hen an Indian dreams about the United States, Canada, London, and any other foreign country, there are not a few reasons that stress him before even going there. The stressing reasons could be expensive flight tickets, unfair currency exchange rates, unknown housing charges, etc. No one gets a free passage for life troubles. Still, some companies have been specifically established to help such people regardless of their nationality. According to the historical reports, most people are unaware of the legal foreign exchange process and charges. It is among the reasons that sometimes the honest charges seem illegitimate or vice versa to the user. Recently, a study has shown that many Indians are moving or expanding their business to foreign countries. It gives rise to the demand for foreign exchange service providers who can help such users fulfil their dreams with honest prices.
Can A Single Company Render Multiple Mainstream Services?
Upon finding the companies that may offer foreign exchange companies, we came across Paul Merchants Limited, an established company that has been running the business for almost three decades.

Tip Number 2: Don’t Underestimate Your Potential
We all have that inner potential to face things out of our bubble. It’s a matter of time we end up underestimating our capabilities to face such situations. So the next tip is to always believe in inner-self and behold the spirit to not give up. Start instigating your mind and soul to hunt for the solutions rather than sitting in a corner and sobbing of what all has already happened. Humans have the chords of stress biologically intact so it is quite natural to have freezing thoughts. Remember, the journey to find the solution may be a little longer than anticipated, but life time moves and so do we have to move on with it.

It makes us understand that being aware of ongoing trends in the outside world can open doors of significant opportunities for us. The process of integrative, holistic learning and implementing them will help us to open our mind to challenges.
Tip Number 4: Channelize Your Energy
To calm down the wavering thoughts of uncertainty we need to incorporate some habits. Oftentimes when we’re thinking to just give up everything and confine ourselves to seclusion, we forget that there are a lot of things to get started with. If we learn the technique to leverage the time and divert to a line of peace. Meditating for a minimum of 5-10 minutes and recalling the positive things that happened to you before the crisis can be a great source of motivation. You can also enjoy doing whatever makes your adrenaline rush! If you like singing, dancing, crafting or even exercising, then just start doing such activities without any doubts. Let things go and put efforts to welcome new chapters of life.

When we have an illusive haze in front of us, the first and foremost thing we need is visionary expertise. So turning up to a person who holds expertise in tackling the same field and is confident about finding the deep-rooted solution to the problem, is the most profitable thing to do. The moment we get the correct expertise we become courageous enough to put our feet in the uncomfortable shoes.
Effective Tips to Demonstrate Calm and Optimism in Crisis
Tip Number 1: Communicate with an Experienced Person
Tip Number 5: Quintessential Care of Body When our mental peace gets disrupted it automatically starts affecting the health of your body. We start to deprive our attention from what we are eating, to what we’re doing to keep us fit! Doing this will adverse the situation even further. If you don’t eat properly or have an irregular sleep cycle, the crisis will get into your nerves thereby making you more depressed. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise for at least 30-40 mins on a daily basis, get plentiful sleep and don’t indulge in binge eating junk food. So folks! These are the only golden mantras you need to demonstrate calm and optimism in crisis to surpass every obstacle. We hope you immensely enjoyed reading these mantras.

