Great Companies: How do you ensure your customers’ satisfaction? Ilamurugu K:We ask for guest feedback twice during the dining. The first one, we just check with them after 10 mins of the first appetizer's arrival. We ask "How is the taste of the food? Do let us know if you have any issues, we will get it changed." The second time is, when the guest has completed eating the entire course of meal, before they ask for the bill, we seek the feedback of their overall dining experience including all the food that was served to them. We take inputs on our improvement areas and make a note of it. Later during the end of day, the same issues will be discussed with the team and solutions will be discussed. Here we bring in inclusivity by making the customers a part of our system and we assure them that we are listening to them. Hence most of my business comes through referrals, which was why we reached out to become a BNI member. Great Companies: What are the amenities provided at cafe? Ilamurugu K:Wi-fi, Board Games, we have a high end sound system with imported speakers installed (by a fellow BNI member Mr. Srenivasan of Mark Technologies, Coimbatore who is an expert in home theatre systems and the only company in the world to make customers experience all three formats of sound - Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X under one roof). So at our cafe, customers can play their own playlist from the mobile through our speakers, or watch their favorite web-series or Movies from Prime, Netflix streaming from our TV, while they enjoy our food  Great Companies:  How was your initial years? Kindly brief your journey. Ilamurugu K:It's been just over a year since we started this. Fine dining concept is not new to the market of Erode but the number of players are few, less than 10 we could say. There are multiple reasons for the same. People here prefer to open dining than a closed one. They want a play area for the kids and that should be in the vicinity from the dining, so that they can supervise the kids. They prefer of lot of local foods, compared to multi-cuisine formats. This was one of our biggest challenges so far to help them make a shift. We didn't invest enough in marketing since we were struggling with manpower and hence our focus was to establish a well-known brand rather than aiming for great top-line numbers. Great Companies:  There has been a huge rise in the number of cafes, what makes you unique and keeps you going in the race? Ilamurugu K:Innovation - We introduce 5-6 recipes as special of the month. Say if we are planning for a Special of the month for may, we start working from April 1 with a calendar of events. By 7th day of the month, we will ask the staffs to come up with a list of 8-10 dishes with recipes. We sit with them and brain storm to narrow down to 6 dishes by analysing the ingredient availability, affordability,etc.  By 15th of the month, we do in-house trials and try to improve the recipes. By 20th of the month, we invite guests from outside for a feedback sharing session. They will be given each of the 6 dishes for tasting and they are supposed to rate the dishes on portion size, taste, presentation, a suggestive price and any other specific feedbacks.  By 24th of the month, we have a photography session for those dishes that are shortlisted. (To be used for Digital Promotions) By 28th we will get a special menu card designed and printed. Attached are sample special of the month menu cards for your reference. Education - We educate our customers on how each food is prepared, what are the ingredients used to cook it and how it tastes.  Both of the above put together along with our activities mentioned earlier in customer satisfaction, we make sure that no guest walks out without a smile. Hence we have carved out a niche for ourselves. Great Companies:  What programs can be conducted within the premises? Ilamurugu K:We have a seperate banquet hall with a seating capacity of 70 people. Ideal for Birthday Parties, Get-togethers, Farewell, Customer Meets, Training Programs, Retirement Functions, 25th / 60th Wedding Anniversary Functions.

Swati Maheshwari MindHour Education Company Details We bridge the in-school and after-school learning of students. And Empower STUDENTS | TEACHERS | SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION | PARENTS What challenges have you overcome to reach where you are now Starting a start up from scratch is a journey full of challenges. Be it working 18hours a day, not taking a day off from work for 3 consecutive years, there are challenges all over. Sometimes you feel you have got everything, suddenly you realise you have lost everything! But with more than half a decade of my experience now, my learning is - “problems/ challenges come to instruct not to obstruct”! What message you want to give for other aspiring women entrepreneurs Work for your “ownself” and “your passion”. Do not work to show it off to society, your husband / families or for that matter anyone in the world! Work because it gives “you” the satisfaction and happiness! “Remember - People around will never be satisfied with whatever hard you may do!” To what do you attribute your success My family and specially my Husband. I am fortunate to be blessed with a life partner who respects me and acknowledges my talent, supports me in my endeavours. Encouragement always acts a catalyst in one’s success. And yes at the end, I would pat my own back too :) Without my own grit & determination and without God’s will, this wouldn’t have been possible indeed! I everyday thank God to have blessed me with all the above to have made this possible. Website or Social Media Page www.mindhour.com

