All activities have a high degree of active engagement which keeps the audience involved and makes them want to come back again. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Nikita Jaggi: Initially the struggle was to get clients who were ready to do experiential marketing or concept based events. Even for kids' activities they were not open to do something which was creatively led. One of the core strength's of Poppy Pundits is the creative ideas and their seamless execution. We had potential customers who would take the ideas and do the exact same thing on their own. Not only was it demotivating but unethical too. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future?

We want to be the preferred option in the employee, brand and children experience space. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Nikita Jaggi: My advice would be that if you have an idea and you are passionate about it, just start. Don’t invest too much time in planning which puts execution at risk. Keep improvising and moving forward. Adapt yourself to changing time - it helps the business to grow. You must believe in your vision strongly enough to sacrifice almost everything that’s not a part of it.

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Gaurav Narang: Straight out of IIM Calcutta, I had forayed into the Start-up world. My first start-up was in the Pharma domain. It focussed on providing medicines and care services to patients suffering from chronic diseases. That experience gave me enough insights into the link between what we eat and the lifestyle diseases afflicting people at large, especially those living in the cities. Once my healthcare start-up was acquired by Portea Medical, for the next venture, I decided to do something in the space of making healthy food available to people living in cities. While looking for avenues to find such healthy food, I realized that the agricultural production system had too many gaps. The avenues to find a reliable supply chain of healthy food were limited. This was when I decided to go further down the value chain and become a farmer myself. At CityGreens, we enable growers (both hobbyists and commercial) to grow fresh, safe, and healthy produce using automation and precision farming. Great Companies: What are the various Services provided by CityGreens Gaurav Narang: CityGreens offers smart farming solutions for controlled environmental agriculture in urban and peri-urban areas. The solutions include an ecosystem of IoT based offerings that help automate several tasks for the farmers and lead to increased productivity. Apart from that, we also support our growers by offering them high quality, in-house developed inputs and dedicated agronomy and farm management support. Great Companies: What makes CityGreens different from hundreds of other similar service providers? Gaurav Narang: CityGreens is India's leading research-based Agri-Tech Start-up. At 10,000 sqft, we probably own and operate the nation's largest research infrastructure dedicated to developing smart farming solutions for controlled environment agriculture. What sets us further apart is that, unlike many players who work on specific parts of the value chain, at CityGreens, we offer holistic, indigenously developed, MakeInIndia solutions to our customers. We have developed indigenous growing structures, proprietary nutrient blends, and a suite of IoT enabled autonomous solutions, thus playing at different levels in the seed to shelf ecosystem. Further, we have not only developed these solutions for the broader market, but we also use the same technologies across our multiple farms, thereby putting our money where our mouth is. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Gaurav Narang: Usually the same challenges that other start-up founders would face like finding the right workforce, developing profitable and sustainable business models etc. However, one area wherein the challenges are different is due to the nature of the industry itself. Agriculture has a large gestation period, especially if you are in technology. Unlike trading, where it is easy to buy from one and sell to others and thereby show a decent top line, it takes time to develop innovative tech solutions. Further, it isn't easy to scale up physical infrastructure. These challenges are compounded by the fact that the Govt. does not treat you as a farmer, and most of the sops and benefits offered to farmers are unavailable to you. As someone who is motivating more and more people to leave their mainstream careers and look at agriculture as a long term business venture, this does become a motivational roadblock and adds to entry barriers. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for CityGreens? Gaurav Narang: Over the last four years, we have developed a robust technology backbone that successfully runs multiple farms spread across India. So far, we have limited the technology to be used exclusively on our farms. Now that we have perfected the technology in the real world, we are looking forward to offering it to growers across India and using it as a lever to grow. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Gaurav Narang: Just Get started. If you believe in something, pursue it. Please do not listen to the advisors or consultants who have never run a business themselves. Do not worry about the consequences. In the worst case, you will fail. You can always start all over again.

