sugar industry in India, has led to adopting robust
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems has
become essential for companies seeking efficiency,
scalability, and competitiveness. Playing a pivotal role in
transforming traditional business operations by offering
flexible, cost-effective, and technologically advanced
solutions, ERP provides businesses with a centralized
platform that integrates various functions, including
finance, human resources, supply chain management,
customer relationship management, and more.
By migrating their ERP systems , companies can streamline
operations, improve cross-departmental collaboration, and
enhance data visibility and accessibility. The AI-based ERP
solution providers enable real-time data synchronization,
allowing stakeholders to access critical information from
any location and device with an internet connection. These
systems can easily adapt to fluctuations in data storage
requirements, user capacity, and processing power.
This scalability ensures businesses can efficiently manage
growth, avoid infrastructure constraints, and minimize
upfront investments. These companies prioritize data
security and provide robust measures to protect sensitive
business information. They employ advanced encryption
techniques, regular data backups, and disaster recovery
mechanisms to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and
availability.
However, implementing AI ERP solutions could be
challenging for the in-house IT teams as several aspects are
required. It has led to the need for highly efficient and
effective ERP solution partners like Atharva Agronomics
- which is fast emerging as the leading Sugar ERP solution
provider and enabling businesses to organize their processes
and accelerate their growth accordingly.
Under the exemplary leadership of Shekhar Adake, the
CEO, Atharva Agronomics has strengthened several
businesses by streamlining operations, enhancing collabora-
tions, achieving scalability, cost optimization, boosting data
security, and driving their growth.

to create a super-efficient ERP platform that can serve every

techie, Shekhar switched to solving the problems in areas

19. truly innovative mind is a neurological beehive of
Acreative ideas flying with their magic of limitless
imagination by defying every law in the books
ever proven. The restlessness of the rebelliously constant
change shatters the boundaries of the past to usher the
present into the futuristic times, again proving that we
must embrace novelty with an open mind no matter what.
Those of us divergent enough to carve out our
transformative thinking can, in reality, change the world
for the better.
If you don’t believe it, ask the Bumblebees, who have been
flying since their species came into existence by defying
all laws of aerodynamics. It might be thanks to their being
unaware of the laws themselves, but they have been
inspiring wise humanity from the age of sensibility and the
dawn of reasoning.
“Bumblebees at Interactive Bees – a full-service brand
communication agency – are our inspiration, too,
says the Founder and Director, Monica Gupta.
Interactive Bees started in 2008 when the ‘start-up’
buzzword was still finding its ground, and companies were
playing safe by using traditional marketing solutions for
branding purposes. Already worked as a seasoned
marketing professional, Monica realized that with the
changing world, brands needed more than just traditional
marketing; they required an integrated approach to
marketing which comprises both conventional as well as
digital with a secret and a smart ingredient what she terms
as ‘Brand Storytelling.’
She explains, “Let’s take an example of the days when our
grandparents told us stories.” The stories were not just
read; they were told with words that children could
visualise. There were sound effects and voice modulations
infused in the narration, and the story remained imprinted in
our brains, waiting to be retold. It is the USP of Interactive
Bees, which is a complete Brand Communication Agency,
that offers 360° integrated brand-building solutions that
leave an imprint on the consumer's mind with a favourable
image and top-of-the-mind recall. She adds, “Our beehive
of experienced professionals design unique solutions
customised according to each area of business; Our list of
client testimonials encompasses a rich mix of brands from
various industry segments - B2B, B2C, NGOs and even
Government Organizations.”
Regaling her journey in this industry and how she made the
brand Ibees excel in its niche, Monica says she knew it
wouldn’t be easy, but she was sure it was possible. As a
child, she struggled with dyslexia, but with determination,
she overcame all mental blocks and rose above the
challenges. Meditation has helped her in this journey of
realising her creative and logical potential and building a
path of her own through hard work and perseverance.
For about a decade, she worked across industry-leading
creative teams, driving innovative projects and successfully
delivering solutions to clients until it was time to choose the
obvious path of starting her own company. On
th
17 December 2008, Interactive Bees was formed along
with a group of passionate professionals equipped with
different expertise.

