World
While being digital, every modern business needs
as many digital POS as possible to receive
payments from all its worldwide customers
anytime and anywhere. Although creating those touch-
points and making all the infrastructure underneath them
secure, seamless, and simple means a herculean task, that
can only be achieved if partnered with Lyra India, the most
trusted partner for all online payment requisites, as is being
realized by thousands of businesses globally.
Lyra’s Co-founder, CEO and MD, Mr Rajesh Desai,
insists that they are always at the forefront to provide you
with the best offer. “We provide solutions to help you foster
your local and international business successfully,” he
adds.
Lyra India has been established as a leader in securing e-
commerce and POS payments, standing amongst the most
preferred partners for financial establishments since 2007.
Lyra’s vision is to build and offer relevant, dependable, and
secure solutions to facilitate digital payments. Lyra takes
pride in stating that the venture was the very first under the
Fintech industry banner in India to introduce secure
connections with an intelligent platform for Point of Sales
(POS) terminals with 2G/3G/4G and PSTN technology
which proved to be a major disruptor in the use of POS in
India.
Lyra offers highly secure payment acceptance solutions like
Lyra EPOS, WhatsApp Payment Solution, SIM Solution,
POS routing solution, Payment switch, Soundbox solution,
Payment Gateway and many more. With an established
secure platform, Lyra complies with PCI DSS and TLS. All
the solutions offered by Lyra are meticulously tested,
proven, and used globally, making Lyra a well-
acknowledged digital payment solution provider. Lyra
differentiates itself as a robust and stand-alone payment
service provider owning the entire ecosystem with no third-
party dependency, resulting in fewer hops and ensuring
efficient, secure, and frictionless transactions.
Invincibly the Secure Most Solutions
In a world where accepting digital payments is becoming a
necessary requisite, managing digital transactions daily can
be quite a headache for businesses, irrespective of their
type. Every business is unique in its customer base and
requirements. But, creating a successful fintech payment
processing system is more than just offering a seamless
mode of accepting digital payments. Rajesh says, “We want
our solutions to be compatible with merchant requirements
and scalable for every merchant setup in the most efficient
way.” With the vision to build and offer relevant, reliable
and secure solutions to facilitate digital payments, Lyra has
developed multiple mainstreams as well as added services
and solutions catering to various business needs.
Lyra offers several payment services with advanced
solutions to banks, facilitators, and e-commerce platforms
alike. Lyra is actively working in the sectors like Payment
Gateway Services, Banking Solutions, and White Label
Solutions. Lyra also offers highly secure payment
acceptance solutions like Lyra SoundBox, EPOS, SIM
Solution, POS Routing Solution, Payment Switch,
WhatsApp Payment Solution, and many more add-on
innovative services in the payment processing field and
paytech solutions for banks and FinTechs.
Lyra’s cutting-edge technology reduces transaction time and
enables cost savings for its users, ensuring complete data

security to acquirers and acting as a single gateway to
handle multiple connections and protocols.
Lyra is focused on secure transaction routing services
through multi-brand POS terminals. Lyra offers multi-
operator SIM cards optimized for POS terminals as per
business requirements. With a private and end-to-end secure
APN, Lyra's gateway facilitates complete management of
the POS fleet. Adding to its benefits, the Point of Sales SIM
Solution offers merchants excellent security and uninter-
rupted connectivity for every transaction. This solution is
specially developed to provide connectivity with various
network connections, namely, GPRS, PSTN, IP, Secured
SWITCH software, 3G and 4G, LAN, and Wi-Fi. Lyra's
Payment Switch saves merchants from connectivity and
security issues by dynamically routing payment transactions
between the acquirer and payment service provider,
revamping the transaction success rate.
Incredibly the Most Advanced Technology
One of the key strengths of Lyra is NAC, a highly secure
and powerful server that provides seamless communication
to the merchants' banks without any glitches. With the
exclusive EFT/POS transaction gateway owned by Lyra, it
is possible to receive and transfer any transaction flow
securely from any POS terminal and connect it to any
network (PSTN/GPRS/ADSL) with any existing transaction
protocol.
Lyra also developed LUMA or Lyra Update Manager, a
responsive application combined with the web portal that
enables supervision and operation of the merchant’s entire
fleet of POS terminals in real-time. Along with LUMA,
Lyra's OptiNet also helps payment terminals with network
optimization by switching (automatically or manually) to
the most efficient mobile network, depending on the
terminal's location. OptiNet sends data to the gateway in
real-time to quickly visualize and diagnose the status of
available mobile networks.
The current market requires a technology that will act as a
middleware between POS and card network enabling any
3rd party POS Systems with a broad range of direct
payment processing interfaces and, at the same time, will
offer seamless integration and maintain compliance scope.
Lyra implemented this idea through the recently launched
Lyra's End-to-end POS Solution. End-to-end being the
keyword, once the transaction is initiated, Lyra will take
forward the transaction process securely and smoothly
without any glitches or any third-party involvement making
it more secure.
Lyra India is also part of many turnkey projects like rural
POS connectivity for India Posts, secure connectivity to
process financial transactions for metro rail, POS connectiv-
ity for major banks, connectivity for bank branches, etc.
Incidentally, The Most Transformational Leadership
Rajesh made a life-transforming decision when he started
his journey with Lyra Network. After working for many
years in various countries and getting exposed to multiple
markets, cultures, and traditions, Rajesh returned to his
native country to make Lyra Network successful in India.
Associated with Lyra Network from Day One since August
2007, over the years and many obstacles later, his great
supervision and unmatched persistence to reach goals
helped Lyra pick a pace to grow in India. With 27+ years of
experience and field expertise, he is a result-driven and
value-oriented leader specializing in developing marketing
strategies, product marketing, alliance marketing, marketing
communications, and demand generation.
He comes from a techno-functional background and has a
proven record of building, nurturing, and leading high-
performance goals, improving service standards, contribut-
ing to cost optimization, and bringing innovation with an
extreme passion for registering inorganic growth and profit.
India always welcomes new technologies with an open
mind.
The same applies to digital payments. With more people
opting for digital options, penetration of mobile devices,
and increased usage of various digital payment solutions
like debit, credit, prepaid, e-purse, ATM, and POS cards, it
Lyra offers highly secure payment
acceptance solutions like Lyra EPOS,
WhatsApp Payment Solution,
SIM Solution, POS Routing Solution,
Payment Switch, Soundbox Solution,
Payment Gateway and many more.