Great Companies: How did you get the idea or concept for the business? Sameer Satyarth: Basically since the childhood I had a keen interest in selling and buying the things and I had a good skills in those. But at that time I didn't know about the entrepreneurship. Later, as I grew I got to know about it and saw many people were opening startup companies and making themselves entrepreneur. At a very early age, idea of becoming self dependent came to mind and I also wanted to see myself as an entrepreneur and so I moved forward for this. Since STD-6, I started developing and designing websites. Later, after designing many such, I designed a website and called it as RAIDONNEWS. Great Companies: What are the various services provided by Raidonnews? Sameer Satyarth: Raidonnews is such a website which can provide you with huge name and fame. We cover the full life biographies of people no matter what's their background of work is, either he/she is a vendor or a big celebrity, if they are interested in featuring themselves then our services are always open for them with due respect and whoever's biography gets covered on our website it get ranked under 5 on Google which obviously increases the impression of that person on it. News Articles are also get covered on our website. We provide with PR Marketing , PR Branding, Web Development Services like- Hosting, Domain, Licensing and etc..... So yes, we can say that Raidonnews is not just a featuring website rather it a huge package of Digital Marketing. Great Companies: What makes Raidonnews different from other similar service providers? Sameer Satyarth: As I already said that Raidonnews is not just a featuring website rather it is a huge package of Digital Marketing which makes it unique from all others. Generally one particular website can provide you with a particular work service but our website i.e, Raidonnews not only provide you with this but also all other needs that are needed to grow your impression globally. Also we give the surety that whatever or whoever's article we give, it will definitely be ranked on Goggle. Our SEO and BRANDING services are also something which makes us unique from others as the ranking of an article mainly depends on SEO work and we provide the best. We have 1000+ trusted and satisfied clients and that too in a very short period of time. Most important thing that I follow is "I BELIEVE IN COLLABORATIONS RATHER THAN COMPETITIONS", which is again something different and unique from others, because now a days people have developed a competitive nature inside them rather being supportive. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you faced? Sameer Satyarth: I belong from BIHAR, place where people are always taught to become an Engineer, Doctor or something in Government Jobs. When I decided to start my own website and work as an entrepreneur, people used to mock on me. Seeing me on laptop for long they used to say what non-sense he is doing, insted of spending time on it, if you could have read the books then you can be topper or something like that. That was really very demotivating for me. I have faced a huge criticism from my friends and some other people. But I never lost my hope, because it always seems impossible until it is done, and obviously, when someone tells you it can't be done, it's more a reflection of their limitations not your. With this mindset only, I faced all the criticism and time has changed, like my those friends or people who used to mock at me once, now comes to me and asks me to teach them also how to do these all things. So yes whenever, you will come up with something different, people will always be in against of that because our society always follow the old tradition but never get demotivated by them, always move towards your dream with a good mindset. In the beginning, when I started working on websites, that was also somewhere a tough time for me. Literally I had generated 10 to 15 websites and worked on them but never got success. My website were not getting adsense which was really very disappointing. I made many YouTube channels, pages on Instagram but as always no good response was coming. But in 2019, when I came up with Raidonnews and with a proper team, it came up with good success and recognition from People. Great Companies: How do you plan for grow in future? What does five years down the line look like for Raidonnews? Sameer Satyarth: In upcoming 5 years, many new things are going to be introduced in market regarding Raidonnews. I am planning to come out on the global level. Currently we are providing the services on the country level but time is not so far when we will be providing the services outside the India also and that too from small to big companies. We are working for local level also and soon will come out with enhance idea for local level businesses. Many News Portals are going to be opened, many collaborations are done and some big are there to come and also many Raidonnews Magazines are going to be launched in the market. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Sameer Satyarth: Piece of advice that I would like to give for startups, that never develop a Boosy feeling inside yourself. Like if you are founder, don't limit your work space. Always try to work with your team as a partner rather than a boss, then only your team will also cooperate with their best version. And never saturate yourself that I am earning this much and it is sufficient for me. No, never develop a mindset of being stable at some point. Also one very important thing, when you will come up with startup, in starting you will face some loss, never get demotivated or sacred of that. Teach yourself to value hard work and problem solving by working through your failures. No one is great at something the first time they try it. Success comes from hard work, practice and yes from FAILURES.

