POONA SHIMS PRIVATE LIMITED

Ms. Harshada Gupte Director, Administration & Human Resources

Mr. Sachin Gupte Managing Director Mr. Aamod Gupte Director, Technical & Marketing

Posh Is An Automotive Company That Has Helped India And The World Grow Since 1972.

Many start-ups are created every year that could change the automotive industry. But we are telling the story of an automotive company that has been around for 50 years and is the best in the world in its product category. We looked at it in depth to give you a head start on how its technologies and products will affect the automotive industry in 2022 and 2023. Let us meet one of the most innovative automotive companies, Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH), to keep an eye on.

A Small Background

Mr. Sachin Gupte did not start Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH), but he grew the business and made it more successful. He has wanted to be a business owner since he was a child. In 1972, his father, Mr. Anil Gupte, started the Parent Company, a sole proprietorship. In 1981, Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) was set up to make import replacements for the Indian Engineering Industry.

The Inspiration

Mr. Sachin Gupte was always excited about making new products. When he was young, he looked up to the great Indian industrialists like J.R.D. Tata and S.L. Kirloskar. He remembers seeing Abasaheb Garware and S. L. Kirloskar being interviewed on TV. Mr. Sachin Gupte has always been inspired by the fact that he can run the company on his terms. After getting his engineering degree, he went to work for his father’s company, POSH, which was still in the workshop phase.

POSH has always been based on the idea that it can make world-class Indian products and change how the rest of the world sees the Indian business world. When Mr. Sachin went to work for his father in 1990, his first task was to lay down and put in place different Quality Systems, such as the ISO 9000 Series.

Sachin Gupte, Managing Director

Mr. Sachin Gupte is a Managing Director of Poona Shims Private Limited. He studied Electrical Engineering at Government College of Engineering, Pune & immediately joined POSH in June, 1990. Side by side he attended various Management Development Programmes at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. He is a certified Lead Assessor for Quality Systems under ISO 9000 Series.

Harshada Gupte, Director, Administration & Human Resources

Ms. Harshada Gupte is a Director of Poona Shims Private Limited. The Centre International de Formation Européenne gave her a Master’s in Advanced and International and European Studies. She also has an M.A. in German from Savitribai Phule Pune University and a B.A. in English. With her desire to always learn and do more, she has ensured that everyone at the company can work peacefully. She uses the latest technology in her department to do POSH work as efficiently as feasible.

Aamod Gupte, Director, Technical & Marketing

Mr. Aamod Gupte is a Director of Poona Shims Private Limited. He did his graduation in Design from Falmouth University, Cornwall, England. Later on, he did a Certificate course at Royal College of Arts, London. Recently, he attended a Management Development Programme at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad.

The Challenges

When Mr. Sachin joined POSH, it had lost Rs. 43 lacs, even though it had made Rs. 1.18 crores in sales. So, from the first day he started working, it was a struggle to build a business and get more customers. Mr. Anil was a technical genius, and the business was built on a solid technical foundation. Mr. Sachin Gupte was and still is more concerned with how well the business runs and how much money it makes. He used POSH’s technological background to his advantage and travelled extensively to get more clients, first in India and then abroad.

The Steps Sachin Took to Grow

From 1992, India started slowly joining the open market system. From a lack of availability of products made in India to problems with supply of raw materials, the company’s creativity and efforts to make products in India helped it overcome problems and make India’s auto industry more self-sufficient. When Mr. Sachin joined Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) in 1990, it was a small and locally-based company run by his father. The first problem was getting the company to focus on systems rather than letting people mess with them. Back then, the company had few clients outside the Pune-Mumbai Industrial belt. Mr. Sachin’s first three years on the job were spent getting customers from all over India and a few from outside the country. Improvisation in manufacturing set up was also carried out at the same time. To do that, he used to get up at 6:15 in the morning and go to bed at 12:15 after midnight. Besides, he spent his Thursday weekly off at the company’s Customer Offices. There were also times when he worked every day for three months straight without a single holiday.

Believe in the Brand

Today, Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) is a midsized company that cares a lot about quality, is responsible, professional, and moving forward. It also never breaks its promises. Many of the company’s customers have been with it since it started (40+ years ago), and many have been buying from it for 25+ years. The company’s multinational clients recently said they had used POSH products in all one million IC engines they had built.