felt that why not try to offer a better and safer environment
to boost the digital advancement. Keeping this in mind and
considering the evident signs that India will go under
massive digital transformations, he entered fintech via the
Lyra Network field with Lyra SIM Solutions, a crucial part
of Lyra’s POS solutions offerings. And the rest is history!
Innovatively The Widest Network
Many small offices, banks, micro ATMs, AEPS POS
machines, payment POS machines, ultra-small bank
branches, and ATMs rely on Lyra for last-mile connectivity
solutions. Using mobile POS machines, many banking
business correspondents are using Lyra Connect to deliver
banking and financial services in rural areas.
Today, Lyra has enabled 16,00,000 POS on its platform.
With the successful accomplishment of many significant
projects like rural POS connectivity for India Posts, secure
connectivity to process financial transactions for metro rail,
POS connectivity for major banks, and connectivity for
bank branches, Lyra is Processing 16 million connections
per day, Lyra manages over 1,20,000 e-merchants and over
14,00,000 POS terminals.
According to Rajesh, India’s Fintech sector has undergone a
paradigm shift in the past two decades, and for the last few
years, it has been on an upward growth trajectory. The role
of technology has grown from being a mere cog in the
strategic framework of companies to driving, shaping, and
redefining business models and revenue streams. FinTech
innovations have been at the forefront of tech disruptions in
recent years. Technology drivers like biometric authentica-
tion, cryptocurrency, virtual and augmented reality, AI, ML,
voice processing, etc. These drivers are certain to take the
digital payment space to new heights. These technologies
are not only taking part in digital payment acceptance but
also in front and back-end development of payment
solutions.
The rise of digital commerce, innovation in payments
technology using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain,
Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time payments, and the
introduction of mobile Point of Sale (POS) devices and QR
has led to a reduction in the cost of acceptance
infrastructure and also contributed to its growth.
Intelligently the Smartest Revolutionary
Artificial Intelligence(AI) is making tremendous progress in
the payment processing industry, and payment service
providers are launching and researching the products/
services that will change customer service to more on a
personal level. Technologies like IOT and big data are
playing a big role in this. These technologies can single-
handedly change the whole payment scenario and financial
services.
Lyra is also evolving with time. “We want to offer our
customers more innovative and end-to-end solutions and
services,” says Rajesh. With India's digital payments
expanding beyond boundaries, Lyra plans to introduce more
seamless and secure payment acceptance solutions. As one
of India's leading payment solutions, Lyra will continue to
play a leading role in achieving India’s dream of becoming
a five trillion economy and no-cash society.
Rajesh believes that where there is innovation, there are
challenges. The main challenge is awareness of digital
payments. People are aware of them, but their knowledge is
limited. The most threatening and fearsome challenge is
fraud and chargeback. “As a payment service provider, we
ensure that our clients know the procedure and common
causes of fraud.”
11 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
The Strongest Infrastructural Foundation
The next challenge comes in the form of integration. India
is a land of entrepreneurs; nowadays, many businesses
promote their business on their websites. For businesses to
accept digital payments via their websites, it is necessary to
have a payment gateway integrated. But not all business
owners have knowledge about the integration. Lyra always
makes sure that the client gets the basic information about
integrating. In conclusion, a lack of knowledge may lead to
all kinds of problems and challenges, but with proper
guidance, digital payments are as easy and secure as they
come.
The challenges under the guise of technology are always
imminent for any fintech. It is extremely necessary for a
payment solution provider to keep pace with changing
innovations. Lyra faced the formidable challenge of
sourcing the right field experts at the right time for the right
designations. But Lyra overcame this challenge slowly but
surely, and today what once was a one-person army with
shared cornered office stands with multiple office spaces
and a large family of field expert individuals!
Another challenge was to keep pace with ever-changing
customer requirements and offer a flexible solution that can
withstand the trials of time! It was challenging to provide
dynamic solutions with the highest possible support. Still,
Lyra invested a great amount of time and effort to
strengthen its infrastructure, and as a result, today, with its
two full-fledged robust active-active data centres at
Mumbai and Bangalore, capable of handling a disaster
recovery situation at any time.
The Most Optimistic Advice
In his advice to budding professionals who aspire to venture
into the POS industry, Rajesh says that while it's true that
young professionals may face unique challenges, they also
come with many rewarding opportunities for personal and
professional development. With ongoing innovations and
new technologies, India has a thriving POS market. You
must believe in what you do with passion and, most of all,
make sure you enjoy this journey and have some fun along
the way. Perseverance and intelligence are your allies; use
them to your advantage and keep working toward your
goals. And while it's valuable to stay focused on your goals,
you have to remain open to unforeseen opportunities.
On envisioning scaling Lyra India’s operations and
offerings in the future, Rajesh reveals that, being one of the
leading payment solutions in India, Lyra envisions expand-
ing its presence by providing multiple offerings in the
dynamic payment domain.
A Financially All Inclusive Future
With plans to collaborate with banks, merchants, FinTech,
and the government as an active connectivity partner, Lyra
is developing innovative paytech solutions. “We expect to
see the expansion of not only offerings in terms of
resources, customer base, and partners, but Lyra is also
looking forward to expanding the Lyra family by incorpo-
rating field experts from various backgrounds.”
With new solutions and innovations, Lyra will do its best to
maintain perseverance with the strategies that have helped
the company grow.
Lyra enjoys a major POS market share due to risk manage-
ment tools and a strong hold over mobile and electronic
payments. Since the company's establishment in India, Lyra
Network has accompanied leading Indian banks as a
crusader in driving digital payments in India.
Lyra Network also bagged the contract to equip Indian
postmen with point of sale (PoS) machines that will help
pay for a parcel with plastic money cards. “We are also very
proud of our Last mile connectivity project,” he adds. The
project is made to solve transaction processing problems in
rural India. For this solution, Lyra has been awarded the
Most Promising Financial Inclusion Program at Global
Fintech Awards 2022.
Lyra has bagged numerous awards for its innovative
solutions and is recognized as one of the most preferred
partners for financial establishments.

Omkar Prasad
Baidya A Samaritan for Holistically
Universal Harmony
Dr Omkar Prasad
Baidya
ESI Medical Institute,
Joka, Kolkata
Physician, Author and
Assistant Professor
14 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
Life’s philosophy is working at universal scale
reflecting in the cosmic brain to mirror the eternal
morality existing beyond the human mind. Dr
Omkar Prasad Baidya, is on a mission of national
development by finding philosophical and scientific
solutions to the profoundly reflective problems of human
progress with futuristic sustainability and holistically
universal harmony.
Dr Omkar is a Physician, Author and Assistant Professor
at the ESI Medical College, Joka, Kolkata, India. He
earned his MBBS from RIMS, Imphal in 2009 and his MD-
PhD in Physiology from KGMU, Lucknow from 2013 to
2019. He became an Assistant Professor at the medical
college in 2016 and has published several papers on stroke
biomarkers and other medical topics.
“I am a Physician and a Medical Researcher. I wish to
connect the world and my dream for nation building is my
mission and for that, I’m on a path to world peace,” says Dr
Omkar.
Mission Intelligence
Dr Omkar believes that humans are nature's finest creation.
God endowed humans with highly developed brains.
Human beings can think rationally and creatively, work for
spiritual development, have a scientific attitude, show
spiritual values, and have spiritual and emotional intelli-
gence with the help of this developed brain.
Human beings can do moral thinking and moral behaviour,
distinguish between right and wrong and think and act in
favour of mankind or human development with the help of
a developed brain. God created humans with a developed
prefrontal cortex (PFC) part of the brain, which allows
humans to develop self-consciousness, connect to a higher
self, or even to God, and add human virtues and spiritual
values to their character.
Humans can comprehend the meaning of their life on this
planet, as well as God’s mission to make this planet a better
place to live, to spread the message of universal love and
brotherhood, and to emphasize the importance of virtues in
human life. With the passage of time, humans can compre-
hend the significance of spirituality and spiritual values in
adding divinity to their lives. Human beings gradually learn
the value of doing work and acting in accordance with
righteousness and justice. He understands that in order to
make this world a better place to live, every human action
must be justified in terms of human benefit, mankind, and
human development, as well as the benefit of all living
creatures.
A Personification of Excellence
Dr Omkar is a member of the NYAS, SAGES, Epilepsy
Foundation of the United States, World Society of Interdis-
ciplinary Antiaging Medicine, British Physiological
Society, and European Atherosclerosis Society. Dr Omkar
did his certification from Harvard Medical School, Yale
University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine, and Vanderbilt University in the
United States.
He has written books on moral philosophy, universal ethics,
human virtues, human morality, and beyond, and has also
been honoured with:

Morality Beyond Human Brain: A Philosophical and
Scientific Exploration
In this book, Dr Omkar integrates his philosophy on human
morality with the mathematical model and scientific
aptitude. He also explains various components of human
morality and how these components can play important role
in the survival of human beings on the planet earth. He also
adds that even cells of our human body do have morality to
some extent which guides them to do moral behaviour
towards the biological system of the living organism.
When the world sees many events, such as a lack of peace,
violence, clashes, and so on, it is because of a lack of
human virtues and morality. With time, our spiritual leaders
and moral philosophers will recognize the significance of

human values, human virtues, and human morality as
solutions to many human problems and human civilization.
Dr Omakr examined human morality from both scientific
and philosophical perspectives. He attempted to investigate
the concept of human morality from both perspectives.
Furthermore, he has introduced a mathematical model of
human morality from which various philosophical aspects
of human morality can be very clearly explained and
visualized.
Furthermore, Dr Omkar believes that human morality can
be the solution to all human problems and that its concepts
can be scientific and logically explained through mathemat-
ics, which can focus clearly on human morality by provid-
ing it with a scientific background. He has also focused on
the philosophical concept of human morality and how
science and mathematics can better explain philosophical
ideas.
Furthermore, it demonstrates how human morality can be
used to solve many human problems and explain the
existence of life on Earth.
“When we see many incidents, wars, violence, human rights
violations, poverty, and sufferings that threaten global
peace, I want to emphasize my life philosophy in resolving
many basic human problems. I believe that humans should
understand the significance of their creation by God. To
value all of God's creation, we must understand how to
value all of God's and Mother Nature's lives. I believe that
now is the time to establish a life philosophy that supports
universal ethics for all living creatures. I've also demon-
strated how religion plays an important role in the estab-
lishment of universal ethics for all,” says Dr Omkar.
Furthermore, human virtues, in my opinion, can play an
important role in the establishment of world peace as well
as in the resolution of many problems confronting humanity
and human civilization.
Universal Ethics and World Peace: My Philosophy of
Life
God created humans from their ancestors, primates that
evolved through the process of evolution. Human beings
are God's best creation because they have self-
consciousness, can understand God's influence in their
lives, have a connection with their higher self, have
spiritual consciousness, and have scientific intelligence and
creativity, which leads to scientific innovation and
technological breakthroughs that make the planet a better
place to live.
All of this is possible because humans have a highly
developed neocortex, or prefrontal cortex, in their brains.
Human beings have emotional intelligence, which allows
them to feel the emotions of others, as well as spiritual
intelligence, which guides them to the path of spiritual
enlightenment and can even aid in the shaping of human
civilization. Human beings have the ability to learn, to
understand natural laws and their relationship with nature.
Dr Omakr says, “God created humans with the intention of
doing karma in order to purify our existence, learn about it,
and return to the eternal God after our work on Earth is
completed.
According to spirituality, the human body is composed of
the soul, which is a component of the supreme soul, i.e.,
God. After our purpose and work on Earth are completed,
our soul will return to be integrated with the supreme soul,
Dr Omkar has written books on
moral philosophy, universal ethics,
human virtues, human morality,
and beyond, and has also been
honoured with numerous awards.
16 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
i.e., God. God has sent everyone to the planet Earth with a
purpose, and it is our responsibility to complete that duty or
purpose before leaving the earth's surface.”
God created humans with the purpose of spreading the
divine message, maintaining world peace, and making the
earth a better place to live. God has provided sufficient
scientific and spiritual intelligence to complete this life
mission.
He adds, “However, as with rapid civilizational progress
and rapid modernization, we prioritize material advance-
ment and scientific achievement over spiritual development.
But, over time, we created a society and civilization that
prioritized power, economy, and status over spiritual
values.”
Human beings become distracted from the true purpose of
life as a result of the desire for more power, the economy,
and factors such as ego, anger, and hatred. Instead, men and
nations begin to wage war, commit violence and harm
others, and we gradually lose our spiritual and moral
values.
Though man created the term “religion” for his spiritual
advancement, with the influence and permission of the
supreme Godhead, to spread universal love and brotherhood
throughout the world, and to connect with God. “And to
know his greatness and to guide us to the path of spiritual
enlightenment, but as time passes, narrow religious beliefs
die, and differences in religious ideology develop, leading
to violent conflict, communal wars, and other threats to
world peace,” he states.
As a result, the time has come to create a universal religion
for world peace and universal ethics for all. Human virtues
are crucial in shaping human civilization. Human virtues
are a collection of qualities that shape human life in a
divine way, as well as human civilization and make him
suitable for fulfilling the true purpose of life. Human virtues
are critical in establishing peace on this planet. “Human
beings are intelligent and rational in comparison to all
other living creatures, but we should not harm others and
should instead use our talents and intelligence ethically.”
To achieve societal development, talent must be combined
with values. Human virtues have the power to transform all
people into ethical and spiritual beings.
According to Dr Omkar, nature has endowed all living
creatures with intrinsic morality and intrinsic immorality,
which play critical roles in the survival and existence of life
on Earth. Furthermore, human extrinsic morality can be
acquired through moral education, moral philosophy,
spiritual and human values, and so on. Finally, he adds that

or quickly growing businesses, their leaders find it
Fchallenging to manage their finances, investments,

Brief us about yourself and shed some light on your
professional tenure.
I am a commerce graduate from Delhi University and a
post-graduate diploma from NIFT, New Delhi. With
performance as my passion, I have been privileged to have
joined the Million Dollar club each year. I observed the
finance industry closely. It included the sectors of Banking,
Insurance, stock trading, commodities, and real estate.
I have trained many advisors who made a beeline to learn
from a high-profile performer. All trainees wanted to take
lessons from the horse’s mouth rather than get trained under
a theoretician. I nurtured the practical approach of looking
at business finance and offered solutions that helped the
clients check the unnecessary stagnation of funds.
Developing a reputation in the insurance field of
Hyderabad. I slowly expanded my services to incorporate a
complete gamut of wealth and finance management.
What USPs make you stand out as a leading Financial
Advisory Firm?
During my initial days, I focused on each customer and
worked with dedication and care, giving them good returns.
Slowly with my success in offering visible returns through
safe planning, I could garner trust steadily. Trust, since
then, has become the watchword of Wealth Munshi.
Trust in giving the right advice to the customer. Trust in
projecting the precise financial growth based on economic
forecast, correcting and redesigning the portfolio, and
continuously monitoring the portfolio. Our scientific
approach to the client’s requirements and detailed
discussion in understanding their risk appetite has made us
customize financial solutions for our customers.
What are the immersive benefits of your services to your
clients?