ONE-STOP SOLUTION FOR EFFICACIOUS AND QUANTITATIVE RETAIL BUSINESS A Presto Analysis of Company and its Offerings
Shailendra Awasthi, the Founder of LOCOFF promises a company that elevates the smooth platform to help local retailers and local customers to connect mutually without decimating their online sales. With the growing era of e-commerce platforms leading every genre of market, LOCOFF is synonymous as an abbreviation to local offerings. The brand aims to diminish the challenges of the small retail stores who neither have the resources nor the approach to establish their presence on the pedestal of e-commerce platforms. Shailendra Awasthi continues to explain that the foremost perspective of the brand is to connect primitive shops irrespective of their business type and perpetuate long-lasting networks with potential local customers without having an impact on their offline sales. Now talking about Shailendra’s brand, LOCOFF is a GPSbased platform that promotes on-boarded retail shops to advertise their attractive offers and discount coupons which immediately reaches their local customers via notifications. In this way a mutual line of benefit is created for both the retailer and the customer with SaaS based technology using O2O model.
Inventiveness of Company’s Foundation
The inception of such a colossal brand came from one incident of Shailendra’s life. Back in 2015 when he had to purchase an efficient laptop battery with good savings on the pocket, he went through a tiresome process of three weeks to get the one from an online store which wasn’t satisfactory. To his surprise, after visiting a local store, he got his battery replaced handto-hand with no chaos and that too at an impressive discount. Understanding the gap between local shops and local folks, he decided to initiate a platform to capitalize these small businesses by encouraging the retailers to use LOCOFF’s digital offerings. This sparked concept began with the recruitment of freelance developers and first round of funding in February 2020.

Cementing
He says that incorporation of R&D is an impertinent aspect of their company’s growth and so they have a specialized team of R&D. Coming up with the solution is incomplete without knowing the needs of the customers. To analyze their customer’s market behavior and address their challenges, the brand keeps R&D on the front foot. From his point of view, any brand who predominantly works in a service-based industry, the code can’t be cracked without R&D. -
Paradigm of Modernistic Goals
Upon being asked about the upcoming goals the barnd is targeting, Shailendra says that with the continuous efforts, his brand is eyeing to become a wholesome solution provider to the retailers.

Once they find the employee with the sassy attitude for success, ensuring their content is not a task for them. They immediately focus upon utilizing that attitude by mentoring them with the brand’s ideology.
Milestones worth Being Proud Off
Taking the conversation further, Shailendra talks about the bodacious achievements that the brand has achieved in the past. LOCOFF has definitely done its part in revamping the face of the retail industry by joining hands with more than 40 thousand retailers across 15 different cities to mark their debut on their digital platform. Once started with just 300 stores, LOCOFF has created its legacy. The brand increases equity with innovative technology and solutions. The numbers of year-on-year (YOY) growth garner’s eyes on stalks. From the revenue perspective, the brand grew 900% YOY, from retailer wise it’s 600% YOY and the numbers of enduser wise scaled to 700% YOY. These numbers give a glimpse of the profound potential of LOCOFF which is enough to make jaws drop.

SOLARIUM DRIVING MASS ADOPTION OF SOLAR IN INDIA
I
ndia is one of the biggest tropical countries in the world. Naturally, it has a massive solar energy investment potential. Despite that, the number of successful solar projects and companies has been few and far between. Meanwhile, India’s primary source of energy production remains coal and these reserves are slated to run out by 2050. The situation is getting more and more urgent and it is time for the private sector to rise to the occasion to fulfil the energy production gap. Solarium, established by Ankit Garg in 2017, was created with the idea of bringing global solar energy generation technologies to India at affordable prices. The company has achieved a lot by being No. One Company in the Indian Residential Market in a very short time, not least of which is bringing a lot of trust into a very volatile market. As it continues to grow into more states, we look at how the company has fared so far and how it is poised to tackle India’s rapidly rising demand for quality solar energy solutions.
A Vision for a Solarised India
Ankit Garg graduated from IIT Dhanbad with a specialization in Mining Machinery Engineering in year 2011. When he started evaluating the renewable energy domain, he identified the dominance of the sector’s lack of materials quality and dependency on China and a lot of scope for manufacturing in India. He founded Solarium as a holistic solar energy solutions provider integrating Smart solar PV modules, EPC, and O&M expertise into the service portfolio. The unique aspect of Solarium is that they offer 100% made in India PV modules integrated with the Solutions for Residential and Industrial Customers. This has allowed the company to rise rapidly in client numbers as well as its presence across the country. At present, it operates in 40 cities while routing all manufacturers from its in-house production facility in Gujarat. The company has reportedly successfully completed 10000+ Residential projects in a short span.

