Our magazine believes in covering such efforts, not only because we know our readers enjoy them but also because we feel that no hard work should go unnoticed. Keeping that in mind, we are featuring Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital on our entrancing cover page. Starting in 2004, the institute has set multiple benchmarks for low-cost eye care in many remote parts of the country. Their endeavors, innovations, and projects are feats to look out for. We hope the story inspires you like it did us.
There is a famous saying, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” As an editor, I always work to inspire my readers through the stories I write, but what really moves me are the stories about enterprises that are advancing innovation for the sake of others. By this, I refer to companies focused on developing remote areas or low-income regions of the country. And the efforts aren’t limited to any vertical or technology. Over the last 10 years, our country has witnessed multiple organizations spearhead targeted initiatives across the subcontinent. Among others, digitalization has been a critical breakthrough towards helping the rural regions embrace technology. ICT solutions are allowing rural communities to access qualitative services by overcoming physical distances and road or rail infrastructure challenges.
In the end, I’d like to ask my readers to make small efforts that can actually change or transform people’s lives for the better. Remember, a simple act of kindness can create an endless ripple. With those words, I bid farewell.
Another area that’s an eyesore is rural healthcare development. Even though a complete technological saturation has yet to happen, there have been notable developments to look up to. During the pandemic, we saw telemedicine services foray through low-income territories as well as COVID care initiatives. We have hospitals with innovative patient care facilities. Tailored remedies for many fatal diseases are steadily entering rural areas as well. When I read about the companies and how their unwavering commitment is transforming and saving lives, I am deeply moved by the drive of the people leading the charge.

We sat down for a virtual conversation with both the leading faces and conversed on various aspects of the organisation to allow the global audience to get an in-depth view of the Akhand Jyoti Eye Hospital.
This non-profit unit of the Yugrishi Shriram Sharma Acharya Charitable Trust (YSSACT) has been well-acclaimed for being a secular, professionally managed non-profit organisation, conceptualised in 2004. Akhand Jyoti
Redefining access to eye care in low income regions of India AKHAND JYOTI EYE HOSPITAL
10www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 Special Edition September 2022 | INDIA
To address the need of stimulating an awareness drive across the Indian eye care landscape, a spark illuminated in Mastichak, Bihar that has turned to be a beacon of changing eye care landscape today – Akhand Jyoti. The mission was simple but adamant – eliminating curable blindness by delivering better eye care treatment to the low-income/ underprivileged sections of society. It started with the realisation that came to Mr. Mritunjay Tiwary who recognised low-grade eye care facilities across the poor section of India, especially in the state of Bihar. Since then, there was no turning back and with time, his solemn oath to provide underprivileged Indian society with high-quality eye care became more and more steadfast. In this endeavour, he was joined by Dr. Ajit Poddar who is the Medical Director and Strategic Implementation Team member of Akhand Jyoti.