savings, and present plans. We identify their financial goals
and create saving and investment solutions. We help them
reach their objectives.
Moreover, our scientific method scrutinizes their expenses.
We help them identify the unnecessary leakages happening
unknowingly due to a lack of knowledge or not taking
timely actions. We have offered safe and rewarding
solutions. We delivered to our clients the most required
peace of mind and the satisfaction of growing their wealth
steadily.
What were the initial challenges after venturing into the
Financial Advisory field, and what are the challenges
now?
There were several challenges in my journey. The
competition was very stiff. For a single individual with
limited financial resources was set to compete with a
Goliath of Banks and large institutions. The credibility of a
new businessman was extremely low. The general belief
was that the larger the institution, the better the service.
It was difficult to convince the first customer that I would
put my heart and soul into their service. It was a matter of
survival for me. My future largely depended on how well I
will make the wealth growth of the first customer. The first
few customers accepted the challenge. They gave me the
opportunity. And I had taken the challenge and gave them
rich rewards.
There was a time when all investments, whether in
Insurance, Mutual funds, FDs, or succession planning, had
to be done manually. It involved long hours of work.
Several customers had to be serviced at one time. The team
of Sanghi Consultancy had a tough job at hand. All
customer orders had to be completed on priority. No
customer likes to hear that his order has been delayed. We
made every customer believe they were the only client
Sanghi Consultancy was working for. This feeling of
priority did create lasting bonds with the customers.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how
technology is transforming the Financial Advisory
sector and what advancements we can expect in the
future.
With more than 2000 customers in different categories, it
wasn't easy to manage all the requirements. I undertook the
herculean task of developing independent software, which
today stands out as superlative customer service. Any
specialized software takes much effort with very stiff
challenges of time and cost. There was a clarity that growth
would come only from service. Service comes only with
software technology.
An annual report is given to each client on the performance
and growth of their investments. Wealth Munshi also gives
them a projection of the financial status in the next 20-30
years. And advice on where they have to tighten their belts
for a smooth flow of fund requirements in future.
Today, Wealth Munshi has further advanced into Artificial
Intelligence and Machine learning, which they hope will
give the customers a new Portfolio Management
experience.
For speed of communication with all clients of Wealth
Munshi is managed by ZOHO. All replies to customer
queries are made at breakneck speed. It is an incredible
experience for every customer. Wealth Munshi has already
commenced Cloud computing backed with blockchain
partner experience, where all the client documents are
secured, stored on the cloud, and can be retrieved at any
time.
Now Wealth Munshi boasts of speed, accuracy, and trust.
Today there is paperless working. Every investor, however
big or small, is given the same priority and dedicated
service. Every investor is a lifetime friend. The members
are a part of the large and growing family of Wealth
Munshi.
Wealth Munshi is continuously scouting for new
technological developments. There is a desire to lead the
Fintech tech race in this financial sector advisory services.
At Wealth Munshi,
we boast of three things:
Speed, Accuracy, and Trust.
The Dynamic Business Personalities Changing the Business World
20 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
What would be your advice to the aspirants willing to
venture into the field of Financial Advisory niche?
I advise all young professionals to learn about all the
financial instruments and avenues in the market.
Understand the benefits and limitations of each thoroughly.
While dealing with any customer, first listen to what they
have to say and their financial goals. Please get to know
more about their current provisions. Then customize your
solutions in such a way that will help them reap decent
returns on their investments. Update and inform the clients
regularly on the developments happening in their portfolios.
How do you envision scaling the firm’s scope and
offerings in future?

We are currently one of the fast-growing software
development companies in Kerala. Beginning with just
three members, we have grown to 30 plus dedicated
member team. We are also diversifying our offerings to the
latest technologies like AI, Metaverse, and Blockchain.
Our constant vision and adaptability to change have led us
here. We had only one motto: we would provide high-
quality solutions to our clients with no room for complaint.
It is this quality of ours that drew clients to us. We were
always looking for changes in the real world because we
don’t believe in beating around the bush. Because the
information technology sector is always prone to changes
and new advancements, we are growing alongside it as the
quality of our work should be at the highest level.
Even though it was a significant challenge for us to achieve
this level of perfection, it was our vision to be one of the
world’s leading software solution providers. We have
clients from all over the world, including the Middle East,
the United States, and others. Our current working space is
entirely in Kerala, but in a few months, we will open a new
office in Dubai to expand our services to more countries.
Tell us more about your organization’s offering and
what aspects make it stand out in the cutthroat
competition.
We offer all types of custom software solutions like:
Mobile Application Development
Web application development
SEO and Digital Marketing
E-commerce solutions
Business intelligence software solutions
ERP/CRM Solutions
We focus on providing high-quality solutions and have
always met or exceeded our clients’ expectations. Several
players appear in the IT industry and end up closing their
companies within one or two years because they fail to
fulfill the promises made to their clients. With over eight
years of experience, we have worked with a wide range of
clients worldwide, successfully delivering products that
exceeded their expectations. As I previously stated, you can
start a business and run it for one or two years, but to stay
in the industry for more than eight years, you must add
value to your customers.
We’re also working hard to make our team more productive
and skilled. For that, we hire people with the necessary
skills and knowledge and provide them with intensive
training although they are qualified. With this, we have
established a solid foundation upon which all other factors
can be built. We have grown as a well-known software
solutions provider solely due to our strong determination,
focused vision, and desire to dare and achieve.
Our ready-to-go approach, expertise, and high-quality work
enabled us to collaborate with world-class organizations
such as “MediaLink,” a leading US-based strategic
marketing solution company, “PayTabs,” a leading payment
gateway provider in the Middle East, and others.
Tell us about Pixbit services’ immersive benefits offered
to its clients.
One of the most difficult challenges in this industry is
training resources and providing clients with high-quality
solutions. We distinguish ourselves from our competitors by
providing our global partners with high-quality professional
solutions within their budgets. To accomplish this, we hire
highly skilled resources and train them to bring them up to
our high-quality software development standards, even if
they have prior experience in their respective fields.