“The future is electronics. It’s radio, television, and the internet. It’s not news papered anymore” Across business, culture, and every part of our lives, the digital revolution has ushered in a new era of human empowerment and engagement. As the silicon chip's reach pervades practically everything we do—from buying groceries online to paying bills—digital platforms are recasting customer, worker, and employer interactions. Everything is coming to our doorsteps as the digital world expands, making life easier for individuals all over the world. Before the digital age, it took an eternity to pay bills in line, which can now be done with a tap on a small device from the comfort of your bed. The digital world has almost reached the point where no one wants to go out and stand in line to pay bills, buy groceries, transfer money, or recharge their phones. In many ways, the world changed between 2019 and 2020. Covid 19 had a huge impact on people's lives all around the world. Because of the fear of the coronavirus, people avoided leaving their homes. As a result, India had a 43.5 percent growth in internet shopping. “Why go out to shop when you can have everything delivered to your house with a simple swipe, thanks to digital technology” The digital industry and its rapidly expanding variety of products and services made an impact, resulting in the launch of "VimoPay." VimoPay is the brand name of Vidual Communications India Pvt Ltd. Manoj Dewangan, Director at Vidual Communications India Pvt Ltd, founded the company in July 2018. The company is headquartered in Kolkata, but it also has operations in other Indian cities. The platform seeks to provide low-cost banking services. Manoj Dewangan began his career in 2003 as a Territory Manager for Eureka Forbes Ltd. and went on to work for several other firms until launching Vidual Communications India Pvt Ltd. He applied what he learned from these experiences, particularly from Voicepace Technologies Pte Lt., to the Vidual Communications India Pvt. digital initiative. VimoPay is a new and active company in India that specialises in digital products and value-added services in collaboration with prominent brands. VimoPay has partnered with several financial institutions and corporations to provide a variety of services to Indian people, including banking, recharges, bill payment, and travel, through their extensive agent network. Vidual Communications offers a wide range of digital products as well as Convergence collaborations. Their services, led by a team with unrivalled experience in service convergence and service continuity, provide a competitive, cost-effective, and robust inter-working platform designed to enable seamless payments mobility across multiple ecosystems with absolute transparency and the highest service levels and capabilities, ensuring a "Win-Win" relationship with Suppliers, Governments, Banks, Aggregators, Merchants, and Customers. “A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission” This lovely group has its own goals and objectives. They aim to provide a variety of services at a cheap cost to consumers at their doorstep through a dynamic delivery mechanism and to be recognized as an outstanding, creative, and effective service provider. Their purpose is to improve an individual's and a team's expertise and skills to build their present and future through financial inclusion and literacy. Services they provide The first service they provide is financial inclusion. e-KYC, BSBDA Enrolment, Atal Pension Yojana, PMJJBY, PMSBY, financial transactions through Aadhaar, RuPay, remittances, and visa are some of the services they provide. Carrying the cash and walking in and out of our BC point to transfer money to your loved ones has been a challenge for us. Vimopay's cash to accounts service simplified fund transfers. Our lives have become increasingly reliant on mobile phones. We have a phone in our hands when we get up and one at the end of the day. In the busy schedules that most of us have, online recharge is always the best option. Vimopay is the ideal option when you're thinking of one. They can help you recharge your phone or pay your bills for any phone number in the country. They also offer travel and insurance services.

Their knowledge, talent, hospitality, flexibility, and competence are all combined to match your desires and meet all of your travel and enjoyment requirements. Individuals and groups, as well as all budgets, can use Vimopay's services. Future scope The prior set of services was confined to door-to-door sales and word-of-mouth marketing. Previously, businesses relied on physical labor to promote their goods. People nowadays, however, expect everything to be at their fingertips. Vimopay is creating new processes in response to the shift to the digital world. Manual mailings have been replaced by a more cost-effective SMS and email payment method. It is extremely efficient and beneficial to business owners. People stopped carrying cash after the introduction of cards and phone payments. Reloadable cards were offered by Vimopay as a good alternative to carrying cash. Walking into airports and train stations and waiting in huge lines to buy a single seat is time-consuming; however, the online ticketing option they provide has made it much easier for everyone. People could save time by using cash collection, tax service, and load service instead of waiting in long lines and completing procedures. Farmers benefit from the Krishi Input Subsidy Scheme, which is available in all states of the country. Vimopay is a new platform that allows you to pay your subsidiaries online. As a result, digital systems have made life easier for everyone in today's hectic environment. From staying in touch with friends to having your favorite meal delivered to your door, the digital world has improved everyone's life. Spend your time on the things that are most important to you and leave the rest to Vimopay. "Make next-Gen payments with next-Gen payment providers!"

