The Journey of Inception
Dr Manish Das along with his mother Mrs Rupali Baruah
Das started career counseling in 2000, when it was still
quite new to individuals in North-East India. They launched
the campaign and used marketing techniques like
presentations in colleges and word-of-mouth advertising.
Manish states, "We started to do the best we could with our
limited resources."
"We spread the message loud and clear that making the
right career choice at the right time is the best thing to do,
and we began educating people about the right career
courses and selecting the right institutions and colleges."
Additionally, the ideal course of action is to choose an
institution that offers a suitable career with potential.
Any person's career is their foundation; thus, it should be
chosen carefully and with the best possibilities that are
practical. Careers are essential to an individual's
development; thus, it is important to choose them
intelligently with the aid of specialists and career guides. In
addition, career guidance goes beyond art and science
because it calls for experience, the proper acceptance of
potential, faith, and support for the best conclusion that is
practically possible. Impact of Intelligence among

impact is crucial for improvement and the best outcomes.
By providing the finest possible service to the public and
working toward improved results, IIPA has today overcome
many formidable obstacles in life with flying colors, thanks
to excellent effort and results. Although there are no
guarantees in life, with careful planning and foresight, one
can achieve hitherto unattainable goals. Beyond this, the
best course of action is to try something new, whether it's a
course, job, project, or something that has national or
international acceptance.
Dr Manish Das shares, "We won lots and lots of awards as
the best education counselor, best edupreneur, best career
guide, and lots more from different organizations and
sources, namely the government of India, the government of
Assam, Indian Army, IIT, NLU, NSD, MSME, DIC, Skill
India, Bangladesh, Nepal, the UAE, Turkey, Greece,
Thailand, and South Africa and many more."

that will help you to choose a course to blend your career
towards the right direction. Always ask yourself why,
where, how, what, and when your career will get shape with
the best outcome. A career is the backbone of everyone's
life that's why we have to choose wisely at right time,
looking with the right attitude the best you can do it. Career
Analysis from the right person is highly required; we
shaped many people's careers with the right prospects and
concrete theories and accelerated the milestone practical
results. This book is handy for all students, career-seeking
students for higher education, job-oriented people,
professionals, Postgraduates, Doctorates, and Others.
Higher Education and the Right Career selection is the best

your life from better to best. The right decision at right time
is the key to success, so one must choose wisely by seeking
the consideration best out of the best which will be helpful

Chinnmaye
Praveen An Eternal River
Quenching Beings’ Thirst
My startup,
Gewinn Wachstum
helps communities
of the underprivileged
stratum to get access
to safe drinking water
at affordable cost
indiscriminately.
Chinnmaye Praveen,
Founder and Strategic Head
Gewinn Wachstum
ater is our life, and our life flows like a river
Wfull of water. One of the essential aspects
proliferating many of our significant needs
besides drinking, like cooking, bathing, washing, cleaning,
gardening, farming, and public and private utilization, water
has always been our being quencher. The growing popula-
tion, urbanization, industrialization, extensive farming, and
global warming depleting our existing water resources like
natural and man-made reservoirs has been constantly
forcing us to look for water harvesting and other alterna-
tives like waste-water treatment.
Generating more water is possible through water treatment
solutions like treating sea water, sewage water, and
industrial sources. Understanding the growing need to
provide drinking water to everyone, treating wastewater has
become one of the significant aspects of a sustainable
future.
In this cause, a passionate researcher, and social entrepre-
neur Chinnmaye Praveen has taken up the responsibility
of shouldering it by providing clean drinking water to most
areas of Karnataka State. The Founder and Strategic Head
of Gewinn Wachstum, Chinnmaye has been addressing the
water needs by providing clean drinking water to the needy
populace for more than ten years.
In the rendezvous with the CIOLOOK India team,
Chinnmaye offered interesting snippets of her entrepreneur-
ial journey, initial inspirations, challenges countered, the
uniqueness of the organization, and her advice to budding
entrepreneurs.

