12. Although online and digital
consumerism is a popular
trend now, that does not mean
people do not go shopping, dining, and
partying physically. Also, there is no
denying that digital consumerism
provides the utmost comfort, ease, and
convenience apart from safety and
security; what it lacks are a physical
experience and a personal feel. This is
where the retail network of shopping
malls, retail chains, restaurants, etc.,
comes into play.
These ambient, happening, and vibrant
places guarantee customers a seamless,
comfortable physical experience with a
smooth and convenient personal
appeal. Before the inception of ideas 4
Transformation (i4T)–a trusted
technology Services and Solutions
partner–all these retail brands, chains,
network stores, restaurants, shopping
malls, hypermarkets, etc., have had no
substantial methods of receiving tailor-
made IT support models.
Brands were also unable to evaluate
the usage of their network stores, nor
they had any way to review whether
the store was offering the right mix that
is attractive to the local demographics.
Many large retail business brands have
considered various retail tech solutions
to ensure that no resources are wasted
and no opportunities are missed, but
with the advent of i4T six years
back—ultimately—these brands,
Burger King, Metro Brands, KFC,
Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Dominos,
Subway, Tim Hortons, YUM,
Shoppers Stop, Barbeque Nation,
Absolute Barbeque, Haldiram’s,
Mr Rajesh Saboo is
a firm believer in
simplicity and
speed in all spheres
of life and is an
eternal optimist.
13. Crosswords, Vishal Mega Mart, and
many more, chose i4T’s as their
preferred choice for Smart Retail
Solutions like People Counting, Video
Analytics, Mobility and for IT
Management/Infrastructure Services,
and all the myriad of futuristic
solutions due to the multitude of
features a single platform includes.
At the helm of i4T is Mr Rajesh
Saboo, its Founder and CEO, who
shares, “Our focus has been to provide
solutions for the large retail businesses
that have got pan-India presence.”
A Futuristic Leadership Acumen—
Rajesh is an industry veteran and has
been influencing Business
Transformation, Innovative
Technology Solutions adoption, and
Change Management agents in leading
corporate houses like Future Group,
Raymond Limited, Ashok Piramal
Group, Aditya Birla Group and Wadia
Group.
Rajesh says, “I spent almost 28 years
in the corporate working with these big
companies and organizations. Out of
my total experience last 20 years, I was
in leadership positions and was part of
transformation initiatives of Future
Group, Raymond Ltd etc.”
Before starting i4T, Rajesh was part of
the Senior Management Team of
Future Group, working as Sr. Vice
President – of IT Services, responsible
for the Technology and
Communication needs of the entire
group for Retail and Supply Chain. He
was also part of the leadership team of
a strategic way forward.
He has an enriching 34+ years of the
overall experience, out of which 28
years of Industry exposure in
Information Technology, Retail,
Manufacturing, Supply Chain,
Logistics and Business Services and
almost now six years as a successful
leader of i4T.
Rajesh mentions, “During my time with
the corporate while speaking with
biggest vendors; I realized that
although these vendors have more
margins, there was a visibly vast
disconnect between what they were
selling and what the buyers actually
demanded.”
Rajesh informs, “So, I thought using
my huge experience to address this
disconnect. I must form a versatile
technology Solutions and Services
organization that specializes in
domains such as retail, malls,
warehouses, QSR, and smart
buildings.”
Established around these core areas of
expertise, i4T’s portfolio of services
includes Consulting, Software
development and implementation, and
IT Managed Services, Technical
Service Desk, IT Program
Management, etc. Each service i4T
provide is unique because it is
customized and optimized perfectly to
target solution to initiate, implement
and expedite business needs to reality.
Rajesh adds, “Our business philosophy
is molded by the belief that in today’s
dynamic and ever-evolving world, a
simple combination of services cannot
possibly satisfy your business’s unique
needs. We differentiate ourselves by
ensuring that our combinations of
services result in cutting-edge solutions
that contribute towards helping your
business needs and creating sustainable
businesses.”