“Marketing without data is like driving with eyes closed” Every businessperson aspires to provide complete customer pleasure / satisfaction. With the economy getting competitive day by day, having a thorough understanding of customers' challenges and preferences has become crucial for any organization. Market research is the most effective tool to boost consumer happiness, analyse business aspects, and improve performance. Market research gives in-depth information about competition, customer pain points and preferences, current market trends, consumer buying patterns, economic movements, and demography, among other things. Today's business owners recognize the value of market research and use it to develop effective strategies. However, the majority of business owners are finding it challenging or do inadequate market research. That is where Rose Market Research stands apart and ensures that its clients have no doubts during the process. Bharatbhushan Nirmal, who has 16+ years of experience in Field Operations and Client Servicing, founded Rose Market Research in 2018. Because the entire functioning of a business is dependent on human interaction, Rose Market Research is involved in data collection and mostly uses the traditional approach in its operations. The organization continues to stay up with changing trends and keeps itself equipped with new methods and technology. Overreliance on technology for data collection can be an obstacle to successful business decisions, especially when it replaces the face-to-face interactions in data collection and insights. Complex technologies, according to Nirmal, are incapable of capturing what human minds can say and they lack human touch, they are in contrast to the conventional method, which is based on human connection. He believes that face-to-face interaction is still the most effective and impactful communication tool in the digital age. Face-to-face interaction is the most effective way to engage others with empathy and influence. It fosters and strengthens excellent professional relationships that are impossible to reproduce in a virtual setting. Artificial intelligence may have some role to play but only till a certain extent where it may analyse Audio and video footprints and give out numbers, but as informed earlier, human feelings can be understood only by humans and so traditional methods will never fail in capturing the correct data. Furthermore, Rose Market Research does not accept liability for over-promising and under-delivering. Under-promising is never a bad idea; failing to deliver results in dissatisfied and disappointed clients. The company is well aware of its capabilities, ensuring that they execute on their promises. It also creates consumer trust by being completely upfront with them about the services they desire and what they can reasonably expect to receive. Furthermore, because primary data is so important in market research, the organization constantly sticks to its core business of collecting primary data, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The main data sample allows you to get extensive information about your company, competitors, and the industry as a whole from prominent industry participants. WHAT DO THEY PROVIDE? · The team consists of people who have at least 10 years of expertise in data gathering, and the majority of the team consists of interviewers, who provide ground-level clarity. · A dedicated crew that provides timely updates · Correct commitments on what is possible and what is difficult · recognizing and accepting their limitations · Quantitative Data Collection (Telephonic, F2F, Online) · Expert Depth Interviews · Focus Group Discussions · An experienced lawyer with a track record of success in the legal profession. · Experienced attorney with a track record of success in the legal profession.

A strong legal expert with a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Business Law and an Advanced Diploma in Cyber Laws from Mumbai University. EFFECTS OF PANDEMIC? Despite all of the terrible aspects, many attempted to find one positive aspect to hold on to. Every firm attempted to rely on it while also innovating. Rose market research has also explored new ways to innovate. They had enough time to focus on what they do for their clients and to do it correctly. They believe in quality service to limited number of clients then to over commit big number of clients, of course they are working on the bandwidth to accommodate and give best service to all their clients. In the pandemic they were able to gather themselves and bounce back in a more effective manner, and it became an opportunity to become more efficient and competent with the services they provided to their clients.

Run by hoteliers for hoteliers…… The hotel industry is one of the world's fastest-growing industries, and it is both a vital and indispensable part of the hospitality industry. “True hospitality consists of giving the best of yourself for your guests” Every organization tries to rely on this quote and provide the greatest service to their customers. However, the majority of them fall short in terms of comfort, care, trust, or hygiene. Human nature, on the other hand, is to always desire the best. When it comes to receiving the greatest service, they never give up. We often need to go to numerous areas and utilize several hotels as people working for firms with many branches, and these hotels that are less than 5 stars typically lack in one or more aspects. That's where hospitality companies come in, and Roohi, the hospitality group is the finest in the business at gaining clients' trust.