Most Inspiring Business Leaders to Follow in 2023
Please, brief our audience about Gewinn Wachstum and
the concept behind Winn water.
Gewinn Wachstum is a decade-old organization catering to
the need of society by dispensing pure safe and clean
drinking water across Karnataka at affordable cost
indiscriminately. Shouldering the health of communities at
large, Gewinn Wachstum is a multi-product, multi-channel
organization having millions of satisfied customers. Our
company has always been on the front line to embrace extra
responsibility, especially at alarming hours. Our portfolio
encompasses water treatment units, EPs, Software Technol-
ogy Parks (STPs), eco-friendly building technology, and
solutions to liquid storage having a footprint in 18 districts
in Karnataka.
Water dispensing units are conceptualized with not only
shouldering the health of the community but also impacting
the social economic development of rural patches across
Karnataka. The customized solutions and seven stages of
filtration at each kiosk help us stand unique in every way.
Women empowerment is mounting by the culture earning in
learning, our policies and practices are fair and transparent
which are helping us achieve market leadership. Winn water
is a flagship brand of Gewinn Wachstum and has been
conferred with numerous state and national awards for its
technology and ethical business methods.
What challenges did you face to establish your organiza-
tion ‘Gewinn Wachstum?
For any business owner entrepreneur or for leader, generat-
ing goodwill and creating a work relationship network is
the biggest challenge. In entrepreneurship, work takes up a
large part of their lives, so it is very important to be happy
with that as the next crucial challenge. Building a support
system on the personal front and the professional end was a
task, deciding best with a bundle of business ideas traffick-
ing the action on grounds was tough.
The easy felt toughest challenges were, making people
understand the value of water, training our staff to be
proactive rather than reactive, constantly monitoring
customer community relations which demanded water
stewardship to develop public support, and making policies
to balance the fluctuations of working staff on their
hierarchy.
Share your journey in the industry and how you made
Gewin Wachstum excel in its niche?
I have been an entrepreneur, social activist, and writer—
has been a force of action that has enabled me in leading a
life of humility, diligence, compassion, love, and empathy.
A homemaker turned social entrepreneur; I consistently
pressed the issue of water shortage. My startup, Gewinn
Wachstum helps communities of the underprivileged
stratum to get access to safe drinking water at affordable
cost indiscriminately. As against shouldering to the health
of the nation, it provides employment to women to help
them secure financial independence, integrity to uneducated
youth, and dignity of work for to physically challenged.
This initiative has converted many littered and dumped
areas into resourceful places by creating water points.
The project has offered leadership solutions for cities and
citizens, addressing the social issue through a business
model paving way for urbanization. Through novel
applications and positive change in the health and happiness
of communities has proven her business is for the greater
social good and not just the pursuit of profits. Looking at
philanthropy seriously, I started the Vistaara foundation
where individuals are offered affordable and accessible
shared spaces for social activities. These stimulate new
discoveries to increase capacity broaden opportunities for
inclusion, celebrate innovation and capitalize on both
collective and individual learning.
The foundation has been involved in many activities like
donation drives, skill development, mental health programs,
community learning, and go-green initiatives and has done
many collaborative projects to shape society for better
living. I feel that age is just a number; I am young at heart
as I continue to serve enthusiastically at YCC, a youth wing
of the public relations council of India as the National
Chairperson. I like to help youth with skills to build
community resilience, awakening programs to create
environmental sustainability and walk the talk that youth at
community collaboration becomes the default approach to
social change in creating a socially conscious society.
What professional values and qualities do you think
your clients value in you and Gewinn Wachstum—the
most?
We at Gewinn induce a problem-solving mindset at each
stratum of our workforce that helps create a map of changes
as per customer needs helping us in customer retention and
admiration. We create a sense of purpose in every transaction

