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.

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.

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.

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.