Rajesh has won many industry awards
and accolades for Transformation
initiatives leading to Business
transformation, cost optimization,
business operation effectiveness and
technology innovation from
independent houses like IDG, IDC
and CORE. He is a firm believer in
simplicity and speed in all spheres of
life and is an eternal optimist.
Eternal Optimism of Speed and
Simplicity
The Most Promising BIM Service Provider To Watch-2022
14. Recollecting their initial days, Rajesh
shares that they began their journey in
a 1BHK office situated in a small
residential complex of Thane, with a
team who used to do everything multi-
tasking from operations, finance, MIS,
and customer care, to HR, IT, and
admin just like a startup.
“One thing which I was very sure as I
continue to cherish is to build an i4T
brand with a strong recall value for the
customers with its key USPs of speed
and simplicity,” with speed Rajesh
means that anything they do, they want
to do it in a much shorter time than
probably what other vendors or service
providers could do it.
“At the same time, there is a strong
belief in our organization that every
problem has a simple solution,” says
Rajesh adding that when you do not
understand a problem properly, you try
solving it in a complicated fashion. At
any point in time, none of the
customers would accept it. Even if the
management buys your complicated
solution, it will fail in the
implementation because end-users are
not that technical or tech-savvy.
“This USP of simplicity is what we
believe in, which I strongly followed
when I was a part of the Future Group
and Mr Kishor Biyani, my mentor,
always talked about these two things.
And this is how we're doing it, and it
has been helping us to create a
differentiator for our organization with
all our customers purchasing from us,”
reveals Rajesh.
When a typical IT Managed Services
transitions from one vendor to another,
a big vendor generally used to take 90
Presently, i4T
offers Services
and Solutions to
5,000 different
large and
medium retail
businesses across
300+ cities.
15. days for transition, so the customer has
to pay an additional cost for 90 days
because they have to register with the
new vendor while discontinuing the
current vendor.
“However, we take pride in some of
the biggest transitions to the tune of
500 stores, 800 stores in less than 45
days. Our standard transition time is 30
days, and most of the time, we try not
to charge our customer or even if we
do, it is a very nominal change, and
this is our commitment,” says Rajesh,
adding that they have a firm belief in
their PMO–Project/Program
Management Office–consisting of
Program Managers, Business Analyst,
Technical team–a team which is eyes
and ears of the organization.
A Benchmark of Visibility and
Transparency
Rajesh says, “They create visibility of
what we do to the customers in a very
transparent level, and then they insist
and answer the customers’ calls daily.
And on a monthly and quarterly basis,
they give proper tech presentations and
ensure i4T creates a journey of
transformation with our customers.
Our objective is not to increase the
monetary value of our contract, but to
add value to our contract with what
we've done.”
For example, if it would take ten
people to give a contract X value,
maybe ten people can do more services
in the same contract value with a
limited increase in cost. So, per
resource cost will come down. Rajesh
explains, “If 100 stores are giving 100
rupees, then additional ten stores can
add two rupees to our contract.” So,
i4T is taking an increased number of
stores of 10% percent in addition to the
cost of 2% of its contract value for the
customers.
He feels, “That is our belief to never
run after the customer and have lots of
customers. We believe that we will
have fewer customers but happy
customers and try to give them
multiple services/Solutions under one
umbrella like IT Managed Services,
New store opening services and
Remote Support Services (Technical
Services Desk) from the backend,
Projects: Application Migration and
Asset Management. etc., so the
customer’s management cost comes
down. That way, multiple services to
lesser customers, to add more
value.”
A Smart Evolution in Retail
Management
Presently, i4T has its own presence in
70+ cities supporting in 300 plus cities.
i4T steadily has built a happy customer
base. Instead of offering solutions like
traditional players, i4T offers a tech-
integrated platform which offers
personalized, specialized solutions to
its clients with retail store chains
spread over the country. Every client
has its own dashboard integrated with
people counter, billing counter, video-
analytics tools, and AI-ML integrated
solutions so that the retail businesses
will have a clear picture of their end-
users and can serve them more
efficiently in the future.