TEAM SOLARIUM Leading With Innovation
Integral working/manufacturing processes, leadership vision, and retaining in-house experts with formidable experience in the industry – are some of the many things Solarium does well. The best reflection of Mr Garg’s commitment to excellence is visible in the Gujarat manufacturing facility. It boasts international-tier equipment and fittings including Solar Cell Tabber and Stringer, Laminator, and Quality Control. Naturally, the production also creates only the highest-grade PV Modules. The in-house staff possesses comprehensive Poly/Mono/PERC Crystalline Solar Modules development know - how in line with BIS, IEC, and MNRE standards. Corresponding to its stellar manufacturing facility, Solarium also has a massively resourceful R&D division. According to Mr Garg, this is one of the major reasons why they have charted such rapid growth since its inception. The company now offers ecofriendly Energy Storage solutions with increased capacity and software enhancements. The unique value proposition here is that the software can tie the PV Modules’ energy generation to make optimal use and reduce the overall diesel consumption as well. This is one of the many minor advancements and innovations that is putting Solarium on the national solar energy map. Solarium has also added Lithium-ion batteries and energy storage solutions to its solutions portfolio. Plus, the manufacturing unit in Gujarat has grown to a 100 MW manufacturing capacity. Mr Garg also says that they have increased their manufacturing capacity to match increased demand from the market. This shows how the company’s products and manufacturing ethic speak for its efficiency and cutting-edge approach to delivering solar energy solutions.
A Dynamic Corporate Culture
While Solarium started off with only a handful of people, the company has grown massively since then. At present, it has over 150 driven individuals with high-end professional expertise working with it. One of the reasons why Solarium has attracted high-skill individuals has to do with Mr Garg’s leadership skills. He is not only interested in generating quality solar solutions but Prime Insights
also in fostering an ecosystem defined by innovation. The company has a very well-defined and robust employee remuneration and retention process and has a specialized department dedicated towards the same. Further, the company’s international-tier work culture allows employees to maintain a very good work-life balance. The pandemic years have been a true test for Solarium’s employee welfare and retention ideals. Despite the massive holdups in the sector, the company managed to finish more than 10000+ Residential projects and showed great resilience to volatile market conditions.
Banking on a Bright Future
Financially speaking, Solarium has been turning out a consistent profit even during the pandemic. In 2018- 19, the company’s turnover stood at INR 4 Cr and at INR 44 Cr, followed by INR 80 Cr in 2020-21 & INR 178 Cr in 2021-22. According to Mr Garg, the company is set to reach an INR 350 Cr. turnover milestone in this financial year. It has also received induction into prestigious lists like Silicon India’s ‘Top 10 Energy Solutions Provider in 2019’, ‘The CEO Insights’ ‘Top 10 Leaders in Manufacturing in 2021’ and Business Connects ‘Company of the year in 2022’ All of these milestones, however, remain only a shining summation of the company’s processes and prospects. The real achievements, as Mr Garg states, have to do with bringing solar energy to the nation at large. India has a rapidly rising need for alternative energy sources to fuel its rising electrical needs. Solarium strives to address these by expanding its consumer base through selective but strategic tech innovations. These may involve partial imports from the international market as well as homegrown innovations to match the pace of global solar energy tech advancements. As the Indian market opens up after COVID-19, the pressure will be on the government to ramp up development. In that light, solar energy will be a large part of the overall energy development narrative that spell’s the nation’s future potential. Solarium is well-poised to deliver an ever-increasing value proposition to its captive markets and clientele as well as the broader market in the country. As such, its future looks very promising and can only look increasingly upward from its present status. 27

