Interviewer : What Chitrani’s all about ? Mr. Chouhan: Chitrani make hand-made wooden toys for children that hark back to the traditional handicrafts and forms of entertainment of the past from Northern India, and the primary inspiration for their product design too stems from this tradition itself. Their motive is to not only bring back and revive our tradition, but to also provide long-lasting toys that not only provide a child with fun but also etch themselves into their memory and become an object they cherish forever. It's their belief that such traditions of lore must be protected and provided with a rejuvenation process, and there's no better way to achieve such a task satisfactorily than to introduce them to the younger generation and shed light on their importance there.

Their educational products are primarily geared toward school-going children from the ages of 5 to 15. Interviewer: what idea brought you to start this business? Mr. Chandra : I remarks that the main purpose has always been to provide an additional layer to education, to make learning for children much more engaging and enriching than it is for many Indian kids in the current scenario, especially with how challenging and tricky the STEM subjects prove to handle for institutions around the nation with traditional educational methods. With this concept in mind, Butterfly Edufields was conceived and started by a group of IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) and IIM (Indian Institute of Management) graduates 12 years ago, way back in 2005. Interviewer : What are the upcoming plans of company ? Mr. Chandra : Butterfly Edufields partner with schools firsthand for most of their assignments, making it a more hands-on experience, though they also have services that are geared toward the online sector and more non-traditional channels of distribution. They’ve established their presence on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and plan to take another step toward that direction through finding the partners. Thus, finding the right partners for their business, may they be on-ground related or in the field of e-commerce, is their primary goal for being here today at this trade exhibition. They already cater to a substantial number of students across the nation, with their kits having significant presence in 17 states, while Butterfly Edufields continually seek to expand furthermore and become a truly pan-Indian educational institution, thus taking their message of education that children invest their attention into to every child in the nation.

Centy boast of over 75 unique SKUs (stock-keeping units) and continue to add to their range of products every year, while many labs and certification institutions around the nation have approved their products innumerable times and their quality has thus been attested to in this manner. Moreover, each of Centy’s products are manufactured right here in India, in accordance with all the industry certification standards.

Further incentive is provided for following this plan as the toy car sector is one dominated by foreign brands, and having a homegrown firm that manufactures products right here at home becoming a leader in this sector would be valuable in more ways than one, remarks the CEO.

Mr. Bedi : As the name suggests, their core specialisation and focus has always been upon plush and soft toys and they import these products from abroad and market them for the local populace. The business was established in 2001 by me andmy partner, Mr. Praveen Bhatia, in New Delhi and their operations have since found a major foothold in Northern states the likes of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and others. Interviewer: What is the company’s future ? Mr. Bedi : While they are a completely pan-India brand with a presence across the nation, Dhoom’s trade network is particularly strong in the Northern parts of the country, and they seek to do the same here down South and there is no better method to do that than find partners in Mumbai. I and my colleagues have heard boastful rumours of how large a corporate buyer scene is here in Maharashtra, and this exhibition will certainly help them understand modern trade opportunities better and seek new horizons by carving out newer customer bases. For me the future is always bright if you remain positive, and it's with that optimism that already courses through their business that they will take it forward, while obvious goals such as expansion and newer products remain important as ever in their company's pursuit. Dhoom will also seek to debut newer toys and explore international markets that have been previously uncharted to them in order to discover more potentially importable goods.

Interviewer: What Little Genius’ all about ? Mr. Gautam: Little Genius is a company which manufactures products true to its name.

Their range, made up of over 700 unique products, not only fulfils the child's educational needs, for children have proven to be highly responsive to toys, but also supplements them while providing the child with entertainment. Interviewer: What was your purpose of starting the company? Mr. Gautam : My aim is to make education less of a chore for children, and try to ensure that within their growing years themselves, children come to perceive education in a more positive light and are eager to further their learning when having attained the age of attending educational institutions. Thus, with the purpose of changing the perception of education and what toys could potentially do for a child's growth, the company was started way back in 1990 in Delhi, with the budget of a meagre 1500 rupees and upon a small rooftop in the nation's capital. Their humble business began with just 5 flagship products, although they’ve since expanded and now offer over 700 unique educational products today, with this spurt in growth having been enabled by Mr. Naresh Kumar Gautam, also the founder of Little Genius Toys. The business now has a turnover of over 10 crore rupees, while they have suppliers and distributers across the nation, and in some international markets, too. Interviewer: What is the company’s future plans? Mr. Gautam: I and my colleagues believe wholeheartedly that products targeted at children, especially those offering them education, should boast of extremely affordable prices so as to enable all parents to purchase the same. It's thus their constant endeavour to drive down the prices for their products and seek out better manufacturing methods. The purpose of being at this event was to find more ideas for the same and find partners to reach out to every nook and cranny of India, while also to further expand their international presence and partner with firms that can aid them in exporting to more nations.

Interviewer : What BabyStaples’ all about ? Ms. Mittal : My company manufactures homemade organic, baby food products targeted at both pregnant mothers and babies. They focus on the baby's first 1000 days in the world, I argue that it is an essential and critical period that most casually ignore in terms of nutritional value. Although traditional baby foods serve the purpose too, their products, made from known super foods the likes of quinoa seeds, millets and other agricultural yields which posses great amounts of nutrition naturally, can greatly enhance the amount of essential nutrients received by a child in their first months in the world and are complete foods unto themselves. Such practices have long been present in the Indian culture, but a confused process of globalization has left Indian mothers scrambling for what's actually best for their child's health and our endeavour is to begin an educational process about the same through our food products, all of which are completely natural and entirely free of preservatives, formulated based on extensive guidelines provided to them by renowned and trusted paediatricians and infant nutritionists across India and the world over, with no salt or sugar either. Interviewer : What is upcoming plans of the company in future? Ms. Mittal : The business was established in 2016, and it too is still in an infant stage and merely a year old, so finding offline partners would be of great help in delivering their products to a greater amount of consumers. BabyStaples currently have a pan-India presence already through their supply chains and extensive presence on e-commerce websites through focus upon the online sector, so further exploiting that option, while padding it with further offline supply would be a great bonus. This exhibition can help them achieve those goals and find the right partners. For the industry as a whole, a lot companies are today debuting their range of natural and organic products, produced mostly from traditionally utilized Indian grains. It's in this growing market that BabyStaples seek to establish their presence and, perhaps, even carve their own niche in.

