially incorporated in Delaware under the General Corporation Law. Sam’s Club retail warehouses are another asset that it owns and runs.

In an interview when McMillion-Walmart CEO- asked about the future of Walmart, he said, “Social commerce, wearables, augmented reality, and mixed reality will be a part of the future for Walmart.” McMil lion spoke about how crucial it is to forge connections between these various goods, services, and experiences in order to wow the customer. Customers find it more enjoyable to transact with Walmart when there is less friction and expense.

The company will experience long-term growth if it adopts a di versified business model that includes financial solutions, health and wellness services, retail products, services, and marketplaces. Walmart is predicting a modest 3% revenue growth for the upcoming fiscal year, which began in February 2022.

What Future Holds for Walmart?

Walmart Net worth The net worth of Walmart is $ 550 billion as of Walmart2022. in India: Walmart paid US$ 16 billion in 2018 to acquire 77% of the controlling shares of Flipkart. The company had 21 cash and carry wholesale stores only in the big cities. The Indian government forbids multinational corporations with multiple brands, such as Walmart, from opening front-end stores on their own in the nation. For this reason, the American retailer formed Bharti-Walmart in 2007 as a joint venture with tele com giant Bharti Enterprises. They opened their first store in Amritsar in northern India in 2009. Walmart then expanded here by about 20 stores over the following eight years. However, foreign retailers are still prohibited from making a full investment in the business of supermarkets in India. However, foreign investors are welcome to make investments in India’s e-commerce platforms, which offer products from a variety of sellers. When its partnership with Bharti came to an end later in 2014, Walmart started accepting online orders for its cash and carry service. With the Flipkart agreement, the goal of having busi ness in India has now been accomplished.

When domestic operations resumed after a two-month break, the caps were first introduced in May 2020. The government had proposed seven bands for domestic economy class travel based on the time duration of flights. The plan was to protect the travellers while also averting a fare war. The band included flights that lasted up to 40 minutes and those that lasted 180–210 minutes. According to the regulations, the cost of a ticket for a flight lasting under 40 minutes could not be less than Rs 2,900 (excluding GST) or more than Rs 8,800 (excluding GST). This rule even applied to significant trunk routes. The lower band was floated to support the financially struggling airlines while the upper band was floated to protect customers from high prices. Later, on a 15-day rolling cycle, the ministry loosened the fare restrictions.

The removal of the cap will enable carriers to offer customers competitive prices in advance of the holiday season. After the bands are taken off, the price of a ticket will be determined by all standard factors, including supply and demand, competition, and airline monopoly.

BIG CHANGE IN FLIGHT TICKET PRICING

Airlines can now provide discounts on specific routes, which was previously prohibited by the lower and upper caps. On some routes, travellers can expect competitive fares, though carriers will still charge more on monopoly routes. Additionally, it is anticipated that prices will be high on popular trunk routes like Mumbai-Delhi and Delhi-Bengaluru.

53 www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 | Special Edition September 2022 INDIA

The average one-way fares on some of the busiest domestic routes have dropped as much as 31%, according to data provided by the travel website ixigo, for tickets purchased about two weeks in advance. A ticket between Delhi and Mumbai, for instance, dropped from Rs 7,587 to Rs 5,801 in the second week of August, a 24% decrease.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has removed the last Covid-related operational restrictions on domestic air travel, which were price caps on domestic airfares. This means that beginning on August 31, fares will be regulated by the market, with airline operators expected to offer competitive prices. In an order issued earlier this month, the Civil Aviation Ministry stated that the decision to repeal the price caps was made after an analysis of the current state of Theaffairs.airlines have been putting pressure on the government to reverse the price bands because they contend that the caps are preventing them from fully recovering from the pandemic slump. In its own defence, the government had claimed that these ceilings were essential to protect the passengers from having to pay a staggering Jyotiradityasum.

THE REASON BEHIND PRICE CAP

Furthermore, industry experts have noted that last-minute bookings of flights may now result in lower prices but it also matters when you travel. The announcement has been made at a time of low traffic. Airlines executives reportedly think a fare war may break out, according to one financial daily. If that occurs, ticket costs will decrease. As a result of less traffic, airline executives predict that prices will drop significantly at least through the end of September. In the holiday season, which begins in October, they do anticipate airlines to maintain pricing restraint. However, it is possible that airlines with a dire need for liquidity could still offer lower prices.

Scindia, the Union Aviation Minister, claimed in May that the high cost of ATF and other domestic factors had encouraged his government to maintain price caps.

AIRFARES NOW ONWARDS

The cost of tickets decreased by 20% for the Delhi-Goa route and by almost 15% for the Mumbai-Chennai route. But from a high base, the decline began. Airlines and online travel agencies driving the trend were looking to profit from the extended Fourth of July weekend. In comparison to January of this year, the fares in July were 25 to 30% higher.