DR. AJIT KUMAR PODDAR Medical Director
started treating people blinded by cataracts in December 2005, principally in one of the poorest Indian states, Bihar, and today ranks among the top five eye hospitals in India. To help eliminate curable blindness and visual impairment by providing affordable and accessible eye health services in low-income regions while empowering women to achieve this is their vision till 2026.
“We strive to provide affordable, accessible, sustainable, quality curative and preventive eye care services while enabling underprivileged rural girls to lead the blindness elimination drive. Though owning the reputation of one of the prominent and biggest eye hospitals in Eastern India, our headquarter, a 190+ beds eye hospital is located in the remote Indian village of Bihar – Mastichak. In the capital city of Bihar i.e. Patna, we operate a 35-bed hospital, 40bed hospital in Dalsinghsarai in Samastipur district of Bihar, 60-bed hospital in Purnea in Bihar, a 50-bed hospital in Ballia in Uttar Pradesh, and 24 Primary Vision Centers in Siwan, Piro, Gopalganj, Dumraon, Mahua, Dhaka, Kochas, Areraj, Bidupur, Raghunathpur, Paliganj, Begusarai, Bhore, Riga, Guthani, Bhabua, Chennai, Akorhi Gola, Ramnagar, Bettiah, Kursela, Ekma, Kalyanpur and Hasanpur,” conveyed the duo of leaders.
Performing over 75,000 sight-restoring surgeries annually, of which 80% are done free of cost for the poor, Akhand Jyoti has definitely added substantial value to the eye care industry in India. The relation of sight restoration via the Blindness Elimination programme is quite important for the economic liberation of the poor people in regions such as Bihar where the majority of the population lives at the low-end of the socioeconomic scale. Restoring sights definitely opens
better avenues to earning bread and butter that leads to social betterment. Education, health, nutrition, skills and assets, all led to human development status in any community where eyesight plays a significant role and hence, addressing eye health issues is extremely important to ensure the betterment of the people, especially those below the poverty line.
“Blind-free Bihar is the single-minded motive with our operations. For the past 14 years, we have been heavily active in Bihar and Eastern UP regions to restore the eyesight of the poor populations. We are relentlessly working towards becoming the Center of Excellence in the eye care space,”
said Dr. Poddar.
It is believed that Bihar has a 10x lower Doctor per patient ratio along with an 8x lower patient access to hospital Bed ratio compared to a developed state. Hence, under its Blindness Elimination program, Akhand Jyoti intends to enable an annual output of 265,000 surgeries (75% of which will be free) over the next 3-5 years.
of Bihar, it is facilitating girls’ education, skilling, employment, and empowerment programme, which ensures the much-required human resource of optometrists (locally known as junior doctors) forming the backbone of the Blindness Elimination programme.

• State-of-the-art equipment and facilities to offer high-quality eye care delivery. Measures such as this ensure high surgery success rates.

• Building the 1st of its kind Centre of Excellence (CoE) in eye care in Bihar, live by October 2023. A 500-bed, India’s largest standalone eye hospital of 173,00 sq. ft. built up area.
The special outreach programme conducted by Akhand Jyoti covers the north and southwest regions of Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh. This is in regard to offering eye care services not easily accessible to the poorest of people. With a strong outreach team supplemented by a large volunteer/community organiser base, their outreach activities are about holding eye screening camps, making door-to-door visits in villages, and screening children for eye problems at village schools – thereby combing the rural pockets to find out neglected patients. “We identify a district and its blocks for outreach interventions, based on geographical presence and coverage requirements. After doing thorough research the outreach manager chooses a spot - easily accessible with larger coverage of the catchment area in the identified block. However, post-COVID

THE USP
• The CoE will have an enormous infrastructure for various speciality eye services, with 11 operation theatres, and an academic and research wing. It will enhance Akhand Jyoti’s total annual surgical output to 180,000 surgeries.
“Each of the 24 vision centres of Akhand Jyoti is led by one of these girls as Chief Optometrist & Vision Centre Head. Many girls have done/ pursued master’s and/ or BBA/ MBA courses to further develop themselves. The girls represent more than 70% of the managerial and clinical staff at Akhand Jyoti. These girls

crisis Akhand Jyoti has innovated a new outreach system based on a combination of two models. Currently, the outreach team along with qualified optometrists following all possible COVID-safe measures makes door-to-door visits in an identified area to find out poor patients requiring free surgical intervention. Following the door-to-door identification activity date and time is shared with the identified patients, on which they are collated and brought for surgery to the nearest Akhand Jyoti surgical facility,” reveals the luminary

unique outreach programme, it still remains a considerable challenge. 80% of Akhand Jyoti’s sight-restoring surgeries are done free of cost for the poor. The revenue generated from the remaining 20% though helps in supporting free surgeries, is not adequate to completely bear the cost of free surgeries. This makes Akhand Jyoti reliant on external donations from individuals and organisations. Continuously raising this money year after year always remains a big challenge, till Akhand Jyoti reaches a ratio of 70% free and 30% paid surgeries, which would greatly help mitigate the need for donor funds. Akhand Jyoti believes in the mantra of “working where it matters” in other words Akhand Jyoti will never have its operations in a thriving metropolis, where there are other eye care service providers, and where the patients in general are better off compared to the ones in the rural towns and villages. Saying this, it is always more challenging to establish and operate a vision centre or a hospital in a rural area. To address this, Akhand Jyoti tries to harness certain local human resource and utilise indigenous businesses of the area where it ventures

