Empowering the valve manufacturing industry with
high-quality standards
T
he valve industry is
crucial for seamless
operations across
sectors such as power
generation, oil and gas,
water management,
and other industrial processes.
Valves are essential components
that regulate the flow of fluids or
gases within systems. At present,
they ensure efficient operations and
safety backed by the services of
ventures like GG Valves. The company
stands out for reflecting a pledge to
quality, innovation, and customer
satisfaction. We happened to get in
touch with the MD of the company,
Mr Sanjay Ranka, who explained how
they emerged as the industry leader
in terms of providing matchless
quality of industrial valves. We hope
this story will help you bag valuable
insights into the industry while
fuelling your entrepreneurial fervor
as you dive into Mr Ranka’s journey.
What motiv
ates them?
Under Sanjay Ranka’s stewardship, the
company is paving the path to be the leading
valve manufacturing company. The brand
is renowned for its working methodologies,
technological superiority, and human resource
capabilities. Moreover, the intrinsic vision is
to be one of the globally renowned companies
for manufacturing high quality valves. So far,
they are grabbing attention by their tech-driven

strive for their satisfaction.
COVER STORY
Sanjay Ranka
Managing Director
A journey of resilience and global recognition
GG Valves began its operations back in 1943 when a German technocrat named Gerhard
Gabriel established the brand GG in Mumbai, India and the factory was called Bomby Metal
& Alloys Manufacturing Co Pvt. Ltd.
The acronym “GG” is drawn from his name only showcasing the founder’s dedication to
quality and excellence. GG quickly escalated to prominence and became the leading valve
company in India under Gabriel’s thought leadership. It was renowned for superior quality
and precision engineering during those times.
In the 1970s, the Ranka family came in a partnership with Gerhard Gabriel. This collaboration
marked a new chapter in GG Valves’ history. However, after these successful collaborations,
many challenges arose in the form of labor disputes and market dynamics. This series of
events led to the closure of the Mumbai factory in the 1990s. It was a period of reflection and
strategic planning for the Ranka family.
After completing his education and gaining valuable international exposure, Mr. Ranka
spearheaded the revival of GG Valves in 1997 by establishing a base level factory in Udaipur
with a total strength of 16 people. The initial years were challenging as GG Valves faced
stiff competition from established players who had captured the market during GG Valves’
hiatus.
The organisation met many initial setbacks but it remained steadfast in its commitment to
quality and innovation. The factory GG Valves was put on Sale during the year 2003, however,
there were no buyers. Eventually, their perseverance paid off when it secured its first export
order to Dubai, followed by lucrative partnerships with European companies like Pauwels
Transformers. This collaboration opened doors to the global power sector market. Here, GG
Valves evolved as a promising player driven by its competitive pricing and uncompromising
quality standards that set it apart from competitors.
Through strategic participation in international exhibitions and consistent delivery of
superior products, GG Valves gained traction and expanded its clientele worldwide. Today,
GG Valves is a name that speaks reliability, precision, and unmatched quality in the power
sector. No doubt, it has solidified its position as a trusted industry player globally. In regards
to the above mentioned premise, GG Valves continues to evolve and thrive in the dynamic
landscape of the valve industry and is continuously leaving a lasting impact on the global
market.
In this journey filled with ups and downs, Mrs. Sejal Ranka’s support was instrumental in
enabling dedication and fostering growth as stated by Mr Ranka. He adds that his wife’s
consistent encouragement and partnership have contributed significantly to the achievements
and progress made by GG Valves.
The product portfolio
GG Valves has an extensive portfolio that includes Gate Valves, Ball Valves, Globe Valves,
Steam Valves, Butterfly Valves, and Cryogenic Valves. These valves are crafted in materials
such as Bronze, Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel and exemplify precision engineering and
durability. They are offering reliable flow control and shut-off capabilities across a wide range
of applications. The valves have the power to regulate fluid flow, withstand high-pressure
steam or operate in cryogenic environments. All the products are designed to meet the
stringent requirements of diverse industries that serve as the backbone to ensuring optimal
performance, safety, and longevity.
Ventures under their purview
GG Valves has three Sister Companies that are into various segments. All of the companies
are ISO 9000 certified companies. A brief overview of all the ventures has been enlisted below:

1. Translloy India Pvt. Ltd.: Specializing in the recycling of Non-Ferrous material and Foundry operations, Translloy
India Pvt. Ltd. plays a crucial role in sustainable resource management and the production of high-quality metal alloys.
2. Khetaji Dhanaji and Co: This venture operates as a trading company, leveraging its expertise in sourcing, distribution,
and logistics to facilitate smooth transactions and supply chains across multiple industries.
3. Western Drugs Ltd.: Focused on the pharmaceutical sector, Western Drugs Ltd. boasts a strong global presence with
95% of its products exported worldwide.
The USPs
Mr Ranka elaborated on the company’s unique selling propositions (USPs) in talks with us. He said the organization
greatly focuses on quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction. At present, it has an expansive global presence across
40 countries including prominent markets like Europe, the USA, South America, the Middle East, Indonesia, Russia,
Iran, and Dubai. Today, they take immense pride in delivering unparalleled quality and consistency in their valve
products.
Despite the competitive landscape with numerous valve manufacturers in India, GG Valves stands out by
maintaining premium pricing for its products, reflecting a 25% to 30% markup compared to competitors.
However, this premium pricing hasn’t deterred leading OEMs in India such as Siemens, Hitachi, Toshiba,
Prime, TELK, T& R and many more from choosing GG Valves due to its unmatched consistency and
quality standards.
Mr. Ranka emphasized GG Valves’ commitment to meeting customer requirements promptly, especially in the dynamic
power sector where adaptability and customization are crucial. GG Valves remains agile in accommodating even minor
adjustments to its products to align with client specifications, ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty.
In terms of quality assurance, GG Valves boasts an impressively low rejection rate of less than 0.01% annually. This
translates to just one rejection or complaint for every 10,000 valves delivered globally, a testament to GG Valves’ stringent
quality control measures and meticulous attention to detail. Despite the challenges of operating in a labor-intensive
industry, GG Valves has managed to maintain exceptionally high-quality standards, earning trust and recognition from
clients worldwide.
A standout leadership
philosophy
Mr. Ranka’s leadership style is characterized
by a well-thought balance between hands-
on involvement and empowering autonomy
within his team. In the early stages of GG
Valves’ renewed growth, Mr. Ranka supervised
multiple departments with his commercial
background to comprehensive understanding
of the company’s operations. Despite
initially lacking engineering experience, Mr.
Ranka proactively engaged in learning and
familiarizing himself with technical aspects
crucial to the valve manufacturing industry.
With the expansion and evolution of GG
Valves, Mr. Ranka realized the role of
delegating authority and fostering a culture
of responsibility and autonomy within each
department. Hence, he ensured departments
to function independently, with full autonomy
to make decisions aligned with the company’s
objectives. This approach enabled departments
such as quality control, production, accounts,
and marketing to operate efficiently, with the
freedom to innovate and execute strategies
without constant interference.
Mr. Ranka’s philosophy
centers on providing
guidance and support
while allowing his team
the freedom to execute
tasks in their own way. He
believes that empowering
employees with authority
leads to a more proactive
and agile workforce,
capable of driving
growth and innovation.
By relinquishing
micromanagement and
focusing on strategic
direction and growth
initiatives, Mr. Ranka
has steered GG Valves
towards consistent annual
growth rates of 15-20%, a
testament to his leadership
acumen and vision for the
company’s success.

What’s with the future ahead?
In terms of discussing the futuristic vision for GG Valves,
Mr Ranka has prepared a strategic roadmap towards
diversification and expansion beyond the power sector.
They are aiming to ensure sustained and substantial growth.
And for this, the leadership takes major steps ahead making
bold initiatives. They have recruited a seasoned professional
from the valve industry to spearhead the development of
an extensive product line catering to diverse sectors such as
oil and gas, sewage management, water distribution, and
petroleum transportation. This comprehensive range will
include carbon steel gate valves, globe valves, check valves,
and butterfly valves, totaling 125 distinct products. The range
will vary in size and capacity, ranging from 50 kg valves to
5,000 kg single valves from size DN50 to DN2000.
This ambitious project entails significant investment and
dedicated effort. However, Mr. Ranka believes that successful
execution will secure GG Valves’ growth trajectory for the
next decade or more. This well-thought pivot is the company’s
persistent commitment to innovation, market expansion, and
long-term sustainability. No doubt, they are one of the most
promising players in the valve manufacturing industry in the
present day.
The laurels
We have compiled the list of all the awards and achievements
bagged by the company since its resurgence in the market.

establishment of an internal SOP to improve
the health of the employees. In this regular
health checkups are done be it blood tests,
eye tests, ultrasounds, CT Scans, and other
major assessments. Also, they also offer basic
accident precaution kits to the employees.
Basic skill development training is given to
every team member to help their corporate
growth. However, Red Cross training is
given to a few seniors to attend emergencies
in the factory.
Their fire management team is not only
authorized but also certified by the Rajasthan
authorities. This portrays GG Valves pledge
to adhering to stringent standards and
ensuring the highest level of safety and
compliance in fire management practices.
The CSR alignments
When asked to share their enthusiasm for CSR being
such a globally acknowledged venture, Mr Ranka
makes it certain that regular donations are performed
to several hospitals across the state of Rajasthan. Also,
they have financially supported some underprivileged
children to help them pursue their education. They are
active donors to NGOs who are focused on treating
children with life- threatening ailments. Though many
CSR activities ensured by GG Valves are not meant for
disclosing in the writeup but are worth many praises.
THE PARTING WORDS BY THE LUMINARY
“In order to hit the bull’s eye, you don’t get distracted
and never tell yourself you need to be the biggest brand
in the world. Start working on what needs to be done
at the present time and set manageable targets for
yourself. For entrepreneurs, it is of utmost importance
to search for the people who are not afraid of failures as
such individuals are said to be the most successful ones.
Hence, entrepreneurs should find and hire them to lead
the ventures higher aloft.”

