Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? Charles P: When I was 5 years old, I handled classes in the evening(as a game) for children younger than me. The classes were very interesting, in that many parents sent their children to the classes. This went on for some days. When I used to be in the school & college, during classes I always day dreamt how I would handle the same classes in my style and in a much simpler way. So, I always wanted to be a trainer(& not a teacher) who walked the talk and talked the walk. Eventually I became a trainer within 8 months of starting my career, however because of my exceptional performance in training students, I got promoted very quickly as an Assistant manager and then as a Manager Training, and I couldn't handle classes myself but had to train, monitor and bring up trainers under me. Subsequently I became an HR manager, taking care of both training and a lot of HR activities. Whenever I decided to leave my current job, I would want to start my own Training institute, however I didn't have the courage to start it. This went on for more than 13 years and finally with 13+ years of experience in Training as well HR, I had the biggest urge to start my company in October 2017. I was working as a Deputy Manager HR in a very big manufacturing company at that time. It was a tough choice, no one was supportive of my decision. However, I formed this company in December 2017 only with the support of God, as a private limited company while still serving my notice period in that company. Finally, I got relieved from my job in February and this company was launched in June 2018. My company is a unique blend of training, recruitment & OD functions. There is no industry of any size that we can't cater to. There are many recruitment agencies. Great Companies: What are the various services and products provided by your company?

Charles P: We are a professional HR company who don't charge any penny for placing candidates unlike many who do. We also provide free internships for MBA and other course candidates on HR, Marketing, and Content Writing.Because of that we also have a very big database from which we can easily meet our clients'  requirements.

We have a highly engaged team of employees who work closely with clients in getting their requirements filled in a short time. Our training is the best which is practical and very interactive and result-oriented. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Charles P: Being a startup company, we have been facing challenges and struggles from day one till date. Initially, it was hard for me to attract talented employees to work with us, as they thought it was a small company. Everyone wants to work in a big company with 100+ employees. However, the situation has changed a lot now, as we have built our reputation and many are interested in joining us. One of my employees stole all our company's data such as clients' and candidates' database which was the first big blow for me within the first year of starting my company. Even some clients have cheated us by stealing our candidates without our knowledge, not paying us citing silly reasons, delaying payments and so on. My company is located in KK nagar, Trichy which is not the central part of our city, so though many were interested, they couldn't come to the classes or sessions that we conduct. Being the first time entrepreneur from my family, and running this company without any partners to assist, I made a lot of mistakes, however I have corrected and now we are on the right track. Great Companies: What do you think are the few main things which are most important for a successful business? Charles P: Being customer-oriented and not dumping some product or solution on them. We need to keep customers first and should not lose their trust by satisfying our needs or big clients or politicians. Building a highly engaged workforce who will take care of the business no matter if somebody is monitoring them or not.Using highly advanced software which will reduce errors and bring good results.

Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? Amita Gadre: I am a qualified clinical nutritionist with eight plus years of nutrition education. After working as a consultant for multiple hospitals, I decided to work in the field of preventive medicine and help make nutrition and healthy eating easier for people. In our times of information explosion, nutrition is being made unnecessarily complicated and hard to follow. My efforts are always focused towards enabling people to understand their own nutritional needs and stop the vicious cycle of 'dieting'. It is high time people stopped focusing on eating 'nutrients' and went back to eating 'wholesome, balanced and real food'. 'The core benefit of eating right is having the energy to meet your dreams and to live a fulfilling lifestyle.' - this the belief that my work is founded upon.

It is based on the solid foundation of years of scientific training and implementing the same principles in the daily life of my clients and my own family. I am different because I don't want you to be dieting, I don't take your happy away- I make you more energetic and you learn to embrace all that you can achieve with mindful eating and a fit active life. Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Amita Gadre: In these days of instant gratification, it is challenging to make people understand that real transformations take time and some effort. Educating the customer to not fall for people who do not have the scientific training in nutrition and to focus on their well being and not fall for social pressures, is a challenge.

Great Companies: Please tell me something about the business and how did you come up with such an idea? Amalendu Hajraa: We came into the User experience business in India while most of the companies are yet to find out the utility of proper user experience and how it can lead your business towards profit via customer retention and increment in conversion. We are still educating people about this. After leaving the job of Head of UX at Pepperfry, I decided to start a studio of my own which will help other startups to use the power of User Experience and Customer Experience that Pepperfry and other giant startups utilize. So I restarted Web2UI as a focused UX and CX design company. Web2UI was in existence from 2006 till 2011 before as a web and mobile app design and development company.

Amalendu Hajraa: I am designing experiences for web and mobile for last 12 years, I had designed mobile apps for iPhone 2 and even before that some Symbian based system for Nokia.. so I can say I am in the market for quite a lot of time.. and I have been upgrading myself to the latest UX methods and techniques and designed all kind of products .. e-commerce to forex trading, iOT to AR/VR, simple to most complex app.. and have worked for brands like Walmart, Porsche, NSF, Pepperfry etc. Whom else can you trust if you can't trust me with the design? Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face? Amalendu Hajraa: Challenges are two ways. One is getting the right design team members, now many engineering students are becoming designers who are good at design terms and technologies but hardly they have a good aesthetic sense. The other challenge is getting the right project where clients allow us to follow our design method with enough time. Also, still, people are not spending enough on design as they don't know how important it is. Great Companies: What do you think are the few main things which are most important for a successful business? Amalendu Hajraa: Many businesses doesn't care about their team members. They think the designers and engineers are stuff and labours, and they can be hired or fired any time we have to change this mentality and consider them as part of your core team who can also suggest you on projects handling or how the clients should be handled and should be given proper responsibilities. Also, many companies are working for a very cheap cost to win businesses and intern they are just creating bad quality tech products.
