Name of Company: KeyLearning Performance Consultants Founder Name: Vijay George Kuruvilla Can you provide us with a description of your business? What was the purpose of starting this business? What issue did it want to solve? KeyLearning Performance Consultants is a Leadership Development and Business Performance Coaching consultancy. 1.

After working almost 25 years in the corporate and consulting world, I felt my experience and interest can be offered to partner with clients who consciously aim at development and growth of people and business. We aim to be the First Choice of organisations who want to improve the competencies, commitment and culture of their people and business verticals. How is it different from other competitors? The major premise on which hinges all the offerings and ideas of KeyLearning is the earnest confidence that individuals and teams can experience the Joy of Success through unlocking their innate Potential. This is the primary approach for any intervention offered by KeyLearning. The aim is to ensure that with each KeyLearning intervention, individuals and organizations gain the confidence of Self-resourcefulness and Discernment in taking decisions and developing themselves or teams. Traditionally, organizational learning and development interventions have always focused on the visible, concrete, “main event” components of learning: face-to-face programs/workshops or virtual training -that introduce new concepts, skills, tools, and behaviors. However, a significant component of the learning intervention—the ongoing sustainment and reinforcement of the new knowledge and behaviors—is often neglected or overlooked. Failing to sustain and reinforce desired behavior changes often results in a less-than-full yield—a marginal return on the original investment. It becomes more a ‘spray and pray’ approach than a ‘sustain to attain’ approach. Experience teaches that for learning initiatives to be successful, they need to be structured with the learning environment, with the nature of the work, and with the work styles and capabilities of the team who will ‘sustain’ the learning (managers, Change agents, leaders, work-flow champions etc) Hence the question asked in every individual/organization that KeyLearning will engage with are the following: • Is the organizational need that is aimed to be addressed linked with the organizational strategy? (Relevance). Learning/developmental interventions will not lead to success as they are not powered by the strategic intent and insight and hence, easily de-valued and discarded with passage of time. • What is the level of the audience who will be targeted for the learning/developmental intervention? (Reach). Ideal audience include those who exclusively contribute to the success of the organization through subject-matter expertise, leadership or as change-agents. • Who or what will be deployed for sustaining this new knowledge or changed learning environment across the organization? (Resources). Organizations/teams that properly plan and are willing to invest in and continue to allocate resources for sustaining the outcomes of the learning/development interventions meet success more frequently and in good measure. These are the clients that KeyLearning endeavors to partner with. In case the client does not bring clarity to the above, we will engage with them first to help them understand the importance of these three-pointed approach (Relevance, Reach and Resources) and how it benefits them in the long run. This also means in the corollary that KeyLearning will respectfully walk away from engagements where these are compromised There are many training organisations across India and the world. Most of them offer training sessions that improve the knowledge of the students. We want to be different in ensuring that the awareness of the competencies of the students are improved, to ensure relevance and rigor of work output all through their changing scenarios in life and work. Hence all work that we do are deeply researched and in close tandem with the organization/student to ensure complete customization to their need. This is what leads to real change of behaviour and work output. What and how are the challenges so far? How did you overcome them? Our work area is India and the Middle East. The major challenge in India has been the lack of proper learning architecture in many organisations- where training is an activity than a change management initiative. 1. However, our approach has been to having a deep business-outcome linked conversation with CHROs, CXOs about the need of skilling people as a key determinant of success that has proved to be successful. Hence we have been able to work with more than 17 different industries in our past 2.5 years of establishment and 2. The second approach of overcoming this challenge is the quality and depth of the consultants and experts we have on board for our work. All our faculty members have at least 20 years of work experience and have handled responsibilities in Operations, Training and HR in Fortune 500 companies and hence they are able to make the expected impact in organisation change and consulting work. This is the reason why we are called back by these top companies to work with them year on year. 3. We are certified in all the Global learning and consulting certifications and this helps us get access to First in Class and Best IN Class material and methods to impact our clients.

Name of Company: Divami Design Labs Founder Name: Naveen Puttagunta Can you provide us with a description of your business? What was the purpose of starting this business? What issue did it want to solve? We have been in UI/UX Design space since 2008 with a focus on delivering UX Strategy, User Research, UX & UI Design, and UI Development services for a diverse set of customers. We collaborate with clients not only on the design aspect but also aid them to convert these designs into pixel-perfect screens for mobile, web, smart TV, and wearable applications. 2016 was a turning point in our company. That is the year where we made significant changes to how we were doing things, established where we want to reach, and kind of figured a plan to go after our objectives. But, when we started the business, back n 2008, the term UI/UX was not as popular and most entrepreneurs were not so serious about it. But, the team realized the importance of digital transformation and how it can shape the future. Plus, our internal requirements in the earlier days redefined the way we wanted to go forward and we decided to start off as a design firm. How is it different from other competitors? Our emphasis on user research to deliver designs that are exceptional and stand-out, make us the best among similar players in the industry. The success of our company can be attributed to our focus on delivering perfection and ensuring full customer satisfaction. When we take up a project, we make it “our problem” so that our clients can focus on their business. There have been instances where we have gone beyond the scope of the project to do the right thing for the customer. That means playing the devil’s advocate wherever necessary, to ensure no change is unaccounted. Each decision we make is backed by solid reasons and so, more often, our clients agree with them.In our years of industry experience, we have worked with the finest B2B SaaS Platforms, Enterprise Software Product firms, Consumer (including e-commerce) Apps and Platforms, and Corporates undergoing digital transformation. What and how are the challenges so far? How did you overcome them? Well, like most startups, we've had a roller coaster ride, which means that we have had our ups and downs as well. Initially, we grew at a rapid pace, and then we did take a hit for a couple of years. I would say, there were miss calculations on our part to predict the market and our plans in approaching it. And, we saw some downtrend in our results, but, for the last four years, we have again started growing at a rapid pace. The future does look much brighter for us as a company. Coming to the challenges, the challenges that we face today are much different than what they were 12 years ago. When we started the company back in 2008, UX UI was not very popular or a known term. Very few entrepreneurs understood what UX UI was and the values it can bring for their business. It was always an uphill battle. Being a nascent industry, the talent pool was also limited. It is true when I say, the initial team was completely trained in-house on the job. But looking back now, these challenges made us resilient and allowed us to grow.

Our mission is to coach Indian Entrepreneurs on using cutting edge Technology to help them build Global Indian brands to make India proud! Despite powering top business generating billions like Sunder Pichai (Google), Satya Nadela (Microsoft) etc Indians have failed to build Global Brands from India.