Small and mediums businesses and start-ups have their business game in the right place and know how to function, scale it traditionally and do all this majorly on an offline basis. The problem lies in the fact that these businesses are more conservative and they find it difficult to open up to the global digital advancements. They feel that it costs them both time and a lot of money. But when the pandemic hit, the small businesses were left feeling helpless because there seemed a huge pragmatic shift with the consumer purchase patterns and how the whole of the business world shifted to a digital platform. The pandemic forced businesses, big or small, were forced to adopt “Digital First Strategy”. This shift was comparatively an easy shift for big firms and organizations because they had the right funding and resources to adapt to it quickly. But for small businesses, it was an alien method because of their limited knowledge of the digital, lack of technical knowledge, no funding, and no resource to help them face the situation at ease. This is where SMB Kart came into the action. In order to progress and name Digital Transformation easier, this start-up built a simple, yet a powerful tech platform. SMB Kartis a platform that helps small as well as medium businesses to adapt to the Digital First Strategy, costing them almost no time and helps scale their business in an effective and efficient manner. SMB Kart is a SaaS based small fee subscription platform that helps small as well as medium business owners launch their online store in as less as 30 minutes, with zero knowledge of the technical field.

"Fashion is female." This stereotype has had a long shelf-life till today, and it can only take an entire revolution to break a fashion typecast of such sorts. While some people are still understanding the negative sides to this stereotype, we have amongst us a young man who believes in fashion inclusivity, diversity, and re-defining old fashion rules. Naman Gupta, the founder of Suadre, a bespoke clothing company, has actively contributed to making fashion more approachable for men by providing a no-fuss platform for customized clothing. As an MBA in Finance student and creativity being his strong suit, he materialized his brainchild and created Suadre to let men have their fashion needs fulfilled. Suadre Studio is based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and has been an active company in the e-commerce game with the help of an easy-to-access website . It is located in the heart of the mesmerizing Pink City and is a shopping stop for numerous local customers. The word Suadre stands for what it sells. ‘Su’ means suits, ‘a’ means and, ‘dre’ means dresses. A Founder’s Journey Naman Gupta’s gradual steps towards the creation of Suadre started with keen observation around him. He noticed among friends and family that getting pocket-friendly yet designer outfits for men was an alien concept. Next, he caught sight of men facing problems finding the right fit clothes in popularly visited brand outlets. There was a dearth of custom tailoring for men that could provide an opportunity to choose fabric, color, and even design by themselves. With these day-to-day challenges, the idea of filling these gaps is where Naman’s journey commenced. Even the self-experiences of the founder with rough ready-made fittings made him aware of the negative perception of this shopping experience for most people. This got him an inch closer to turning his dream into a reality and calling it Suadre. Naman Gupta completed his Bachelor’s degree in Economics in 2013 from the University of Delhi and further pursued MBA from the Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad, and Dubai campus. He has even worked as a Senior Analyst at EY and has held other finance-related designations. Often criticized for dropping job opportunities with well-known companies, Naman Gupta has had an undisturbed vision and a goal to fulfill that even high level recruitments could not stop him from achieving. Banking on calculated risk-taking and an idea to create a bespoke clothing label for men, he let his commitment overshoot all the criticism and non-constructive feedback he had been a recipient to. The transition from just a man with an idea to a business owner came with responsibilities such as managing a team, maintaining stable financial health, building trustable credit, and competing with the big shots. New learnings since the foundation of Suadre have helped in shaping the studio into a welcoming stop for all customers. What Suadre Has in Store for Customers? The concept of Suadre Studio was to provide an all-in-one solution for menswear under just one roof. Customers can customize their outfits online using the official website or customize fittings in-person at the studio. It offers more than one million combinations to custom-make men's clothing items. Suadre follows the time-saving and money-saving approach for men, as they can save time on fabric shopping by catering to this need here itself. The critical problem of sizing among most customers can be omitted by opting for an in-house tailor experience at Suadre Studio. There has been a paucity of bespoke clothing labels attending only to the needs of men's styling and clothing lines. Often, men require a personalized studio for purchasing well-fit clothes for the office, weddings, or any other special occasion. In order to