CULTURA offers solutions grounded in psychology to support the people, performance, and experience of your organization. CULTURA holds great emphasis and passion in the areas of Talent, Leadership, and Culture. We have found that these areas hold the heaviest weight across any organization yet are commonly undervalued, underdeveloped, and unappreciated. How you innovated or reinvented yourself or your business during the pandemic, the economic ups and downs, or other challenges? I created CULTURA with the overarching goal to advance people operations in dentistry. The field of dentistry is commonly overlooked as a conduit of healthcare, but in order for dental professionals to instill healthy oral standards of care with patients, they must first look at how they are operating as a team. The direct role we play within dental practices or organizations is to elevate the existing talent, leadership, adn cultural components of the workplace. Having first hand experience working inside these poorly developed categories ultimately contributes to the lack of psychological safety being present. We are dedicated to reinstilling psychological safety for people to be in their superpowers, increase performance standards, and ultimate cultivate a playful experience. Top Reasons WHY Customers Choose to Do Business with You : 1. Talent Acquisition, 2. Organizational Leadership Coaching, 3. Workplace Culture Transformation, 4.

Our goal is to pivot from our niche in dentistry to begin servicing the greater healthcare market. Our development plan for next year is focusing on our Talent Acquisition & Optimization arms of the business. We are growing our partnership network - why compete when you can collaborate? So, we are doing just that by supporting other Founder's experience and background 10+ years in people operations - more than 6.5 years in pharmaceuticals and over 4 in dentistry in a sr. leadership capacity.

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Mehul Sharma: It is rightly said that even the smallest of the moments can potentially trigger great ideas. For me, it was while flipping magazines containing multiple hotel options in a long flight. Having moved to different places nearly every year, I am more of a true bird of passage and had been to several hotels. I always wanted hotels to be like temporary homes providing warmth and comfort with the experience being the most important factor something which the glossy magazine’s advertisements neither conveyed nor delivered. I was interrupted by an announcement; the journey had ended but the idea stayed. Upon arrival, I started researching the market and came up with an idea of starting a hotel chain which would highlight the indelible mark that experience leaves. A hotel that would provide the entire family with local delicacies as well as unparalleled service and comfort at exotic locations. The idea was conceptualized, a team formed which soon became a family. The motto was to have a brand that would create a mark and hence, the name “Signum” with etymological roots in Latin meaning a sign or a mark was meticulously chosen. It represents the strong mark that the brand hopes to create; a sign that it is on the path to transform the industry. It showcases that the brand adds significant value to their hotel owners,employees and customers. For me, the simple yet stylish font represents convenience and a relaxed stay while at the same time a promise of top-notch service. A teammate’s story reminiscing about a place drew the realization that what one remembers about any place are often the experiences they have had. Consequentially, the tagline was decided as “Experiential Stays” reaffirming the company’s focus on providing a pleasant experience and highlights the lasting mark that experience leaves. Great Companies: What are the various services provided by Signum Hospitatily Pvt Ltd Mehul Sharma: Signum Hotels & Resorts, the rapidly emerging independent hospitality organization, has several renowned properties spread across India and abroad.

Delivering on the brand promise – top class services, availability of favourite scrumptious cuisines and calming vicinities are some of our hallmarks and providing ‘Experiential Stays’ Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? Mehul Sharma: My biggest challenge was unforeseen situations like Pandemic, which affected Hospitality sector adversely.

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Dr. Soum Rakshit: From our research & experiences over the past 2 decades, we understood that a major challenge in most people’s lives is keeping the ‘mystery’ alive in a long term relationship. This is especially true after major life events like childbirth, menopause, cancer treatment or surgery. That’s why we decided to combine my defence electronics expertise with leading doctors & sexual health experts to create devices that address major sexual health issues like ED, dryness & pain during intercourse. Thus MysteryVibe was born. Great Companies: What are the various services provided by MysteryVibe Dr. Soum Rakshit: We create clinically-proven, FDA Class 2 medical devices that adapt to the user's body & deliver targeted vibrations to address genito-pelvic pain, penetration pain, arousal disorder & erectile dysfunction.