POSH supplies 20+ customers in India from a single source and has always sent products on time & as and when needed. There are a lot of big listed companies that provide raw materials to the company. These companies know that Poona Shims is a medium-sized business that pays on time

and needs no follow up or reminders about amounts that are still owed. The company recently won an award for being the best place to work in the Pune region. It has always paid its workers more than the industry average, and 25+ of its workers have been with the company for 30+ to 35+ years, which is nearly for their entire career. Customers have trusted POSH for decades because they have never had a problem.

The company does research, develops and designs the systems, and makes products. It specializes in stainless steel and aluminium Plate Type Oil Coolers for Internal Combustion (IC) Engines, Fuel Rails for Multi-Point Fuel Injection Systems, and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Coolers for IC Engines. POSH has been working hard to make new temperature-maintaining parts for the EV revolution, which is about to start worldwide.

The Rise of Trust

If a company has been buying everyday supplies from POSH for 40+ years, this shows “Customer Trust and Confidence.” As the company moves toward a more digitally connected world, clients are now more aware and expect better solutions. To keep up with the modern world and keep the customers’ trust, which it has had for decades, the company needs to make sustainable, reliable, efficient, and long-lasting products. An entire validation testing lab has been set-up for this purpose.

POSH Difference in the Industry

As the first company to make Oil Coolers in India, POSH has always worked to bring better and new technology to the Indian industry and help it becomes the world beater in its chosen product line. It directly improves the efficiency of IC engines and makes India a cleaner place. Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) has shown over and over that its Oil Coolers work much better than many of its competitors worldwide, who are much bigger and sell more. It wants India to be better, greener, and cleaner, and it wants to help cut down on emissions. By saving their lungs in a roundabout way, POSH has left a direct mark on the hearts of Indian customers.

A POSH Customer

Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) sees every customer as a relationship that will last for a long time. A customer is not a one-time deal. It is a longterm relationship based on long-term support, understanding, and going beyond limits to meet their expectations and understand their needs.

Connection With The Client

Poona Shims is usually involved with its customers right from developing a new product (IC Engine). Customers are invited to participate in internal programmes and not just R&D projects. They can also attend POSH’s internal events, such as “Technology Day, Safety Day” etc. POSH is proud that its Research and Development Center in Satara District has validation equipment that neither its customers nor its competitors have anywhere else in the world. Even places like the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) does not have all the equipment for these products.

The Marketing Efforts

The quality of POSH products speaks for itself. In a world where technology changes so quickly, the company has to share new technology with its clients and help them use it better. The company has run successful programs to tell customers about its new products and show off its latest R&D successes. It does not use words or content to sell a product; instead, it shows off the product to build a lasting relationship.

The Changes to Come

Poona Shims has been working hard on new technology to make heat exchangers or coolers that will be used to control the temperature of electric battery sets and motors. It has always worked to make India greener, and now it will go a step further by making electric cars that use less energy. POSH works hard to find partnerships or joint ventures in new product categories. It is considering buying a small or medium-sized engineering firm in the European Union.

People trust POSH

Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) is proud that many of its customers have given it Best Supplier of the Year awards over the last 40 years. It shows that its customers have trusted it for a long time. Customers trust the company’s brand and products so much that they only buy them from this one company in the worldwide markets. POSH is proud to have given customers more than a million parts without any rejection or mistake. For growth in the future, talks are going on with multinational companies about sending more and more products to their overseas units. Some of its multinational clients have already been doing this for a few years.

The Vision

POSH began in 1981 in a small town, and after years of hard work, it is now known all over the country. The company wants to build its brand and become known worldwide in the automotive industry.

The Journey of Sachin Gupte

When Mr. Sachin Gupte joined Poona Shims Private Limited in 1990, it was a small business with fewer than 100 employees. Today, the number of employees is just under 1000 and growing. Mr. Sachin is very happy to be able to hire more and more people in India, where there are many unemployed people and millions of youngsters who want to work. If the company can get even more business from worldwide Markets, it can hire more people. Since POSH is a manufacturing company, Mr. Sachin’s dream fits with the Prime Minister’s Make in India initiative.

What’s to Come?