cover all kinds of requirements, materials such as linen, silk, wool, and varied designs like stripes and checks can be found here. Suadre offers a long list of customized clothing products such as shirts, trousers, blazers, suits, jackets, kurtas, pyjamas, and Indo-westerns at affordable prices. Other essential accessories like ties, cufflinks, buttons, and bow ties can also be custom-made at one spot for all. This personalized style studio strives to bring the perfect blend of sophistication and class-apart outfits into a man’s wardrobe. This is an outstanding way for men to get their feel-good factor with stylish, tailor-made clothes. Suadre’s motto is to provide effortless style, premium quality fabric, custom fitting, and complete fashion attention to men around the globe. Suadre Studio emphasizes an experience to remember. Along with the product and the journey to reach the desired output, Suadre values providing a never-before experience to customers while custom-making or selecting the fabric of their garment. There is a unique experience in store for customers among the many discussed features. Process of Purchase The purchase process begins with customers coming to the studio via referrals, social media awareness, or walk-ins. Suadre focuses on understanding the customer needs, such as the purpose of wear, budget, number of outfits, and more. The customers are offered catalogs for selecting the fabric and design to get better clarity. The measurements are taken on the spot, and a trial date is fixed to check the fittings of the garments. Once the fittings are approved, the final product is delivered with utmost warmth. The Suadre team targets this journey to be smooth sailing and a memorable one. Challenges During the Journey and Overcoming Them As a new venture, the journey since 2017 has been no cakewalk. With a share of obstacles and brainstorming to find solutions, Suadre has been able to gain recognition among local customers and within India. Before Suadre's establishment, the nature of concerns was different. As a founder, Naman Gupta introspected whether he possessed enough knowledge about the market as creating menswear was his interest but a whole new ball game to begin with. Using heavy-duty market research, interacting with experts, and studying the client demands helped him conquer the first few challenges. Even production was found as a visible difficulty that was eventually solved by going ahead with in-house production. The journey began with fabric worth 15 lakhs and was expanded to a 1.10 crore inventory by adopting proper interventions and plans . As any novel businessman in the market, Naman Gupta witnessed an initial hurdle of gaining customer trust. However, well-outlined marketing strategies and word-of-mouth helped the founder form secure relationships with customers. As Customer is King, it is of utmost importance to well-acquaint the customers with the products offered at Suadre Studio. This problem was solved by understanding customer requirements effectively by incorporating well-defined catalogs and questionnaires. In order to convert the blueprint of an idea into a reality, the staff productivity needs to be soaring high. As a leader of the Suadre team, Naman Gupta chalked out basic strategies to keep the staff motivated, something as minor as daily check-ins to understand their physical and mental health status. Like most projects, Suadre has had a fair share of challenges, and these struggles are bound to remain an inevitable part of the journey even in the future. However, Naman Gupta’s solution-oriented thinking has proved to be an asset to convert each hardship into a victory and aims to continue doing so. Road Ahead Taking this dream up a higher notch, Suadre is looking at customized shoes and accessories for men, an area that is gaining demand and is less explored compared to women’s line. The work plan for customized shoes is already in action, and work around marketing in this less-visited area will be implemented soon. Moving forward, Suadre will be including an elaborate sherwani collection along with the existing clothing products for men. The dream ahead also includes venturing into exports of top-notch quality tailored suits. The Suadre team will promote and actively work on sustainable fashion to reduce environmental impact using upcycling techniques and social media awareness, a less touched upon concept in the clothing market. A personalized style studio that caters to custom-made clothing for men will now work on another cause of the hour. On the customer relations front, a wider website reach and expansion are also on the cards. The road ahead will take into account the latest fashion trends, the demand of the customers, and other situational factors on which the Suadre team will work around committedly. With an aim to bring accessible, custom-made, and stylish clothes for men and outplaying the fashion clichés, this, ladies and gentlemen, is the journey of your very own Suadre. Now, it is safe to say fashion is not just female! Website : https://suadrestudio.com/