Interviewer: What Adventure Konnect’s all about? Mr. Agrawal: I remarks that a adventure sport aggregators for activities across India, while me and my colleagues check quality and safety standards for them and take them on-board. At the same time, since many of these havens for adventure are spread across the nation, customers can also utilise their product for ancillary and supplementary services such as booking hotels, flights, and the like and perhaps even adventure gear. There was a great need for a product whose primary objective would be to bring together the adventure opportunities in our nation. Interviewer : What is the future of the company ? Mr. Agrawal : Adventure Konnect has already brought partners on-board from across the nation and it will immediately be a completely pan-India service when it goes live on Diwali, 2017. My purpose of being at the event was to inform travel enthusiasts and services catering them to be aware that such a portal is about to come for the Indian market and seek out additional partners based upon the same. I will also strive to educate those in the travel industry of the boons of my product, for it can establish a formal network of adventure sports in India and bring together all fledgling brands within its sphere, thus increasing business greatly for them by not only first allowing them to be discovered on an online portal, but then also enabling positive feedback and word-of-mouth. Thus, Adventure Konnect also place great importance on checking standards satisfactorily so as to ensure that only premium experiences come our customers' way

Oct 9, 2017 Abraham Maslow to finish up the initial steps on our voyage towards propelling those we work with, let us take a gander at five speculations of inspiration. Having done this, and finished up our foundation, we will spend whatever is left of the book going through various down to earth measures you can use to enthuse, connect with and move others. Abraham Maslow was a humanistic clinician. Humanistic brain science tries to clarify human presence and gives careful consideration to zones, for example, imagination and unrestrained choice. Maslow proposed a chain of importance of necessities that are basic to all people. He contended that we must satisfy the lower levels on the chain of importance before we can satisfy the higher ones. He likewise said that the most astounding one – self-actualization – was a definitive objective for people. Self-actualization implies understanding one's maximum capacity. It moves from physical needs, for example, nourishment and water through security needs, love and having a place needs, regard needs and, at last, self-actualization. You can utilize the chain of command as an approach to consider individuals' intentions. For instance, you may start by asking whether you and your working environment is accommodating individuals' essential needs. On the off chance that it is not, rolling out improvements here is your initial move towards inspiring your partners or workers.

As an entrepreneur, what is the overarching goal that you are always striving toward, and why? Achieving Motivational Alignment: All of my entrepreneurial pursuits are motivated by positively impacting specific communities. It’s important not to forget about overarching motivation as you dip into the weeds of pursuing a business outcome. This alignment ensures that the desired results remain in alignment with impact and motivation. Creating Value: Everything I do is directly tied to the creation of value, whether it’s value for myself or for people that I work with and my company. Things like constant learning and striving to be the best at what I do are also dependent on the value creation for other people and businesses. Because at the end of the day, what’s the meaning of it all if you are not helping create more value for society? Contributing to Economic Development: I live and work in a small city in Pennsylvania called Wilkes-Barre (it’s about 20 miles from Scranton). Over the years, I’ve realized that my success in hiring employees, expanding offices, investing in companies and supporting local businesses directly and positively impacts the economic development of the city. The end result is a higher tax base and more success and opportunities for others. Building a Nurturing, Sustainable Business: My overarching goal is to grow and build a nurturing, sustainable business using ethical practices. The larger we get, the better able we are to serve our community and further our mission to help and heal through social outreach. Making a Difference: My goal is always to make a difference in my customers’ lives, helping them in any way that I can. Having this as my overarching goal keeps me focused on continuing to improve because there is always more I could do in terms of making a difference and addressing pain points. Getting Better Every Day: This goal can be easily forgotten in the everyday runnings of a small business, but it’s important. You should be focused on improving your business and/or yourself personally, at least in some small way, every single day. Staying True to Your Standards: I think it’s important that you always stay true to your standards and principles. Keeping your own values close to your heart while you work is very important. It shapes the way you treat others, how you treat your business and, ultimately, the real intrinsic value of the money you are earning. Making Yourself Obsolete: My goal is to become unnecessary within my own business. When I can create a role out of a subset of my responsibilities, I hire someone immediately. It’s for the better; your impulse may be to wear lots of hats, but it’s simply not sustainable in the long run. Specialization is the key to a well-oiled machine and creates more sorely needed time for big-picture thinking and optimization. Furthering Educational Growth : Although personal financial growth and seeing my team members succeed are great outcomes of running a successful business, my true desire as an entrepreneur is to learn. It’s that singular goal of furthering my own educational growth by learning from my daily challenges that has pushed me forward and helped me maintain momentum in the industries within which I’ve operated. Taking Care of Coworkers and Companies: My motivation to build creative alignments is intertwined with my desire to create a place for people to work where they feel respected, work-life balance is a reality and being yourself is honored and appreciated. I’m also motivated to offer companies a true recruiting partner that has their backs and treats them respectfully and fairly.