Needless to mention, the sole priority is to comb out poor bilateral cataract patients whose blindness can be easily restored by a simple sight-restoring surgery, which could do wonders for the lives of such people. Finances and demotivation are the major impediments in this direction. Further, they do not have easy access to eye care in their geographies. The most prominent challenge in eliminating curable blindness is to find these hidden patients from the nooks and crannies of the rural hinterlands. Though Akhand Jyoti deals with this hurdle through its

overall condition of women in the rural and backward sections of the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, Dr Ajit Poddar says, “Such regions are amongst the most vulnerable and affected in terms of poverty. In a highly patriarchal society like Bihar, women face considerable hardships and discrimination. Social evils such as child marriage, dowry, domestic violence, low female literacy rate, and low female labour participation rates are rampant in the state. It is well documented that removing gender-based discrimination and improving gender parity is key to pulling up low-income geographies. In other words, empowering women leads to reducing poverty. And, this will ultimately lead to improved attitudes toward women’s overall health and wellbeing. By 2030 Akhand Jyoti plans to train 1,500 rural girls as professionally qualified optometrist to drive its Blindness Elimination programme.”

Furthermore, increasing the bed capacity is one of the greatest legacies that the institution wishes to create to eliminate curable blindness from Bihar. It plans to increase its current bed capacity from 375 beds to 1,120 beds by 2026, which would augment its surgical output
The leadership team at Akhand Jyoti has been formulated by bringing people from different walks of life/ backgrounds.

Therefore, in June 2019, Akhand Jyoti won the prestigious “Shri Dharamsey Nensey Oman” award conferred by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and Vision 2020. Moreover, the thought leadership portrayed by Mr. Mritunjay Tiwary has been recognised as the “Access Champion” by the Organization of Pharmaceutical Producers of India (OPPI) for his unequalled contribution to rural healthcare and improving access to the poorest section. Proving the accountability and good governance procedures ensured by Akhand Jyoti, it has

PEARLS OF WISDOM SHARED BY THE ‘VISIONARIES’
Well, all these marvellous achievements bring attention to the fact that Akhand Jyoti’s success is driven by its work culture. Every employee is groomed to harness the essential values of compassion, respect, commitment, and teamwork. Adapting these values allows them to go a long way in providing a warm and personal touch to every patient and improves the patient’s experience at the hospital. This motivates them to come back and also bring their family and peers under the hospital’s service parasol. Word-of-mouth advertising has been the key distinguisher of the hospital’s growth so far.

Jyoti believes in harnessing leadership skills from an early age. The girls who join our “Football to Eyeball” rural girls’ education, skilling, employment, and empowerment programme are trained in leadership from the very beginning. Playing football on the village field, at times even with boys, helps in creating the much-required confidence, which would go a long way in their career and life. The girls’ empowerment programme follows a system of mentor-mentee knowledge sharing, where a group of 10 girls are mentored by a senior girl, who reports to the Manager, who in turn reports to the Project Head. With time, apart from becoming qualified optometrists, doing MBA and other leadership courses further skills these girls, and become adept for leadership positions in the organisations. These girls represent more than 70% of managerial and clinical staff at Akhand Jyoti today.”
When asked to reveal future annual capacities that they wish to reach by 2026, the duo elucidated that the organisation is into establishing an infrastructure with:

Unimaginable success follows by harnessing the power of innovation and cultivating local knowledge while embracing new technologies. No matter what we do, human beings should be at the heart of any operation. Hence, while encouraging and nurturing local talent it is also important to attract professionals from other places, who are inspired by the organisation’s vision and mission. Learning is the key to growth, always ensure it happens at every level at various capacities, may it be in micro-practices or in trailblazing macro changes. Finally, values are the most important – for Akhand Jyoti, it’s the 4 values of Commitment, Compassion, Teamwork, and Respect that ensures growth and success.

