Editor’s Note Vikas Jha Editor | Vikas@businessconnectindia.in
What is the ideal way to assess a nation’s progress? For every individual, there may be one or more utopian state of mind to define the well-being of a country. For some, it may pertain to the big GDP numbers. At the same time, for many others, it may coincide with the lavish lifestyle of the citizens. Then, there comes a different breed of people who gives impetus to innovation, ideas and revolution. We come across a number of such people who never stop chasing their dreams despite being low on pennies. They are driven by a deep perseverance; believe in vision and a rock-solid attitude. In 21st century, India has emerged as the new epitome of Silicon Valley for its brand new startup culture. This is for sure one of the reasons why it is becoming an ideal place for young believers and innovators. The new age entrepreneurs are passionate about their goals more than anything else. “Chase the vision, not the money; the money will end up following you.” –Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO They barely worry about money, what matters to them the most is their vision for which they are ready to go that extra mile. They prepare themselves for the imminent hardships, hindrances and failures in advance because they are well aware that all those are part & parcel to the path of success. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan, NBA Legendary Basketball MVP For a startup, it is very crucial to fathom that they have nothing to lose. They either achieve or learn. They need hard work paired with dedication bring excellence. “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” –Steve Jobs, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO, Apple What differentiates them from other is the well-planned execution of the idea that their competitors cannot. “Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not.” –Michael Dell, Dell Chairman and CEO Not only this, they are hardly bothered about failures. What they are bothered about is the regret they might have if they do not try what they wish to. “I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.” – Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder and CEO “You shouldn’t focus on why you can’t do something, which is what most people do. You should focus on why perhaps you can, and be one of the exceptions.” –Steve Case, AOL Co-Founder and CEO There are a whole lot of companies who are busy changing the perception of people about India by their deep desire to make India a global hub of ideas and innovations. We at Business Connect feel proud of featuring such companies in our latest issue “Startup of the year”. So, get ready to see the new face of India. Happy reading!!!

CARBANIO PIONEERING A REVOLUTION IN DIGITAL B2B TRADE OF CHEMICALS Yashasvi Khushu | Business Connect With a vision to become the world’s largest B2B online marketplace for the chemical industry, Carbanio.com is rapidly pacing towards buying and selling of chemicals to strengthen the relationship between academia and industry for research & innovation. The visionary, Dr. Rafi Shaik, Founder, and Chief Scientific Officer actively looked to digitally route the complete process of the buyer raising a request for acquiring chemicals to the seller furnishing the goods a few weeks later in a few easy steps through Carbanio. For a number of industries, going digital has proven to be a blessing in terms of sale growth and soaring revenue in the last two decades. But if we dig deep for the chemical and the procurement industry, the market has not seen much of a change, stagnation has prevailed for a while now. In a country like ours, where the internet has taken over the market hugely, it’s unfair to be dealing with such a tedious process to procure chemicals through an overriding and long drawn trade of chemicals. Carbanio is just the solution to this problem. It is the first B2B marketplace that supports both the Chemical industry and Academia to reinforce research & innovation. It is a digital revolution in the industry of buying and selling chemicals.
Their firm belief has introduced a service to the industry that would solve the problem of buying chemical products from a number of sellers without going through any hassle. At Carbanio, a team of professionals is working towards the issues at hand aggressively and is encouraging a digitized route for all the buyers and sellers to make the process comprehensive.
Dr. Rafi Shaik, Founder, and Chief Scientific Officer, in conversation with Business Connect Magazine, gives us an insight into his venture,
Business Connect: Tell us a bit about the coWmpany including its services. Dr. Rafi Shaik: Carbanio is an online B2B Marketplace for Chemicals which has created convenience to Businesses and Academia to buy ready stock of Chemicals from multiple sellers and ensure delivery of the product at their doorstep.
Business Connect: How and why did you decide to create it? Dr. Rafi Shaik: While pursuing Masters and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, it was a daunting task to buy Chemicals for research. To procure chemical, it used to take weeks to months as there is no information available with us about who sells and whether they have stock of that chemical or not. Even our professors had a tough time in finding chemicals to continue research. I have struggled a lot to do my research due to non-availability of Chemicals. Normally it takes 4yrs to complete Ph. D. but it took me almost 6 years due to the constant non-availability. After completing my Ph.D., I left for Taiwan to do PostDoctoral research and I saw the same issue of non-availability of Chemicals. When I joined pharma companies in India, the trend of non-availability of Chemicals continued and this enormously impacts research in India. This problem pushed me to do something in 2015 which will help researchers like me to know where we can find ready stock of chemicals so that as a researcher I can contact the supplier immediately and buy chemicals.

