- Arvind Khinvesra- Founder of Achieve ThySelf
Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? Arvind Khinvesra: We are in the business of enhancing human potential. A public speaking training that I had attended in my final year of engineering completely changed me as a person and also had a big impact on my life. Knowing that right coaching can change lives, I always had this dream of helping people find their true potential. I was working as a professional for 22 years, first in manufacturing domain and then in IT. The aha moment happened when one of my cousin sister, during a casual conversation, told me that talking to you solves a lot of problems for us. And this without me giving any solutions. That's what made me realize that i could be a coach to people and help them find their answers. Great Companies: What are the various services and products provided by your company? Arvind Khinvesra: I offer 4 kinds of services: 1) Coaching - Working on specific challenges, both personal and professional with the individual and helping them overcome these by helping them become aware and change their thought processes. These are done both in a person coaching and group coaching environment. 2) Employee Trainings - I help organizations develop their employees' competencies. through corporate trainings in areas of soft skills and project management. 3) Open Workshops - For individuals who want to hone their skills and organizations who may want a few of their employees to be groomed in specific areas. 4) Personal and Group Coaching for Public Speaking and Presentation skills. Great Companies: Why should one choose you over others in this field? Arvind Khinvesra: Personal attention and flexible approach. Our offerings are customized according to the clients needs. Also, we adapt our approach according to what our client feels comfortable with. We strongly believe that our clients know all that needs to be done, but are unable to implement because it could be conflicting with their beliefs and values. Our role is to help them identify these and figure out a solution that is aligned to their thought processes. This makes it easy for them to imbibe and implement. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Arvind Khinvesra: Biggest challenge is client expectations. Clients look unto us as consultants than a coach. They expect ready made answers while we help them arrive at their answers. This is a challenge initially as it is against the normal ways of working with a coach they may have experienced earlier. However, after two or three sessions they realize the value of this process and are able to appreciate it. Its takes a while for the clients to realize that "We don't provide solutions, we help them find theirs". Great Companies: What do you think are the few main things which are most important for a successful business? Arvind Khinvesra: 1) Learnability - World is changing faster than ever. And what we know today could soon become irrelevant. Businesses that are willing to learn new skills and explore new areas will be more successful. Resting on past laurels and legacy could lead to downfall quicker than expected. 2)Adaptability - Ability to respond to changes around and adapt as per the new paradigm is the key to success. Businesses that are tuned and sensitive to the small changes happening around and structurally able to adjust according to the situations would be more successful 3) Looking ahead - People who worry about what happened and live in the past will have challenges going forward. Rather than worrying about what could have been, learning from past experiences and moving ahead with what needs to be done now will enable businesses to cover up the past losses and grow beyond.

- Kunal Rajeshbhai Pitala- Founder of Keen Pencil Industries
Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? Kunal Rajeshbhai Pitala: Statistics says that approximately 4.00 Lacs trees of 60 feet height each are being cut in order to make wooden pencils only in India. This is great matter of concern and volume needs to be brought down for saving our Mother Nature. We are into manufacturing of pencils made from recycled newspapers, recycled papers and also into pens made from recycled kraft paper since 2017 having equal stength, easy to sharp with normal sharpner, fineness in writing and most importantly safe for children because our pencils are EN-71 (part 3) certified with 2B Darkness. Way back in 2017, i was planning to set up something, a new venture but was not clear enough of the directions to go. During this stage our Honourable PM Shri Narendra Modi had started Go-Green Initiative to save our mother nature avoiding use of plastics and other items. This Go-Green initiative motivated me to do something for environment and from this i decided to jump in this Eco-Friendly manufacturing business. Great Companies: What are the various services and products provided by your company?