SOPHIA AMORUSO THE FOUNDER OF NASTY GEL From a School Dropout Shoplifter to an Inspiration 18www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 Special Edition September 2022 | INDIA
Sophia launched her new business in December 2017, providing her audience of female entrepreneurs with a wide variety of editorial content, videos, and podcasts. The business also hosted Girlboss Rallies, wellliked all-female weekends designed to motivate and unite intelligent, aspirational, and talented women. The Girlboss Rally attracted women to the Knockdown Center in Queens, New York, in 2018 from 430 cities, 31 countries, and 40 states.
CAREER:
Later, she told reporters, “The company sold for $20 million in bankruptcy.” So, yes, I’m proud of it in the big picture of what can happen in your early 30s”. The only thing Sophia did to get over her Nasty Gal experience was to reframe the story. She also started working on Girlboss Media, a brandnew concept. With the help of this new business, Sophia would have a platform from which to address other female entrepreneurs.
19 www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 Special Edition September 2022 | INDIA
Sophia Christina Amoruso is a businesswoman from the United States who is known for her fashion brand named Nasty Gal, a women’s clothing retailer. It was recognised by Inc. Magazine as one of “the fastest growing companies in 2012. She was named as one of the wealthiest self-made women in the world by Forbes in 2016. But ironically, Nasty Gal submitted a bankruptcy petition later on. Amoruso founded Girlboss Media- a company that produces content for millennial women to advance in both their personal and professional lives in 2017. Also, her 2014 autobiography “GIRLBOSS” was turned into a Netflix original series with the same name.
Another thing that achieved great success was the book- Girlboss. She wrote a book called “Girlboss” five years ago, and since then, the hashtag has been used 17 million times on Instagram, the book has sold half a million copies, Netflix has aired a show called “Girlboss” in 100 million homes, and it has become very much part of the zeitgeist.
In some ways, creating a media company from the ashes of Nasty Girl was more of an obvious progression than a brave decision. Sophia had a bestselling book under her belt, a listened-to podcast, a penchant for media fame, and a Netflix series based on her life.
She has Italian, Portuguese, and Greek ancestry. She was brought up in an Orthodox Greek church. She quit going to school and started homeschooling as a coping mechanism for her depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which were diagnosed in her adolescence. She worked in a Subway restaurant as a teen, then held a number of odd jobs like working in a record store and a bookstore. Her parents got divorced after she graduated from high school, so she moved to Sacramento, California, to live a more independent life.
EARLY LIFE:
Sophia Amoruso was born to middle-class parents in San Diego, California, on April 20, 1984. Both of her parents held conventional jobs to support themselves and their daughters.
Shortly after learning that she had a hernia in her groyne, she moved from Portland to San Francisco. She checked student IDs in the Academy of Art University lobby in order to obtain the health insurance needed for surgery.
HANDLING BANKRUPTCY:
Sophia recovered within five months, despite losing the majority of her $280 million fortune when Nasty Gal failed. The fact that she refused to let the criticisms of what happened at Nasty Gal affect her is perhaps the most significant.
When she was 22, she opened a Nasty Gal Vintage eBay store, and it quickly became successful. Her revenue increased from $250,000 to $1.1 million to $6.5 million to $30 million in a short period of time. She had never even held a job in an office, but she went with her gut and created a really successful company. Nasty Gal was a community, and Girlboss has the same throughput. This brand spoke to women in a way that went beyond fashion. Selling a motorcycle jacket to a customer gave a boost to her confidence. She made a promise to herself to be just a little bit bolder in her life. Her being able to picture herself in the life she wants, being able to take baby steps toward achieving that, and seeing others who are doing it, is very much what she’d done throughout her career.
What do you do when things go wrong as an entrepreneur who rose from being a dumpster diver to becoming a megastar? You persist, in Sophia’s opinion. She posed the question to a Cannes audience, “How do you start over?” You simply stand up and keep standing up. In fact, Sophia learned of her company’s bankruptcy just before she was scheduled to take the stage at an event in Australia and talk about her successful life. How did she act? took the stage and told the story.
Amoruso led a nomadic lifestyle as a young adult, hitchhiking along the West Coast, dumpster diving, and stealing. She stopped stealing in 2003 while residing in Portland, Oregon, after being caught shoplifting.