Being from a non-technology background, little was my knowledge and know-how on how to build a site. I tried using known channels to develop a website, but it did not work well as there are no websites which I can refer to and technology people do not know anything about Chemicals or Chemical Industry.
After multiple iterations; in 2017 I was introduced to Vijay Devarakonda by a common contact. We sat together brainstormed for hours on the problem of buying Chemicals. Since he is not from Chemistry background, initially he did not believe and he did his own research on the internet and then finally concluded that yes, it is worth solving this problem.
After struggling for months, we have finally launched our platform naming it as Carbanio which means Carbon in the Italian language.
Business Connect: What problem does your company solve and how are you different from others in the field? Global market size of Chemical Industry is 4.5 trillion US$ and in India it is 180 Billion US$. Though the market is huge, unfortunately, this Industry is not yet digitized and India does not have its own marketplace for Chemicals. There are few listing sites for Chemicals and they belong to China.Companies in India used those listing sites as an online media to reach buyers by paying a premium and likewise buyers. Listing sites did help a little to the businesses, but the time taken to procure chemical remained the same which is weeks to months.
Initially, my intention was to launch only a site which will display ready stock of Chemicals and the seller’s name so that the interested buyer can contact offline and buy chemicals. But after continuous discussions with our users, we have decided to launch an end-to-end marketplace which is an aggregator which not only displays ready stock of chemicals, but also the buyer can make payment on the platform and we will deliver the Chemical to their doorstep. Since I have already burnt too much money and time in trying to build the site, we have decided to build a platform which meets 3 main features which will help us in understanding the market reaction and get user feedback i.e. Display ready stock of Chemicals, Payment Gateway and Pickup from Seller and Deliver to the Buyer. Though these 3 features sound simple, these are the most complex ones which we have built till date. When we talk to the sellers, initially they were not ready to partner with us as they did not believe in online business, payment gateway partners did not support initially as there is no referential platform which is similar to Carbanio and logistics partners were not ready as they do not know how their business model works for chemicals. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 1 | Yearly Edition February 2019 INDIA
[ 12 ]
We wanted to remove the hurdle of enquiring and receiving quotations which is a traditional method of procuring chemicals. We want to digitize the entire process of buying and selling which not only helps buyers in procuring ready stock, but also scales the sales of chemicals and enables the supplier to do business 24/7.
Business Connect: How challenging is it to run a startup in an atmosphere of cut-throat competition in the market? Dr. Rafi Shaik: Fortunately there are no direct competitors as this industry is niche. We have other challenges as a startup which will remain a challenge for a couple of more years like changing the mindset of both Buyers and Sellers.
Business Connect: What is
your current business model? Dr. Rafi Shaik: Carbanio.com is a B2B Marketplace wherein we have 2 types of Customers – Businesses and Academia. Businesses can do both selling and buying, whereas Academia can only buy Chemicals. Businesses, based on their inventory, they can publish their stock as New, Discounted and Free Chemicals, wherein Free Chemicals can be procured only by Academia. Unlike the listing sites, Carbanio.com strictly allows ready stock of Chemicals to be published by the Businesses. No individual can buy Chemicals from Carbanio unless the registration is as per government compliance. We wanted to make our platform as free as possible just like other B2C marketplaces. We do not charge any fees to neither the seller nor buyer to register in Carbanio.com. We charge only when a sale happens.
Business Connect: Who are your clients? Dr. Rafi Shaik: Our clientele list is long, we have more than 20 Universities and 3500 businesses which buy Chemicals from Carbanio.com
Business Connect: What kind of change do you want to bring with your products/ services? Dr. Rafi Shaik: We strongly believe that Chemical industry needs a service that would help buyers of chemicals procure products from multiple sellers without much hassle. We want to offer a unique experience to customers, something that will enable all the parties in the industry (buyers and sellers) digitize their sourcing process. Businesses and Academia can buy ready stock of chemicals from 1mg to a ton without any hassle. We want India to become self-sustainable in chemicals by leveraging Carbanio.