Mr. Sachin Gupte wants POSH’s income to go up by at least 20% yearly. At the same time, he would like to be a part of a new project or partnership. Poona Shims Private Limited (POSH) is a well-run medium-sized business today. He wants to create a professional business team with the same values and help them. According to him, the projected growth may happen in

Tips for Other Business Owners

Mr. Sachin Gupte says, “India is a very special place at the moment. Overall, the mood is very upbeat, especially considering how many smart people we have. Now is the right time to jump in and start your own business.” He says people should be ready for hard work and a life full of challenges and stress. He says, “There is money to be made, but the first few years require much patience. Having enough experience and support from your family and life partner is important. If you cannot sell your business idea to your significant other, how will you sell it to bankers, private equity companies, investors, or the capital markets? When I started working in 1990, POSH was losing Rs. 43 lacs, and I used an old two-wheeler to get to our shop, which was 17 kilometres from my house. After 32 years, 50+ other people who work for our company, all drive different cars given by the company.” According to him, the sky is not the limit for entrepreneurs; it is just the beginning!

These ways are nothing but simple additions/alterations to your daily habits that will take you through the whole journey of body and mind wellness.

Mornings Need to Start with Sunlight Sunlight is an essential source of energy for the entire solar system and our bodies are nothing less than the solar system. It is important to activate your senses and musculoskeletal system with sunlight. It stimulates the release of Vitamin D via exposure to healthy UVB photons and is directly related to your mind’s efficient functioning. It is recommended to spend at least 15 minutes in the sun right in the morning. You can feel the freshness it gives to your mind and body.

Don’t Compromise with Physical Activity

Needless to say, exercising is an excellent way of waking up your entire metabolism. Exercising helps to release and regulate hormone production in your body. It helps to strengthen your bones & muscles, reduces anxiety, improves cognitive ability, maintains proper digestion, and better sleep patterns. The benefits are never-ending, so make a habit of exercising for a minimum of 30 minutes per day that too with a proper schedule.

Maintain a Time-Bounded Schedule for Your Body

Our body and mind are the easiest when it comes to training them for good. Following a process for only 21 days, makes it a new habit for you. So make sure you have strict and time-bounded eating, sleeping, and working schedule. For example, make it a habit to have dinner by 8 PM or work out daily at 6 PM and follow it regularly for the coming months. Wavering timings disrupts your body and mind’s state of working, making you feel more confused and tired.

Surround Yourself with a Positive Aura

We are what we surround ourselves with! If we are staying in an environment where there are talks about peace, knowledge, productivity, blissful deeds, gratitude, and growth we carve the best version of ourselves. Remember, there is no space for unhealthy relationships in your life. So be wise while choosing your company and try to inculcate positive affirmations within you.

Meditation Escalates Body and Mind’s Serenity

Indian history is proof of what wonders meditation can do to a human’s life. Mediation aligns all the chakras of your body and alms down your hyperactive senses. It can change the structure and functioning power of the brain through relaxation. It further reduces stress and improves memory and concentration. Start by practicing for a minimum of 5 minutes and stretch to more.

Keep Processed and Sugary Foods at Bay

Refined sugars and processed foods are loaded with unhealthy fats and addictive calories. Refined sugars tend to make you feel sluggish and play with your eating habits. Moreover, these are the main causes of early diabetes and other heart diseases. The same goes for processed foods. Being extremely poor in nutrients and high in sodium and nonessential fats, it will harm your health in the long run if consumed in excess amounts. Switch to healthy snacking like having fruits, nuts, whole grains, and nutrientdense seeds, and churn delicious recipes out of these.

Snoozing Off for 7-9 Hours Daily

Sleeping for a minimum of 7-9 hours is mandatory. It depends from person to person according to their physical activity. Sleep deprivation or disturbed sleep patterns can lead to bad temper, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunctions. Understand how your body responds after you wake up in the morning and determine the sleep requirement of your body.

Control Your Portion Sizes

Have more portions of vegetables, fruits, salads, and low-calorie foods. Be conscious of how much you want to eat because overeating or under-eating has harmful gastrointestinal effects on your body. For example, when we’re eating at buffets we tend to stuff ourselves to the neck which makes us feel heavy throughout the day.

CHILD’S COGNITIVE SKILLS: IMPORTANCE AND WAYS OF IMPROVING THEM

Cognitive Development refers to the development of a child’s ability to explore, identify, remember and solve problems. The early cognitive development of a child demands an environment rich in proactive interactions and opportunities to explore things on their own. As a parent, you must know that sharpening the cognitive skills at early stages lays down the foundation for your child’s success in later stages of life. Here we are discussing the importance of a child’s cognitive skills and effective ways to improve them.