Great Companies: What makes MysteryVibe different from hundreds of other similar service providers? Dr. Soum Rakshit: We are the world leader in sexual health devices. We tackle big topics like Pain, Dryness, Arousal and Erection - using technology - without tablets, with comfort - without side effects. We are the only company in sexual health that spans both medical and pleasure. Our devices have won over 30 International awards and changed the lives of 100,000 users in 75 countries. Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? Dr. Soum Rakshit: One of the biggest challenges with building any startup is fundraising. This is especially true for startups in the sexual health space due to various stigmas around it. The way we overcame this challenge is by reaching out to Angel investors all over the world who were passionate about the problem we were trying to solve and could relate to it themselves. Building the company with the help of angels not only gave us access to capital which would otherwise not be available to our sector, but also their expertise which proved invaluable over the past 9 years. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for MysteryVibe? Dr. Soum Rakshit: We have very exciting plans of launching 2 new products every year for the foreseeable future. Alongside, we will continue doing more of what we already do – medical studies, educational content and outreach. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Dr. Soum Rakshit: Everything always takes longer and costs more than what we plan – try to factor in double the time and budget of what you estimate.

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? If you observe any entrepreneur's route, it generally starts with solving a problem that you are yourself facing, and that's exactly what took place with me. Around 2007 is when the beginnings for what I was going to do in the future developed,.I didn't recognize it then. I was invited to attend a Rotary gathering where there was a doctor who invested some time in Switzerland focusing on the capacities of the brain.That's where it began. Actually, it began since I wanted to help my daughter. My daughter was I believe that time in the eighth grade. Bright Kid otherwise, yet she was battling with math. And someplace in the back of my mind, I was continually looking for solutions. It all reached a climax in me,talking to the people at Learning RX in Colorado. Trained with them and Licensed their program and brought it back. By and by I added other programs to help students, especially those battling learning challenges. We added other programs Like attention development and Handwriting development and speed writing. All with the primary motive of improving Cognition among children. What are the various services provided by The Trainer Mom and EAVA Neural Space Neural Space provides a cognitive development program delivered in a one on one training format, an attention development program based on brain wave data tracking , Handwriting development in English and Devanagari script and Speed writing. Considering that kids these days are getting more and more addicted to the use of Mobile Phones, Tabs and Computers thereby missing out on the critical Cognitive Development provide by Writing by Hand 'The Trainer Mom' is an attempt to support Guardians in becoming active handwriting mentors for their kids through The Trainer Mom's online Train The Trainer Course. This online course is designed to help parents gain an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of handwriting and its development. What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? One of the major challenges we faced was Marketing, because we were a new venture, we were Trail Blazers in the domain and we were first time entrepreneurs. Nevertheless, like any other venture, the difficulties kept arising and we were entrenched in many issues and, so, we had to work out answers. We had to contemplate imaginative resolutions. We had to think of imaginative answers, you see, to advertise our amenities and to guarantee that our customers were acquiring the foremost benefit. So, there was a great deal of trial and error. There was a lot of exploration. We had to keep considering beyond the norm, persistently reinventing ourselves, and keep producing resolutions to the predicaments that we were confronting. And, you know, that's how we were able to make it a prosperous business. What makes The Trainer Mom , EAVA Neural Space different from hundreds of other similar service providers? *At Neural Space, we are the only one that provides a program based on 2 decades of research and development , developed by LearningRx. We are the only ones offering all three programs viz. -Cognitive Development on a one on one basis along with an Internationally Standardised Cognitive Test battery, providing pre and post data, - An internationally acclaimed Attention Development Tool the 'Play Attention' and -A researched based Handwriting and Speed writing program in a one on one training format. * 'The Trainer Mom' is the only scientifically designed, Handwriting train-the-trainer program available today for parents . How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for The Trainer Mom , EAVA Neural Space? 'The Trainer Mom' has an extremely bright future over the next 5 years. Owing to its online format and business model, scalability is going to be high and rapid. We aim to be a 100 crore company by 2027. Neural Space is a different ball game altogether. We intend to focus on Quality Results for our students and given the business format, scaling up may lead to dilution in results. We intend to service the local community through Neural Space in the future and make Life Changing Interventions for those that we are able to serve directly. That number will be a couple of thousand students in the next five years ,at best. If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Remember it can be a hard ,lonely and painful journey at times. The shortest speech ever given was by Rev.Jesse Jackson. It had only three words. "Keep Hope Alive". Be nimble and willing to change and learn from mistakes. "Just a blip on the highway of time But I'll have my moment on that blip to shine. I'll falter and flip, bungle and slip But a moment or two ....Is reserved for me too!!! You don't believe me I know But it's true even so... I've worked hard and long ,all my life There'll come a time, when I'll steal the show. Luck is like the shifting sand, I've hit some and missed quite a few! But there's a moment of time reserved for me too! There'll be cheers and accolades and wows and more, And when that time comes, you'll know for sure! Life's tough, but Life's fair, Struggle and persevere, you'll get your share! Like it or not, she'll give you what you deserve. When the chips are down, just hold your nerve! When things are tight, work harder and fight You have it in you to set it right. When the time comes and the curtains are drawn, Karma will welcome you to a welcome dawn." Avinash Anant