Business Connect: Is hiring a tough task for startup companies? How do you cope up with this obstacle? Dr. Rafi Shaik: Yes absolutely. As every startup faces hiring challenges, we also face the same. Most of the candidates look for corporate companies which are stable and have a brand image in the market.
We hire based on their experience and capabilities rather than educational qualifications. We do not negotiate with a candidate and we ensure they are offered as per market standards. This helps us in hiring quality and experienced professionals. Business Connect: How optimistic are you about the investments? Are you looking for any? Dr. Rafi Shaik: B2B segment is now growing. Quite a few B2B startups have raised funding. This proves that investors are positive in diversifying their funds. Yes, we are planning to raise funds which will help us in growing and expanding further.
buyers choose what suits their requirements the best and at the same time get the access to order it from multiple sellers, all under one roof. Quality is at the topmost priority, hence the buyer can be sure about the chemical purity and also compare the prices at the same time. The only kind of chemicals you will see available online that are in stock with the sellers, ensuring that there is no waiting period for the buyer in regard to any product. Here you will be at the fancy to receive the product at your doorstep, canceling out on the worries of shipping and delivery. This virtual wonder is not just for the buyers, even the sellers can avail the services of a true sourcing partner for small and bulk quantity chemicals. If you are a seller, your access would be to a greater number of consumers with constant feedback for improvement. The revenue and business experience an immediate boom with a shorter buying route resulting in an increase in volume. Carbanio promises transparency for both buyer and seller a platform that can be trusted for a global network with massive reach. Their will to continuously develop and research has strengthened the industry, they also encourage a number of industries to offer chemicals that are of no use to them, to the institutions for research at zero cost. This will not just benefit the students but also the professionals from the industry to develop a mutually beneficial relationship to help the industry move forward in sync and harmony. Dr. Rafi Shaik and Mr. Vijay Devarakonda have efficiently arranged transparent pricing for buyers to take quick and effective decisions. Regardless of what the size of the company is, it’ll be treated equally. They have developed an opportunity to flourish for the buyer, seller, scientist, and the academia, introducing ample employment opportunity in the picture. Carbanion is ‘one stop shop’ for all your chemical shopping needs from specialty, agro, pharma, basic and catalogue chemicals to chemicals in bulk or for research. Avoid delivery delays and let go of searching vendors, serve all your chemical needs at competitive prices on this digital platform with an assurance of delivery at your doorstep.
Business Connect: what are your future plans? Dr. Rafi Shaik: By the end of 2019, we will be launching Carbanio.com internationally which will help buyers across 193 countries to buy Chemicals from Indian manufacturers and suppliers. The aim at Carbanio is to form an easy channel for
World’s first platform to buy chemicals online, Carbanio.com, is bringing academic institutions and chemical industries together boosting a strong bond and chemical donations.

The manufacturing of pallets by the company conforms to stringent quality guidelines in its own manufacturing unit. This guarantees a uniform pallet standard. The fundamental idea of a uniform norm is to have a complete inter-changeability of the same products during production, handling and transportation. The process of the company ensures that every phase of fabrication of pallets is properly performed, inspected and documented as per the industry standards or client specifications. Fabrication is carried out by highly skilled and experienced technicians. In the wake of globalization, the importance of logistics is increasing. This can be attributed to the fact that more and more national and multi-national companies are sourcing, manufacturing and distributing their products and services on a global scale. Thus, the recognition of performance of logistics industry would become prime importance of economic development for India in long term. The Indian logistic industry has been gaining traction, with e-commerce penetration, economy revival, proposed GST implementation and government initiatives like “Make in India”, National Integrated Logistic Policy, 100% FDI in warehouses and food storage facilities, etc.