Aside from making our clients happy and satisfied, we
guarantee them high-quality, goal-oriented work. One of the
clients’ main concerns would be their timeline. We value
our clients’ time and concerns above all else. We
consistently work on projects with no excuses and deliver
them on time with their requirements. Making our team
efficient at the highest professional standards, we never fail
to deliver things on time.
Being only focused on work and professional standards, our
clients won’t have to fear about their budget. Apart from
that, we assure them of the top-notch quality of our
products so that they do not have to worry about it too.
As we are always adaptable to new changes, our clients
won’t have to be concerned about the adaptabilities to the
changes too. We are constantly working on getting adapted
to the latest changes and advancements so that we can
ensure our clients fulfill their all-time requirements.
Please brief us about your journey and contribution to
ensuring Pixbit IT Solutions excels in its niche.
I began my career as a software developer after receiving
my BTech from Calicut University in 2012. I started
developing web applications and later expanded my
knowledge to include mobile application development.
During this time, I had the opportunity to manage projects
and communicate with clients to collect project
requirements and provide proper updates at each stage of
development. Business leaders, I met and worked with
frequently complimented me on my communication and
entrepreneurial abilities. It was then that I began
considering myself a businessman. I always had a bigger
picture in mind and was willing to go to any length to
achieve it.
In 2014, I co-founded Pixbit Solutions with Mr Shafi (CTO,
Pixbit Solutions) and Mr Nidhin (COO, Pixbit Solutions).
As CEO, I oversaw forecasting and executing the business.
I utilized my business skills to help the company to bring in
high-potential clients and attract steady growth over the
years. My software development background helped me
communicate and understand client requirements and
suggest best-in-class technology solutions to clients, which
allowed the company works with innovative clients like
‘PayTabs,’ a leading payment gateway provider in the
Middle East.
Molding the team at the right level and managing them with
the other co-founders, I was building the best quality
software solution provider company of my dreams. My
skills in dealing with clients have attracted the organization
to the company and its services.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how
adopting modern technologies like AI and ML impacts
the business sector and how Pixbit adapts to the change.
Large corporations invest heavily in research, particularly
in modern technologies such as AI, Blockchain, and
Machine Learning (ML).
Open AI, a leading AI company, recently launched a
solution called ChatGPT, and everyone is talking about it
and looking for new opportunities by utilizing this new
technology. We are also broadening our solutions to these
modern technologies and investigating opportunities to
assist business owners in improving their businesses and
offerings. We are currently working with a leading Middle
Eastern company on a Real Estate project that will use AI to
provide advanced data-driven solutions to their clients.
As I previously stated, one of our visions was to be
adaptable to changes and advancements. By this, we assure
our clients get the most advanced version of products. As
modern technologies like AI and ML are in their initial
stages, we are in constant research of how we could
implement this to our level of work. Planning strategies and
research on how to implement them technically are going
on. As advancements like AI has taken over many sectors,
we are utilizing its capabilities like machine learning, deep
learning, natural language processing, etc., and we believe
that advancements like AI and ML will play a crucial part in
everyone’s life in the coming years.
Considering the current industry scenario, what
challenges do you face, and how do you drive Pixbit to
overcome them?
Hiring skilled resources was the main challenge that every
technology company faced in the last one or two years, and
COVID played an important role in this. We overcame this
by onboarding good resources and providing highly curated
training, which played a significant role in our company’s
growth over the years. Our welcoming work environment
attracts highly skilled candidates, and we hire high-potential
candidates and train them to ensure that we do not face a
28 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
skilled resource shortage. We provide high-quality training
and resources to those seeking personal growth. A field like
IT requires people like these. Another issue is the
unexpected increase in IT spending. We needed to cut costs
and expenses while maintaining productivity and
effectiveness.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
aspiring to venture into the Kerala business skyline?
To excel in business, you must be eager to learn about the
latest market trends and be enthusiastic about what you do.
Without passion, it is impossible to be fully committed and
achieve high-end goals. So work with love so that your
heart is present in everything you do.
Lack of focus is why many entrepreneurs fail on their
journey. When you look at all successful entrepreneurs, you
will notice that they are very focused on what they do and
constantly learning about current market trends. If you stay
focused, set attainable goals, and work toward them, you
will succeed in your journey.
Another thing to remember is always take calculated risks
and have a backup plan for every new step. Everything will
not go as planned, and it may fail. Always look for
alternatives. Learn from failures, correct your mistakes the
next time, and get back on your feet.
Kerala is an excellent place to launch your business. Many
startups have begun their journey in Kerala. The Kerala
startup ecosystem, promoted by the Kerala government,
gave birth to Open Financial Technologies, a Unicorn and
Asia’s first neobank. Startup ecosystems, such as Kerala
Startup Mission, promote startups and provide funds for
implementing innovative ideas, as well as mentoring young
entrepreneurs to start and run their businesses.
How do you envision scaling Pixbit’s operations and
offerings in the future?
We recently opened a larger development center in Gov.
Cyberpark, Kozhikode, with a capacity of 60+ members.
We also exhibited at GITEX Global this year and had a
booth there.
By attending GITEX, we made many contacts from the
Middle East and Africa region. We are opening a new office
in Dubai to expand our services and offerings to our
partners in the Middle East and Africa, onboarding new
clients to our portfolio.
In addition, we have received interest from leading
investors in Kerala and the Middle East in investing in our
company and promoting our offerings and services to
additional markets such as Europe and Africa. We are close
to closing these deals, which we hope to do this fiscal year.

Businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals strive
to increase business efficiency through process
improvements, resource optimization,
technological advancements, and effective financial
management. Finance is one of the most important
functions that must be managed with proper care, planning,
arrangement, and investment provisions. Because the
business load is vast, ever-increasing, and demanding, in-
house finance teams have limitations.
There is a need for professional financial advisors and
wealth managers who can handle portfolio planning,
management, tax consultation, stock portfolios, wealth
management, asset management, and equity on their own.

drawdowns when markets are choppy. Prosperity happens
when people are confident of staying invested in good
equities over longer time frames. Our best financial
advisory and Wealth Management services are designed to
help clients make informed investment decisions based on
their long-term financial goals. Our models have been

What are the three most critical problems
businesses face in the digital era?
According to an exemplary IT leader and industry expert,
Sonal Singh, the Director of Fixdax Technology Pvt. Ltd.,
ever-advancing technological solutions, people solutions,
and their provision with speed to the market have been
identified as the three most crucial issues.
To solve these problems, Sonal established Fixdax in 2015
as a business solutions-based company. He shares, “With
our customer-oriented services, we take care of all you need
to be successful in the market. We provide you with proven
solutions on how best to attract customers and keep them.”
He furthers that at Fixdax, he and his team know precisely
what makes their customers happy and are ready to bring
that to the table. Their several years of experience in the
market have exposed them to understanding the customer's
behaviour concerning what they want and how they want it.
“Our team of professionals has been trained to speak and
understand the customer's language. We connect with them
at their level and present them with your products to satisfy
them,” he adds.
He claims they are product and people-oriented; they take
the little information you provide to them and transform it
into wonderful resources which will wow your customers
and keep your employees on their toes. “Our team of
specialists is available round the clock to resolve your
complaint and provide actionable solutions. At Fixdax, we
have got you covered,” he insists.

types of clients' business needs. He says, “We are very much

Sonal adds, “Our services can be customized according to
your requirement (you can have any work done by us). We
see our business as an extension of client business.”
Adapting to the Changing Situations
According to him, the world of technology is changing very
rapidly. So, clients’ business needs are also changing as
technology is changing. To make pace with the changing
technology, they have updated themselves. Prior their focus
was on solutions, but now it has changed from solution to
sustainable solution and future problem finding and solving
it in the present.
Sonal reveals that his journey in the business world was not
pre-decided. He was working as an employee like others.
But after seeing the work scenario, he decided to do his
own business. “He thought, what worst could happen
besides failure that would give him experience, and if
success happened, it would add to more responsibility. So
his journey was very organic. No support from anyone. He
had no investor, nothing, just an idea of what he wanted to
do. Learning is part of the journey. Once you go on the
path, you know where obstacles are holding you back, what

and learning is still going on. “I think its life long process.”
He made Fixdax excel in its niche and still believes that
there are many more miles to go in this journey. “Our
journey has just started. We have to do many things, but I
believe five traits that have made us what we are today are,

no second plan.”

the problem we can solve by AI and ML, bringing experts
and setting up pilot projects for the same.”

face challenges and successfully overcome them to move
ahead. He believes that in today’s market, every client has
multiple choices to do business with. Also, it is a measured
challenge for them to make client associate with Fixdax for
the long term.
Exemplifying Future Dynamism
The major thing that they focus on that is being very
flexible and client-oriented operations. Because at the end
of the day, how much good you are in your capabilities, if
your client is not happy with you, then everything that you
do is just a waste of time and energy. “So, we focus on
client satisfaction with every touch point. We believe our
business is an extension of client work only.”