o become extraordinary, you must rise above and
Tgo beyond the ordinary. For doing that you must be
at your healthiest best to live up to your true
potential. Being healthiest all the time is a constant race
against diseases, illnesses, sicknesses, and ailments. Add to
it an unhealthy lifestyle, modern hypertension-full routine,
and increasing reliance on hazardous, junk, and fast food,
and the adversities are enough for anybody to get affected
with any of the health conditions common in almost all the
developed and developing nations and their populations.
The coronavirus pandemic then seems just an aspect of a
health crisis looming large over the world even after
COVID-19’s erasing.
The solution proposed by Dr Rishabh Verma, the national
health doctor and the Founder of Nutrillion, on a mission
to perfect global health, is profoundly simple. Dr
Rishabh’s vision is to clearly distinguish general nutrition
from personalized nutrition. According to him, it is a fact
that dietary needs and factors have resulted in numerous
diseases and health problems globally. Dr Rishabh’s
number one purpose is to create a healthy country and
world using Nutrition to correct the adverse changes in the
lifestyle of people and promote healthy living. “We want to
give people hope through real results that come from our
personalized nutrition and dietary plans. Our vision is to
create a healthy country with a healthy lifestyle through
personalized nutrition, and genetic testing to know the root
cause of any disease,” proclaims Dr Rishabh.
The Lifelong Learner
Born in the most beautiful city, Vikasnagar of Dehradun,
Uttarakhand, Dr Rishabh was brought up by his parents
after his grandparents’ demise, in a nuclear family of an
elder brother, and a younger sister. Then in 2015, he lost his
father. Yet he took it as a part of life. Throughout his
education–primary and secondary in Paonta Sahib,
Himachal Pradesh, post-graduation in business manage-
ment, till his doctorate in Nutritional Science in 2021–Dr
Rishabh remained a brilliant youngster. He further studied
Body Anatomy at Lionel University California USA and
became a professional Anatomist.
Throughout his years, as he has gained numerous degrees
and qualifications, Dr Rishabh innately and unintentionally
followed on the path to becoming a doctor cum nutritionist.
A few of his degrees and qualifications include Advanced
Specialization in Nutrition and Clinical Dietetics and
various International and National Credentials in Nutrition,
Gut Health, General Health, and Genetic Science Educa-
tion, Qualified Advanced Diabetes Educator, and Qualified
Cancer Nutritionist from Apollo Research Institute,
Bangalore.
Always being a unique student, Dr Rishabh’s thinking
process is distinct from his contemporaries. Having been
taught that to succeed is to be educated, he is always ready
to learn and learn some more. He was always ready to
learn, having been taught previously that to succeed is to be
educated. Although his early childhood days were filled
with the usual academic challenges, he made sure to learn
from all his experiences and push himself to become the
best version of himself.
Following in the words of Anthony J. I D’Angelo, ‘Every
man should develop a passion for learning. If you do, you
will never cease to grow,’ Dr Rishabh attributes all his
success to his ability to adapt and learn from his experi-
ences and the experiences of the people around him.
Dr. Rishabh believes himself to be a lifelong learner
because, “When you learn, your mind can live forever. The
mind is like a sponge, it loves to soak up as much informa-
tion as possible, and I’ve learned to only take in the most
vital and useful information alternatively,” says Dr.Rishabh

Exploring
Effective Strategies
to Ensure
Organizational
Growth
Reviving from the compelling COVID-19
lockdowns, every management is striving to
recover and establish itself properly in the
business. Taking it as a lesson that has shaken the business
world, modern business leaders are gearing up for making
fundamental changes in the system by restructuring and
developing resilient methodologies that will ensure
systematic functioning as well as bring in new opportunities
for growth.
This change of a complete outlook from the inside out has
resulted in the facelift of the business industry. This is the
phase of revolution when the need to develop and grow has
propelled new innovations and adaptations. Some of the
effective strategies that have been noticed in modern
business organizations are elaborated herewith.
Sound HR Policies
The workforce is an important asset of the organization
which needs to be handled and molded properly. A highly
motivated, disciplined, and trained team of employees
contributes to the productivity of the company, helps in
enhancing quality, improves work efficiency, and nurtures
healthy associations with customers, associates, vendors,
investors, and several other industry connections in
miscellaneous levels. The human resource department well
equipped with a qualified and trained team of HR
professionals helps in the crucial process of recruitment,

Novel Perspectives

Reliable CRM
Successful organizations have been guided by the customer-
centric approach thereby helping the business operations to
be scheduled accordingly. The need for providing
dedicated, focused, and prompt customer service has led to
the development of Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) systems. Keeping customer requirements at the
helm of the operations, all the processes are planned
accordingly. The CRM has complemented the Sales and
marketing departments in going forward in developing
good, engaging and fruitful associations. Furthermore, the
CRM manages the clients in a secure, personalized and
customized manner giving a high level of satisfaction
through continued communication and services. Modern
CRM web applications have the complete process
organized and evenly documented. As the work progresses,
the system generates further tips and suggestions to build
the customer association to better understanding and lasting
satisfaction.
Business Integration
During business, the management often identifies certain
aspects from the backend that needs to be streamlined for
better control and cost-benefit optimization. Comprehensive
vendor management practices are adopted to ensure good
relations with flexibility in services offered. Organizations
have tried various techniques to develop better vendor
management, however, have met with certain challenges
and roadblocks. The backward integration process has been
the decision of setting up of complete facility for
manufacturing the support goods that are generally
procured from the vendors. This helps in getting the goods
at a much more feasible price and at the convenience of the
schedules.
Similarly, forward integration has been adopted as the
market demand for the goods increased rapidly, opening the
opportunity of developing a new business entity that will be
an assured gateway for the product consumption of the
main business. Having entered a bigger market segment, the
organization gains a broader scope of expansion in
domestic as well as international markets.