Crucial to logistics industry
Furthermore, with respect to India’s GDP growth, the logistics industry is expected to grow at 1-1.5x as logistics business is directly co-related with economic activity. Considering the aforementioned aspect, the Indian logistic industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15-20% during FY16-FY20. Pallets are one of the crucial components of Logistics industry and hence the growth of logistics industry will reflect in pallets making and leasing industry also. Pallets play a vital role in Logistic industry which prompted the founder NVL Narasimha Rao to venture into this business of Pallets Manufacturing. In order to keep costs low, to concentrate on their core business and to reduce the inventory and landfill, leasing of pallets is the necessity for companies involved in the movement of their goods from one location to another. Wood is an environmentally
friendly material. It is fully repairable, recyclable and completely bio-degradable. There is a heavy demand for the wooden pallets and a huge gap between demand and supply in the market. Meeting that demand from the clients is a challenge for the existing players in the field. EGEE Pallet is trying to fill that gap. There are currently few companies operating in Pallets leasing industry across India. Mostly they procure pallets from different manufacturers from market and lease them to their clients. They operate more or less like supplying companies.
Owns manufacturing plant
“We would like to avoid all middle men in the process of manufacturing and leasing a pallet. We procure wood and manufacture in our own manufacturing plant. We have our in-house technical team to timely respond to the clients for the AMC issues”, says N.V.L Narasimha Rao, CEO & founder of EGEE Pallet. As of now, it caters to the needs of the clients in Material Handling / Supply Chain Management (SCM) by giving them the option of either purchasing the pallets directly from it or renting the pallets as and when required. It has client base from all the industrial and commercial sectors that include Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Automobiles, Iron & Steel, Construction industries, Packaging, Breweries, FMCG and Food sectors etc. The Pallets offer good structural rigidity and maintain product reliability. The life of the pallets can be extended by strict control and maintenance standards. Raw material used in fabricating the pallets is sourced from a qualified vendor and are manufactured by qualified and experienced technicians. All the fabricated pallets undergo stringent quality process. EGPPL quality process ensures that the fabricated pallet meets all the export requirements like heat treatment in line with IPPC/ISPM15. EGPPL staff is readily available to the customers for any service/maintenance at short notice of 48-72 Hrs.
The Company being a startup is pretty optimistic about investments as there is a huge potential for the company to grow. It is looking for suitable investors to join the company and extend their expertise. It is aiming to provide excellent logistic solutions to any organization involved in movement/storage of materials by ensuring least product damage, greater efficiency, improved safety and significant cost savings. It wants to cater to the needs of the clients in Material Handling / Supply Chain Management (SCM) by making one million pallets available for use by the end of 2023.

Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect
W
ell, buying meat in wet markets or from butchers is an unpleasant experience characterized by a perpetual stench, buzzing flies and the revolting sight of meat hung upside down. Undoubtedly, the experience seems to be pretty horrific. But, who has ever given a thought over easing this stinky experience! Founded in 2016 by a self-professed, ardent meat lover and founder, Nishanth Chandran, TenderCuts was born of the vision to provide fresh, quality meat in line with WHO standards, the desire to bring back the real taste of meat, and to give people unlimited choice of meats, cuts and flavors, in the comfort of their home. TenderCuts is committed to delivering farm fresh, healthy and hygienically processed meat right to your doorstep in 120 minutes. “We offer the finest selection of chicken, mutton, seafood, exotic meats and marinades, nonveg pickles that can be ordered online, on your phone or at the TenderCuts retail experience store. Our premium range also includes free-range chicken and goat,� proclaims Chandran.

All about this ‘MEATY’ Affair
TenderCuts, India’s first omni-channel meat company We sell through retail stores, direct orders from our website, Mobile app and call center. TenderCuts prides itself on its pristine industry standards and for the following quality differentiators: • • • • • • •
Fresh and hygienically processed meat/seafood Experience the real taste of meat Antibiotic/Hormone/Chemical/preservative free RO washed and pre-cleaned Cold chain technology that preserves freshness Meat sourced from local communities Meat is handled by trained personnel within completely automated systems and at our state-of-the-art facility, where the pre-cleaning and washing of meat is done with RO purified water.
Today, the brand is on a ‘meaty’ voyage to transform people’s experience of buying meat, as the experience of buying one isn’t a cakewalk. Not only is the meat stale, unhygienic, low on taste, but is also unfit for human consumption, according to World Health Organization (WHO). Guidelines state that the meat kept at temperatures between 5 to 60 degrees Celsius, which becomes poisonous with time. The quality meat and seafood provided by TenderCuts conforms to FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) and WHO (World Health Organization) standards on the distribution and consumption of fresh–cut meat. “We have successfully gathered 1 lakh+ customers within a short span of 3 years. We have partnered with 100+ farmers in giving fair price & timely payments at the same time ensuring stringent quality standards for customer’s hence encouraging micro entrepreneurship,” asserts Chandran.