In an era where sedentary lifestyles are becoming the norm and fitness
is taking center stage, Welcare emerges as a beacon of wellness, catering
to the evolving needs of health-conscious individuals. Established in
1996 by Mr. Mahesh Chellapan and his partner, Welcare has traversed
a remarkable journey, transforming from a humble beginning to a
renowned fitness equipment brand with a nationwide presence.

in-house team with a robust dealership

organizations, leaders are seen living their culture every
day and go out of the way to communicate their cultural
identities to employees and prospective new hires. There
is always a clear vision about values and how will those
values be defining their companies and determination on
how the companies run.
FACTORS SHAPING COMPANY’S CULTURE
Every company has their own different cultures that are
followed, where some are well-known for their unique
and rare one. Most of the people in a company strive to
be team-oriented and to demonstrate concern for one
another. People are more focused on being driven rather
than relaxed because there is a lot of competition for market
share. A company’s culture is characterized by its values,
task orientation, organizational subcultures etc.
HOW TO CREATE AND MANAGE COMPANY CULTURE
The culture at a company keeps on emerging over time with
being shaped by the company’s leadership and by actions
and values that should be perceived to have contributed
in an early stage of success. The culture followed in an
organization can be managed through the awareness
regarding culture and organizational leaders. In order to
manage a culture, it takes a lot of efforts to sustain cultural
elements that helps in supporting the effectiveness of an
organization.

few general ways of doing things are the customs of an
organization, which one watches out while walking into the
company. Culture is something that emerges naturally in
an organization, it is really very important to keep up the
desired culture alive in the company.

one needs to make good stories to keep up the soul of the
company alive. There are stories of your company that
circulates between your new employees as well as clients,
all that is to be done is to maintain and live by your values
each day. An organization must maintain consistency in its
cultural message that will influence the team around you in
a positive manner.
A significant role is being played by the HR of the company in perpetuating a strong
culture by starting with the initial stage of recruiting and selection of applicants
who will be sharing the beliefs of the company and will be seen thriving in that
culture. Orientations are also being developed by the HR, where programs such as
training & performance management are done that will outline and help in reinforcing

R
eal estate investment is one of the most lucrative and
profitable investments due to its high return rate and
benefits. If you’re an entrepreneur who hasn’t tried
real estate investment yet, here are some reasons why
you should consider it. When it comes to real estate
investment decisions, an entrepreneur should be ambitious,
creative, and able to make fast decisions.
By 2030, India’s real estate market is forecast to hit a value of
US $1 trillion. Fractional ownership is a relatively new idea
in the Indian real estate market that provides a uniquely safe
and stable investment opportunity with long-term income
and guaranteed monthly cash flow.
With various investment reasons, real estate investment has
the potential to achieve long and short-term business perfor-
mance. When an entrepreneur invests in the real estate mar-
ket or the property industry, he/she may gain access to a va-
riety of advantages and benefits.
Aside from the other types of businesses, investors could
benefit from a consistent additional income that could aid his
company reach financial independence. Only a well-thought-
out real estate market strategy, business plan, and investor
objectives will result in optimal real estate outcomes.
The Advantages of Investing in Real Estate are:
1 Profitable and High-returning Investment
If you choose the right real estate investment, you can relax
knowing that your future is safe. One of the many advantages
of real estate is the high return and profit. In terms of gener-
ating a high profit or return in a short period, your real estate
investment decision may be one of the best of your life. You
can make money from your real estate investment by renting
it out, purchasing or selling it, or using it as a buffer against
inflation. Your passive income or cash flow is converted into a
profitable benefit or return by real estate investment.
2 Consistent Earnings
Real estate investment is much safer and more liquid than the
stock exchange or import-export investments. Other market
assets experience constant volatility, but real estate does not;
its values fluctuate once every 7 to 10 years. In comparison
to other investments, only real estate investment provides a
steady income. Real estate investment is similar to a high-pro-
file career, but with the added benefit of a desired salary or
revenue. You would be able to earn a fixed return as well as a
high profit if you invest your money in the real estate market
or other forms of real estate. If you invest in rental properties,
you will be able to earn a predictable monthly profit without
having to be actively involved. Since real estate market values
differ from one place to the next or from one country to the
next, benefits and income are directly linked to the real es-
tate market. Other variables have no direct impact on the real
estate market, so keep in mind that this investment is more
stable and secure than others.
3 The Value of the Assets Grows Exponentially
As there are many different types of real estate properties,
there are many different types of real estate investments. In-
vestors may make a lot of money from these real estate assets
or investment forms because the value of real estate assets
rises over time. If you own rental land, rents rise daily due
to the rising demand for available amenities due to the high
rate of inflation.
If you have an asset for sale, such as a home, its value increas-
es over time, allowing you to make a large profit. If the cost of
the building rises day by day, the return rate rises as well. The
value raises as a result of the high investment in these proper-
ties as well as the additional maintenance expenses.
“Chennai based real estate platform findbhk.com predicts
that the demand for plots in Chennai and other metro cit-
ies like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune will see an uptick
compared to dwelling / commercial units in a post pandemic
world. Choosing this particular real estate product for invest-
ment will give a better yields in a shorter span of time.”
4 It provides a variety of investment options
In comparison to other economies, the real estate industry
is enormous. It provides investors with a variety of versatile
investment opportunities based on their interests or calibre.
You could easily invest in rental real estate if you want to run
a business in that sector. If you are interested in starting a
commercial or residential real estate company, it will provide
you with a variety of tools and guidance. You can invest your
money in your preferred real estate sector and benefit hand-
somely without the intervention of a third party.
Real estate’s versatility also
allows you to demonstrate
expert skills and develop
your portfolio over time.
You can put your profit
from your real estate com-
pany aside and put it into
another real estate project
for a higher profit and re-
turn. You can recruit staff
to help the company’s im-
age and promotions on a
larger scale. Other assets
have a cap in terms of prof-
it or reach, while real estate
receiving, scope, and profit
are unlimited.
5 Benefits of Depreciation
in Taxes
One of the main advantag-
es of real estate investment
is the tax gain that you get
over depreciation. Since
every real estate investor
understands the value of
their property ventures
and how they develop
their profits over time, they
want to make more and
more money from them.
When investors’ projects
are rented, they will bene-
fit. Depreciation on leased
land or projects will help
you avoid paying addition-
al taxes.
Final Words
The advantages of real
estate investing are
immense. Recently, the
Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI)
has approved the Real
Estate Investment Trust
(REIT) platform, allow-
ing all types of investors
to participate in the In-
dian real estate market.
Real estate is a thriving
industry with plenty
of prospects for new
Start-ups businesses as
well. To begin investing
in real estate, you don’t
need a lot of money.