INDIA’S FASTEST GROWING BUSINESS MAGAZINE
It’s possible that some of your employees spend a lot of time visiting clients and aren’t always in the office. It can be more convenient for them to base themselves at home, which also results in further time and money savings.
2. EMPLOYEE RETENTION HAS IMPROVED -
Working from home reduces the need for your staff to endure a difficult commute to work. Saving time like this allows employees to get more sleep, spend more time with family, exercise, or prepare better meals.
Working from home allows you greater agility and flexibility in work arrangements. Now that they are no longer confined to an office, workers may be more prepared and better suited to work flexible hours, including earlier or later in the day or even on weekends. This can allow you to satisfy specific company demands, such as trading with clients residing in different time zone countries.
1. AGILITY AND FLEXIBILITY -
However, ‘work from home’ brought its own challenges with it. Even though it was saving commuting time, it was also demanding more discipline and self-motivation. Effective communication which is a crucial part of any organisation was also missing. These challenges brought up a battle: Work from home vs work from office, which one is better? Let’s discuss it.
Because there are less interruptions than would generally occur in an office environment working from home, on the other hand, provides a calmer setting that can encourage more concentrated work. You may also discover that some employees would like to expand their paid contractual hours as they save commuting time.
4. IMPROVED EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING -
WORK FROM HOME:
6. CONVENIENCE
The world saw the horror of Covid-19 pandemic which forced every company, small or big, to get work from their employees from their homes. This led to experimentation with work style as most people found ‘work from home’ more convenient and flexible. The employees could complete their work while staying with their loved ones. They could fix their own schedule and discipline as per their likings.
WORKPLACE CULTURE 26www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 5 Special Edition September 2022 | INDIA
Working from home can help retain employees since the flexibility allows them to meet childcare obligations, cut their travel, and fit their work around their personal lives. Employee loyalty may be considerably increased if employers give them the option to work from home because it improves their trust in them.
3. PRODUCTIVITY GAINS -
Employers get the savings on office space, supplies, electricity expenses, and other amenities. Staff may also get benefitted from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) tax relief for working from home.
WHICH ONE IS BETTER, Working Remotely or Working from an Office?

4. PRODUCTIVITY
Collaboration fosters innovation, so there is power in togetherness that goes beyond just group decision-making. It has been challenging, and occasionally impossible, to duplicate this through virtual meetings. People’s capacity to form deep connections that lead to invention is restored by working in an office.
For a while, it appeared that the verdict on remote workers’ productivity was still out because of the conflicting findings of the data that was available. When it comes to making decisions based on priorities, it’s critical for employees to know who they are. For many people, working from home is incredibly distracting and full of difficulties. Returning to
Q.3- WHY IS WORK FROM HOME NOT GOOD?
Staff members can now stay linked to the office at all times thanks to the internet. Communication between co-workers and teams has become easier thanks to tools like Zoom, which occasionally can result in meetings that are more productive and efficient.
work can lift the burden of self-discipline and give readymade, simpler structures for completing to-do lists.
Over the past few months, a number of studies revealed that working remotely increases productivity more than working in an office environment. People who work from home are generally 10 minutes less unproductive each day, work one additional day per week, and are 47% more productive.
Working from home lacks a work environment. An employee’s life can become challenging due to a lack of motivation, which can also have a negative impact on productivity. Although self-motivation can be effective to some extent, it is not always sufficient to keep a man going. The employment of external motivation is then necessary in this situation.
Q.1- WHICH ONE IS BETTER: WORK FROM HOME OR OFFICE?
3. BUSINESS CULTURE
2. NETWORKING POSSIBILITIES
By working from home, employees can have a better work-life balance. For example, staff who would have had to commute can now utilise that time for themselves, laying the groundwork for a better worklife balance. Additionally, employees are able to incorporate domestic tasks into their schedules, providing them extra time in the evenings for leisure activities like loading or unloading the dishwasher or cooking lunch.
WORK FROM OFFICE:
Finding a balance between the two kinds of work is crucial for the future. The majority of businesses intend to break up the work week into days as the pandemic comes to a conclusion. They can take advantage of the advantages of both work settings by working from home on certain days of the week and going into the office on other days. On days when staff are in the office, brainstorming sessions and meetings can be held, and ideas can be put into action remotely. This results in a more favourable work-life balance that is advantageous to both businesses and employees and creates the best framework for work optimization in the future.
The calculated risk of losing company culture is one of the main reasons Google is enticing staff to return to the office.
People’s networks significantly reduce the people they only need to deal with when working from home, especially if they do so for an extended period of time. Employees can connect with folks they might not normally interact with by being in the office.
1. IMPROVED TIME MANAGEMENT
Making a statement like this when dealing with a tech giant where remote work is a very possible option should make all corporate leaders think twice. It takes a lot of work to create culture, and its loss might hamper everything from innovation and progress to economic success.