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Karan Shah: Almost 10 years back, when I was working in Asia’s largest digital agency - Social Kinnect, we found out how very few people in India knew what digital marketing was. Even when we had to hire digital marketers, we faced a lot of challenges. I noticed a huge skill gap. While training my colleagues in digital marketing, I got positive feedback from them. Knowing how our country needed to learn digital marketing combined with my ease in teaching difficult concepts, I decided to quit my job and set out on a mission to reduce the digital skill gap by educating the youth of India in digital marketing. This is how the idea of founding IIDE came to me. Great Companies: What are the various Services provided by IIDE - Indian Institute of Digital Education Karan Shah: Our major service specializes in providing Digital Marketing Training. We further categorized our service into segments based on the requirements of individuals. The two main channels are B2B and B2C. In B2B, we train top multinational companies and corporates in digital marketing. All the advertising managers, sales managers, brand managers, marketing managers as well as executives in digital marketing fall under this bucket. To give you an instance, we recently trained all the Area, Sales & Brand Managers at Mahindra & Mahindra. We coached them on how to migrate all their traditional marketing budgets towards digital marketing budgets. Likewise, some other setups that hired us for digital marketing corporate training are Leo Burnett, Pfizer, Cipla, Volkswagen, Asian Paints, Abbott, North East India Tourism (in association with the World Bank), Publicis Groupe, and more. In B2C, we offer postgraduate programs and advanced certification courses which are mainly for fresh graduates and working professionals. The postgraduate programs are for individuals who want to professionally train in digital marketing and specialize in it. The advanced online certification course is for professionals who want knowledge in digital marketing to progress in their careers. The main goal here is to prepare these professionals to become valuable assets in the workforce of the digital marketing industry and help them bag relevant jobs. Great Companies: What makes IIDE - Indian Institute of Digital Education different from hundreds of other similar service providers? Karan Shah: IIDE’s learning pedagogy makes us different from hundreds of other similar service providers. We follow a 3 step methodology which we also like to call the 3-Teacher Method. Under this methodology, we have got on-board industry experts from companies like Google, Facebook, Disney, and more to record high-quality video lectures teaching the subjects and concepts they’re maestros in. These video materials are provided to the students as the first step of the learning process. After watching the videos, they’re supposed to attend live/offline classes with the local teachers to work on live projects and assignments, solve their doubts, etc. After the second step, if a student still holds any queries, we give them a facility to book a unique mentor for a personal session via our LMS (Learning management system). In this way, we’re making available 3 unique teachers to each student under every topic in our curriculum. The aim is to equip them not only with academia but also industrial knowledge. Where other institutes have a single teacher dedicating more than 100+ hours, we have 3 teachers dedicated to solely teaching a single subject in 15+ hours that they have expertise in. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Karan Shah: Being in the education industry, we have faced many challenges year on year. In the first year, we had an infrastructure-related problem. We had started out in a garage with a few basic chairs and a local teacher. But today, we have multiple campuses, the biggest one being our headquarters in Andheri, Mumbai along with a well-established online school. We also faced some struggles in recognizing the needs of our students. For example, many of them were looking for government certification. As we moved ahead, the students started realizing the quality education we impart, and today, all students are confident in enrolling in a private school as IIDE because they’re confident that our certification holds industrial importance and value. Lastly, the Covid-19 pandemic posed challenges for almost every industry and we were no exception. We had to shift all our offline campus training to online classes but in no time, we came out stronger and became one of the best online digital marketing institutes. Hence, we faced many struggles through the years but we never looked back and we’re proud of how far we have come. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for IIDE - Indian Institute of Digital Education? Karan Shah: India’s largest and most premium school for digital education is what IIDE is going to look like 5 years from now. We will not only have a nationwide presence but also capture other Asian subcontinent markets. We will also be expanding our services by teaching other digital skills such as data science, AI, Machine Learning, etc. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Karan Shah: Be obsessed with customer feedback. Not only your paying customers but your employees as well. They are your first customers who are buying into your vision. Analyze how your company is functioning through employee feedback and improve your products/services through customer feedback. Aim to make both of them happy to ensure your solutions are accurate and that you gain recognition for being problem-solvers. To sum it for you, be obsessed with making your internal and external customers happy.