The ‘crisis- of- the- era’ unveiled the frailty of the healthcare systems across the world. And recognizing these loopholes, many ventures made a
debut to be substantive to this industry, but only a few were able to make a substantive impression.
This edition presents you an inside
story of Accura Biomedical that has flagged its name in the respective space with an extraordinary product line.
With the motive to bridge the gaps in the fragile healthcare
delivery models, Accura Biomedical has forayed into the
space proposing exemplary products and services. The
company was designated with a vision to be the best one-
stop solution provider of medical accessories and supplies
that can satisfy the clients with best-in-class offerings all
over South India. Making its unequalled presence felt in the
industry, Accura has successfully attained the reputation of
being very first absolute biomedical accessories company
in the entire state of Kerala with majorly reputed hospitals
under its parasol. As a result of their years of practising some
extraordinary marketing strategies, they have been bestowed
with the trust of over 500+ hospitals and collaborated with
them accordingly.
BUSINESS PORTFOLIO AT A GLANCE
Accura majorly converges on Biomedical Accessories that are
commonly utilized in the formulation of Medical Equipment.
For the past 8 years, they have managed to conduct their
operations effortlessly by offering unfaltering customer
support to their adored clientele. Their swiftness to respond
and on-time delivery have allowed them to ensure an
edge over their peers in a short period. Granting top-notch
products while imparting customer satisfaction has made
them a preferred choice for their clients in the industry. With
their sheer dedication to supply integrated high-quality,
reliable, and abiding product portfolio, they are leaping the
industrial space steadily.
When asked what makes them getting ahead with the same
zeal to make a difference, the CO-Founders elucidates, “There
are always the unfavourable circumstances in our life, but
what matters the most is to identify the loopholes and fill in
them accordingly.” Their commendable business acuity and
adept tactics have always granted them with a competitive
edge.
Moreover, Accura has also commenced a venture naming
- ACCURA MEDICHARTS in 2017. The firm deals with
Medical Grade Papers including ECG, TMT, CTG Paper, etc
and Operation Theatre Instruments.
UNVEILING THE INCEPTION STORY
A duo of insightful individuals acknowledged the thriving
opportunities in Biomedical Engineering while being the
alumni in the same college. Shibi Achenkunju and Anu
Rahuf are the brains behind the Accura Biomedical Solutions.
After attaining BE in Biomedical Engineering in 2011, they
both envisioned being substantive to the medical industry.
This zeal fuelled when they got to know that Biomedical
Engineers in hospitals are in the dearth of medical equipment
and accessories. As the significance of such equipment in
saving a life is unimaginably crucial, they became impatient
to make these parts reach the patients as soon as possible.
Recognizing the golden opportunity to make a difference in
the industry while serving mankind, they incorporated their
very first brainchild that delivers imperative equipment to
the relevant hospitals and that too, in their early twenties.
As starting a business venture from scratch is no cakewalk at
all. Shibi and Rahuf’s entrepreneurial journey also had a fair
share of ups and downs. Earlier, their families were doubtful
about this idea, increasing their struggles. Surviving all the
odds, they sailed against the waves and begin thriving as
a reputed name in the respective industry. Gradually, they
impressed several big names as their clients in the healthcare
sector. Amidst the desperate times, both the partners
supported each other incessantly and carved a niche for
themselves with the determined zeal to hit the crescendo of
success.
AN EMPOWERING LEADERSHIP
As the frontrunners, Shibi and Rahuf always ensure to
maintain a cordial relation with their workforce. They
firmly believe it is a crucial element behind the company’s
exponential growth. Being the thought leaders, they always
consider the needs of their staff and enlighten them with
their significance in the development of the company. While
encouraging their teams to put on their dedicated efforts
without any irrelevant pressures, they always ensure an
optimistic and effortless workflow in the culture.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS
As businesses across the world were drastically disrupted due
to the global pandemic, Accura also witnessed turmoil from
various levels. Owing to multiple factors, the management
at Accura Biomedicals made a huge transformation in
the delivery model where they started the formulation of
‘necessary products’ such as N95 Mask, 3Ply masks, Infrared
Thermometers and Sanitizers. This quick turnaround
effectively allowed the rolling out of the considerable amount
of revenue even amidst the swirling storms of the ‘crisis like
no other’. Eventually, their swift adaptivity and business
resilience ensured them to be on the safer side in the midst
of prevailing chaos. Moreover, they also donated masks,
IR thermometers and sanitisers to welfare organization in
different area during the hard times.
CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS WITH A POSITIVE
OUTLOOK
According to the key persons, the positive attitude and
actions pave the way to optimistic workplace culture.
“Let them work comfortably and witness the result
that will eventually lead to exponential growth.
People won’t please someone who is seemingly
unpleasable, so being passionate about the work
that is being done in your organization is crucial.
When you are happy to be at work, your staff will
be happy to work for you and will be motivated to
keep the good vibes on,”
ASSERTS SHIBI
In the same notion, Rahuf exemplifies, “Be focused on making
sure that your employees are cordial with each other enhances
employee engagement and thus, resolve issues effortlessly.
Appreciate your staffs regularly to boost their confidence and
enhance their performances as no better performance booster
can substitute the sincere words of appreciation.”
GLIMPSES OF FUTURE OUTLOOKS
For the upcoming years, Accura has envisioned to expand its
ubiquity from South India to North India. In this regard, they
have speeded-up their marketing and planning programs
to expand their wings all over India as well as GCC. At
present, they have been importing the products from various
countries but soon, they endeavour to promote the ‘Make In
India’ drive, by developing their own products.
Accura Biomedical Solutions
Revamping the healthcare space with value-added services
Be impassioned for your work. Be there to a stage, where you are restless without into your business.
Don’t worry about what others may think or say about you. Don’t quit working even if you didn’t get much profit for the
first few months or even years. There will be a time when you can alter the next gear of your vehicle. Recognize that time and
get on the track. We believe that actions speak louder than the words. You have to fight hard to reach your dream.
Never Lose Hope. Get a reliable and friendly partner to conduct a business. Because there may be the times when you will
lose the hope, then he can get back you on the track.

