for change. The financial markets in India held untapped potential, and a discerning observation of traditional
brokerage practices ignited the spark of revolution. Thus, the journey began—a journey fueled by the belief that
clients’ needs should take precedence over all else.

13. NOT ABLE TO BREATHE PROPERLY THROUGH YOUR NOSE ?
Well, you’re not the only one who has been facing this problem. The sign of sinus is among the top ten diagnoses made by
primary care doctors. Yet there are also numerous myths about sinuses, considering how widespread
these common issues are, which also hinder patients from getting the right care.
Natural Home Remedies To Get
Relief From Sinus
Sinus starts with a cold that can turn into a bacterial infection.
Sinuses are air-filled cavities located on both sides of the nose.
Sometimes these may be clogged or infected. This can create various
complication like Fever, Weakness, Fatigue, Cough, Headache, and
Snoring problem.
There are certain food and homemade remedies that can trigger
sinus symptoms, like fried and starchy foods, rice, meat and strong
spices. Intake of Vitamin A can help you build a strong defence
against the sinus infection. Here are some dietary precautions that
you must follow. Dairy products, especially cheese, yoghurt and ice
cream should be avoided.
If you are a chocolate lover then you have to say ‘Bye! Bye!
Chocolate’ sugar and yeast containing foods trigger excess mucus
production in sinuses. Also, say no to Cold Drinks, the intake of
cold substance will stall cilia movement within the nose, making it
difficult for nasal mucus to flow through the nasal passages.
HEALTH
Here are some effective food & home remedies for sinus
that can help you tackle the problem naturally
TYPES

H e a l t h
• PUNGENT SPICES
Spices like anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, such as cayenne pepper, assist in breaking
up and draining out congested mucus. Similarly, to make a mucus dissolving elixir, horseradish
can be blended with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. Alternatively, 1/4 of a teaspoon of freshly
grated horseradish root should be held in the mouth for a few minutes and can be swallowed until
the taste has evaporated.
• STEAM
This remedy works like magic that even doctors are prescribing it. Add 3 drops of pine or rosemary
oil to a steaming hot bowl of water with 3 drops of peppermint and 2 drops of eucalyptus oil, or
add 3 drops of rosemary with 1 drop of thyme and peppermint oil. Drape a towel around the back
of your head with your face down above the water and inhale the steam, which can help clear a
blocked nasal passage.
• TURMERIC (HALDI) AND GINGER ROOT
Turmeric root is one of the wonderful spices, it’s widely used in India, which is fragrant.
Turmeric provides not only natural anti-inflammatory properties, but it is also rich in
antioxidants. This mixture will help to release mucus from clogged nasal passages, relieve
sinus pressure, and make you feel immediately better when mixed with spicy ginger root and
brewed in hot tea.
• SOUP
Studies believe that the consumption of soup helps in easing congestion. You can pick from a

Empowering People to Navigate the Stock Market
with Confidence – Through Their Comprehensive
Curriculum and Dedicated Teachers
One pioneering leader and specialized service provider for
training in the trading industry set out on its mission a year ago:
to make the stock market’s intricacies easier for the average
person to understand and help them learn how to trade.
Under the leadership of dynamic and passionate CEO Shiv
Sharma, the firm has clocked tremendous growth towards
becoming a perfect financial partner within a year.
Perpetually dedicated to making sure traders have the right
mindset for success in the ever-changing markets, Tradecare

a learning platform, Tradecare takes great pride in acting as a
mentor to teach people the art of trading stocks, currencies, and

and equipping you with the right mindset which enables you

Tracing the Roots
“The success of Tradecare isn’t just about working together—
it’s about real connections and a shared passion that keeps
our team strong”, quoted Mr Sharma.
Tradecare traces its roots back to the college days of its founder,
Shiv Sharma. During his college years, Shiv commenced this
business endeavour with the goal of equipping people with the
knowledge, abilities, and mindset needed for effective trading.
Driven by a passion for the financial markets and a desire to share
knowledge, Shiv laid the foundation for Tradecare. What began
as a side project in college has grown into a successful business,
mentoring and teaching people about the complexities of trading.
From its humble beginnings, Tradecare Private Limited has
grown into a community-driven platform, shaping the way
people approach and succeed in the dynamic world of trading.
Shiv first hired friends from school who were passionate about
finance and had similar visions. This created the foundation for
a group of people who shared Tradecare’s objective and were
highly driven.
Shiv visited people from different states and backgrounds in
order to introduce varied viewpoints. Specifically, he was eager
to learn what they believed about the stock market. This attempt
at developing connections with various people gave the team a
variety of perspectives and abilities.
In Sync with the Latest Tech Advancements
One of Tradecare Private Limited’s primary tactics for
empowering traders in the dynamic market environment is to

user-friendly interfaces are only a couple of the technologies
they emphasize using to make learning easier for users. The
processes remain active and in step with the quick changes
occurring in the financial markets because of regular upgrades
and enhancements.
Moreover, they also actively explore cutting-edge technologies
like machine learning and artificial intelligence to refine their
analytical capabilities.
Words of Wisdom by the Leading Man
Advising all aspiring entrepreneurs, Mr. Sharma stated, “In the journey of entrepreneurship, there
might be moments when working long hours feels challenging, even exhausting. However, let me share
a perspective: working for your passion makes those fifteen to sixteen hours a day feel less like a chore.
Rather, they turn into a labor of love—a quest for something significant and satisfying.”
“Have faith in your goals, maintain your fortitude, and view obstacles as chances to improve. Each setback
serves as a prelude to a triumph. Always remember to stay positive, never stop learning, and, above all,
never undervalue the importance of passion and hard work.
In the words of Walt Disney, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” So take
your courage, go after your goals, and never forget that the journey is just as significant as the destination.”

