Great Companies: Can you commence by telling a little about your organisation? Snekha Singaravelu: The Company Carmanor Advisory and Management Services Private Limited was started up after a long discussion with my elder sister, Sumirti, and she was continuously throwing away all sort of questions to find my pulse and my burning desire. We together attended lot of women programs and award functions to get the rage within us to start this up. Our organisation Carmanor got its name from Greek mythology meaning Harvest, and thus we decided us tagline too, Harvest the Best Solutions. We’re taking all little baby steps to make our organisation an all-woman office in future. Great Companies: Women empowerment is one of the most sensitive topics in today's world, how do you manage to provide it the justice it needs in a country like India ? Snekha Singaravelu: Yes! Very true, it’s one of the most sensitive topic and I have personally experienced how a woman gets treated when she wants to play a crucial role in an organisation. I attended a first interview way back in 2016 and I was interviewed by senior KMP of an organisation and as the interview started he asked me whether I know the importance of Board Meetings and its confidentiality. Being a Company Secretary I said yes I know, and he immediately said these exact words “Board Room is like a Bed Room” and that shocked me and I just wanted to leave that place. I ran coming out of that building after my interview and wanted to get back home. I have the urge to hire women in a more strength in future than men in our organisation, because I want to make women feel that they’re safe and that they can effectively play their roles. I don’t blame men completely and I have equal experience of woman letting down another women equally. As I have experienced both, I want to create a friendly and fun-filled, pressure free environment for people who have the urge to succeed in their life and I am working towards that. Great Companies:  What are the wide range of services provided ? Snekha Singaravelu: Carmanor is an integrative organization providing business, legal and financial advisory services to Indian and multi-national corporates and we strive to assist entrepreneurs and clients in fine tuning their business ideas, evaluate the execution strategies, and successfully win over the tide of legal complexities. We make our clients (A)cts legal by keeping their compliance records clean. Our aim is to provide the complete chain of services to a corporate – from its creation as a legal entity, identifying the source of right capital, liaison with various government and quasi government bodies to ensure all the various legal compliances, building business model and strategy,  accounting and auditing, setting up branches in India/abroad, providing RBI and FEMA related legal guidance, Mergers and acquisitions, disinvestment, demerger etc, Great Companies:  How do you motivate women to stand for themselves and what all organisations have you collaborated with? Snekha Singaravelu: Our entity model is quite different and we haven’t set up any business space as of now. We aimed at collaborating and associating with various women services providers outside and have succeeded in that. We have supports from certain parts of Tamil Nadu, Bangalore, Mumbai and of course mainly in Chennai. We have hired few women who can work from their home to support us in documentations and we have absolute pressure free policies for the same. We set a comfortable deadlines and we could deliver our clients, the services too on time. This idea popped-up when one of my friends was telling me that she is looking for additional financial support by working from home and that’s the first association our Company made. Woman are always self-motivated and the only thing that stops them is the fear that grows inside them and that needs to be smashed. I have given few career counselling to collages/schools located at outskirts of Chennai and I have received calls from female students that they want to enrol for professional courses and that they got inspired from me. They have enrolled too which made me happy. I am in Chennai from 30th December 2014 and I have been here without a penny, walking for 5kms to 10kms as I wasn’t having money to afford a bus ticket, was unable to pay PG for 2-3 months. Though my mom is a teacher and my dad was an advocate, we belong to a normal struggling middle class family. My father’s earnings reduced drastically after his by-pass surgery and family was dependent on mother’s earnings. Now we have grown enough to settle by setting up a business in Chennai and I will be grateful for this throughout my life. It’s all because of the mental support that I received from my parents and other good soul whom I met and meeting in this journey that guided to be strong and independent. This is what required for a woman to break the barrier and succeed and whenever I got to college/school for counselling, this is what I say to them. When I can, every women Can do this. Great Companies:  What do you plan to achieve 5 years down the line? Snekha Singaravelu: During my internship years, it was quite difficult for me to foresee what was coming. I had set up simple goals which I know I could achieve. In the upcoming five years, I want to test myself. I have set up targets which can bring out the best of me. These objectives deal with making decisions that were tough but fruitful. In my initial years, I tried to play it safe which most people do. The five years I see ahead of me are full of responsibilities which need better decisiveness. I am sure the years will be mutually progressive for me and the organization. Also, I have decided to keep a part from my earning to set up an NGO that would help fellow human who are struggling to survive and I realise more than earning and living a luxurious life, it is important to help others equally. "Feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong, it's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." -  G.D. Anderson