Obstacles are the part and parcel
“Being an avid meat lover myself, I wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the meat I get from the market. The meat is not hygienic and there were no convenient options to purchase the meat. There weren’t any players who delivered quality meat at the doorstep. There was a definite gap in the market on what people want and what was available. This got me thinking about options that we can explore to penetrate this niche segment. Therefore, this gave rise to TenderCuts, remembers the meat lover.
Multiple challenges were faced by them at various phases. Educating the customers was a major challenge. Since most customers are accustomed to buying from local markets, it was their initial challenge to communicate about the disadvantages of warm meat, but once we communicated, we pretty much got them coming back to us. Another challenge they faced was to train the butchers in the market and improves their life. They trained them on multiple cuts, hygiene cuts, etc. They also ensure that all butchers are healthy and even performed their medical test every month. The first phase of the pilot operation was launched last year to understand the product and user behavior. By September 2016, the company expanded to most of the parts of Chennai and by January 2017 they got Dr. Chef Damodaran on board as their brand ambassador.
Future Prospects
At TenderCuts, innovation & new product development has been the core and the company has been innovating products by making life easier for families and one of the biggest innovations, which has been brought about, is the ready to cook category is the marinated meat, using marinated meat our customers can not only save time also cook the most delicious recipes under 5-7 mins. Apart from this they have been constantly innovating new products in the ready to cook category, such as starters & gravies, etc. The vision is to become a single brand for all your meat & seafood needs. The highly unorganized market and the consumer awareness on buying high quality hygienic meat are increased and therefore there is a potential growth of 300% year on year. As the consumption of meat is increased there is no supply chain player in the industry, being a strong supply chain player we deliver the freshest and hygienic meat & seafood from FARM to CUSTOMER. So the growth percentage is higher and hence it’s a very scalable model. We currently have 13 TenderCuts stores in Chennai and recently launched our 1st store in Hyderabad, Banjara Hills on 14th December 2018 and plan to open another 18 stores in Chennai & 14 stores in Hyderabad in the next 2 years. Also aims to expand 70 stores in other major cities in the next 5 years.

Business Connect Team Being at the peak of a mushrooming startup scene, India is turning into a ground for innovation and employment. It successfully is catapulting a number of companies like Paytm, Flipkart, Ola etc. to a unicorn status i.e. startups being valued at $1billion or more, crucially playing a boss in bringing the unorganized sector into the section of organized sector. Among the world nations with most startups, India is ranked number third with more than 4000 Startups currently. And with each day the number is only growing and is anticipated to cross a mark of 10,000 in a few years. Though the introduction of GST routine is not completely helpful for startups, it definitely is said to help the growth. Let’s take a tour of the pros and cons of GST and its impact;
www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 1 | Yearly Edition February 2019 INDIA
[ 32 ]
PROS; Starting A Business: There were a number of tax compliances that had to be followed earlier to start a new business, but after GST coming into the picture all the sales and indirect central taxes have been consolidated. Presently the paperwork has been reduced and the registration is single as well. The time consumed in this process can be now devoted to more constructive means in the business. Any business that has a turnover of less than 20 lakh does not need to anymore register for VAT which was not the case earlier. Presently all the startups and small businesses are exempted from a structure of this nature. Logistics Cost: The reduction in the tax procedures after the introduction of GST has majorly helped in multiplying the inter-state delivery of goods and services all through the country. From state to state there was OCTROI tax that had to be paid before crossing the borders which would eventually increase the expenditure of the business. Presently there has been a uniformity bought in the same tax all through the country. The entire process of registration and payment of tax has been made available online. Multiple Taxations: There were taxes levied on goods multiple times which eventually swelled the price they were paying for the goods in comparison to the original price. The introduction of GST has eliminated such taxation by valuing tax on only the goods produced as the final product. Invoice: There has been a uniformity bought in the application of taxes resulting to which the distinction between the goods and services has been evaded. There are a number of advantages that can be availed now in terms of tax incentives.