Importance of Developing a Child’s Cognitive Skills

Cognitive Skills have a major role to play in a human’s overall development of the brain. This includes the basic yet vital exercises of the brain like learning, reading, identifying, paying attention, retaining memory, and making decisions. All of these skills are directly proportional to our quality of performance. Lack of these skills decimates and inhibits our information processing systems. Scientists have proved that most complex learning challenges are caused by improper cognitive skills. The growth happens at the ages of 4-12 years and then from 12-18 years. Now at the age of 4-12 years, children tend to grasp the ability to think in ardent ways. From 12-18, the period is called adolescence and they start to develop complex ideologies packed with emotions.

Effective Ways of Improving a Child’s Cognitive Skills

Talking about ways to improve these skills, a significant amount of hard work has to be put in both by parents and schools. It is a 50-50 partnership because schools are the second home to children where they get to experience the first move of every emotion. Here are some ways by which you can promote your child’s cognitive development right from the early stages-

• As a parent of a toddler, you should sing songs with your child and encourage them to sing along. Sweet and soft music stimulates a child’s senses magnificently. Even talking with them and naming commonly used objects is an excellent exercise too.

• Parents should encourage their children to play with other children. Don’t just pack them in homes. Try giving them healthy company.

• Take them out on trips to gardens, museums, children’s libraries, theaters, etc. You can also enroll them in these programs available offline. Practice more shapes, colors, and numeric lessons.

• Let your child narrate their ideas and thoughts with you. Let them think independently.

• Try to make things more interesting for your child by engaging them with light sports like building blocks, alphabetic Casio, poem reciting tools, etc.

• As parents, you must guarantee to limit the screen time of your child. If your child is spending more time on phones and laptops or you’re completely relying on these to educate your child, then you must stop right away. Educate them on the importance of interacting outdoors with nature and people. Recapitulate the things you’ve taught them at the end of the day.

• Sudoku, puzzles, crosswords, and small logic reasoning questions are some other ways to be practiced at home frequently. Don’t forget to compliment your child on the smallest of the achievements made.

• Schools should organize more and more extracurricular activities for children of all groups to ensure their overall development. It is proven that playing sports and exercising help to release certain chemicals that regulate the neurological processes for proper brain growth.

• In addition, schools can also organize crafting, painting, sciencerelated orientation programs, and other creative activities/ competitions to arouse their curiosity. Neither parents nor teachers should hesitate or discourage their “why” questions.

• If your child is a teenager, then first you need to be patient about his/her pace of learning. Don’t pressurize your child to compete with others. Instead, talk to them about the possibilities for their future. Guide them in setting goals and appreciate their decisions. Don’t just run before their good grades, you need to pay attention towards their mental peace and happiness in their lives.

• You have to stand with your teen child during adverse encounters with life. Hold their hands and help them in re-evaluating their decisions rather than shouting or screaming at them for doing things wrong.

• Include him/her in positive and informative discussions about a variety of topics related to sustainability, current affairs, social responsibility, conventional morals, etc. Teenage and adolescence are massively sensitive periods of an individual’s life and so must be handled with utmost love, care, compassion, and support.

A Company That’s Redefining Work Culture Norms Through Novel Practices

In the modern business world, the success of a company is largely determined by the atmosphere at its workplace. An overall growth-centric attitude is a strong indicator of high employee performance levels in a company. Such an attitude can only be created and sustained through the rigorous implementation of an integral work culture.

As we near the onset of 2022, some illustrious companies have ushered a remarkable paradigm-shift in the prevailing work culture norms in their industry. Through their reformative work policies, they’ve not only enhanced employee wellbeing but also raised the collective quality standards of the market.

One among such companies is vCommission, an esteemed Gurgaon-based affiliate marketing firm. Reverred as India’s Leading Global Affiliate Network, vCommission has paved the way for a whole new work culture paradigm through its heavily employeecentric practices.

A vision of entrepreneurs Tarang & Parul Bhargava, vCommission was conceived back in 2008 when the affiliate industry in India was in its infancy. Fastforward to 2021, it has garnered 80 M visits in Monthly Global traffic, 2.5 M in Monthly Conversions, and $2B in Monthly GMV.