  • 10. While being digital, every modern business needs as many digital POS as possible to receive payments from all its worldwide customers anytime and anywhere. Although creating those touch- points and making all the infrastructure underneath them secure, seamless, and simple means a herculean task, that can only be achieved if partnered with Lyra India, the most trusted partner for all online payment requisites, as is being realized by thousands of businesses globally. Lyra’s Co-founder, CEO and MD, Mr Rajesh Desai, insists that they are always at the forefront to provide you with the best offer. “We provide solutions to help you foster your local and international business successfully,” he adds. Lyra India has been established as a leader in securing e- commerce and POS payments, standing amongst the most preferred partners for financial establishments since 2007. Lyra’s vision is to build and offer relevant, dependable, and secure solutions to facilitate digital payments. Lyra takes pride in stating that the venture was the very first under the Fintech industry banner in India to introduce secure connections with an intelligent platform for Point of Sales (POS) terminals with 2G/3G/4G and PSTN technology which proved to be a major disruptor in the use of POS in India.

Lyra differentiates itself as a robust and stand-alone payment service provider owning the entire ecosystem with no third- party dependency, resulting in fewer hops and ensuring efficient, secure, and frictionless transactions. Invincibly the Secure Most Solutions In a world where accepting digital payments is becoming a necessary requisite, managing digital transactions daily can be quite a headache for businesses, irrespective of their type. Every business is unique in its customer base and requirements. But, creating a successful fintech payment processing system is more than just offering a seamless mode of accepting digital payments.

Lyra offers multi- operator SIM cards optimized for POS terminals as per business requirements. With a private and end-to-end secure APN, Lyra's gateway facilitates complete management of the POS fleet. Adding to its benefits, the Point of Sales SIM Solution offers merchants excellent security and uninter- rupted connectivity for every transaction. This solution is specially developed to provide connectivity with various network connections, namely, GPRS, PSTN, IP, Secured SWITCH software, 3G and 4G, LAN, and Wi-Fi. Lyra's Payment Switch saves merchants from connectivity and security issues by dynamically routing payment transactions between the acquirer and payment service provider, revamping the transaction success rate. Incredibly the Most Advanced Technology One of the key strengths of Lyra is NAC, a highly secure and powerful server that provides seamless communication to the merchants' banks without any glitches. With the exclusive EFT/POS transaction gateway owned by Lyra, it is possible to receive and transfer any transaction flow securely from any POS terminal and connect it to any network (PSTN/GPRS/ADSL) with any existing transaction protocol. Lyra also developed LUMA or Lyra Update Manager, a responsive application combined with the web portal that enables supervision and operation of the merchant’s entire fleet of POS terminals in real-time. Along with LUMA, Lyra's OptiNet also helps payment terminals with network optimization by switching (automatically or manually) to the most efficient mobile network, depending on the terminal's location. OptiNet sends data to the gateway in real-time to quickly visualize and diagnose the status of available mobile networks. The current market requires a technology that will act as a middleware between POS and card network enabling any 3rd party POS Systems with a broad range of direct payment processing interfaces and, at the same time, will offer seamless integration and maintain compliance scope. Lyra implemented this idea through the recently launched Lyra's End-to-end POS Solution. End-to-end being the keyword, once the transaction is initiated, Lyra will take forward the transaction process securely and smoothly without any glitches or any third-party involvement making it more secure. Lyra India is also part of many turnkey projects like rural POS connectivity for India Posts, secure connectivity to process financial transactions for metro rail, POS connectiv- ity for major banks, connectivity for bank branches, etc. Incidentally, The Most Transformational Leadership Rajesh made a life-transforming decision when he started his journey with Lyra Network. After working for many years in various countries and getting exposed to multiple markets, cultures, and traditions, Rajesh returned to his native country to make Lyra Network successful in India. Associated with Lyra Network from Day One since August 2007, over the years and many obstacles later, his great supervision and unmatched persistence to reach goals helped Lyra pick a pace to grow in India.

He comes from a techno-functional background and has a proven record of building, nurturing, and leading high- performance goals, improving service standards, contribut- ing to cost optimization, and bringing innovation with an extreme passion for registering inorganic growth and profit. India always welcomes new technologies with an open mind. The same applies to digital payments. With more people opting for digital options, penetration of mobile devices, and increased usage of various digital payment solutions like debit, credit, prepaid, e-purse, ATM, and POS cards, it Lyra offers highly secure payment acceptance solutions like Lyra EPOS, WhatsApp Payment Solution, SIM Solution, POS Routing Solution, Payment Switch, Soundbox Solution, Payment Gateway and many more. 10 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com

