Great Companies: Can you commence by telling a little about your business? Astha Jain:In today's world, we really need to be aware & conscious about our skin's wellbeing that's why we have created a line of natural Ayurvedic skincare and haircare products fused with the ancient Ayurvedic herbs that naturally blends health and beauty and rejuvenates your skin inside out. Blessed with the knowledge and skill of ACHARYAS from all around the country we deliver products that address the most important needs and meet the most demanding requirements in skincare. Initially, we intended to make STUSHI AYURVEDA a skincare brand. However, things quickly changed and as our customers grew, and so did the demand for STUSHI AYURVEDA products and new products were launched....... i soon realized that it was our combination of natural, ayurvedic herbs and the fact that they were being prepared from the very own blessed hands of AYURVEDIC ACHARYAS made a significant impact on my client’s skin health and gave STUSHI AYURVEDA competitive advantage over other existing brands.

Q. Great Companies:  What are the major issues faced while running this firm? Shalini Juneja: In 2014 when Being Alive came into existence out of my transformation; I just wanted to inspire & empower people. I only used to think that “How can I contribute to people who are dealing in their lives and have no access to come out of it.” I wasn’t sure of anything and had no guidance, no team, no strategy and plan. I also had to face a lot of criticism from family and people around, who thought that it was not a wise decision to leave a well-established career and start something new from the scratch which involved a lot of risk in my career. But I was somehow very determined and firm on my decision as I believe that, in every big step there’s always a risk involved but there’s a bigger risk in playing safe. If a batsman keeps taking singles, he’s playing safe but also has no opportunity to get a six without taking a risk to hit the ball hard for it. So, I was clear, “life happens out of our comfort zone.” Q. Great Companies:  What led you to this field? Shalini Juneja: I started my career in 2000 as an educational counsellor. It was an amazing journey of 14 years where I grew working with many organisations as project leader, consultant, trainer, advisor and Business Head. My confidence, commitment and leadership skills made me a performer throughout my career graph. I got introduced to this wonderful and life altering process called coaching in 2011 and experienced a shift within me that has changed my perception for life. Suddenly my entire focus got shifted from me to others; For the first time in my life I asked this question to myself, “What’s the purpose of my life and what’s my contribution to the world?” I was a transformed human being and strongly felt the need to spread this beautiful work and let the whole world know about this. In 2014 I resigned from my job where I was holding the position of Business head in a leading company and decided to follow my new dream to transform people by empowering them.

Great Companies: Kindly brief the services provided by your firm. Aayush Chaudhary: I am the founder and Principal Architect at ACad Studio. ACad Studio is a construction consultancy firm. We provide services like: Architecture Design, Interior Design, Construction Project Management, BIM and Turnkey Solutions. Great Companies: Why should one choose ACad design studio over others? Aayush Chaudhary: ACad Studio aims at uplifting the standards of small/medium size projects in India, which are neglected. We work with new technologies and techniques to provide a world class service to a sector where the importance of design and management has been neglected for so long. We work with techniques used in huge infrastructure projects even in small and medium scale projects to manage the design and its execution. We believe in pre-planning everything and our designs are unique. The studio has a philosophy of ‘form follows function’ and rich knowledge of different architecture style. The Studio is not afraid to experiment with different architecture style to produce the best functioning and aesthetics of the building. We understand the implications that can occur while designing and execution because of our rich experienced team, hence we foresee risk during pre-planning and help client mitigate them. With our management system we help client save a lot of money and time during construction. Great Companies: Why do you think it is necessary to hire a design studio? Aayush Chaudhary: Its necessary to hire a design studio, because only trained professionals can help one build a desired building taking into account all the factors in the design. An untrained, non-professional or a self-claimed architect can not fully understand all aspects of design and will not be able to produce a building which is flawless. Architects are trained for 5 years in the design college to tackle any sort of problem and come with the best design under all circumstances, which I believe a self-proclaimed architect cannot do create. Also, the client’s need to understand that without hiring a professional, there are chances that the quality of spaces that will be created will not be up to the mark and might not even be liveable. Great Companies: What was the intention behind the initiation of this venture? Aayush Chaudhary: As stated above, the intention behind the initiation of this venture is to uplift the standards of Indian Construction sector, as we are still primitive in this field and too afraid of the change. The Indian Construction sector constitutes 8% to nation’s GDP and we can save a lot of money while doing so by adopting various new techniques, enhancing our technology, upgrading our safety equipment and guidelines and creating new design philosophies. ACad Studio is not just an architecture studio, but a construction consultancy firm where we tend to solve all the problems related to construction with confidence of creating the best outcome from the situation. We believe in sustainable process, where each and everything is taken care of. With our design ideology, we want to make a mark on India’s skyline, hoping to create a better future for everyone involved in the process. Great Companies: Do you have any message for the young graduates in the field? Aayush Chaudhary: I am actually very young, I am just 24 years old. But I would like to say to my fellow architects that we should not only think about creating good designs, but we should also think about the proper execution. We should focus on the smallest detail and elaborate it, so that everything on the site takes place in a controlled manner. For recently graduates, I would like to say, there is a lot to explore in this field and one should never stop learning and innovating.