The stellar success of the brand can be attributed to various key elements within its workspace:

The Relentless Winning Spirit of vCommission

According to Parul Bhargava, the Co-Founder & CEO of vCommission, it’s the will to prove themselves and become a leader that determines whether a member at will be truly successful at the company. Also, traits like the right behaviour, willingness to learn, follow processes, the ability to synergize, and thinking outside-the-box are greatly appreciated.

Parul Tarang Bhargava | CEO & Co-Founder

The culture at vCommission revolves around 9 strong values. Inculcating them in one’s work ethics is paramount to success at the company. These values are:

• Integrity

• A Win-Win Approach

• Team Work

• Closure

• Knowledge

• K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Silly)

• Innovation

• Celebration

In addition to such a strong work credo, the company also boasts of an environment that’s conducive to maximal efficacy. This is elucidated in more detail below.

A Well-Rounded Work Environment

Parul describes the work environment at vCommission as very chilled out. She believes that a positive work environment, not bound by draconian restrictions, can have a massive impact on a person’s overall motivation, team morale, and satisfaction levels. This, in turn, boosts the productivity levels of all members. In addition to this, the members are always encouraged to come with better ideas and are given freedom on how they want to work. The company furthermore exercises an efficacious management style that blends discipline and empathy. It ensures that the members feel comfortable and appreciated at all times. At the same time, however, it makes certain that they don’t lack focus and are always committed to their work. Through its inclusive environment, the company strives to holistically achieve goals, take the right decisions, and execute plans with the right mindset and integrity.

Emphasis on Professional & Social Development

To constantly sharpen the professional acumen of team members, Parul believes in training people with the right knowledge and inculcating skills in them. This helps them not only develop at a professional level but also foster substantial personal growth. Training sessions are given from time to time so that member performance can be effectively monitored. If there is some kind of lack, it is worked upon immediately with utmost care & diligence. In addition to the relentless professional development, vCommission also emphasizes a great deal on social development by fostering community interactions. From time to time, the company hosts social events for the members. Be it festive celebrations like Diwali to townhall events, every event is an opportunity for the members to collaborate, bond, and create some really amazing memories. This eventually brings about a strong sense of belonging within the organization.

The Team’s Never-Back-Down-Attitude

Having a flexible growth mindset, the company’s team acknowledges that failures and a part & parcel of anyone’s journey. One cannot expect to be successful in every move they make. However, they realize that it’s highly important to learn from failures and bounce back with an improved game. A failure can be small or even quite grand. The point of power, they believe, lies in how tactfully we rise from each failure. Furthermore, they feel it’s important to own one’s mistakes and fix them, instead of perpetually dwelling on what went wrong.

The team moreover emphasizes the same kind of growth mentality in developing its operational processes as well. It utilizes a kind of synergy in its approach

A Synergistic Process Strategy

vCommission’s process strategy is strikingly unique in that it blends a results and process-driven approach. As a pioneer in affiliate marketing, it deploys a strategic synergy of analytical skills and workable business thinking. The company incorporates its core values along with hands-on affiliate marketing knowledge to best determine the ideal growth trajectory.

In addition to right execution of properly crafted processes, vCommission also focuses on harmonious coordination between its different departments. Without collaboration, nothing substantial can be truly achieved. The company is cognizant of this fact, hence leaders of different departments ensure that there’s streamlined communication happening within the teams and departments as well.

As a testament to its efficacious strategies, vCommission has garnered numerous milestones which are especially noteworthy in the industry.

Significant Milestones of The Company

In 2008, vCommission was conceptualized by Tarang & Parul Bhargava with the vision to achieve aspirational heights; its goal wasn’t merely to chase numbers but establish redefining milestones in its respective market space. Thus far, the company has been remarkably successful on this front.

» In 2013, vCommission saw its merger with Adways, which is one of the pioneers in mobile marketing in all of Asia.

» By 2015, the company was listed within the Top 50 Alexa rankings.

» In 2016, the company invested in 10 different startups.

The company was also recognized as the “Brand of The Year 2021” and among the “30 Most Trusted Brands to Watch in 2021”. Going forward, both Tarang & Parul have an ambitious vision for growth that they’ll systematically achieve in the coming years.