21. T
he facility management sector is rapidly growing
in India. Since the last decade, the dynamics of this
servicehasaidedsustainablegrowthacrossindustries.
Whilst ensuring the safety and hygiene of employees, the
reduction of carbon footprints during project development
to transition too is noteworthy. Constructions appear
when an architect translates aesthetic ideas into reality
that represents luxury and panache. Hiring a professional
facility management firm ensures the dream lasts the
sands of time. But, behind the optimacy are ingenious
minds, who oversee day-to-day operations and uphold the
culture of a business. In simple words, it is a COO (Chief
Operations Officer), who shoulders everyday operations
to ensure overall excellence. COO is usually the second-in-
command in a business foundation and undoubtedly one
of the highest designations. While other labels like CMO,
CTO, CFO, etc. have a focused responsibility, a COO has to
oversee all of them. In other words, COO can be compared
- to the Chief Of Staff in Naval Command!
But despite having such a prominent role, COOs are
often perceived with ambiguities regarding their duties.
Being the second-in-command, he needs to carry out the
CEOs decision and ensure every idea and concept sees
development. Business Connect Magazine recognizes the
day-to-day ordeals of a COO and through its upcoming
edition, “COO of the Year 2021”, aims to empower their
importance. Featured below is the story of Anand GD,
COO of TCFM (Technique Control Facility Management),
one of the fastest-growing Facility Management providers
in Pan India. Having around 2 decades of experience in
overseeing operations, Anand has been integral in TCFM’s
expansion that grows over new business horizons.
A PAN-INDIA ORGANISATION
TCFM is a 100% owned subsidiary of Embassy Services
Pvt. Ltd. (ESPL), one of the largest and trusted names in
Facility Management with a lineage of over 25 years. TCFM
took its first step in 1995 in Europe and with the emerging
opportunities forayed into the Indian Market in 2009. Since
then, ESPL and TCFM have worked in tandem to provide
manpower solutions to a large clientele. Considering
the expertise, scalability, and forecasted demand for
professional FM services, ESPL bought a 100% stake in
TCFM in 2016. From there on, TCFM’s journey has only
been onward and upward.
The Company is serving over 150 clients spanning an area
of over 70 Million sq. ft. Pan India. Its services address all
genres of real estate in commercial, residential, co-working,
hospitality, retail, education, medical, energy, industrial &
warehousing segments. It has employed over 7000 professionals
- trained on severe modules that build competency in
housekeeping, technical & engineering services, disinfection,
sanitization, pest control, and landscaping amongst others.
TCFM is also technologically integrated for its day-to-day
operations which gives them an edge over competitors and
allows the pursuit of FM with a data-centric, predictive, and
prescriptive model of operational delivery.
GUIDED BY AN AMBITIOUS LEADER
Train people well enough so they can leave,
treat them well enough so they don’t want to!
- Richard Branson.
The phrase summarizes how Anand pursues the people
management ordeal for TCFM. He believes that empowering
the employees with education, mechanized tools, and upskilling
programs allows for a steadfast workforce. As the COO, he
supervises all the administrative and daily operations at par
with the core values. Simultaneously, he implements his
expertise in mechanization and automation of multi-faceted
processes. Anand’s long-standing exposure has helped in
keeping TCFM at the forefront of providing safety, hygiene, and
business continuity at spaces. Post pandemic the demand for
Professional FM has become more evident, Anand’s leadership
will guide TCFM to seek and procure this demand.