as Online Reputation Management, Lead Generation, Geotagging, Identity Verification, Telephonic Customer Support, and Screening Resources.” Stated Mr. Rishav Agarwal, Founder & CEO of Picxele.
Picxele’s Inception Story
They say “Necessity is the mother of invention”. True to this phrase, the idea of Picxele stemmed from a dire need. After completing more than 43 internships during the second year of college, Mr. Rishav developed an interest in Marketing. He started researching extensively on the subject. His research revealed a huge gap between students and brands, which was odd given their direct correlation. He realized that this gap created several obstacles in the growth of both parties. “I started with my venture INTEGER Innovation where I used to get work from Companies and get it done via students and paid them as a stipend and after running it for some time along with my college studies.” Stated Mr. Rishav. After gaining adequate expertise and knowledge in the field, he got his firm registered as Floatex Marketing Solutions Private Limited in July 2018. Things seemed to work out fine at first. However, as the demand started increasing, Mr. Rishav found the process to be rather tedious. Not only did he have to onboard new companies but also ensure that the Gig workers did quality work. This is how he got the idea of developing Picxele – an app through which Gig workers could work on multiple tasks from different companies and get paid for it instantly.
Overcoming Challenges As an App-Based Startup
Growing a business is exceptionally difficult, especially in the initial stages. Like every other business, Picxele, too, had to face certain challenges. Due to the lack of legal knowledge and the absence of a strong core team, the company had to face several issues in the beginning. The main issues were regarding the payment from companies. However, with time and more experience, the company got better at their game. “Challenges are a part of the entrepreneurial journey. We keep encountering and solving them. We are in a much better place now than we were a year ago.” Stated Mr. Rishav.
What Makes Picxele Stand Out From Its Competitors
Being a brand that closely associates itself with trust and transparency, Picxele believes in managing emotions and expectations. “Since the initial days, we were concentrating our efforts on generating positive emotions in our consumers. Our prinary goal is to keep both the companies and the Gig Workers happy. We strive our level best to provide exceptional services to all the companies with satisfaction and also to the Gig Workers, in terms of experience and other recognition.” said Mr. Rishav.

Mr. Abhisek’s Inspiring Entrepreneurship Journey
Being an entrepreneur, one has to face many trials and tribulations on the path to success. Mr. Abhisek too had to endure many difficulties while starting out on his entrepreneurship journey. One of his toughest challenges was earning the trust of his clients in the initial days of his company. He wanted his company to serve as a startup app in the education segment. However, in convincing the investors and rewarding them in the pursuit of doing so, the company often experienced a hand to mouth situation. “We started with solving very small problems like finding a tutor, in any subject, from swimming to rocket science, we made sure to have a tutor available for anything that people wanted to learn.” Said Mr. Abhisek. Since the very conception of Newaetate’s idea, Mr. Abhisek knew that the problems surrounding the availability of tutors could only be resolved by introducing better technology. He ensured that his team educated themselves consistently and covered as many domains as possible. With persistent efforts from his team, the company managed to endure every hardship. Today, Newaetate is one of the most reputable names in Technology in Bhubhaneshwar. The company is now focusing on offering backend software solutions to support other major startups with their outsourcing processes.
Newaetate: A Company That Truly Cares About Its Customers
In today’s day and age, there are only a handful of companies that truly care about their customers. More often than not, companies are purely focused on achieving their monetary targets. They give little importance to tending to the needs of their customers. Mr. Abhisek, on the other hand, believes that the customer should be treated like God. “We would like to believe in the words of our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi’s version of the same; Customer is God. One must feel it as a pleasure to serve the whims of a customer.” He said. Recently, the team at Newaetate managed to get the entire youth population of a small village in West Bengal on board to their live Pick Trainer App. Through this app, the youngsters got to showcase their talents in various fields. Not only did the company provide them a platform but also offered them daily cashback to further help them hone their craft. “The biggest token that we could give our first-generation clients, the students wanting to find a tutor, was cashback and a referral. We made it a point to offer them small rewards but continuous rewards so that they don’t lose focus on their progress. The small continuously increasing incentives motivated them to keep using our platforms.” He added.
“We now take pride in announcing ourselves as an
enterprise after a successful startup run of almost half a decade. As a startup we had won numerous awards and recognitions from Startup India, CII amidst others in the broa categories of new-age innovations in technology.”
How Mr. Abhisek Ensures the Satisfaction of His Employees
A successful company, in the truest sense, is one that cares about its employees’ well-being and growth. Mr. Abhisek owes a huge chunk of the company’s success to his team. “We learn, grow, and achieve together. It is with pride that we can say, our startup has become an enterprise this very particular year. Thanks to the strength of our team and our shared goals. Achieving goals together has been keeping us motivated to only climb higher.” stated Mr. Abhisek. According to him, employee satisfaction is the need of the hour, given the grim market circumstance. This is why he aims at making its employees feel safe and belonged. In the last three and a half years, the company has managed to increase its team size from 12 to 400. Mr. Abhisek likes to compare his team to a pack of sturdy wolves, who fight, live, and breathe for the same goal, i.e, the growth of Newaetate. “Our team dared to dream and we made sure, as a team to work together, educate ourselves and learn to carry forward those dreams together.” He added.