COSMOS - SAHARA ELEVATORS
Sculpting The Urban Space With Environment
-Friendly Elevators
When we scale how innovations have re-designed our generation, it’s beyond measurements. In all corners and nooks, innovations
have modified our lifestyle – making it more comfortable. However, people’s convenience is ever-changing and one cannot deny the
tranquillity created by infrastructures. Nowadays, when we visit any shopping malls or corporate complexes, its vertical transporta-
tion system catches the eye. The turmoil of traversing long stairs is replaced, with escalators and elevators. Infrastures like this have
not only made our lives better, it has contributed to nationwide development too.
In India, Govt. as well as private-sector invest rich capital, in construc-
tion and development projects such as elevators, lifts, walkaways, etc.
not just in malls but in homes too. These infrastructures are evident
that India has shifted from its nascent stage and striving to become an
augmented nation. Nonetheless, the construction space is influenced,
by several factors, thus making it both dynamic as well as volatile.
Despite that, there are construction enterprises conferred for reliability
and quality of services. COSMOS Group is one such construction con-
glomerate known, for the manufacture of construction equipment and
aluminium work with 35 years of field experience.

India’s
DISAPPEAR
UNIQUE
LOCATIONS
YOU MUST VISIT
BEFORE THEY
India is rich with prominent
history, culture and nature and
doesn’t disappoint those who are
craving for some jaw-dropping
places. From north to south and
east to west you find great places
here to satisfy your wanderlust.
However, some of these great
places are on the verge of
disappearing. If you don’t plan to
see them soon, you will probably
miss them forever.
LET’S GET INFORMED ABOUT SUCH ENCHANTING BUT ENDANGERED PLACES
3. RamaSethu,
Rameshwaram
A group of limestone shoals
known as Rama Sethu
connects the Indian island
of Dhanushkodi with Sri
Lanka’s Mannar Island. It is
also referred to as Adam’s
Bridge According to legend,
Rama constructed the bridge
with the aid of his monkey
army. While it is still only
speculation, the sad fact is that
4. The largest river
island is Majuli, Assam
Majuli, which is located
in upper Assam, is one of
India’s most diversified
wildlife zones. This river
island is home to many
different species of birds
and animals, including
elephants, tigers, deer,
and rabbits. Tragically, the
island is getting smaller—
from 483 km to 421 km—
1. Rakhigarhi, Haryana
The biggest Indus Valley
Civilization, known as
Rakhigarhi, is situated in the
Ghaggar-Hakra River plain.
It has now developed into a
small village in Haryana. It
is 150 kilometres northwest
of Delhi and 27 kilometres
from the seasonal Ghaggar
River. There are 11 excavation
mounds there, numbered
RGR1 to RGR11. The
mounds RGR1 through RGR6 at Rakhigarhi, which has a total
size of 550 hectares, are used as homes. In Rakhigarhi, work is
now being done on the Indus Valley Civilization Museum. In
addition, Rakhigarhi is 60 kilometres from the Haryana Rural
Antique Museum. The lack of adequate protection for the site,
according to the research, exposes it to several hazards of loss
and destruction, including soil erosion, illicit sand lifting, artefact
theft, illegal sale, and encroachment by locals.
2. Taj Mahal, Agra
Tourists from all over the
world visit the Taj Mahal,
one of the seven wonders
of the world, and it could
be about to shut its doors
forever. Yes, it is right. The
spectacular monument often
sees 3 to 4 million visitors
enter through its doors, and
this enormous amount of
tourism is to blame for the
structure’s demise. The
maintenance staff of this
mausoleum claims that a number of things, including air
pollution, river pollution, and the rot of the wood supporting
the building, are harming this World Heritage Site. It is
anticipated that tourists won’t have more than four years to
see this incredible architectural marvel.
the government of India’s proposed Sethusamudram Shipping
Canal Project poses a serious danger to the continued survival of
this natural treasure.