20. Creating a Buzz
From the start, Monica’s vision of Interactive Bees was
about creating a holistic Brand Communication agency that
works as a solution provider for the overall brand identity
creation, brand positioning and marketing communication
design and development for various brands. From Offline
(Brand Identity Creation, Communication Style and Design
Creation, Print Designs, Films) to BTL (events, designs,
etc.) to Digital Marketing (owned, social, marketplace,
bought and earned media), “We have gradually built our
niche as the ultimate destination for overall brand
communication. I am happy to say that in fourteen years,
Interactive Bees has created a buzz amongst the who’s who
of the Brand Advertising world and has been the proud
recipient of numerous titles and awards in this field,”
she says with a smile.
Being a holistic Brand Communication Agency is not just
about being creative; Monica encourages her team to
practice a research-based work process at Interactive Bees.
Therefore, their client list is not limited to a particular
business segment. They excel in B2C brand communication
and have mastered the art of brand positioning in the B2B
segment, which helps them fly high even in such volatile
times. Dedication and passion for the work and doing it
innovatively with customised solutions delivered are the
practices that keep them ahead of the competition, along
with quick and timely turnaround.
The Power of Change
Whether in her personal life or managing Interactive Bees,
Monica ensures that their vision remains focused and that
their attitude tackles every challenge as another stepping
stone towards success.
She shares, “Well, frankly, we have always loved and
stayed headstrong with our Purpose of creating the agency,
which gives us clarity on; “Why am I doing what I am
doing?” Clear individual and organisational purpose
awareness, which is well-aligned, and we constantly keep
the attention.”
Being an experienced leader, sharing her opinion on how
adopting modern technologies like AI and ML impacts her
industry and how Ibees is adapting to the change, Monica
says she started Interactive Bees when the marketing world
was transitioning towards digital, “And we all know that the
industry has seen a tremendous transformation within the
last decade.”
The Tech-Nectar
It is not incorrect to say that ‘those who adapt and adopt’
are growing. AI and Machine Learning have created their
presence in all aspects of human communication and
learning. While many believe this will lead to many jobs
becoming irrelevant and redundant in the near future,
she believes they will evolve.
“Many of us are spiralling and getting stressed when it's
time to evolve by using the latest technologies for our good.
At Interactive Bees, we take modern technology as a
learning ground and find a balance between the creativity of
employees and the convenience of technology.”
Let’s take an example of the recent buzz around ChatGPT;
though much about it is still to be understood, Ibees
creative team is already optimising their skillset by working
around concepts like prompt engineering and its application
within their arena. They believe technology interwoven
with human creativity can result in tremendous success.
The Honeycomb
Considering the current industry scenario, Monica accepts
there are challenges they face, yet they drive their company
to overcome these obstacles. The market has been highly
volatile for the past few years, especially as uncertainty
loomed during the COVID times, because of the Work from
home, business-from-home cultures and a lot of new
normals creeping up. Creating and maintaining their
position in the market and holding together a team of more
than sixty people at a time when clients have limited their