Gilco Global’s Inception & Success Story
Gilco Global was founded in 2014 by Aman Moudgil and Gaurav Moudgil through a collaboration with ORONA S. Co op, a renowned Spanish elevator group. Along with prior experience in construction, Gaurav and Aman both have specialized in Engineering Design & Construction Project Management. This gave them a better understanding of the technological requirements and client expectations in the Indian market. In addition, their father, Sh. Deepak Moudgil, helped them set up their operations. This gave them a much-needed head start in the business. Despite the good launchpad, Gaurav and Aman had to face many challenges in the initial stages. For starters, creating resources as per the market requirements was tough. The biggest challenge, however, was building brand awareness for ORONA. ORONA is regarded as one of the leading elevator companies in the world, with a network of over 2,50,000 solutions across 100 countries. ORONA also has the largest complete lift production capacity in Europe. ORONA is also the first company to have been certified under the Ecodesign (ISO 14006). Despite all this, the brand was little known of in the Indian market. Gilco Global being the respresentative of the ORONA Group in India, had the sole responsibility of creating as much brand awareness as possible in India. By and by, Gilco Global overcame these issues and build a strong brand presence in India. For over 7 years now, Gilco Global has been strongly extending the philosophy of ORONA in India with its exceptional customer service and quality products. Owing to this success, the company has bagged collaborations with reputable companies like ECOSPACE IT, AEROSWEEP, ESCAPE MOBILITY, DHLLUIS, and HIDRAL S.A. The company has also spread its operations in over 10 cities in India including Ghaziabad, Noida, Delhi, Bangalore, Mohali, Mathura, Bhiwadi, Chandigarh, Gurgaon, and Faridabad.
How Aman Moudgil maintains a Work-Life Balance
Few entrepreneurs understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Having been brought up in a household that valued time management, Aman knows the significance of the same. “I have been brought up with values of time management inculcated to me by my Father who even till now believes in the motto of ‘early is on time and on time is late’. Also, I have studied in a missionary school that rested on values of time management and discipline,” he says. Aman also believes in smart work over hard work and tries his best to pass on this idea to his teams. “When we can streamline the process and become efficient, we can then focus less on the total amount of hours worked,” he adds. He claims that maintaining this balance of smart work and strict discipline has increased his and his team’s efficiency considerably. Prime Insights
Aman on Changing Market Trends
Every entrepreneur aims at staying a step ahead. Mr. Aman, too, believes in optimizing his company’s organizational structure to adhere to the market trends. “We as an organization have worked on our internal processes and are using technology to optimize the same and also make them more efficient,” he says. He focuses on consistently improving his company’s customer experience. To keep up with change, he likes to keep a keen eye on the business environment or any change in the customers’ behavior pattern. He is also big on customer feedback and stresses the importance of it by adding, “We keep an eye on the business environment and change in behavior pattern of our customers and also the business environment. Customer feedbacks at periodic intervals (usually clubbed along with our service visits and through random calls directly with the customer) help us gather raw input about the overall experience and identifies the areas of improvement for us. Furthermore, current pandemic restrictions has made us use technology more effectively both for trainings (which are now happening through video conferencing) and ground operations wherein our Quality team is now using remote monitoring techniques to not only monitor critical processes but also routine preventive maintenances as are being conducted periodically with the Central idea of ensuring optimal product performance and a satisfactory customer experience.”