According to certain studies, Majuli will be gone in 15 to 20
years if things continue as they are.

7. Wular Lake, Jammu &
Kashmir
One of the 46 wetlands
in India that have been
classified as Ramsar sites is
Wular Lake. It is also one
of Asia’s biggest freshwater
lakes. In Jammu and
Kashmir, it is situated in
the Bandipora district. The
seasonal area of Wular Lake
ranges from 30 to 189 square
kilometres. The majority of
locals in that area, as well
9. The majestic
Jaisalmer Fort in
Rajasthan
A prominent example
of a huge fortress is the
Jaisalmer Fort in Rajasthan.
In India, the Rajputs are
extremely proud of it. The
fort, which is a popular
tourist destination, has the
unusual characteristic that
numerous families still
reside there. The WMF has
added this 12th-century

Lakshadweep
One of India’s four coral
reef zones is Lakshadweep.
Tourists find the place to
be appealing thanks to the

6. Meghalaya’s
Balpakram Forest
The native Garo tribe resides
in Meghalaya’s Balpakram
National Park, which is in
the southern region of the
state. According to folklore,
this is the location where
the spirits of the deceased
repose. This location is a
haven for those who enjoy
nature and photography
because of the abundance of
beautiful foliage and fauna.
5. Shimla Civic Center,
Himachal Pradesh
The British were interested
in Shimla as a possible
summer retreat and built
a number of colonial-
style structures that gave
the town its distinctive
appearance. As the years
passed and the British
departed India, the colonial
hill town was destroyed
by unplanned urbanisation
due to lack of upkeep and
uncontrolled expansion. One of the four Indian structures
that are listed as being “at risk” by the World Monuments
Fund is the Civic Center.
However, the forest area is shrinking nearly daily as a result
of coal mines and water dams, which in the near future will
certainly pose a threat to the survival of all creatures in the
area.

The water body may become smaller or even disappear in
the future as a result of environmental hazards such as weed
infestation, animal waste contamination, hunting of migrating
birds, and conversion of catchment regions into agricultural
land.
8. Sunderbans, West
Bengal
The mangrove environment
of Sunderbans is regarded
as the biggest in the
world. In the Bay of
Bengal, the rivers Meghna,
Brahmaputra, and Ganges
combine to create it.
Sundarbans National
Park, Sundarbans West,
Sundarbans South, and
Sundarbans East Wildlife