Rajesh elaborates, “We have brought a
smart evolution in retail management
like we offer solutions per the
customer’s needs and budget. Suppose
a retail business has 500 stores with a
fixed cost per store, so we offer a
solution spread across these 500 stores
and then pinpoint regularly stores with
a higher number of issues and bring in
visibility. This guides our customers on
their re-modelling structure like for
their payment, what kind of services
they are getting, etc.”
In terms of modern technology
adoption, Rajesh gives various
examples of i4T’s video analytics
solution in which CCTV footage,
algorithmic data, and high-resolution
16. data are collected, analyzed, and
compared to provide a clearer picture
to restaurants, retail businesses, and
billing counters.
“We don’t develop AI and ML
integrated solutions, rather; we have
created a strong partner ecosystem
with FootfallCam™, Magic Mirror,
AIRSEC™, Posi Flex, AI company
and many other technology partners to
address and achieve the KPIs. Thanks
to our tech-integrated platforms, we are
working on cutting-edge technologies
to create our differentiator,” says
Rajesh adding, “They are also creating
a democratic culture for their
employees, workforce, CXO
community, and partners, where people
are their focus.”
Turning Challenges into
Opportunities
When probed about challenges, Rajesh
says that challenges are opportunities
for him and his team. Thus, if
constant workforce churn could be an
issue for other companies, he believes
once an employee has spent
considerable time in i4T, instead of
paying them a huge amount of salaries
which will affect their own operational
cost, they prefer the person leaving so
that they will get the opportunity to
hire fresh talent and ensure the cost of
services are also managed. However,
we ensure that a proper balance of
experience, trained and fresh talent is
maintained; we have tied up with some
technical institutes for our resourcing
needs and continue our focus on
workforce training in terms of
technology and customer service.
Another challenge is saying no to some
earlier peer group members for
onboarding them as customers because
as a retail solution provider i4T
concentrates more on fewer players
rather than having too many clients.
This is nice problem to have but to be
dealt with very carefully without
offending; that’s a challenge because,
with the exposure to the CXO Group in
my previous tenure, I need to keep
everybody happy but at the same time
don’t serve everyone and spoil the
quality of services.
Our further focus
is to create a
Tech-based IT
Service model for
businesses like
OLA and Uber.
17. “We are typical not vendors who will
come and sell what they want to sell.
We try to understand the problem of
CXO community. That's our aim which
we are trying to achieve,” expresses
Rajesh.
Fostering A Network of Champions
Being an experienced leader, Rajesh
says there is a huge gap between the
Business/users’ expectations and what
is provided in the IT products service
industry. Only coming of freshers with
fancy college degrees from IITs and
IIMs and starting their startups, out of
which most of them go out of business
in five to ten years, is not sustainable.
Instead coming of mature people with
10-20 years of experience and
expertise behind them, giving the best
quality service is the need of the hour.
Further, there is a need to create a
common platform for like-minded
Retail IT industry veterans who want
to provide the right products, solutions
and quality services to Mid and large-
size PAN India retail businesses.
Thus, Rajesh’s advice for the budding
aspirants is, along with solving smaller
issues and problems and giving
solutions to many, they must
concentrate on creating an ecosystem
which will integrate multifunction
solutions and bring everybody on a
broad single platform. It’s a dream and
desire to be fulfilled.
i4T’s Pan-India Web of Partners
Presently, i4T supports 5,000 different
sorts of retail businesses across 300+
cities. And it has its engineers in 70-
odd cities who are 100% on the
company’s payroll, so they enjoy all
the benefits as regular employees.
Rajesh conveys, “We don't believe in
having an outsourcing model that we
tie up with some franchisees, small
partners locally. Wherever we find the
right talent, we engage with them
directly; then we hire them; we train
them technically. We have a proper
mechanism of managing and
monitoring them.”