budgets and attrition is at an all-time high, they know the
quality of their work will help them overcome all hurdles.
“The way ahead for every company in the business of client
servicing is to create an ecosystem where your customer
becomes our spokesperson, and that for us is Mission
Accomplished!” she believes.
Her advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture
into the Brand Communicators niche is simple – keep your
vision straight and focused. Understand your client’s
requirements very well. It is essential for every person
trying to make their mark in the industry to take care of and
respect themselves and their team in all situations. There
will be challenges along the way. As we are in a highly
volatile and fast-moving arena, be flexible and innovative,
and keep upskilling is her mantra.
The Beehive of the Future
On envisioning scaling Interactive Bees’ operations and
offerings in the future, Monica reveals they have reached
the threshold of completing 14 years, overcoming many
challenges and growing steadily by focusing on delivering
quality service to their clients. She envisions Interactive
Bees as the preferred agency for brands across industries.
A happy team balanced with go-getter attitudes will keep
the creativity buzzing and the agency moving ahead. “We
are working towards scaling up our operations by serving
clients beyond national borders and helping potential start-
ups create their brand communication strategy from brand
visibility to public relations,” she says, adding her clients’
praises for Interactive Bees.
§ Shabana Rahman: Deputy General Manager at
Century Plyboards -
“Monica makes everyone see the best in every situation and
strive for excellence. She is a team player and will take you
through her ideas, make you believe and participate in her
vision and then commence work. It is the quality that makes
her different from any other agency head that I have worked
with. She is passionate about her work and doesn't fear
giving her opinion on ideas and strategies if she thinks they
will not benefit the brand. Over the years, I have also seen
her do much pro-Bono work for causes she believes in. She
is a very inspiring woman who manages to find balance in
the chaos and would do tons of good for any brand she
works with. All the best!”
§ Moumita Sarkar: Marketing Manager at Fortis
Healthcare -
“Monica is a true professional who believes deeply in
delivering excellence. She helped us to develop an
advanced E-commerce website, and she has been a reliable
partner for our Marketing needs. It's been absolutely
fantastic working with her. She is extremely creative with
full of skills and knowledge in this field and understands
clients' requirements very easily. I respect her immensely as
a versatile professional with an impeccable value
system.”

players ready to invest in building infrastructure-wise top-
notch sports arenas equipped with advanced modern
facilities and a perfect infra-developing partner.
Rayzon Global, a dream of Founder and CEO Vivek
Parekh – a third-generation entrepreneur at his renowned
family-run business, National Plastic Industries Limited -
“Is at the forefront of India's Sports Infrastructure market,
leading the way with an innovative and cutting-edge
strategy,” says Vivek, adding, “We’re committed to
constructing world-class infrastructure that exceeds
expectations, with a deep dedication to quality and a love
for producing extraordinary athletic facilities.”
Fostering Best Sports Arenas
Rayzon Global is transforming the future of sports infra-
structure in India via smart collaborations and partnerships
with local and international entities, ensuring that players
and sports enthusiasts can access top-tier facilities that
inspire and improve their performance.
Vivek furthers that Rayzon Global is a sports infrastructure
company based in Mumbai. “Our goal is to give all sports
categories the best conditions to flourish by providing our
clients with key knowledge and expertise to address their
general and specific demands in this space,” he shares.
Within eight short years of starting this company, Rayzon
Global has already met the standards of established sports
infrastructure companies worldwide. Rayzon is fast
emerging as a pioneer in manufacturing and setting up
basketball, tennis courts, FIFA approved football turfs,
which are at par with global standards. The Polypropylene
(PP) tiles manufactured by the brand have gained popularity
quickly and have become the most popular outdoor
flooring. The high-quality Polypropylene utilized makes
them durable and sustainable.
The brand aims to become the one-stop shop and a
preferred solution provider for complete sports infrastruc-
ture requirements. Rayzon holds a strong reputation for
working with the most seasoned industry professionals.
Eight years since its inception, Rayzon has worked on over
300+ sites internationally and in India. Some of the
notable projects of the brand encompass the Graffiti
Basketball Courts at St. Andrews College in Bandra, Air
Canada in Matunga, Mumbai, the Hockey Rink in
Jammu and Kashmir, and .
Paddle Courts in Maldives
For the most opulent residential developments across the
country, Rayzon has built turf tennis courts and squash
courts in collaboration with renowned builders like Lodha,
Oberoi, and Kanakia.
Elevating the Playing Fields
Vivek adds, “Our USP would be our sophisticated and
proven A-Z turn-key solutions that save considerable time,
money and effort.” Rayzon’s cutting-edge solutions,
complete project management assurance and hassle-free
installation set it apart from other contractors and develop-
ers in this space. “Our ultimate goal is to become a one-
stop-shop and a preferred solutions provider for all sports
infrastructure requirements,” states Vivek, who acquired a
Master's Degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from
the University of Warwick after completing his undergradu-
ate at the University of Reading, UK. He founded Rayzon
with the intention of elevating sports infrastructure
facilities. He has developed turfs for sports like paddle,
squash, and pickleball that were not at the forefront. He
became aware of the gaps in the market and sought to
narrow them with the services provided by his brand,
Rayzon.
Reflecting on his inspiration behind venturing into the
sports infra-developing niche, Vivek says the outset of his
journey with Rayzon was quite organic. He recalls, “At an
exhibition, we got a pretty big order. So, we took a risk and
got into this space. We learnt everything from scratch and
never looked back.” The prospect of handling such a project
was exhilarating and taught him a lot. He mentions, “I
figured out that having key staff at different locations was
crucial to meeting our clients' needs and for our operations
to run smoothly.”
Eventually, he and his team created a strong network
nationwide, enabling them to scale their projects much
more easily. They also have an array of marquee sites that
people aspire to play on, which they would love to
do more of.