induction, training and development, and monitoring of the
code of conduct, rules, and regulations.
Planning and implementation of cultural activities and
rewards and recognition programs, help in building better
employee-company bond. Moreover, acting as a vital bridge
in the employees and the management, the HR department
facilitates smooth communication, better clarity and hearing
the concerns of the employees.
Operational Systems
Business system of the organization is set up considering
the easy and consistent flow of the activities across the
departments. Business enterprises have often struggled in
managing the basic issues of the process. Today’s business
entrepreneurs are well aware of the process optimization
systems that can take care of smooth working, minimize
human errors, and build a decent momentum in the process
flow. The quality systems that have been implemented in
the progressive organizations are Kanban, Kaizen, Six
Sigma, TQM, LEAN management which have streamlined
the process. All these systems have structured the business
operations towards a systematic line-up of the stagewise
levels and developed organized working patterns in the
employees as well.
Digitalization
Technologies have brought about phenomenal changes in
the entire business functions across the departments from
making the entire communication and working paperless to
imbibing a disciplined working methodology in the
workforce. Modern web-based software has mapped the
working in excellent synchronization of the operations in an
integrated yet inter-connected system. The recent cloud-
based applications have enabled users to work from any
device or location in a seamless mode. Artificial
Intelligence (AI) has supported several operations through
systematic and periodic task completion. Certain tasks that
are typical, monotonous, time-taking have been managed
by the applications without any errors. The AI applications
in marketing, and social media systems. The predictability
analysis has equipped the operational system in developing
a complete understanding of all sorts of client requirements
thereby customizing the communication and developing the
support process accordingly.

Equaling Kiddy Passion to the
Chakori’s Fashion Square
If the soul is our internal anchor, clothes are our
external persona. They are the mediums of reflecting
our identity into the mirror of the beholder’s eyes.
Like, funky clothes create a lasting impression by bringing
out the childish innocence in us and becoming our defining
image. Similarly, kids wearing the precise clothes of their
comfort fabric and innate style can make all the difference
they need to have the fun and delight they deserve.
Aligning the business model on the excelling principles of
quality, luxury, ease, finesse, and personalized style of
children, Neha Kedia, a passionate clothing entrepreneur
came up with an innovative range of apparel exclusively for
kids with a deep understanding of their soft skins, usage, an
affinity for colours and convenience. Through Chakori–the
innovative clothing venture, Neha the Founder, has been
developing amazing and exciting clothing wear for kids in
all age groups. Developed with the thought of understand-
ing child psychology and making them comfortable, Neha
believes that kids deserve to wear good and skin-friendly
clothes.
Speaking with the CIOLOOK India team, Neha over-
whelmingly elaborated on her entrepreneurial odyssey of
building Chakori as a meaningful and gallant business
venture, the challenges faced by her, the logic, and princi-
ples implemented, her advice to young professionals, and
her vision of guiding Chakori in the progressive horizons.
Please tell us about the saga of your reputed business
leadership from the beginning.
It is usually the leader or the founder who drives the
business. Here I would say, Chakori has driven us each day
to work.
,Today, Chakori is not just a
D2C kid’s wear brand but also
a small business supporter.
We manufacture for brands in
small MOQs under private
labels and help them grow.
Neha Kedia
Founder
Chakori