UNESCO World Heritage Sites that make up this region. In

Empowering the valve manufacturing industry with high-quality standards T he valve industry is crucial for seamless operations across sectors such as power generation, oil and gas, water management, and other industrial processes. Valves are essential components that regulate the flow of fluids or gases within systems. At present, they ensure efficient operations and safety backed by the services of ventures like GG Valves. The company stands out for reflecting a pledge to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We happened to get in touch with the MD of the company, Mr Sanjay Ranka, who explained how they emerged as the industry leader in terms of providing matchless quality of industrial valves. We hope this story will help you bag valuable insights into the industry while fuelling your entrepreneurial fervor as you dive into Mr Ranka’s journey. What motiv ates them? Under Sanjay Ranka’s stewardship, the company is paving the path to be the leading valve manufacturing company. The brand is renowned for its working methodologies, technological superiority, and human resource capabilities. Moreover, the intrinsic vision is to be one of the globally renowned companies for manufacturing high quality valves. So far, they are grabbing attention by their tech-driven products and superior customer services that strive for their satisfaction. COVER STORY Sanjay Ranka Managing Director A journey of resilience and global recognition GG Valves began its operations back in 1943 when a German technocrat named Gerhard Gabriel established the brand GG in Mumbai, India and the factory was called Bomby Metal & Alloys Manufacturing Co Pvt. Ltd. The acronym “GG” is drawn from his name only showcasing the founder’s dedication to quality and excellence. GG quickly escalated to prominence and became the leading valve company in India under Gabriel’s thought leadership. It was renowned for superior quality and precision engineering during those times. In the 1970s, the Ranka family came in a partnership with Gerhard Gabriel. This collaboration marked a new chapter in GG Valves’ history. However, after these successful collaborations, many challenges arose in the form of labor disputes and market dynamics. This series of events led to the closure of the Mumbai factory in the 1990s. It was a period of reflection and strategic planning for the Ranka family. After completing his education and gaining valuable international exposure, Mr. Ranka spearheaded the revival of GG Valves in 1997 by establishing a base level factory in Udaipur with a total strength of 16 people. The initial years were challenging as GG Valves faced stiff competition from established players who had captured the market during GG Valves’ hiatus. The organisation met many initial setbacks but it remained steadfast in its commitment to quality and innovation. The factory GG Valves was put on Sale during the year 2003, however, there were no buyers. Eventually, their perseverance paid off when it secured its first export order to Dubai, followed by lucrative partnerships with European companies like Pauwels Transformers. This collaboration opened doors to the global power sector market. Here, GG Valves evolved as a promising player driven by its competitive pricing and uncompromising quality standards that set it apart from competitors. Through strategic participation in international exhibitions and consistent delivery of superior products, GG Valves gained traction and expanded its clientele worldwide. Today, GG Valves is a name that speaks reliability, precision, and unmatched quality in the power sector. No doubt, it has solidified its position as a trusted industry player globally. In regards to the above mentioned premise, GG Valves continues to evolve and thrive in the dynamic landscape of the valve industry and is continuously leaving a lasting impact on the global market.

  • 16. 31 www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 6 Special Edition May 2024 | INDIA www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 6 Special Edition May 2024 | INDIA 30 R eal estate investment is one of the most lucrative and profitable investments due to its high return rate and benefits. If you’re an entrepreneur who hasn’t tried real estate investment yet, here are some reasons why you should consider it. When it comes to real estate investment decisions, an entrepreneur should be ambitious, creative, and able to make fast decisions. By 2030, India’s real estate market is forecast to hit a value of US $1 trillion. Fractional ownership is a relatively new idea in the Indian real estate market that provides a uniquely safe and stable investment opportunity with long-term income and guaranteed monthly cash flow. With various investment reasons, real estate investment has the potential to achieve long and short-term business perfor- mance. When an entrepreneur invests in the real estate mar- ket or the property industry, he/she may gain access to a va- riety of advantages and benefits. Aside from the other types of businesses, investors could benefit from a consistent additional income that could aid his company reach financial independence. Only a well-thought- out real estate market strategy, business plan, and investor objectives will result in optimal real estate outcomes. The Advantages of Investing in Real Estate are: 1 Profitable and High-returning Investment If you choose the right real estate investment, you can relax knowing that your future is safe. One of the many advantages of real estate is the high return and profit. In terms of gener- ating a high profit or return in a short period, your real estate investment decision may be one of the best of your life. You can make money from your real estate investment by renting it out, purchasing or selling it, or using it as a buffer against inflation. Your passive income or cash flow is converted into a profitable benefit or return by real estate investment. 2 Consistent Earnings Real estate investment is much safer and more liquid than the stock exchange or import-export investments. Other market assets experience constant volatility, but real estate does not; its values fluctuate once every 7 to 10 years. In comparison to other investments, only real estate investment provides a steady income. Real estate investment is similar to a high-pro- file career, but with the added benefit of a desired salary or revenue. You would be able to earn a fixed return as well as a high profit if you invest your money in the real estate market or other forms of real estate. If you invest in rental properties, you will be able to earn a predictable monthly profit without having to be actively involved. Since real estate market values differ from one place to the next or from one country to the next, benefits and income are directly linked to the real es- tate market. Other variables have no direct impact on the real estate market, so keep in mind that this investment is more stable and secure than others. 3 The Value of the Assets Grows Exponentially As there are many different types of real estate properties, there are many different types of real estate investments. In- vestors may make a lot of money from these real estate assets or investment forms because the value of real estate assets rises over time. If you own rental land, rents rise daily due to the rising demand for available amenities due to the high rate of inflation. If you have an asset for sale, such as a home, its value increas- es over time, allowing you to make a large profit. If the cost of the building rises day by day, the return rate rises as well. The value raises as a result of the high investment in these proper- ties as well as the additional maintenance expenses. “Chennai based real estate platform findbhk.com predicts that the demand for plots in Chennai and other metro cit- ies like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune will see an uptick compared to dwelling / commercial units in a post pandemic world. Choosing this particular real estate product for invest- ment will give a better yields in a shorter span of time.” 4 It provides a variety of investment options In comparison to other economies, the real estate industry is enormous. It provides investors with a variety of versatile investment opportunities based on their interests or calibre. You could easily invest in rental real estate if you want to run a business in that sector. If you are interested in starting a commercial or residential real estate company, it will provide you with a variety of tools and guidance. You can invest your money in your preferred real estate sector and benefit hand- somely without the intervention of a third party. Real estate’s versatility also allows you to demonstrate expert skills and develop your portfolio over time. You can put your profit from your real estate com- pany aside and put it into another real estate project for a higher profit and re- turn. You can recruit staff to help the company’s im- age and promotions on a larger scale. Other assets have a cap in terms of prof- it or reach, while real estate receiving, scope, and profit are unlimited. 5 Benefits of Depreciation in Taxes One of the main advantag- es of real estate investment is the tax gain that you get over depreciation. Since every real estate investor understands the value of their property ventures and how they develop their profits over time, they want to make more and more money from them. When investors’ projects are rented, they will bene- fit. Depreciation on leased land or projects will help you avoid paying addition- al taxes. Final Words The advantages of real estate investing are immense. Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) platform, allow- ing all types of investors to participate in the In- dian real estate market. Real estate is a thriving industry with plenty of prospects for new Start-ups businesses as well. To begin investing in real estate, you don’t need a lot of money.