The office has a proper structure, which is dreadfully lacking in a work from home setting.

The time available to do chores may seem boundless when working from home. The workplace offers more enforceable and widely accepted deadlines and expectations, which can increase productivity.

In the hustle of modern-day existence, subsistence is now a daily fight for sustenance, and indeed, survival. While endeavouring to earn an earnest livelihood ensues, the demarcations segregating work and personal life are dwindling rapidly. Ergo, timelines & deadlines have become the new reality. These days, most are time-tested. Doubtlessly, an excess of anything stimulates repercussions in everything. Inevitably, withstanding such hectic work schedule tribulations weaves a dreadful web of constant stresses, perpetual perturbations, and endless anxieties for the one who endures. Soon, ramifications percolate down to the corporeal level, manifesting as a whole gamut of ailments - lifestyle diseases or acquired disorders.

There’s no debate to the contrary. Our interaction invoking inquisitiveness traverses reticent matters relating to the inspirational role models in Mr Mehta’s life. Nostalgic recollections about the remarkable contributions by family stalwarts unfurl. Fervid instances of toil by an ageless Grandsire, a sedulous Uncle with conscientious streaks, & a father’s expertise in merchandising, portrays the hidden benevolence encapsulated within a pragmatic exterior.

Incidentally, regarding the ordeals and hindrances endured during the initial days, Mr Mehta categorically lays the onus on substandard quality, quixotic pricing by rivals, apart from monetary enticements for luring their sales team into subversion, with the lamentable intent at sabotaging the reputation, earned earnestly over time. Consequently, their commercial voyage witnessed an unprecedented diminution in market share, followed by a glaring loss of revenues, not to mention the inestimable erosion of stature, leading to the abject lack of self-belief.