The love we have received from day one from our clients
has been overwhelming and has been the major motivation
for us to curate something new each day. It is like when a
teacher appreciates a student, he starts performing even
better to stay up to the mark. Similar is the case with us. We
have been upgrading ourselves each day since day one of
getting into business and have focused on delivering better
than yesterday. This is the only driving force in our team.
We do not believe in staying in the same place. Our
competition is behind us by yesterday and that is enough for
all of us to keep growing even in our personal lives. Our
employees have been very loyal, and we have had a zero-
attrition rate till now. The reason is self-motivation and
appreciation of each other’s work. There is a lot of peer
learning culture, and the focus is on self-growth. Being an
all-women’s organization, the zeal for teaching and learning
from each other is so high that everyone is a leader here.
The qualities are so unique in each one of us, and luckily,
we have been optimizing them to the core. Business is not
a one-man show anymore and when you work as a team,
the growth is substantial, and the saga is so personal to each
one that we feel the belongingness here.
What was your inspiration behind venturing into the
business arena?
Well, I was always willing to start my own venture since
my MBA days. But I would say, COVID has been a boon to
me. I got time to figure out what exactly my forte was and
how I was supposed to execute the same in the form of a
business start-up that would add value to all women around
me and solve a problem as well. I started as a B2B private
label manufacturer majorly for budding women entrepre-
neurs who had less capital and wanted to own a brand. I
started manufacturing garments for them in smaller MOQs
helping them establish brands of their own. In 2 years, we
helped 13 brands to get onboarded and 9 women entrepre-
neurs to grow. Today, Chakori is not just a D2C kids' wear
brand but also a small business supporter. We manufacture
for brands in small MOQs under private labels and help
them grow. We get inspired when we cater to such budding
brands and ultimately when they grow, we grow.
What were the initial challenges that you had to
surmount to ensure Chakori’s success rate reached
greater heights?
Challenges are parallel to every start-up. The initial or the
biggest challenge is to start. Once you have started, you
have embraced the journey of challenges. But the best part
is, you have chosen it. And you start enjoying this within no
time. The biggest satisfaction you get is when you never
expected your older self to achieve or meet the chal-
lenge/milestone and you do it now. I think that’s where you
start breaking blocks and start walking toward your vision.
Consistency & perseverance is the key. I personally have
been wearing different hats each day to ensure that we
optimally utilize every opportunity. Keeping the motivation
on amongst your team members is the utmost important and
challenging thing today.
What leadership skills, values, and qualities do you
think your clients admire in you and Chakori the most?
We are very flexible in terms of price points. We have
various price products which somewhere fit into the client’s
pocket in some or the other way. So none of our clients go
empty-handed. We believe in conscious mindful clothing,
which is appreciated by our clients, especially being in the
kid’s segment, we take care of minute details. We are very
quality conscious hence we use the best cotton and focus on

Sonalker Pioneer in Facilitating
Personal Safety Through
Technology
iving in the modern age of digital technology,
Lalmost all work, communication, and transactions
happen online through computers or smartphones.
The modern features in the e-commerce and UPI payment
systems have made it easier for people to make payments
seamlessly. However, certain abrupt challenges that can
disrupt the normal steady routine for which most people
might not be prepared.
It becomes necessary to have some reliable safety system to
support us in crucial times of challenging situations.
Modern technologies, when combined, offer the advantage
of providing crucial safety in daily life—a factor that is
important in today’s fast-paced world.
Innovative technology expert, Onkar Sonalker, has
developed a unique safety platform that provides clients
with a reliable 24X7 service through the application of AI,
VA, IoT, and Cloud-based solutions. Onkar is a first-
generation entrepreneur, in his mid-thirties, with 15+ years
of rich technology experience.
Educated in the United States, Onkar owns a software
development company based out of the US. His panache for
technology, command over app development, and forward-
thinking attitude is his hallmark. He has tech exposure both
on the national and international levels.
Onkar is the Director of Zimaxx Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd,
headquartered in Mumbai. It is a unique tech-enabled
security service provider operating through an innovative
‘Platform as a Service’ (PaaS) concept.
As a pioneer in the PaaS-based subscription model for
smart security, Zimaxx operates BPO services through an
ICCC State-Of-The-Art Command Station that leverages
the best of AI, IoT, VA, and cloud solutions to offer its
clients unmatched safety and security solutions, 24×7, with
real-time alert management, in any emergency situations.
Unfolding the Initial Phases
Entrepreneurship was a quality that was ingrained in him
from a very young age. But the first time Onkar got an
opportunity was when he was pursuing his M.S in
Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Onkar was working on a high-performance trading
algorithm, and he knew that hedge funds were on the
lookout for AI-based machine trading algorithms.
He spent four months developing-tweaking the algorithm,
found a buyer, and closed the deal in just 30 days. This
initial success made him understand the importance of
studying the market and finding a solution for something
that the customers are looking for. From there, Onkar began
his journey in the tech space by starting his own company
that delivered enterprise mobile applications.
Using his data modeling, machine learning, and AI
background, Onkar created a platform that helped
customers with a minimum $2 Mn annual logistics spend to
save their shipping costs by up to 24%. This was a game
changer in the industry as he was bringing data points to
smaller shippers, which helped them negotiate better rates
with the carriers.
From here, Onkar started working on Zimaxx, his current
venture, where he and his team are launching the world’s
first Safety Service Aggregator Platform called “Captain
India.”