That's how Rajesh and his Leadership
team are building the organization, and
their focus is to increase their footprint
all over India, reaching tier 3 and tier 4
towns this year; they want to expand
their support to 11,000 plus retail
stores. From 300 plus employee, they
want to expand to 500 by
December.22.
i4T vision of 11000 Stores, 1100 Cities
and 1100 Team members with 11
Support offices is the key focus in a
couple of years.
Creating a Robust Back-End
Support System
To provide services to 11K+ stores,
there needed a strong back-end
ecosystem created by i4T in the form
of a fully functional 24×7×365
Technical Service Desks network. And
Rajesh wants to expand this network of
Remote Managed Service businesses
with high availability form multiple
cities currently operational in Delhi
and Bengaluru. According to Rajesh,
this is a significant change for two
primary reasons: The first one is cost-
effectiveness and the second one is the
speed of Support.
“Both will complement each other to
have a better experience and faster
resolutions for their problems,” says
Rajesh giving the example of the
feeling ten years ago when people felt
that due to the coming of online retail
businesses and eCommerce players,
physical stores would go out of
fashion. However, today, all
eCommerce players have their online
and offline stores. In the same way,
Rajesh says that Remote Support
Services and physical Field Support
Care can both complement each other
to give better satisfaction to the
customer.
Ensuring a Data-Driven Future
“Our next big focus is to create the
technical support ecosystem making it
more effective. Another thing is that
today we have abundant retail data
with us. We know what is happening
across pan-India, across various
formats, restaurants, retail businesses,
etc. I want to create an ecosystem
where we will have insights about this
data and start focusing on what’s next
for the industry,” states Rajesh.
Currently, most people go for these
paid services; they do some research,
send some people who collect some
sample data, then they extrapolate that
data, analysis, and then they come to
trends, what is going to happen.
Rajesh’s take on this is to use whatever
data, analysis, and insights available
and help the industry in its working to
have more data-driven decisions rather
than one-time data-based decisions.
E.g., understanding demographics and
customer segmentation to decide where
should a restaurant location be situated
that would drive revenue for it.
“Data-driven decision making is an
offshoot of this business, which is I am
doing, that we will want to focus on.
Our further focus is to create a tech-
based service model for businesses like
OLA, Ubers, book and pay services.
Also, we want to reach the aspiring
population of India, which is in smaller
cities and towns,” concludes Rajesh.
22. How the BIM
is shaping up the
Modern
Real Estate
Horizons
23. Dynamic Edge
nknown to many the construction industry is subject to numerous challenges. The industry has a
Udearth of a rightly-skilled workforce, a sluggish pace, and complexities with collaboration in
project management. The technological advancements that have emerged in streamlining the entire
business model of the real estate industry and have greatly contributed to in addressing the toughest of the
challenges. One of these transforming technologies is Building Information Modelling (BIM).
The latest technology of BIM is a comprehensive process of 3D modelling that offers professionals of the
construction industry with data management, operational insights and smart tools to draft, plan, design,
organize, monitor and construct their projects. Crediting the BIM methodology, all responsible people on a
project including the partners— can easily collaborate and witness the operational status throughout all the
stages of a project lifecycle. By using the BIM system, building organizations have access to a highly
detailed digital representation of their projects.
The BIM structure includes numerous key insights going far beyond 3D visual architecture. As we look
deeper into the BIM anatomy, real estate professionals can use BIM to see how the materials will endure
time-based challenges, then in the cost estimation process and also help in performance prediction. The
technology ensures all information is processed in a centralized framework and updated in real-time, as a
24. result offering easy access to reliable data. Building
industry professionals can synchronize BIM with other
technologies to further amplify its efficacy and its direct
benefits to the construction process. The other technologies
which are seamlessly amalgamated with BIM are Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing,
Augmented Reality(AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Robotics,
etc.