Vision For The Future

Fructifying their core ideals, Parul, as the CEO of the company, intends to continue working with the zeal to expand their venture by manifolds. For this, she’s mixing a bit of both imaginative and analytical thinking to come up with the best-possible solutions that’re path-breaking. She further says that as a leading organization, they’re never complacent with what they’ve achieved. Instead, it’s always about “What’s Next!”. This is what makes them tick and put their best foot forward in every situation. Talking about the road map of the company’s future, she says that the next decade’s target is to hit a $ 1 Billion revenue milestone. The company’s ultimate vision is to lead the digital space and become a trendsetter for the industry values, wisdom, and revolution, and in turn spurring the transformation of digitization.

On a conclusive note, Parul shares an impactful quote by Steve Jobs for budding entrepreneurs: “Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Mr. Manoj Tandon’s Ambitious Plan for SME’s

Manoj Tandon Chief executive officer

DALITSO

About Dalitso:

What inspired you to start your Dalitso?

After being in the Top Management of many companies, when I decided to come out of the corporate world and work towards giving back to the society in general and business world in particular, I was looking around and talking to various people. One thing that I came out clearly was that if I really want to contribute to the business world, I should seriously look at helping SMEs

in our country. Such companies cannot afford to hire top people of the industry, cannot afford to engage big consulting companies BUT they are in need of some serious advice about how to manage, sustain and grow their companies. They start, grow to some level and then get stuck at the certain scale. Thus, was born the idea of Dalitso. A company focused towards helping the SME’s. Which provides high quality guidance and mentoring at a cheap, affordable price (price only to ensure that the giver and receiver remain serious towards the work).

What were the initial challenges faced by your business?

Initial challenges were essentially that whenever people think of consulting, they think of large expenses. It took me a while to explain to the youngsters that times and business models have changed. Cheap and affordable consulting is also possible.

To begin, how is your brand-defining “trust” in the market? What stands behind its uniqueness? Short term trust can be built by smart marketing campaigns but long-term trust can only be built by actions. We don’t believe in short term relationships. For us, we want to be with our clients till they have attained success which they aspire for.

That is what is behind its uniqueness.

What are the offerings (services/solutions)?

Our relationships start with us trying to understand our customer’s business, its founders’ vision, financial situation and other current status of the company.

Post that we work with our clients to work out their strategy, business plans, and action plans. Once that is done, usually we start by supporting them in increasing their sales.

We are very hands on people so I not only tell them what to do but also sit with them in customer calls, go with them for the customer meetings etc.).

The idea is not to just tell but do things with them so that they can also learn by watching.

Generally, post the improvement in Sales starts the work on Delivery, HR etc. Because as the business starts to grow, it has to delivered and it has to be delivered by people…. of course, during the entire time, Finances remain under the magnifying glass at all times.

These are the offerings that we have, essentially, the entire business cycle.

In an age of mistrust, are you seeing an evolution in how consumers trust brands, or are they still for the most part doubtful?

As I mentioned before, trust takes time to build, solidify and sustain. Any short-term measure not backed with solid work results in loss of trust. Since many brands are going for short term measures, suspicion persists.

How did you make your mark in the industry and in the heart of the customers?

I have been in the industry since the 1980’s so I knew most of the happenings for long time. Also, working for a long time in US, UK and France helped me further.

There is only one way to make a mark in the heart of your customers, deliver value and stay laser focused on it at all times.

What is a customer for you?

I don’t like the concept of customer. For me, there are some people or some company which have needs which I can fulfill as a partner (not in the legal sense). I am that partner. I am not there to make money off that company, I am there to first make them succeed and then thru that make my living.

How well are the clients connected with your brand?

Quite well.

I have never run any sales or marketing campaign. Customers have come to me purely by word to mouth. We are working in US, UK and I am also a mentor for Tech Manchester (a group whose vision is to help SME’s in Greater Manchester Area).

What are the most effective marketing initiatives or programs you have used to promote your initiatives/offerings/services?

Like I said before, I don’t run such campaigns. Customers come to me thru word of mouth because somewhere I try not to look at them as a customer.

Have you measured how much trust consumers have in your brand?

Haven’t lost any customer due to poor mentorship or guidance so far. That is my biggest measure of trust.

What’s the first thing that enters a consumer’s mind when they see your brand?

A company which is a friend, philosopher, guide…and mentor. More like a elder in the house who cares for the family and youngsters yet has the capability to help in the development of the young ones.