Keeping this in mind and considering the evident signs that India will go under massive digital transformations, he entered fintech via the Lyra Network field with Lyra SIM Solutions, a crucial part of Lyra’s POS solutions offerings. And the rest is history! Innovatively The Widest Network Many small offices, banks, micro ATMs, AEPS POS machines, payment POS machines, ultra-small bank branches, and ATMs rely on Lyra for last-mile connectivity solutions. Using mobile POS machines, many banking business correspondents are using Lyra Connect to deliver banking and financial services in rural areas. Today, Lyra has enabled 16,00,000 POS on its platform. With the successful accomplishment of many significant projects like rural POS connectivity for India Posts, secure connectivity to process financial transactions for metro rail, POS connectivity for major banks, and connectivity for bank branches, Lyra is Processing 16 million connections per day, Lyra manages over 1,20,000 e-merchants and over 14,00,000 POS terminals. According to Rajesh, India’s Fintech sector has undergone a paradigm shift in the past two decades, and for the last few years, it has been on an upward growth trajectory. The role of technology has grown from being a mere cog in the strategic framework of companies to driving, shaping, and redefining business models and revenue streams. FinTech innovations have been at the forefront of tech disruptions in recent years. Technology drivers like biometric authentica- tion, cryptocurrency, virtual and augmented reality, AI, ML, voice processing, etc. These drivers are certain to take the digital payment space to new heights. These technologies are not only taking part in digital payment acceptance but also in front and back-end development of payment solutions. The rise of digital commerce, innovation in payments technology using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time payments, and the introduction of mobile Point of Sale (POS) devices and QR has led to a reduction in the cost of acceptance infrastructure and also contributed to its growth. Intelligently the Smartest Revolutionary Artificial Intelligence(AI) is making tremendous progress in the payment processing industry, and payment service providers are launching and researching the products/ services that will change customer service to more on a personal level. Technologies like IOT and big data are playing a big role in this. These technologies can single- handedly change the whole payment scenario and financial services. Lyra is also evolving with time. “We want to offer our customers more innovative and end-to-end solutions and services,” says Rajesh. With India's digital payments expanding beyond boundaries, Lyra plans to introduce more seamless and secure payment acceptance solutions. As one of India's leading payment solutions, Lyra will continue to play a leading role in achieving India’s dream of becoming a five trillion economy and no-cash society. Rajesh believes that where there is innovation, there are challenges. The main challenge is awareness of digital payments. People are aware of them, but their knowledge is limited. The most threatening and fearsome challenge is fraud and chargeback. “As a payment service provider, we ensure that our clients know the procedure and common causes of fraud.” 11 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
  • 14. The Strongest Infrastructural Foundation The next challenge comes in the form of integration. India is a land of entrepreneurs; nowadays, many businesses promote their business on their websites. For businesses to accept digital payments via their websites, it is necessary to have a payment gateway integrated. But not all business owners have knowledge about the integration. Lyra always makes sure that the client gets the basic information about integrating. In conclusion, a lack of knowledge may lead to all kinds of problems and challenges, but with proper guidance, digital payments are as easy and secure as they come. The challenges under the guise of technology are always imminent for any fintech. It is extremely necessary for a payment solution provider to keep pace with changing innovations. Lyra faced the formidable challenge of sourcing the right field experts at the right time for the right designations. But Lyra overcame this challenge slowly but surely, and today what once was a one-person army with shared cornered office stands with multiple office spaces and a large family of field expert individuals! Another challenge was to keep pace with ever-changing customer requirements and offer a flexible solution that can withstand the trials of time! It was challenging to provide dynamic solutions with the highest possible support. Still, Lyra invested a great amount of time and effort to strengthen its infrastructure, and as a result, today, with its two full-fledged robust active-active data centres at Mumbai and Bangalore, capable of handling a disaster recovery situation at any time. The Most Optimistic Advice In his advice to budding professionals who aspire to venture into the POS industry, Rajesh says that while it's true that young professionals may face unique challenges, they also come with many rewarding opportunities for personal and professional development. With ongoing innovations and new technologies, India has a thriving POS market. You must believe in what you do with passion and, most of all, make sure you enjoy this journey and have some fun along the way. Perseverance and intelligence are your allies; use them to your advantage and keep working toward your goals. And while it's valuable to stay focused on your goals, you have to remain open to unforeseen opportunities. On envisioning scaling Lyra India’s operations and offerings in the future, Rajesh reveals that, being one of the leading payment solutions in India, Lyra envisions expand- ing its presence by providing multiple offerings in the dynamic payment domain. A Financially All Inclusive Future With plans to collaborate with banks, merchants, FinTech, and the government as an active connectivity partner, Lyra is developing innovative paytech solutions. “We expect to see the expansion of not only offerings in terms of resources, customer base, and partners, but Lyra is also looking forward to expanding the Lyra family by incorpo- rating field experts from various backgrounds.” With new solutions and innovations, Lyra will do its best to maintain perseverance with the strategies that have helped the company grow. Lyra enjoys a major POS market share due to risk manage- ment tools and a strong hold over mobile and electronic payments. Since the company's establishment in India, Lyra Network has accompanied leading Indian banks as a crusader in driving digital payments in India. Lyra Network also bagged the contract to equip Indian postmen with point of sale (PoS) machines that will help pay for a parcel with plastic money cards. “We are also very proud of our Last mile connectivity project,” he adds. The project is made to solve transaction processing problems in rural India. For this solution, Lyra has been awarded the Most Promising Financial Inclusion Program at Global Fintech Awards 2022. Lyra has bagged numerous awards for its innovative solutions and is recognized as one of the most preferred partners for financial establishments. 12 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com

  • 17. Life’s philosophy is working at universal scale reflecting in the cosmic brain to mirror the eternal morality existing beyond the human mind. Dr Omkar Prasad Baidya, is on a mission of national development by finding philosophical and scientific solutions to the profoundly reflective problems of human progress with futuristic sustainability and holistically universal harmony. Dr Omkar is a Physician, Author and Assistant Professor at the ESI Medical College, Joka, Kolkata, India. He earned his MBBS from RIMS, Imphal in 2009 and his MD- PhD in Physiology from KGMU, Lucknow from 2013 to 2019. He became an Assistant Professor at the medical college in 2016 and has published several papers on stroke biomarkers and other medical topics. “I am a Physician and a Medical Researcher. I wish to connect the world and my dream for nation building is my mission and for that, I’m on a path to world peace,” says Dr Omkar. Mission Intelligence Dr Omkar believes that humans are nature's finest creation. God endowed humans with highly developed brains. Human beings can think rationally and creatively, work for spiritual development, have a scientific attitude, show spiritual values, and have spiritual and emotional intelli- gence with the help of this developed brain. Human beings can do moral thinking and moral behaviour, distinguish between right and wrong and think and act in favour of mankind or human development with the help of a developed brain. God created humans with a developed prefrontal cortex (PFC) part of the brain, which allows humans to develop self-consciousness, connect to a higher self, or even to God, and add human virtues and spiritual values to their character. Humans can comprehend the meaning of their life on this planet, as well as God’s mission to make this planet a better place to live, to spread the message of universal love and brotherhood, and to emphasize the importance of virtues in human life. With the passage of time, humans can compre- hend the significance of spirituality and spiritual values in adding divinity to their lives. Human beings gradually learn the value of doing work and acting in accordance with righteousness and justice. He understands that in order to make this world a better place to live, every human action must be justified in terms of human benefit, mankind, and human development, as well as the benefit of all living creatures. A Personification of Excellence Dr Omkar is a member of the NYAS, SAGES, Epilepsy Foundation of the United States, World Society of Interdis- ciplinary Antiaging Medicine, British Physiological Society, and European Atherosclerosis Society. Dr Omkar did his certification from Harvard Medical School, Yale University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Vanderbilt University in the United States. He has written books on moral philosophy, universal ethics, human virtues, human morality, and beyond, and has also been honoured with: Ÿ Dr BR Ambedkar National Award. Ÿ Dr BR Ambedkar International Award. Ÿ Mahatma Gandhi Nobel Peace Award. Ÿ Nelson Mandela Nobel Peace Award. Ÿ Bharat Bhushan Award. Ÿ Bharat Sree Award. Ÿ Bharat Vibhusan Award. Ÿ Asia Peace Prize.

Ÿ National Physics Olympiad 2003 State Topper. Ÿ Visharad in Tabla Instrumentation. Ÿ IAP Medical Quiz Topper, RIMS 2007, and Many More. Morality Beyond Human Brain: A Philosophical and Scientific Exploration In this book, Dr Omkar integrates his philosophy on human morality with the mathematical model and scientific aptitude. He also explains various components of human morality and how these components can play important role in the survival of human beings on the planet earth. He also adds that even cells of our human body do have morality to some extent which guides them to do moral behaviour towards the biological system of the living organism. When the world sees many events, such as a lack of peace, violence, clashes, and so on, it is because of a lack of human virtues and morality.