Today, mobile phones are ubiquitous in human lives. It’s
now a lifeline for most of the people. Onkar questioned

Rinku Learning You Books of Success via
Tapati Publishers
Chakraborty
Rinku Chakraborty
Founder
Tapati Publishers

As Rancho–Amir Khan’s character in the
movie 3 Idiots–defines books in a bookish
manner, “Instrument that record, analyze,
summarize, organize, debate and explain infor-
mation and are illustrative, non-illustrative,
hardbound, paperback, jacketed, non-jacketed,
with forward, introduction, table of contents,
index; that are intended for the enlightenment,
understanding, enrichment, enhancement, and
education of the human brain through sensory
route of vision - sometimes touch,” we realize the
pun-intended sarcasm that such a mechanical
definition cannot truly reveal the reality of what
timelessly transcendental invention books are.
People might say that in this digital world, printed
books are losing their charm. But books were
never for unwise readers. Neither they were for
those who never needed them. They were, are,
and will always be there for those seeking knowl-
edge, understanding, learning, education, and
wisdom.
These silently glittering stars are the entire human
existence’s treasure trove. It is because of them
that we are priding ourselves as a learned civiliza-
tion. Today, like many other things they have
gone digital and become eBooks, yet they will
keep turning wizards out of homo sapiens. Ever
since Rinku Chakraborty learned his first letter
from the book bought for him by his (Late) father
Kamal Chakraborty, he wished to be a book
wizard. Encouraged by his mom Tapati
Chakraborty, he fulfilled his lifelong dream by
establishing Tapati Publishers on Tamer Lane,
Collage Street, Kolkata, West Bengal.
Learning’s Building Blocks
Rinku shares, “From that day, when I read my
first letter, I fell in love with books. And my
lifelong dream was fulfilled, when encouraged by
my mom, I launched Tapati Publishers in 2007.”
Today, Rinku caters to the demands of all book
lovers through Tapati’s physical, digital, and app
stores. Rinku informs, “We publish all competi-
tive level books from 2007. Currently, we sell the
greatest number of competitive-level books in
West Bengal. In, 2009 our primary TET book
sold six lakhs copies of books. In 2012, we sold
three lakhs copies of books.”
Tapati Publishers has books on Comparative
Religion, West Bengal State Board Textbooks,
Competitive Exams, online education, and other
subjects.
Comparative Religion: These are books in the
current publishing marketplace that are similar
and successful.
West Bengal State Board Textbooks: “Here, we
have compiled together the West Bengal Board
Textbooks for Classes 1 to 12,” says Rinku.
Students can refer to these WBBSE Books and
prepare for the exams.
Online Education and Publication: “One of the
most important areas we can develop as profes-
sionals is competence in accessing and sharing
knowledge,” feels Rinku.
The Wisdom Booklore
Under the visionary leadership of Rinku, the
Founder, Tapati Publishers has earned the
reputation of being a very famous and popular
book publisher and seller in the entire West
Bengal region. The firm has received Just Dial
stamps like Jd Verified, Jd Trusted, and Jd
Escrow, significantly enhancing its credentials or
customer trustworthiness and reliability.
“We strive to provide a pleasant, comfortable, and
positive experience to all our customers. As
George Washington Carver said, ‘Education is
the key to unlock the golden door of freedom,’
we at Tapati Publishers believe that Books are the
wizards learning you the true meaning of that
freedom and enable you to transform your will
into free will,” expresses Rinku.
By offering customer-centric, high-quality
services, and premium solutions in the form of
books, magazines, and other reading material,
Rinku via Tapati Publishers is ensuring a holistic
learning environment for students, researchers,
academicians, and avid readers.

We at Tapati Publishers
believe that Books are

you the true meaning
of freedom and enable
you to transform your
will into free will.