What is the future plan connected with the brand?

We have gone international in times of Covid. We now want to expand our footprint in Europe.

How has been your journey as an entrepreneur? Exciting, Exhilarating and amazing. It’s the most beautiful feeling to see your client partner succeed. The smile on the owner’s face makes it all worthwhile.

What do you hope to accomplish within the next year from personal as well as professional point of view?

Am planning to write a book to summarize my experiences of this journey. For the company, going farther and deeper internationally is my plan.

A piece of advice for the young entrepreneurs

It is tough to advice in one line. It will not be proper. Reach me at manoj@tmtc.co

Will be happy to give you my thoughts in detail over a cup of coffee.

A feedback from your end would be really appreciable. Your words matter for us!!

Varun Singh, Managing Director and business maven who has achieved immense success in this billion-dollar sector leads it.

Come, let’s take a look at his company, entrepreneurial outlook, his views regarding the immigration sector and more.

Overview of XIPHIAS Immigration and its offerings

Inception Story

In 2002, Mr. Rohit Kumar founded XIPHIAS, the Group Company. This was followed by the registration of XIPHIAS Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd in 2005. Three years later, looking to the the potential and need for a good consultancy in the immigration sector and formed XIPHIAS Immigration in 2009. Thus began his mission to provide opportunities to those who dream to work and settle abroad.

They started with a small office in Banashankari with five people and hundreds of clients. The industry was relatively new and needed organized players like them, with everything having a legal binding. Over the years, XIPHIAS has expanded from Banashankari to Koramangala, with 5 to 200+ employees and served hundreds to thousands of clients.

Entrepreneurial Journey

Like any other successful entrepreneur, Varun, too, faced many obstacles along the way. He started afresh and, with hard work and dedication, led his team towards excellence. This has earned XIPHIAS the coveted position of being amongst the Top 5 Immigration Consultants in India.

Varun believes challenges are a necessary component to the growth of any company or individual. But, there are no challenges XIPHIAS faced that were or will be difficult to deal with.

Mr. Singh attributes his company’ success to well-trained employees, perseverance and cooperative clients. “For us, there is no employeremployee relationship but only the XIPHIAS family that lends us the strengthtokeepinnovatingandsucceedintonewverticals”, shares the gentleman.

his company has won many awards, including:

» Most Promising Immigration Consultancy Company of the Year

» Business & Leadership Excellence Award

» Global Business Leadership Award

» The APJ Abdul Kalam Excellence Award.

“However, our biggest award is the positive client testimonials and the bondwesharewiththem”, humbly acknowledges the businessman.

Trust Is The Key To XIPHIAS’ Success

According to Varun Singh, the biggest challenge in the immigration Industry is the wrong sales. Rather than understanding clients’ dreams and guiding them, most consultants these days take invoices only for profit. This is something Varun has avoided since the beginning.

XIPHIAS follows the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. It shares a transparent relationship with clients and does not give false assessments and hopes. Before accepting a case, the company thoroughly reviews credentials to ensure a reasonable chance of acceptance by the Government of Canada. If an application is unsuccessful, the company informs clients honestly and promptly to avoid wasting their time and hard-earned money.

Social Media is another area where Varun Singh focuses on staying ahead of the market trend. XIPHIAS gets most of its clients through social shoutouts, online testimonials and references. More than 80% of its business happens through positive word of mouth.

Future Plans

Immigration is a fast-growing sector. Nobody wants to be a local citizen; people are keener on becoming global citizens. Everybody wants to improve their standard of living, and immigration assures a better life for individuals and their families.

Expansion is inevitable, and XIPHIAS has grown multi-fold since its inception. When he started, Varun had a team of 4-5 employees, and now, his company has offices all across India and abroad.

The entrepreneur has lofty dreams; XIPHIAS aims to become the world’s best immigration company by serving clients with integrity, honesty and professionalism.

It has partnered with more than 300 colleges worldwide and provide free services to them. Similarly, it also aims to help students with end-to-end career opportunities.

But above all, Varun Singh envisions a future where he maintains XIPHIAS’s track record of neat and clean processes and a strong reputation in the market.

Advice for young entrepreneurs

There’s one word of advice Varun Singh would like to give to young professionals - that they should focus on building trust and making ethical sales. “Do not misguide the client and play with their dreams,” says the gentleman.