His instrumental leadership has rewarded TCFM
with a 7000+ manpower spread across 14 cities, from
a base of 3000, that too within just one year of 2019-
20. The workforce is exceptionally diverse and comes
from all walks of life. While the core team consists of
experts in their field, many of their staff on the ground
come from very simple backgrounds with simple
qualifications. But, their USP lies in the ability to learn
and grow. TCFM, not only provides the job, but also
an education and a uniform – all of which contribute to
deserved respect. What makes the organization more
complacent is that the value of the person is constantly
communicated and recognized through regular R&R
programs and platforms. This makes everyone in the
TCFM family feel grateful and look forward to their
day at work.
FACTORS KEEPING THEM AT THE FOREFRONT
The facility management industry is a very conventional
business formed upon conventional values. Here, it is
important to adhere to the changing compliance norms
and standards to be at par with the global market. TCFM
has a full-fledged SSG team (Specialist Services Group),
which keeps the Company in touch with compliances
and statutory bodies. It manages properties that are
certified by global bodies such as LEED, IGBC, BSC,
CII, etc., thereby adhering to globally acceptable levels
for processes and best practices in Facility management.
R&D plays an integral part in keeping the Company
updatedwithoperationalinnovations.Deepinvestment
in research and development helps them with the
automation and mechanization of services. Utilizing
customized technology tools enables TCFM with a
predictive and prescriptive methodology to manage
large volumes of assets spread across large areas. This
includes monitoring assets and their consumables
such as diesel, energy, etc., to tracking manpower and
the status of customer complaints. These technical
competencies allow clients and facility managers to run
entire operations over a tab from anywhere across the
globe with high proficiency.
A VIRTUOUS WORK CULTURE
Just like its prolific business model, TCFM has a
wholesome work culture. “When the intentions of
respect and welfare are are pursued right from the
start as the founding values of the organization, it
coherently resonates to reach the end customer with the
same intention”, asserts Anand. Since its responsibility
encircles health and wellbeing to customers, the ethic
helps maintain a 98% client retention rate. Also, TCFM
has well-defined tasks and KRAs formed upon analysis
of data, which helps them set realistic targets. “Our
motivation strategy is simple - Don’t designate tasks
that are not achievable, ensure that tasks given are
completed, scrutinize when not, provide more support
and training so that it can be”, acknowledges Anand.
The Process is repeated and remarkable performances
are rewarded accordingly.
Employees further enjoy access to education, upskilling
opportunities, and growth. This allows them to feel
content and look forward to a long career at TCFM.
A HELPING HAND TO SOCIETY
While upscaling the efficiency of companies through FM solutions,
TCFM keeps a hawk’s eye on societal concerns. It provides routine
housekeeping and sanitation to over 17 govt. schools in Karnataka
and sponsors underprivileged children in Govt. schools. After
these children complete graduation in the affiliated institutes,
they get an opportunity to work at TCFM upon completing a one-
month training program. TCFM stands proud for having 5 such
students from the two training courses conducted. They are now
employees having a good pay slab coupled with a respectable
designation. TCFM also worked actively with the BMC Mumbai
on a drone disinfection drive to eradicate mosquito breeding
grounds and trained the govt. on efficient housekeeping of the
COVID relief centers.
SHOWERED WITH ACCOLADES AND MILESTONES
Over the period, TCFM has attained phenomenal growth and laid
several landmarks on its path. In 2017, it delved into Mechanized
cleaning services and in the next two years expanded its services Pan
India. In 2020, it entered into aerial disinfection & fumigation services

obvious trend that epitomizes efficiency, TCFM is
leading the arena with competent innovation and
proptech tools that drive excellence in operational
delivery. With time, it aims to integrate more of
digitalization and contactless processes that drive

23. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, after spending so many months at home, children around the world
are returning to school. Things at school won’t be as same as before,
there will be a set of new rules and regulations that will be mandated to follow. One of the most important rules that would
be listed at the top is to wear a mask. Masks have become the most common part of our lives now but the
question arises, how children will adapt to such a new environment at schools? How will teaching and learning behind a
mask affect the learning?
When the matter of communication comes, the first thing that approaches to our mind is talking through
our mouths in order to create sounds and speech. However, contact actually requires a range of visual and audio signals,
such as facial expressions, gestures and eye gaze, as well as speech.
Will Teaching From Behind A Mask
Affect Communication & Learning
?
EDUCATION
Communication & Learning
Well, soon the schools will reopen and children will be back to their school life
but things won’t be the same as earlier. There will be new rules, new methods
of learning etc. we are all aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our
lives a lot and people are trying to adapt to the new normal.
There is a widespread apprehension as the school years approach to begin.
While it remains to be seen exactly how will children be reacting to the situation
where teachers will be teaching them wearing masks. The most important thing
for both children and teachers is to adjust to the new normal.
“Face features (such as the size and shape of the nose, the colour of the eyes,
etc.) and their formation are not only used to describe faces but also to infer the
emotions they convey”.
The face, from which observers can quickly
and easily generate a variety of readings, is
one of the most important tools in human
communication.Themostbasictypeofhuman
communication is through facial expressions.
Will children be able to adapt to this new
normal of education through behind the mask?
How can face masks change the learning
environment?
At school, for children, it is more convenient
to retain knowledge and understand new
concepts of learnings through gestures.
The way children interact and understand
is through the assistance of both visual and
audio sensory inputs. Although, gestures
could prove helpful as teachers communicate
from behind the mask, if visual speech signals
are fully obscured, learning would certainly be
impaired. But how, and to what extent?
The lower half of the face is obscured by
masks that limit the ability to speak, perceive
and imitate the gestures of those with whom
we communicate. Positive emotions become
less noticeable, amplifying negative emotions.
In general, emotional mimicry, contagion,
and emotionality are reduced and that way
the bonding between teachers and students
might get disturbed.
Every child cannot adapt to communicating
with masks, some children may face
difficulties. For instance, children those are
deaf or have some hearing issues mostly
rely on lip-reading but due to the wearing of
masks, they could fall behind. Teachers may
have to come up with some ideas and adapt
their strategies according to the needs of the
students.