Sidhharrth S Kumaar
Transforming Your Life by Solving Your Issues with NumroVani
s ancient civilizations developed numbering
Asystems they also propagated numbers' impact on
human beings and all our affairs dictated by astro-
numerical influence. Akin to modern scientists, wise people
of old tried to explain our universe and our solar system by
the astrological equations of numbers developing it into
what they called the science of astro-numbers or numerol-
ogy.
Developed and practice over millennia across older-new
and modern civilizations, India is one of the biggest
proponents of this subject. Not only the masses, but also
many celebrities, professionals, and corporate people
arrange their affairs according to numerology.
Yet, what this concept still lacks is a research-based critical
inquiry, which Sidhharrth S Kumaar, the Founder of
NumroVani, has taken upon himself to carry out.
The Homo-AI Integrated Stream
He states, “Being an astro-numerologist and a healer, for
the last two decades, I have conducted proprietary research
in the fields of astrology, numerology, sound therapy, and
energy healing. By doing so, transforming these occult
sciences into evidence-based sciences is my vision. And in
my mission to make these sciences an integral part of the
modern open-minded lifestyle I have established my brand
NumroVani.”
A human-AI integrated company, NumroVani is bridging
the gap between the two streams of occult sciences and the
contemporary world. By leveraging the powers of modern
and occult sciences integrated into a single entity,
NumroVani assists individuals, professionals, and compa-
nies in accomplishing a sustainable business growth
momentum.
Reimaging Research-Based Occult Sciences
Sidhharrth a registered pharmacist turned Astro Numerolo-
gist has been reinventing the world of occult sciences with
its contemporary use cases in mental and spiritual
wellbeing, driving sustainable business growth and building
a prosperous life.
Sidhharrth has a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from
Alwar Pharmacy College in Rajasthan and had been a
professional in multiple Bio Pharma startups and MNCs
with corporate experience in business, brand, sales, and
marketing strategy. According to Sidhharrth, “These
experiences honed my comprehension of human physiol-
ogy, medicines, psychology and the methodology to be
embraced, adopted and implemented for holistic patient
counseling.”

despite the volatile market,
brands named by our methods
have resulted in 10-on-10 Net

Understanding the
Traits that Signify Impeccable
Leadership
Approaches

S
uccessful business organizations have been led by prominent influential
leaders who have inspired and guided the teams towards focused working
and delivering the best services. Researchers have identified the crucial
change of the mindset towards broader and holistic thinking, to have accelerated
the productivity of the organization powered by stoic leadership.
There are several organizations that have been steered by influential leaders on
the path of gradual progress, coming out to be effective, prominent, and
significant in the aspects of innovation, product development, services, and
client satisfaction.
A d m i r a b l e A s p e c t s

The list goes long with new names getting added in the
business era heralded by a series of dynamic leaders like
Gautam Adani from Adani Group, Roshni Nadar of HCL
Infosystems, Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Group, Falguni
Nayar of Naykaa, Ratan Tata, Chairman Tata Group, Anand
Mahindra MD Mahindra Group, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw of
Biocon Ltd and more. It is interesting to understand the
various traits of successful businesswomen that have been
noticed in their unique leadership approaches.
Strong Self Belief
Successful leaders are practical thinkers having a strong
self-belief in making things happen. Knowing the various
aspects of the organization from the depth of operations, the
leaders are very focused and specific about executing the
plans. Track and monitor the systems to prepare the
required strategies. Leaders reflect amazing confidence in
their communication and behaviour. Their preparedness in
every meeting and the day-to-day business functions
reflects their finesse and control over the discussion. This
belief portrays their ability to maneuver various challenges
and succeed in the business.
Presentable Professionals
Business leaders are always nicely groomed and well-
presented saying a lot about themselves. It shows that they
have got everything in control and take pride in their
appearance. Good dressing reflects their self-respect.
Business leaders are never short of anything but pristine
and stylish – in fact, everyone is likely to catch these
leaders on the ‘best dressed’ celebrities of some great event.
The dressing, shoes, accessories, methods of using the
gadgets, posture, and movements all reflect a class of their
level. The complete personality portrays an inspiring aura
that motivates and impresses the people around.
Business today is about a lot more than being good at the
job; it’s about building a personal own brand as well as that
of the organization as well.
Welcome Challenges Openly
Business leaders are fierce performers themselves in
finishing the tasks from their ‘To-Do’ list. This quality
makes them unmatched professionals who remain far ahead
in their deliveries and execution. They are very adept and
agile in handling several types of challenges. It so happens
that as they complete one from the list, another three appear
at the bottom with their own timelines. They don’t see any
problem with this either, but rather enjoy re-prioritizing the
task list thereby pushing themselves to see what they can
achieve.
Understanding that not everything on the to-do list will be
accomplished but will be completed sooner is also a sign of
their strength.
Healthy Work-Life Balance
Progressive business leaders with successful careers have a
healthy work-life balance. They are not the first ones to
wind off the day early and head for some enjoyment, but
they are the experts in maintaining a healthy balance in
their work and personal lives. Keeping both things separate
and clearly defined, they lead lives with proper planning
and distribution of priorities. They are also flexible in
juggling between priorities when they team up for the late-
night presentation of the board meeting or work hard to
meet the commitments of the employees, vendors, clients,
and even investors. This comes down to the fact that they
prioritize what’s important and make time for a life out of
work. That time out allows for perspective and gives
women with high-powered, stressful careers the opportunity
to unwind and refocus when necessary.
Support Others
Successful leaders promptly support their team members;
they encourage other people to learn and take up higher
responsibilities in business and more often in helping others
climb the corporate ladder. Modern leaders who have
achieved success recognize and appreciate the hurdles their
peers will have to overcome and guide them accordingly.
Business leaders allow the employees to identify the work
from a different perspective and apply creative thoughts
from their active involvement in the work.
Passionate Managers
Looking at the business from a commercial enterprise to a
solution powerhouse, today’s business leaders have
displayed amazing talent in their high degree of
involvement in organizational operations. Developing a
clear understanding, they identify an outcome that would
offer the best possible solution to the intended purpose to
the clients, and everyone involved in the chain. Openly
brainstorm with the teams, and help in generating new
possibilities of better and more efficient working, the
leaders ensure cracking the best possible ‘improved’
solution adding substance to the working objectives.