High-Quality Structures
The advantage of BIM in pairing with other technologies
like AR/VR offer the ability to easily test the structural
design. It aids with spatial planning, verifying indoor
lighting designs, validating emergency routing, etc. In this
way, BIM showcases an additional feature of verification
enabling the project owners to ensure the quality of the
project. The VR feature offers the beautiful feature of
providing walk-through presentations contributing project
image upliftment. For example, Hegias developed its smart
VR content management systems that enable building
companies, real estate developers and architects in
developing virtual property presentations for client
presentations.
Enhanced Client Satisfaction
Customers these days are looking for different, unique and
new aspects in the properties they are searching. The BIM
system offers amazing visual presentations and supporting
features that equip the construction professionals in
providing dynamic virtual tours, dynamic presentations and
interactive elements that engage the customers seamlessly
through the virtual assisting system. All these elevate the
project perception in the customer’s mind and begin the
brand loyalty process from there itself. The internal
assisting system helps the sales and service teams in
customer management through data compilation, processing
and management, lead management, follow-up tools and
many more features that help them in harnessing client
satisfaction.
Risk Mitigation through Reduced Costs
Recent industry surveys have revealed that construction
industry professionals have benefited to the tune of 60%
through BIM applications. Cost ascertainment has been
complex, time-taking and the error-prone area has been
enhanced with the BIM system. The BIM has helped in
optimizing the process, and the close-knit integration has
enabled updating the price modifications, and design
changes directly into the project budget. The cost prediction
is more accurate helping the planners and leaders in better
project planning and cost estimation. BIM has contributed
to minimizing the expenses and also reducing the unwanted
waste generation on the site.
Rapid Project Delivery
One research revealed that the implementation of BIM has
accelerated the construction process and fastened the
delivery process by approximately 50% of the time frame.
Now a clear fact is that the BIM system seamlessly
automates several aspects of the design process saving time
and offering enhanced results further. The system evaluates
the work process and detects possible errors or clashes in
operations due to various coinciding decisions taken on
separate levels and different time stages. This helps in
eliminating the possible delay caused in rectification,
reworking and reorganizing the already scheduled resources
that are huge in their volumes and impact.
Better Sustainability
The objectives of Green Buildings, planning and
implementing eco-friendly measures, can be easily
seamlessly and swiftly expedited through the BIM
applications. The system develops the planning order in
such a manner that all the stages include the Green Building
aspects properly integrated without affecting the process,
cost or other operational factors. The project statistics and
analysis portray useful value-based details in defining the
Green Compliance of the project. The integrated analysis
and validation tools provide and define the material and
efforts in reducing the carbon impact through the entire
construction process.
Progressing Towards Dynamic Developments
The construction industry is now getting organized through
modern technological advancements like BIM applications.
However, a lot of awareness and process training is required
for its effective implementation and development of
important BIM professionals who can boost the
construction segment further in developing meaningful and
feasible projects. It certainly has developed a major
foundation for efficient and profitable real estate ventures.

and other parties. It helps teams to make well-informed
decisions faster, thereby achieving more effective and
efficient design than if BIM had not been used.
Jigar reveals, “Our use of BIM helps owners make decisions
earlier in the design phase of the project. This allows, for
example, the MEP engineer to right-size the equipment.”
BIM can also be used for clash detection and to eliminate
spatial conflicts, such as areas where the electrical and
HVAC designs call for equipment to occupy the same
space.
Faster Response to Design Changes
Through the time efficiencies achieved with BIM, we can
reduce energy use and cost. BIM helps reduce material
waste during construction and building management, and it
can eventually assist in sustainable demolition. Energy
modelling using BIM can also minimize energy
consumption over a building’s life.

30. Comprehensive Qualities of
BIM leaders
in the Modern Building
and Construction World.
echnological advancements have transformed
Tnumerous industrial sectors by revamping the
complete process thereby boosting efficiency,
saving time, cost, and effort, and maximizing the
scalability of the operational process. Similarly,
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been one of
the prominent aspects in the transformation of the
construction and real estate industry.