28. Vivek believes, “Having worked with a close team and
lakhs of people in the sports workspace, my only motiva-
tion to succeed in work comes from the desire to be
creative, entrepreneurial, ambitious, and to make a differ-
ence in every realm I operate in. Over the next five years,
we want to be No.1 Sports Infrastructure company in the
country.”
Advanced Techno-Boost
He also gravitates towards the rapidly evolving technology
field and always keeps up with it. At present, AI does not
play a significant role in the sports infrastructure space, and
Vivek says he has not heard of other companies benefiting
from it either. However, he does feel that in the future, it
could become a useful tool in the infrastructure industry in
general.
Telling more about Rayzon’s offerings, Vivek adds that
what makes them stand out is their ability to keep up with
new developments in sports and their specific requirements.
Their brand aims to deliver end-to-end sports infrastructure
facilities by providing A-Z turn-key solutions, which means
they handle all requirements, from flooring and lighting to
civil work, 3D virtual modelling, and the necessary
maintenance after installation as well. They strive to bridge
the gaps in the sports ecosystem and find more key
solutions to problems, big or small. He says, “My mission at
Rayzon has always been to develop one stadium in every
state in India, as I believe in the positive impact sports has
on the youth of India.”
Creating an Exceptional Sports Ecosystem
Considering the current industry scenario, Vivek shares that
because they aim to cover all sports, their biggest challenge
would be keeping up with all their specific requirements
and the regional considerations that come with dealing with
a vast territory like India. They have overcome this hurdle
by employing key personnel in different parts of the
country, thereby growing a strong network throughout,
enabling them to meet the various demands of their clients.
Rayzon has its own installation team, their own site
engineers and their own equipment as well. At Rayzon, they
have invested many resources into building a strong senior
management team and sales force that gives each project
the finesse needed in sports infrastructure in India. The
government now allocates a lot more money to sports
infrastructure, making it easier for people to carry out their
visions for sports.
Addressing Future’s Global Sports Infra Needs
In his advice, he says, “I would tell all the budding
entrepreneurs in the sports industry that India is a very
young country (with an average age of 28).” Most of them
engage in sports in some way, so the market is large, and
there is much to explore when it comes to providing
facilities, experimenting with various ideas and introducing
new concepts to the public. One exciting development is
seeing people use sports venues for social events, which
tells of the dynamism and high prospects of the sports
infrastructure space in the future.
On envisioning scaling Rayzon Global’s operations and
offerings in the future, Vivek divulges that the best way to
grow Rayzon would be to always work with top talent and
get the best teams together Pan-India. They have taken this
approach from the beginning, and it has proven reliable
time and time again. Maintaining this strong network keeps
their operations fluid, whereby their clients and potential
clients can get any assistance they need; they can view
Rayzon’s body of work and get a clearer idea of what the
team does, making it easy for them to trust Rayzon Global.
Attending exhibitions around the world is also key to
getting an understanding of technologies and products
being introduced to sports infrastructure. “This enables us
to differentiate ourselves from the rest and excel as a sports
infrastructure company in all possible ways,”
he concludes.
Rayzon Global, fast emerging
as a pioneer in
manufacturing and se ng up
basketball, tennis courts, and
FIFA-approved football turfs,
has worked on 300+ sites
interna onally and in India.