also get a lot of
value from the things
that we can improve

Head, Intelligent
Automa on Solu ons
Sutherland

The new era post-pandemic has accelerated all
industries into a dynamic momentum driven by the
desperation of recovering from the current
situation, the highly demanding customers, the highly
competitive market, and organizational growth objectives.
The current working methodologies may not be effective in
better utilization of the employee resource and optimizing
the present resources and systems becoming the main
priority.
There arises the need for strong, effective, and precise effort
optimization methodologies that can accelerate the process
allowing the workforce to concentrate on core business
functions. This is where exactly where technological
experts like Vartul Mittal catalyze business organizations
by infusing the vital power of intelligent automation. He
has developed expertise in identifying the business function
and formulating technological solutions that quickly
support repetitive, mundane tasks, thereby enhancing the
employees’ potential.
As the Head of Intelligent Automation Solutions at
Sutherland, Vartul has been a seasoned digital
transformation and technology leader offering customized
digital automation solutions by automating tedious and
time-consuming tasks increasing efficiency, reducing
human errors, and freeing up employees to work on other
things.
In an engaging rendezvous with the CIOLOOK India team,
Vartul unfolded his professional journey, his early
inspirations, and the business values and ethics nurtured. He
further elaborated on the challenges faced and countered his
advice for young professionals and his vision for the future.
Please tell us about the saga of your digital
transformation business leadership from the beginning.
As leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about
the impact, influence, and inspiration that we generate; I
thankfully started my leadership building very young.
Today besides being recognized as one of the Top 40 under
40 Data Scientists and Top 100 Emerging CIOs in India, I
have been successful in driving large-scale enterprise-wide
Digital Transformation Programs leveraging Artificial
Intelligence and Advanced Analytics. While building and
maximizing efficiency in delivering Customer Experience
and driving data-driven decisions, I have been an expert
advisor to 50+ CXOs from Fortune 500 Organizations.
Past 16 plus years of hands-on client-facing experience at a
senior management level leading mid to large-sized
geographically distributed Engineering and Professional
Services Team has provided me the opportunity to play the
leadership roles of setting up new practices and growing
them to large member organizations.
Being an avid learner with a strong background in
leveraging technology for enabling enterprises, I have
leveraged a collaborative leadership style in driving CXO
engagements, strengthening relationships with key
stakeholders, handling IT financials, monitoring budgets,
and ensuring cost control. This has helped me to be a team
builder and mentor, leading cross-functional teams and
developing capabilities of technology teams in achieving
functional and business objectives.
What was your inspiration behind being a distinguished
business leader in the technology solutions domain?
There is no perfect way to get inspiration. It is profoundly
personal and originates from what is important to you and
what runs you. But no matter where you find it, it is often
an essential part of what keeps you going when times get
tough.
I think what encourages me the most is our customers’
feedback. I specifically set aside time to gather customer
feedback and outlooks; reading the positive testimonials, of
course, is remarkable, but I also get a lot of value from the
things that we can improve on. Through these customer
interactions, I get inspired to do things better, change things
and develop technology solutions based on that feedback.
That inspires me every day.
What were the initial challenges that you had to
surmount to ensure your business’s success rate reached
greater heights?