The BIM has brought about a huge positive
transformation, making the typical construction
processes adept, controlled, and extremely efficient.
Looking into the complexities, variable working
conditions and frequently changing parameters, the BIM
system brings all the processes into one single
centralized loop thereby offering excellent control over
the operations and maximizing work efficiency. The
developers will now identify the logical time required in
the process and extract accurate projections for the
project timelines.
The construction industry has been boosted by the solid
support of the BIM service providers enabling them in
leaping ahead in successful project management.
Let’s look into some of the interesting qualities of the
BIM leaders who have been instrumental in driving
impressive change in project planning, execution, and
analysis.
Excellent Subject Knowhow
Regarded as one of the primary qualities, a leader needs
to have an in-depth knowledge of the BIM functioning
with around five years of rich BIM project management

32. experience. The leader should be adept with the latest
software technologies, the ability to upgrade to the latest
versions, and the research-based approach required. Sound
knowledge of feature-rich software including Tekla,
Navisworks, ArchiCAD, Revit, AutoCAD, etc. They should
be quick in understanding and implementing design
changes in structural and/or architectural designs and
changes in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing)
calculations.
Training and Coaching Potential
The process of implementation of BIM in construction
companies and architectural firms impacts the overall
budget and costs of the organization. Subsequently, the
need for BIM leaders arises for setting up of the company
work culture, training the staff, and management for the
BIM services, process coordination and developing the
virtual architecture of the BIM system. The leaders train the
team with the right technological applications, and essential
business skills also. The BIM leaders are versatile
professionals who can teach and prepare the employees for
several project management and cost-saving ideas that
enhance project efficiency.
Time Management Skills
With the awareness that the BIM is a deep ocean, there is a
lot that can be explored and derived as the work progresses,
the BIM leaders dedicate approximately 30% of their time
for research new developments, technologies, and
applications to update and enrich their implementation
capabilities. They live the BIM process with high
importance for time spent on different tasks. They have a
passion for improvements and focus on training and
development, quality checks, project productivity analysis,
meetings etc. The BIM Leader should have great organizing
skills and capabilities to get the BIM factor activated at all
levels of the organization for becoming successful.
Fabulous Interpersonal skills
One of the interesting and impressive traits noticed in BIM
leaders is their impeccable interpersonal skills. They are
aware that BIM is a collaborative work process that
requires communication, coordination, and a smooth
management approach. It includes resolving issues
amicably, mitigating tasks, and working together towards
the common goal. They play a vital role in creating a deep
understanding of other departments and nurturing a strong
team spirit that helps them initiate the project momentum
on their mutual coordination.
Inspiring Communication Skills
The hidden aspect of the BIM implementation lies in the
abilities of the leaders in imbibing communication and
negotiation skills. The corporate etiquettes when brought
into the work culture bring about a positive change in the
employees. The leaders are prompt, polite, responsible, and
active in their communication, be it verbal, written over
emails, chats, or in team meetings. BIM leaders are known
to have been focused on their communication and motivate
everyone with their language fluency, topic preparation, and
crystal-clear communication. It has been observed that the
impact of the BIM training brought in a big air of positivity
that nullified the attritions for the next couple of years.
Growth Accelerators
These and many more skills have been observed in BIM
leaders. The BIM leaders are not ordinary managers, but a
whole institution in themselves. This one-man team has led
thousands of employees to work together as well as learn
and develop themselves. Those companies who ponder
upon the thoughts of whether to hire a BIM manager or not,
should study and research the massive potential of the BIM
system, the phenomenal role of BIM leaders and the
massive transformation any organization undergoes in
implementing the BIM system. BIM leaders ensure
seamless project execution, perfect management, clear
communication, and progressive collaboration between
different teams thereby increasing the growth prospects of
the company.