Anurama Suresh Shreehi Consulting Services LLP Emotional Wellness for Couple to handle mind challenges in the areas of Fertility / Pre-Conception / Pregnancy / Post-Delivery & Early Parenting Years Company Details 27.5 million married Indian couple suffer from infertility issues. Shreehi is the only consolidated platform that helps both men & women handle & overcome their infertility related mind issues. Shreehi is a trained team of women NLP Practitioners & psychologists. The term “Shreehi” is from Sanskrit denoting “Divine Mother”. Shreehi focuses predominantly in the emotional wellness for couple during pre-conception, pregnancy & post delivery. Shreehi was recognized as one amongst 15 women led start-up companies (pan India) to be incubated at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore. Shreehi has 73 successful pregnancies and has hosted workshops on “Conscious Conception” at various hospitals in Bangalore. What challenges have you overcome to reach where you are now Leading at team of women who can comfortably work from home with 100% work life balance and still making a difference in the society was my first driving instinct. Though most of Shreehi’s mind coaching sessions happen over video conferencing mode, I realized that breaking through the stigma for couple to opt for counselling / coaching was a big step. With consistent efforts, Shreehi now has a network of Doctors, who recommend our services to their patients. We also realized that we did not belong to the hospitals’ space of growing our business. I realized that ethically I did not like instilling fear in the minds of people and push them to repeated rounds of fertility treatments. Me and my team at Shreehi only focuses on B2C mode of operating our business. Word of mouth recommendations have been our key initiator in generating revenue. Retaining the team of talented professionals and keeping them motivated amidst all odds, has also been a major challenge for me as a woman entrepreneur. What message you want to give for other aspiring women entrepreneurs Stay focused on your dreams & goals. You need not pretend to have the traits of a man to become a successful entrepreneur. Your feminine traits of vulnerability, sensitivity, resilience and a strong will power is all you need. Have a set of girl friends who can pump your spirits whenever you want to totally give up on your venture. It is very important to pamper yourself – Meditate, read books of Great Saints / Masters, take a stroll in nature, play with your kids, bond with your family.. Your venture is just another identity. Never allow it to swallow you and your authentic true nature. To what do you attribute your success I attribute my success to my hard work and a knowing that the Divine life force is guiding me all along. There have been times where I had faced tremendous challenges. My family, my parents & my in-laws have been my true pillars of strength. I also realized that through this journey, I have only fallen in love with myself for being ME. My measure of success has been in terms of making a difference in the life of a fellow human being. Money comes to me as a natural by-product. Website or Social Media Page www.shreehi.com

Rena Elizabeth Striegel Transition Point Business Advisors Business Consulting Company Details We provide consulting services to family owned businesses. We specialize in succession planning, strategic planning, leadership development and executive coaching. What challenges have you overcome to reach where you are now I have overcome bad business partnerships, financial failure and barriers to establish myself in a business environment that does not easily accept women (we specialize in agriculture.) The biggest challenge, however, has been overcoming my own fears and insecurities. I have struggled with Impostor Syndrome - feeling like someone would call me out for not knowing what I was talking about. I know we all struggle with issues like these but after coming through situations where I have felt threatened (bad partnerships), I had a strong desire to hide for fear of what someone might say about me. I now know that what others might say has very little impact. We must be brave in order to achieve what we were put on this earth to do. These challenges have made me stronger and much more resilient. What message you want to give for other aspiring women entrepreneurs Entrepreneurship is very complex. You will have the best days of your life and probably some of your worst trying to turn an idea into a business. The one thing that will hold you steady through it all is passion. Knowing WHY you must bring that idea to life and being totally committed to it is absolutely essential. Businesses fail everyday because someone thought it was going to be easy and was not committed to doing the work. If you are committed to doing what is required - no matter what and no matter what anyone else might say or think about it - then go for it. Take the leap and bring your idea into the world! To what do you attribute your success Tenacity - pushing through tough times, finding great people to work with, and never being so in love with the product that I couldn't adapt when it was required.