Even though, in these crazy times defining the parameters borders on absurdity, Mr Mehta emphatically articulates his eight-fold mantra for success in the realm of business1. In-depth analysis
5. Eagerness to learn and adapt 6. Touch
Harsh Mehta, heading Prova Healthcare is one such trailblazer par excellence.
Additionally, incorporating off-centre marketing initiatives, revamping the hierarchical structure, heralding novel technologies, re-calibrating managerial policies, foraying into the App-based platforms for greater reach, and ushering ingenious revenue enhancing stratagems are measures propelling their organisation towards commercial
4. Trust
Accentuating the urgency of extending the brand worth offshores, the unpretentious man promulgates the plan for turning the company into a global marque. Dodging the curveball on the initiatives of the incumbent governments, both at the centre and state, Harsh invokes prudence, offering a subtle response about how policy benefits are trickling down to ground zero.
Taking umbrage on the clarifications sought regarding female workforce equality, Mr Mehta fervently asserts that gender equanimity is a prevailing ideology of their corporation, embedded into the everyday functionalities, with apt timings, felicitous job profiles, adequate sanitation facilities, proximity hiring to avoid inordinate commutes, & remunerative maternity leaves as some of the criteria adhered to the Notwithstandinghilt.the
In own words, the forthright corporate honcho justifies the paradigm -shift from outsourcing production to a comprehensive in-house manufacturing unit, catering to the clientele with specific instruments, which are tailored to fit their requirement, as a much-needed perspicacity in the ever-evolving healthcare sector. According to Mr Mehta, incessant RD forms the crux in the therapeutic avenues, on which a blueprint of ingenuity gets instituted.
60-month inception, Prova Healthcare has more than 100 products making beelines in its assembly line, along with a cent per cent revenue growth in the preceding three years adding to the already illustrious cap.
Subsequently, a rectification of anomalies needed hiring employees from other professional spheres, implying rebuilding from scratch. However, providing ample cognitive leeway that fosters fertile space for visualization of groundbreaking ideas, undeniably, gets the unambiguous nod in his perception.
3. Painstaking research your instincts base with ground realities with the clients
Once in aeons, treads a mortal whose entrepreneurial brilliance replete with resolute tenacity, unwavering perseverance, self-abnegating zeal, and oceans of forbearance become the genesis of manifesting an entity, which not merely subsists but, transforms into a breathtaking phenomenon, for generations to emulate.
8. Avoid cutting corners, patience pays Without an iota of doubt, having an average annual turnover of roughly 7o million gives profundity to his words. Sagaciousness to incorporate laudable attributes is a sign of inventiveness, innate within those belonging to resourceful kind. Explicitly, the Head of Prova Healthcare estimates the importance of peerless marketing methodologies over product quality. He vehemently states, “Quality in tandem with frivolous administrative policies is a sure-shot recipe for ruination.”

The open offer consideration and Holcim’s stake in Ambuja Cements and ACC are valued at about $10.5 billion, making this the largest acquisition by Adani and the largest M&A deal in India’s history for infrastructure and materials.
The Indian listed subsidiaries of Swiss company Holcim, ACC and Ambuja Cements, are expected to receive an open offer from Adani Group the following week for the purchase of a 26% stake. In the event that the open offer is fully subscribed, Adani will pay close to $31,000 crore. The open offer received approval from market watchdog Sebi earlier this week. The letters of the open offer have been posted on stock exchanges by both Ambuja Cements and ACC. A cash offer to purchase 4,89,56,419 fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of $10 each at a price of $2,300 per equity share, representing a 26% stake in ACC, is described in the regulatory filing.
Adani and Holcim entered into formal agreements in May of this year to buy out the Swiss company’s entire stake in Ambuja Cements and ACC, two of India’s top cement producers.
The installed production capacity of Ambuja Cements and ACC is currently around 70 MTPA. With a vast depth of manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure, the two businesses rank among the strongest in India. They have 23 cement plants, 14 grinding stations, 80 ready-mix concrete plants, and more than 50,000 channel partners spread out across the country.
The open offer will begin on August 26 instead of July 6, according to a PTI report. As of September 9, 2022, this will be over.

Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has overtaken Bernard Arnault of France to become the third richest person in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. According to the report, this is the first time an Asian has appeared among the world’s top three richest people. Indian tycoon Mukesh Ambani and China-based Alibaba Group’s Jack Ma, other wealthy Asians, have not climbed to this height.
GAUTAM ADANI OUTRANKS BERNARD ARNAULT AS WORLD’S 3RD RICHEST PERSON, FIRST ASIAN TO DO SO
Gautam Adani is at number three on this list and his wealth has gone up to $137.4 billion. Elon Musk, who ranks first, has a net worth of $251 billion. Jeff Bezos ranked second and has a net worth of $153 billion. The net worth of Bernard Arnault, who slipped to fourth place, has come down to $136 billion due to a decline of $1.37 billion. India’s Mukesh Ambani is out of the top 10 on this list and his wealth is $91.9 billion.
Adani has increased his wealth by $60.9 billion in 2022 alone, five times more than anyone else. He initially eclipsed Mukesh Ambani as the wealthiest Asian in February, achieved centibillionaire status (people whose net wealth is $100 billion or above) in April, and last month passed Bill Gates of Microsoft Corp. to become the fourthrichest person in the world.
With a net worth of $137.4 billion, Gautam Adani has surpassed France’s Bernard Arnault and is now only behind US’s Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in the rankings.