A Message to Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Having been in the industry for several years now, Aman has acquired some timeless wisdom that he’d like to impart to new entrepreneurs. Here’s what he has to say: “It cannot be better than the famous quote by Steve Jobs – ‘Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma’ which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” 47

5 Tips to Become a Net
Positive Business
The audacity to present a surreal accomplishment before the world, takes a profound amount of courage and resilience. When it comes to starting a business venture altogether, an entrepreneur has to meticulously implement calculative and competent knowledge. Indeed, one needs accurate planning for the success of their business and that’s what we want you to hear about. What if we tell you that these 5 Tips to Become a Net Positive Business guarantees to elevate your entrepreneurial cruise? Stay tuned in till the end to thoroughly understand these
5 Tips to Become a Net Positive Business. 1) Culture of Employee Contentment and Open Communication
The pivotal contribution in any business venture’s success comes from the determination and persistent hard-work of the employees. The nature of the relationship between an organization and its employee needs to be both qualitatively and quantitatively healthy. The work culture in any company must ensure the holistic productivity of every employee, giving credibility to their efforts and keeping them focused. With this they present their best positive actions on the table. On the other hand, if the employees are bolstered with an unorganized work schedule, distracted with constant interruptions at the workplace and surrounded by unhealthy corporate pressure, then they won’t be able to put forward their capabilities. This will eventually harm the serenity of their personal and professional life. Moreover the employees must be encouraged to present their ideas without insecurity and deserve a platform of open communication. The more they communicate, the more they feel happy being connected with the company which gives a better bubble of positive output. Edition May 2022 | www.primeinsights.in

2) Incorporate Task Management and Automation Tools
In this modernistic world where everything is being revolutionized with technology, the communication process of a company must also be automated. Now emails are not only the idealistic approach of collaboration amongst teams. Using proficient task management software for minimizing the cumbersome paperwork, tracking the details of an ongoing project or to exchange ideas on the spot, saves time and ensures efficiency. For example Skype, Google Chat, Google calendar, ZOOM etc.
3) Analyze the Services from Customer’s Perspective
For any business firm in this world, customers are the unbiased umpires of its prosperity. Therefore it is utmost important that the services offered by a firm adhere to the needs and interest of their customers. If the customers are not able to connect with the brand in terms of their services then obviously it’s the company who will face the loss. As per Statista.com, about 80-85% business firms perceive customer satisfaction as their streamline competition area in any industry. But the 60% of customers withdrawing their interest from a brand after bad experiences is even more important to see. A firm should always lay their focus on bringing services that add value to their customer’s lives and secure a loyal relationship in future. If they accurately get what they want, then there is no going back.
4) Trust the Authenticated Process
Oftentimes when an ongoing project or task needs to be wrapped up at a speed, employees are forced to cut some or the other corners to make it happen. However, doing this always leads to missing things that require more time and energy to be fixed in the longer run. If a task needs a fundamental ladder of steps then it should be followed in the same fashion. But that doesn’t mean that innovations are not needed to revamp the process. If a change has to be introduced, it must be with a slow and steady pace and not at an instant. All the team members must be kept in the loop of approving a potential change with smoothness.
5) Make Decisions Driven by Data
Without second thoughts, data is the king of today. Using techniques like Data Analytics, an organization can leverage the customer behavior and trends surfing online, to make decisions driven by data. Unlocking the power of data and targeting the interests of customers, serves a path for personalizing content and developing products as per the market-fit. This helps to improve the rock bottom line of a business performance. Prime Insights