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Nirav Dave: That's a long story. But, I'll do my best to quickly summarize it for you. To start with, I have a Master's degree in Graphic design and have completed Art Direction from MICA. I have also worked with established companies in both the UK and India. Working with companies such as Ticketmaster, Cinemax, and Get Me IN, was an amazing experience. However, I soon realized I had ideas that could transform really well into reality and make a difference. I needed a platform to bring these ideas to fruition. So, I put my all into it. In 2010, when I started my own digital agency, I got the chance to test those ideas. Even though it has been challenging, it has also been a thrilling ride and well worth the effort. Great Companies: What are the various services provided by Capsicum Mediaworks Nirav Dave: In short, we are a solution-driven SEO company in Mumbai, India. Our goal is to help our clients gain the exposure they deserve. We do it by strategically and organically ranking their websites on popular search engine platforms, such as Google. Apart from SEO, Capsicum also provides a competitive range of services, here’s a list of all the services we offer: Web Design services Web Development Services Social Media Services Branding Services PPC Services Explainer Videos Content Marketing Great Companies: What makes Capsicum Mediaworks different from hundreds of other similar service providers? Nirav Dave: Primarily two things, innovation and creativity. It helps us continuously come up with bespoke solutions for our clients across a multitude of industries. Our quick thinking, streamlined process, ethical SEO practices, and result-driven approach have proved effective. It has helped our clients tremendously. Our young and talented team of professionals bring a diverse skill set to the table, which helps ensure quality across all platforms. In addition, the nature of the company requires us to stay up-to-date with the latest SEO and digital marketing trends, which helps expand our knowledge. This also helps us deliver the best possible solution to our clients, helping them reach their full potential in terms of improved exposure, ROI, and sales. Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? Nirav Dave: Initially, the learning curve was a bit steep, it took us a bit of time to figure things out, and we managed to put things into motion. Right now, we work seamlessly with a few hits and bumps in the way that offer new learning opportunities, which only helps us gain more expertise. This is a continuous process. Since we are talking about SEO, we have to deal with the ever-changing search engine algorithms. The continuous algorithm updates keep us on our toes, helping us offer better services to our clients. Covid-19 was another bump in our journey, but since we are a digital agency, we weren't as strongly affected by it. But the road wasn't exactly smooth either. We had to spend a lot of time organizing and creating work-from-home policies, and arranging client meetings through communication platforms such as Skype or Zoom. It took time to move our processes online to ensure that our teams could work from any place and at any time. But once in place, we only experience minor issues which are commonplace. These policies and processes also helped us retain our dedicated employees during the pandemic. What's more, we were able to onboard new employees during such tough times. We faced the pandemic together and became a stronger and more cohesive unit as a result of it. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for Capsicum Mediaworks? Nirav Dave: We hold ourselves to an exacting standard, built on the foundation of result-driven solutions created for complete client satisfaction. We plan to continue on this journey following the same mantra, ensuring that we help our clients achieve the best results. Our goal has always been to keep improving, to work with more established brands, arming them with resources to give them an edge in this competitive world, and helping them gain visibility across the required areas and growth into their image. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Nirav Dave: I would like to say that patience and consistency are the keys to success, but that would be only half of the truth. While patience and consistency are definitely necessary, you also require time and effort, especially in the beginning. SEO is primarily about increasing a brand’s exposure and putting it on a path to success. Although SEO is an effective tool, it takes time to achieve results through it, and you have to constantly update the client’s website to keep it fresh and relevant. For SEO to work, you also need to churn out authoritative content, people starting out tend to overlook this essential tip. Think of high-quality content as a vehicle that SEO has to drive. It is essential to all digital marketing campaigns and which is why you need to give it your 100%. Plan ahead, strategize and bring your ideas to life.

Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business? Prajwal Mugali: Idea and concept are two different things wherein, the idea to start any business happens overnight, but the concept to make it work as a sustainable business model undergoes a lot of process and iterations. The basic premise to start any product based business is to answer a key question - how is it going to help the end user. Catering to this fast paced and adaptive world, we introduced “OneToBeam” primarily aimed at the Real Estate sector with applications across other industries as well. But the core remains the same – allow end users to virtually walk through any space and explore at an affordable cost with fast turn around times. Thus we aim at providing On Demand Subscription based Virtual Tours allowing people to view properties from anywhere on their e-devices. Great Companies: What are the various services provided by OneToBeam Prajwal Mugali: We, at OneToBeam aim to be a Virtual Tour Service provider where in the end user has an immersive visual experience of any infrastructure on a smartphone – could be a built space with a live photoshoot or in the planning stage through 3D Models. Within this umbrella of services our stand out product is the On Demand Subscription based Virtual Tours at extremely affordable prices – as low as 1,000/- INR for a property. Apart from this we provides services like Video Shoots, photo shoots ,Drone Shoots, various types of 3D modeling and related services Great Companies: What makes OneToBeam different from hundreds of other similar service providers? Prajwal Mugali: Quoting Steve Jobs here – Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower. At OneToBeam, we would like to think of ourselves as innovators, not just from a technology stand point, but also in our processes & execution. This is the key to be able to provide an existing services as a SaaS product. Virtual Tours as a service is available with multiple players but none providing it as a Subscription service at literally 1/10th of the cost. Thus, we innovated to make the product cost friendly so that everyone gets a bite of the apple. Secondly, OneToBeam is the fastest when it comes to the turnaround time for the Virtual tours and thirdly OneToBeam is the first Company to launch On Demand Virtual Tours as Subscription model. Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them? Prajwal Mugali: I guess the term start-up has been coined such to be indicative of the starting problems one would have to face in the journey and from our experience it’s a never endign one. The primary struggle has been breaking the barrier of being open and adaptive to use new technology in an extremely orthodox Industry such as the Real Estate. Also being a new 360 degree visual platform, it is very challenging to market and explain the product when not face to face with our Customers. Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for OneToBeam? Prajwal Mugali: From our experience, most plans end up being pivoted into new plans and new areas of development. We started as a Virtual Reality based firm which we pivoted into a Virtual Tour Service Provider which is very VR ready when the market does with the influx of Meta. Having said that, we would like to be the primary On Demand Subscription based platform in the top 10 cities in the next 3 years where in all major Relators, Property Mgmt firms, etc would be on our platform. Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be? Prajwal Mugali: There’s this quote I read somewhere and we try to follow the same at OneTobeam - “Become Comfortable being Uncomfortable”. Comfort zone doesn't take you places and leads to stagnation. As a brand that’s influencing the industry to comfortably view any infrastructure from anywhere, we had to be uncomfortable in delivering this service. Developing & delivering a product / service to make the end users experience comfortable, one must be willing to put in the yards to achieve so.