Customized Newspaper / paper pencils (customized with name of clients / corporate). 4. Plantable Books (Books that grow in a plant). 5. Kraft Paper Paper Pen. 7. Seed Kraft Paper Pen (pens that grow in plant by keeping it in pot). 8. Seed Balls (Balls that grow in a plant). Great Companies: Why should one choose you over others in this field? Kunal Rajeshbhai Pitala: Approximately a 20-feet Pine tree needs to be cut down to make 2500 pencils and there are over 15 billion pencils produced worldwide every year so you think how much trees we cut down every year. Through adopting Recycled Paper Pencils and Seed Recycle Paper Pencils every one of us can contribute for environment. As you know for manufacturing for 15 billion pencils per year we need for about 60,000 trees. If we adopt recycled paper pencils then we save these all trees and make our mother earth greener. These Recycled/Upcycled Paper/Newspaper Pencils are 100% wood or polymer free and we used high quality waste paper. The waste paper which used for manufacturing for these Recycle Paper Pencils is properly cleaned and makes human friendly. Why should you opt for recycled paper pencils over wooden pencils? Lightweight High strength Elegant design Long lasting Smooth writing Sharpens easily 100% eco-friendly By making a small change in your daily life by using wooden free Keen's Paper Pencils we can put a large environmental effect over time. Keen Pencil Industries has wide range of eco-friendly recycled paper pencils which are available in various sizes and designs.

People are yet not properly educated / aware of this product. Buyers need to understand the stage in which we are right now amid this global warming and try to opt for products which are eco-friendly and thus helping mother nature.

- Jeanette Peterson- Founder of Infinite Yoga & Wellness
Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? Jeanette Peterson: I went through a large personal growth and transformation in my life and Yoga helped me on my journey. I was helping people by default whilst working in the Corporate space and decided that the best way I could help people was to start my own Yoga & Wellness business. I have a natural pioneering spirit and I realised that the standard westernised Yoga was not giving people the expansion in life that it had brought me. So I decided to start my business and do it very differently to everyone else around me. I have a vision of a great world and believe ancient yogic philosophy and practices threaded into the modern world have the ability to deliver on my vision. I feel a strong sense of purpose and drive to bring the expansion I have had in my live to as many people as I can and to leave a legacy behind that will continue long after I have departed this life. Great Companies: What are the various services and products provided by your company? Jeanette Peterson: I offer services one on one which is not common in Yoga in Australia. Most people know very little about Yoga and some go to exercise classes and even fewer try their hand at meditation but the vast majority of people I meet know nothing of how to bring the beauty and wonder of yogic philosophy into their everyday life. I work with people of all ages and all walks of life. Some pay and some cannot afford to pay. It is through the yogic message of pure love that I can support significant personal growth for people. I help individuals overcome tragedy in their lives, overcome obstacles, imprints from their childhood holding them back and help families create a practice that expands their understanding of one another. I believe it is my life's purpose to do this work and it brings me great joy. My focus is to teach people that all the power they need to have the life they choose exits within them. Therefore the processes I use are all about empowerment of the individual. I simply shine my light on them and it helps them to see their own way forward. Great Companies: Why should one choose you over others in this field? Jeanette Peterson: My service is personalised to their individual needs and focuses on what they want to achieve in their life. It is not a one shoe fits all approach. By empowering them it enables them to empower others in their circle and creates a ripple effect that over time will change our world as we know it. I am clear on my why. People who choose my business do so because they feel connected to my why, it resonates within them. People don't buy what you do or how you do it, they buy why you do it. My approach is genuine and people feel it. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Jeanette Peterson: There are always struggles and challenges in a business model that can't follow the standard road map. That doesn't bother me at all. I am a strategic thinker and I see the road ahead clearly so I am prepared to do the hard work of the visionary to cut that path and lay a foundation for others to follow. I have a strong sense of connectedness and it drives my purposes even when times get tough. I left a high paying corporate job to pursue my vision of a better world for everyone. I am patient in knowing that when you cut into new space you need to educate and develop relationships and understanding. Then in time people will begin to follow your lead and eventually a tipping point can be reached. I am no stranger to struggles and challenges both personally and professionally. I am known in both my work and personal life for passion, resilience and persistence. Great Companies: What do you think are the few main things which are most important for a successful business? Jeanette Peterson: Have an overall plan, be rock solid in your Why and be prepared to pivot regularly. If you are on a path and not cutting your own you are probably on someone elses path, not your own. Listen more than you speak, gain understanding and remain open to opportunities that come your way. Embrace disruption and change that comes from it and always remain curious. I have found myself where I am by maintaining my curiosity and not being fixed in the exact path forward. Keep your heart and mind open to possibilities and be prepared to change your view when information comes to hand that shows you another way forward. Above all love what you do and only do what you love, because people will feel it and so will you.