Tax Credit Process: You will automatically not be eligible for Input Tax Credit if the supplier has not filed and paid their taxes. The major drawback about this is that if in the supply chain even one of the link has failed, it will result in great damages to the company. Technological Challenges: One of the major problems in a country like ours is technology and this has impacted the process of GST and the startups because the complete process has now been shifted online. And this online process may not be completely successful due to lack of technology or even the basic knowledge of it. Tax Collection: In the initial phase the cost is endured by the startup but later the TCS (tax collected at source) has to be paid by the owner and they would receive the refund only after filing the return. Capital Blocking: Since the GST routine has been introduced, the funds have to be uploaded by the startups in electronic form with the tax department which will lead in blocking of funds substantially. A startup will have to basically set aside a portion resulting in choking of the capital in the input tax credit system. Compliance Parameter: If there is a prospective buyer, they will be at the disposal to check the GST compliance rating and decide about the credibility of the company like the credit score. The guidelines are extremely stringent of the compliance and come at a certain bandwidth and cost. Reverse Charge: If the goods are transferred from one business that does not need to pay GST, to another that is obliged to pay, in this case, the buyer is the one who would be taking care of all the taxes. They have to selfinvoice and then upload the same on the GSTN while they file their return. This is nothing but just a bad debt that has to be paid by the buyer.
Consolidation: Difficult interstate movements, complicated taxes, cost of compliance, and more have all come to an end after GST came into being. Under this regime, there is only one tax to be paid ensuring that the whole procedure is centralized.
Freelancers: If the business person does not have a fixed place to do the business from, they have to enroll themselves as a casual taxable person under GST. It becomes mandatory for the person to do the registration because they do not come under the bar of 20 lakh being freelancers.
CONS;
There is no sector that is not dealing with the pros and cons of GST. We are running in the period of transition, it will face its ups and downs. There will be a lack of technological skills and implementation but there also will be an overcoming from it.
Tax Problem: In the prior years the excise duties were paid by the business that extracted a turnover of INR 1.5 crore but since the GST has reduced the number to 20 lakh, small businesses have also come under its cap. The tax burden on the manufacturing startups has hence increased.
Startups will face a few problems but will always be on the fancy to be saved by the experts in the business. The experts can always lend a hand for registrations and filing, letting the owner concentrate on thriving in the business better.

Mushrooming of a destined leader
Dr. Amit Mishra | Business Connect
ndia is gaining pace when it comes to adoption of startup culture. Of late, people have started showing faith in out-of-the-box concepts ideated by new age entrepreneurs. Several successful startups have shown their potential to the world. Companies such as Flipkart, Snapdeal, Zomato and Ola etc. are just a tip of the iceberg to corroborate an ambience of new entrepreneurial ecosystem. We have witnessed startups of assorted domains but hardly have we seen companies in the domain of Artificial Intelligence. The inception of Froot Research has ended that drought. It is a R&D based burgeoning company in the arena of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It has a deep-seated focus on innovation, advancement and realization of AI. It is excelling in computational Research, Development and Consulting. It is working with a goal to bring real, human-like or superior intelligence to businesses and everything that touches our lives. Moreover, it is striking chord with academia as well as corporates to advance its research and develop new models of intelligence. Established in May 2018, initial results of its work have been very promising and have garnered appreciations from customers and partners. And now after garnering industry acceptance, it is filing patents for technology to ensure that IP is protected. Despite being a new entrant, approach of the company has been spot on. Froot’s innovative Artificial Intelligence models are intuitive, targetless, interpretable and based on cognitive research. It cuts down the time drastically to build domain specific intelligent products. This reflects from the fact that in short span it has built a broad portfolio that can cater needs of Telecom, Finance, IP (Intellectual Property), Healthcare, Advertising and content domains. In 2019, it plans to expand its portfolio further to Manufacturing, Logistics and Marketing domains.