Only difference is the film is for a much larger audience and our projects are for a single entity(the client). Once that is met and the client is happy, in the process you've served the client well. And the process involves casting of your own team to create everyday and work around a narrative. Great Companies:  How are you able to build a "perspective for your clients"? Sachin Ambekar: We always believe that it is important to create something which is for the "greater good", so to speak. But not necessarily a client might see from a designer's POV always. Hence we constantly try to educate our client as well, rather than imposing our choices of materials/ forms for a specific design brief. And that's why design has always been a collaborative process, as it is not only for designers satisfaction but also for a client by end of the day. And as one of my mentors Puran Kumar once said, "Good thing about perspective is that it can be changed". We believe in that. That's why we believe in convincing a client as opposed to just dropping ideas on them with no context or thought as to how we have arrived at the design conclusion. Great Companies:   Why should any potential client choose you ? Sachin Ambekar: Choosing a designer for a project is based on several aspects, sometimes cursory or with in-depth research. With the current scenario, there are several architects and interior designers(established as well as emerging) in the field, with outputs both on high-end and low cost spectrum. But the crux of design is not just the outcome, but the process itself. As by end of the project if the clients, craftspeople, designers have not enjoyed any part of the process, then somehow the collaboration was a failure even if it gave stark output. Moreover, we strive for design clarity and meeting deadlines more than anything in the process, as that is one of the biggest value additions for you as a designer in the project. Because one key offering apart from deliverables, is your own time to the client, which is what designers are hired for apart from their expertise in the subject. And that is what we believe is the pinnacle of the reason why our clients have got their projects designed by us, consecutively at times. Great Companies:  How do you plan to improve and increase your market reach? Sachin Ambekar: There are companies(not necessarily design oriented) which believe that - 90% of the work is to come up with an idea, that is the ultimate failure on a longer run, I believe. As what matters is the process. And with any process, there is always a room for doubt or to improve. Improvement is not only vital for any established or new company for a small span of time, but it should be a reiterating exercise that can drive the business to a better reach. In this time of lockdown, now more than ever we need to reinforce our relations with current clients and touch base with the team. In order to keep the business open for a potential clientele, social media is used at its peak right now, and that is a correct approach. Professions of the likes of doctors/ lawyers, by law we architects also cannot advertise, leaving the only way to grow business is meeting new people, which can be powered with social media apart from open design discussions on online platforms.

Great Companies: What are the various services and products that you provide? Harshit Patwari: We provide Branding solutions,Signage and Graphics for the facilities and Brand Implementation programs. Great Companies: How do you ensure the efficiency of your work? Harshit Patwari: We believe in providing solutions to our clients by adding value to their brand. We are very sensitive about using their brand identity in their own interests. By doing so we become the brand custodians for our customers and ensure efficiency prevails. We strongly believe efficiency comes once you have ownership.  Great Companies:  Why do your customers select you over your competitors? Harshit Patwari: We are called as Brand Custodians which gives us an edge when we handle our customer's brand. We strongly believe that a brand is a matter of reputation to our customers and we become very fragile while handling the same. This builds trust in our customers where we partner in their growth than just being a vendor or service provider. Great Companies:  What are the major issues faced while running this business? Harshit Patwari: Issues are a part and parcel of business. To run a strong and successful business if you do not have any issues then its plain bread and butter. Plain bread and butter is good but you need spice in life to taste a greater good. In general highly skilled people are limited in this field and this leads to a shortage in delivering what we promise. Hence this is a major issue which is faced while running this business.   Great Companies:  What led you to this field? Harshit Patwari: I was a Cloth merchant earlier and was doing good in that field. When i realized that the brand companies where not focusing more on their brand and relayed only on mouth 2 mouth advertisement - i realized a big vacuum in this space. Even after advertisement when they gave very less detail on their brand identity thats where I found a gap and wanted to plug it by realizing the importance of brand and placing Brand to the level of reputation.