Great Companies: Can you commence by telling us a little bit about TNS Networking?Sanjeev Jain: I am a serial entrepreneur. My tech co called TNS (Technology Never Sleeps) develops  large IT Infra for  Railways, Honda, L&T, NDTV, Ireo etc. We have a team of 200 people approx with experts of different domains like Networking, Cyber Security, Video Communications, Infrastructure Security & Extra Low Voltage (PA & EVAC Systems, Building Management Systems) etc.  Currently I am working on my 3rd venture where I train entrepreneurs to use cutting edge Technology to fully automate their business & run it from their smart phone. I have trained over 3000 entrepreneurs including owners & directors from companies like Okaya, Action TESA, Mikrotek, Anmol Biscuits on using cutting edge Technology to streamline their business and run it from a smartphone with complete automation. I am an MBA from the IIFT, Delhi with over 25 years of business experience. I am married to Ekta and have two sons Abhinav (20) and Arjun (17). I am an active Rotarian and  a support Director in BNI. Great Companies: With the onset of Global Pandemic Coronavirus, do you think it will be a major setback for budding entrepreneurs? Sanjeev Jain: No, the setback is temporary. This will only give a push to my ideology - "Disrupt your business yourself before you get it as a gift from someone". We are in the world of VUCA, this Pandemic has only given us a glimpse into the future. Most businesses will not survive if they do not reinvent themselves. With exponential growth of Technologies such as AI, Cloud, IOT & Robotics, a huge amount of repetitive work will be automated. Businesses that do not add value in new and unique ways will be eliminated. It's time to sit back and re-evaluate your business. What problem is your business solving ? Is it worth solving anymore ? Can you solve it better than others using the latest technology ? Its time to automate all the routine work in your business and start thinking of the Next Thing for your industry\domain.  Great Companies: You have a lot of Happy Consumers gathering from your testimonials, how do you manage to keep them so happy? Sanjeev Jain: Being an entrepreneur with 3 successful businesses, I was seriously frustrated with the amount of hard work I had to put into each company to keep it alive. Our rote based education system doesn't prepare us for business challenges and most entrepreneurs are re-inventing the wheel and finding their own solutions to common problems - How to get orders, how to manage production, how to get people to follow processes, how to minimize errors, how to get paid on time etc. I even attended long & expensive trainings by many business coaches but found that their theories are difficult if not impossible to implement in a real business. I have therefore developed a completely practical approach in my company to develop "Repeatable Systems" using tech to solve all these issues permanently. This is the reason why our clients are happy and find lasting value in our offerings. Great Companies: What is the success mantra behind your company’s progress till date?Sanjeev Jain: Our success mantra is to add "Ultra-Value" for our customers in all our solutions. Whatever we provide is practical with zero theory and demonstrated applications that we have tested in  our own 3 companies. Furthermore, we are constantly finding new technology to solve the same old business problems in more innovative ways and training our customers on using the same

Great Companies: What is your success mantra that has helped you over years? Angad Pal Singh: I pursue a belief, which inspired me to leave my job and bring this firm into existence in 2012 and this belief is something that has been a success mantra for us. I believe that in everything we do professionally, we have to take care of three things: incorporate the fundamental principle of excellence, endeavour to bring simplicity to the user and to ensure value creation from the service you offer. Our firm has lived by these principles, and this is why our clients trust us and we not only earn their assignments, but also their patronage. Great Companies: That's intriguing. Can you little bit brief us about these three aspects and how do you make them come true in every assignment? Angad Pal Singh: Excellence & accuracy, are, I believe, indispensable. They are not even a trait, They are the basic reasons for which a client outsources a process. Now with the tendency to earn more out of an assignment, firms usually leverage through trainees and less competent staff and then get the supervision done from an expert. We have done an excellence innovation by putting in place a system, wherein every task in an assignment is executed by the expert only, and that doesn't mean we earn less, we ensure our earnings in an assignment at par or at times higher than our market counterparts, by engaging technology to do major tasks with excellence accuracy. By simplicity we mean, the interface for the client has to be very simple. The interface to provide us the inputs and to enjoy the output. We tend to achieve this by a deep interaction with the client in the beginning of the assignment to let him speak his heart out from where we gather the real objectives of the client behind deciding to entrust the assignment. We ensure that we deliver him the synopsis depicting what is of value to him instead of long lengthy reports that encapsule almost everything which the client may not need. And value creation is something that needs no explanation, though, but in our industry, while few assignments are by nature value creating, but as you know the compliance assignments are seen as a burden, which is true to some extent because they do not create any value. We ensure to bring valuable insights for the customers from the compliance assignments as well, so that every time they pay us, they have the perception of earning out of it. Great Companies: Why did you choose to be a boutique consulting firm? Angad Pal Singh: My personal experience says, in India we believe in interpersonal dealings. Businesses want to trust one person or organisation for as many things as possible. So to bring many solutions under one roof for the clients, we chose to be a multi-speciality firm while ensuring the focus by having a strong team of associates specialising in their own respective areas of study. Great Companies:  What are the difficulties that are being faced by new consulting firms? Angad Pal Singh: I cannot be very sure of that but from what I've gathered from my limited interaction with junior professionals, they face lack of negotiation capabilities with the client despite the fact that they are much competent to handle the work. This is disappointing because CA is a profession, it's not a normal service and every CA is equally competent to do the job. I personally recommend every professional to join toastmasters where you learn leadership qualities, communication and negotiation skills, and alongside you build a network of global presence. I have been a part of toastmasters since long and it has indeed helped me a lot. Great Companies:  Are you thinking of recruiting more advisors any time soon? Angad Pal Singh: We do not recruit, we associate. Our tendency is to have more partners than employees. We associate with specialists to widen our scope of assignments. Yes we are open to build new associations at all times, provided the person on the other side has the same mindset of delivering with excellence, simplicity and value creation.