Seasoned expertise is the game changer
Amit Gautam, the man behind the startup, gained expertise of the IT and AI domains by serving some top-rated companies of Europe and North America. His experience spans more than 14 years. Mr. Gautam had worked in various roles with tier-1 customers like AT&T, Sprint, Vodafone and various vendors. This gave him a deep understanding of the challenges that enterprises face. Having a background in research, engineering and management, he decided to take the bull by its horn and started a company that would build systems that exhibit real intelligence and solve challenges unsolved for years. This became a pillar of the Froot Research. Few years back, people used to stay sceptic about startups but there has been a pragmatic change in their mindset. Investors are now looking for serious research startups in India that work in Artificial Intelligence. By means of its credentials and work, Pune based Froot Researchis very well placed to engage them in growth plans. Furthermore, with myriad of entrepreneurial initiatives going on, it just opens up more opportunities to collaborate with others and expand further.
Principles of substance
The Company is taking giant leaps forward to make machines intelligent, self-aware and self-adaptive so that they could serve the needs of businesses and society. Everything that it does places it apart; from the way it recruits, engages academia, design products to the way it builds roadmaps. There are many things that differentiate it from others in the field but the key differentiator is its focus on research and on building generic models that find place in various problem domains. To build a culture of innovation, it follows three principles.
• Be on the edge: It knows what’s going on in research world and it always ensuresto build upon the latest and the greatest.
[ 46 ]
Amit Gautam
Chief Technology and Strategy Officer,
Froot Research
• Something New: Anything that it builds must have novelty in it, be it the intelligence model, the architecture or even the user interface. • Fail fast, fail often: For each task it takes upon, it defines the key success factors. It then develops and test those specific parts first to ensure that it fails fast, if something was to not work eventually. ‘Failure’, at Froot is seen as just a step forward. The AI industry offers a nerve-racking competition for startups but the company takes it as a source of refining itself. Thismakes it go beyond and to prove that it’s a cut-above. Most of its current products cater to the needs of big businesses. Thus, it works in a B2B model in that context. Apart from its B2B business model, it is also looking to explore opportunities in B2C model by entering Healthcare technology which is of direct value to the masses.
A full-proof future plan
When we talk about clients, the company is engaged with at least 2 multi-million dollar companies spread across Switzerlandand US that are seen as key players in their domain. Apart from this, it has also partnered with one of India’s 2018’s Top 20 startups in life sciences. In
coming years, the company is looking to make an impact in technology as well as social world. The technology adapted by the company is bound to make businesses smarter and faster. Not only this, it wants to help people enrich their experiences and get valuable insights in the areas that matter to them the most. In India, there is a paucity of AI research companies. This gives Froot distinguished advantage. Froot is always accessible to researchers in a vacuum of AI research companies. With strong R&D focus, innovative AI technology under the belt, a clear long-term growth plan and acceptance of product by key market players, Froot is an attractive startup for investors. Few investors have already offered to invest in the startup. It has a 3-year technology road map that involves expanding research in Hierarchical temporal memory, inferential models, signal processing and automated machine learning. It plans to reach out to more and more customers, take the central stage in key conferences and demonstrate the power of its advanced technology. By 2020, it aims to make this novel technology integral part of multiple top 500 companies’ ecosystem.

Niranjan Kanna Ready, the other director, is a man of individuality who is a self-motivated person whose tremendous efforts to fulfill his dream have made him a successful businessman.
Ujjawali Shrivastava | Business Connect ONSTRUCTION WITHOUT DEVIATION IS our MAIN MOTTO- conveyed Prem Krishna Vayuvegula & Niranjan Kanna Reddy, the Directors of Akhilapriya Properties Pvt. Ltd.