And recognizing these loopholes, many ventures made a debut to be substantive to this industry, but only a few were able to make a substantive impression. This edition presents you an inside story of Accura Biomedical that has flagged its name in the respective space with an extraordinary product line. With the motive to bridge the gaps in the fragile healthcare delivery models, Accura Biomedical has forayed into the space proposing exemplary products and services. The company was designated with a vision to be the best one- stop solution provider of medical accessories and supplies that can satisfy the clients with best-in-class offerings all over South India.

Moreover, Accura has also commenced a venture naming - ACCURA MEDICHARTS in 2017. The firm deals with Medical Grade Papers including ECG, TMT, CTG Paper, etc and Operation Theatre Instruments. UNVEILING THE INCEPTION STORY A duo of insightful individuals acknowledged the thriving opportunities in Biomedical Engineering while being the alumni in the same college. Shibi Achenkunju and Anu Rahuf are the brains behind the Accura Biomedical Solutions. After attaining BE in Biomedical Engineering in 2011, they both envisioned being substantive to the medical industry. This zeal fuelled when they got to know that Biomedical Engineers in hospitals are in the dearth of medical equipment and accessories. As the significance of such equipment in saving a life is unimaginably crucial, they became impatient to make these parts reach the patients as soon as possible. Recognizing the golden opportunity to make a difference in the industry while serving mankind, they incorporated their very first brainchild that delivers imperative equipment to the relevant hospitals and that too, in their early twenties. As starting a business venture from scratch is no cakewalk at all. Shibi and Rahuf’s entrepreneurial journey also had a fair share of ups and downs. Earlier, their families were doubtful about this idea, increasing their struggles. Surviving all the odds, they sailed against the waves and begin thriving as a reputed name in the respective industry. Gradually, they impressed several big names as their clients in the healthcare sector. Amidst the desperate times, both the partners supported each other incessantly and carved a niche for themselves with the determined zeal to hit the crescendo of success. AN EMPOWERING LEADERSHIP As the frontrunners, Shibi and Rahuf always ensure to maintain a cordial relation with their workforce. They firmly believe it is a crucial element behind the company’s exponential growth. Being the thought leaders, they always consider the needs of their staff and enlighten them with their significance in the development of the company. While encouraging their teams to put on their dedicated efforts without any irrelevant pressures, they always ensure an optimistic and effortless workflow in the culture. CONTRIBUTION TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS As businesses across the world were drastically disrupted due to the global pandemic, Accura also witnessed turmoil from various levels. Owing to multiple factors, the management at Accura Biomedicals made a huge transformation in the delivery model where they started the formulation of ‘necessary products’ such as N95 Mask, 3Ply masks, Infrared Thermometers and Sanitizers. This quick turnaround effectively allowed the rolling out of the considerable amount of revenue even amidst the swirling storms of the ‘crisis like no other’. Eventually, their swift adaptivity and business resilience ensured them to be on the safer side in the midst of prevailing chaos. Moreover, they also donated masks, IR thermometers and sanitisers to welfare organization in different area during the hard times. CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK According to the key persons, the positive attitude and actions pave the way to optimistic workplace culture. “Let them work comfortably and witness the result that will eventually lead to exponential growth. People won’t please someone who is seemingly unpleasable, so being passionate about the work that is being done in your organization is crucial. When you are happy to be at work, your staff will be happy to work for you and will be motivated to keep the good vibes on,” ASSERTS SHIBI In the same notion, Rahuf exemplifies, “Be focused on making sure that your employees are cordial with each other enhances employee engagement and thus, resolve issues effortlessly. Appreciate your staffs regularly to boost their confidence and enhance their performances as no better performance booster can substitute the sincere words of appreciation.” GLIMPSES OF FUTURE OUTLOOKS For the upcoming years, Accura has envisioned to expand its ubiquity from South India to North India. In this regard, they have speeded-up their marketing and planning programs to expand their wings all over India as well as GCC. At present, they have been importing the products from various countries but soon, they endeavour to promote the ‘Make In India’ drive, by developing their own products. Accura Biomedical Solutions Revamping the healthcare space with value-added services Be impassioned for your work. Be there to a stage, where you are restless without into your business.

You have to fight hard to reach your dream. Never Lose Hope. Get a reliable and friendly partner to conduct a business.