C
CONSTRUCTION is the most important sector that contributes greatly to the economic growth of a nation. The Construction industry has been the driving force for the local economy for the past several years. Everyone dreams of having a dream house and “Vavuyvegula and Reddy’ are the ones who have dedicated themselves to fulfill this dream of people. They educate and help people in buying a property which is built in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the concerned local authorities. www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 1 | Yearly Edition February 2019 INDIA
COMPANY’S ANECDOTE Akhilapriya Properties Private Limited is a name that resonates among the prominent residential and commercial developers in Tamilnadu & Andhra Pradesh. Having its Headquarters in Chennai, Akhilapriya Properties is primarily focusing on residential and commercial projects. The Company’s upcoming residential projects include deluxe apartments, villas, row houses, development of plots and aspirational houses replete with world-class amenities. In all of its projects, the company lays a strong emphasis on environmental management, water harvesting and high safety standards. COMPANY’S QUEST The main mission of the company is to develop quality properties based on realistic values for its clients, investment affiliates, as well as its joint venture partners. Its striving feat is to continuously expand the role of a leading developer in the construction industry by building lasting relationships
[ 50 ]
with its clientele and all concerned on the foundations of performance, trust and confidence. COMPANY’S UNIQUE SPIRIT Innumerable construction companies exist in today’s world. To make oneself unique in this industry is a big challenge. But the constant dedication and unceasing efforts of its Directors make Akhilapriya Properties different from others. It provides property management services to the non-resident investors. One who buys a flat in this project can lease it out to Akhilapriya Property Management Services which takes care of the flat by paying a monthly rent to the investor. As such, the investor need not worry about renting out the flat, maintenance of the flat etc. People can invest from any corner of the Globe and avail a hassle free returns. “Construction without deviation” is their only motto, whereas 90% of the market is filled up with illegal and deviated constructions. Buying a home is a dream to every common man. A person saves all his money throughout his life to buy his or her own home. Without having a proper knowledge of this kind of issues, he or she invests all his hard earned money in buying an illegal or a deviated property and ends up paying huge fines and sometimes even losing the home. “So we have decided not to get into such kind of deviated and illegal constructions but to
deliver the best to our buyers.” asserted “Vayuvegula & Reddy”. SUBJUGATING DEMUR AND HIGHLIGHTING In the words of Mr. Reddy & Vayuvegula, “Competing with the existing competitors in the market is a big hassle, gaining the trust of the clients is another big issue. You need to prove that you are the best when compared with the competitors in the market”. On the basis of their above words, it is assumed that they always focus on providing better facilities to the clients in comparison with their competitors in the construction field. At the time of advertisement, numerous companies promise to provide to their clients a number of facilities and amenities. But in reality they provide only a few among the promised ones. In most cases there are deviations from the approved plans to a tune of 10%, 15% and in extreme cases even 25%. But Akhilapriya Properties confirm not to have any deviations from the approved plan and to provide all the facilities and amenities promised. In most cases, the developers give a deadline to handover the flats to the clients. But due to many factors, they are not able to stick to the deadline and make a lot of delay in handing over the property to their clients. But Akhilapriya Properties promise to stick to the deadline and save unnecessary anxiety to its clients. THE PRIMEVAL PROJECT The numero uno project “PRISTINE” constructs 76 premium apartments. All are 2BHK flats facing east and west. The Construction commenced in October 2018 and will be completed by October 2020 (The deadline given by the developers). The project has been approved by DTCP (Director of Town and Country Planning) Amaravathy, Andhra Pradesh. There will be no
deviations from the approved plan. Akhilapriya Properties takes great pride to deliver to its clients the apartments with international quality specifications and standards. The Project “PRISTINE” offers excellent connectivity to Chennai & Tirupati International Airports. There are 5 Sea Ports within a radius of 100KMS from SRICITY. They are Chennai Port (65kms), EnnorePort (50kms), Kattupalli Port (52kms), Krishnapatnam Port (100kms) and the upcoming Duggarajupatnam Port (60kms). There are also Express trains connecting to Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Delhi. “PRISTINE” is located just 1.5kms from SRICITY, India’s fastest growing SEZ (Special Economic Zone). SRICITY is deemed to be the ‘Future Smart City of Andhra Pradesh. 175 best International companies from 27 Countries are established in SRICITY. Enumerating in this, there are Educational Institutions and Hospitals spread across 7500 acres. SRICITY is working towards becoming a carbon neutral city and is one of the best in India to live and work in. PREVALENT BUSINESS MODEL Akhilapriya Properties Private Limited is a direct sales business model. It has tied up with some local marketing agencies & services, generate revenue through a network of sales persons who sell the flats directly to customers. Here direct sales takes place through presentations or demonstrations of the product or service in a one-to-one setting. Publicity Videos and Banners are posted and circulated through Social media to reach millions. Hoardings showcasing the project details are posted in all the major cities of south India. FORTHCOMING PROJECTION Akhilapriya Properties is a big dreamer. Its aim is to become a well-known and a reputed