Dr Omakr examined human morality from both scientific and philosophical perspectives. He attempted to investigate the concept of human morality from both perspectives. Furthermore, he has introduced a mathematical model of human morality from which various philosophical aspects of human morality can be very clearly explained and visualized. Furthermore, Dr Omkar believes that human morality can be the solution to all human problems and that its concepts can be scientific and logically explained through mathemat- ics, which can focus clearly on human morality by provid- ing it with a scientific background. He has also focused on the philosophical concept of human morality and how science and mathematics can better explain philosophical ideas. Furthermore, it demonstrates how human morality can be used to solve many human problems and explain the existence of life on Earth. “When we see many incidents, wars, violence, human rights violations, poverty, and sufferings that threaten global peace, I want to emphasize my life philosophy in resolving many basic human problems. I believe that humans should understand the significance of their creation by God. To value all of God's creation, we must understand how to value all of God's and Mother Nature's lives. I believe that now is the time to establish a life philosophy that supports universal ethics for all living creatures. I've also demon- strated how religion plays an important role in the estab- lishment of universal ethics for all,” says Dr Omkar. Furthermore, human virtues, in my opinion, can play an important role in the establishment of world peace as well as in the resolution of many problems confronting humanity and human civilization. Universal Ethics and World Peace: My Philosophy of Life God created humans from their ancestors, primates that evolved through the process of evolution. Human beings are God's best creation because they have self- consciousness, can understand God's influence in their lives, have a connection with their higher self, have spiritual consciousness, and have scientific intelligence and creativity, which leads to scientific innovation and technological breakthroughs that make the planet a better place to live. All of this is possible because humans have a highly developed neocortex, or prefrontal cortex, in their brains. Human beings have emotional intelligence, which allows them to feel the emotions of others, as well as spiritual intelligence, which guides them to the path of spiritual enlightenment and can even aid in the shaping of human civilization. Human beings have the ability to learn, to understand natural laws and their relationship with nature. Dr Omakr says, “God created humans with the intention of doing karma in order to purify our existence, learn about it, and return to the eternal God after our work on Earth is completed. According to spirituality, the human body is composed of the soul, which is a component of the supreme soul, i.e., God. After our purpose and work on Earth are completed, our soul will return to be integrated with the supreme soul, Dr Omkar has written books on moral philosophy, universal ethics, human virtues, human morality, and beyond, and has also been honoured with numerous awards. 16 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
  • 19. i.e., God. God has sent everyone to the planet Earth with a purpose, and it is our responsibility to complete that duty or purpose before leaving the earth's surface.” God created humans with the purpose of spreading the divine message, maintaining world peace, and making the earth a better place to live. God has provided sufficient scientific and spiritual intelligence to complete this life mission. He adds, “However, as with rapid civilizational progress and rapid modernization, we prioritize material advance- ment and scientific achievement over spiritual development. But, over time, we created a society and civilization that prioritized power, economy, and status over spiritual values.” Human beings become distracted from the true purpose of life as a result of the desire for more power, the economy, and factors such as ego, anger, and hatred. Instead, men and nations begin to wage war, commit violence and harm others, and we gradually lose our spiritual and moral values. Though man created the term “religion” for his spiritual advancement, with the influence and permission of the supreme Godhead, to spread universal love and brotherhood throughout the world, and to connect with God. “And to know his greatness and to guide us to the path of spiritual enlightenment, but as time passes, narrow religious beliefs die, and differences in religious ideology develop, leading to violent conflict, communal wars, and other threats to world peace,” he states. As a result, the time has come to create a universal religion for world peace and universal ethics for all. Human virtues are crucial in shaping human civilization. Human virtues are a collection of qualities that shape human life in a divine way, as well as human civilization and make him suitable for fulfilling the true purpose of life. Human virtues are critical in establishing peace on this planet. “Human beings are intelligent and rational in comparison to all other living creatures, but we should not harm others and should instead use our talents and intelligence ethically.” To achieve societal development, talent must be combined with values. Human virtues have the power to transform all people into ethical and spiritual beings. According to Dr Omkar, nature has endowed all living creatures with intrinsic morality and intrinsic immorality, which play critical roles in the survival and existence of life on Earth. Furthermore, human extrinsic morality can be acquired through moral education, moral philosophy, spiritual and human values, and so on. Finally, he adds that world peace is nothing more than a function of human morality and virtue. 17 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com

It included the sectors of Banking, Insurance, stock trading, commodities, and real estate. I have trained many advisors who made a beeline to learn from a high-profile performer. All trainees wanted to take lessons from the horse’s mouth rather than get trained under a theoretician.

We have offered safe and rewarding solutions. We delivered to our clients the most required peace of mind and the satisfaction of growing their wealth steadily. What were the initial challenges after venturing into the Financial Advisory field, and what are the challenges now? There were several challenges in my journey. The competition was very stiff. For a single individual with limited financial resources was set to compete with a Goliath of Banks and large institutions. The credibility of a new businessman was extremely low. The general belief was that the larger the institution, the better the service. It was difficult to convince the first customer that I would put my heart and soul into their service. It was a matter of survival for me. My future largely depended on how well I will make the wealth growth of the first customer. The first few customers accepted the challenge. They gave me the opportunity. And I had taken the challenge and gave them rich rewards. There was a time when all investments, whether in Insurance, Mutual funds, FDs, or succession planning, had to be done manually. It involved long hours of work. Several customers had to be serviced at one time. The team of Sanghi Consultancy had a tough job at hand. All customer orders had to be completed on priority. No customer likes to hear that his order has been delayed. We made every customer believe they were the only client Sanghi Consultancy was working for. This feeling of priority did create lasting bonds with the customers. Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how technology is transforming the Financial Advisory sector and what advancements we can expect in the future. With more than 2000 customers in different categories, it wasn't easy to manage all the requirements. I undertook the herculean task of developing independent software, which today stands out as superlative customer service. Any specialized software takes much effort with very stiff challenges of time and cost. There was a clarity that growth would come only from service. Service comes only with software technology. An annual report is given to each client on the performance and growth of their investments. Wealth Munshi also gives them a projection of the financial status in the next 20-30 years. And advice on where they have to tighten their belts for a smooth flow of fund requirements in future.

Because the information technology sector is always prone to changes and new advancements, we are growing alongside it as the quality of our work should be at the highest level.

Several players appear in the IT industry and end up closing their companies within one or two years because they fail to fulfill the promises made to their clients. With over eight years of experience, we have worked with a wide range of clients worldwide, successfully delivering products that exceeded their expectations. As I previously stated, you can start a business and run it for one or two years, but to stay in the industry for more than eight years, you must add value to your customers.

As we are always adaptable to new changes, our clients won’t have to be concerned about the adaptabilities to the changes too. We are constantly working on getting adapted to the latest changes and advancements so that we can ensure our clients fulfill their all-time requirements. Please brief us about your journey and contribution to ensuring Pixbit IT Solutions excels in its niche. I began my career as a software developer after receiving my BTech from Calicut University in 2012. I started developing web applications and later expanded my knowledge to include mobile application development. During this time, I had the opportunity to manage projects and communicate with clients to collect project requirements and provide proper updates at each stage of development. Business leaders, I met and worked with frequently complimented me on my communication and entrepreneurial abilities. It was then that I began considering myself a businessman. I always had a bigger picture in mind and was willing to go to any length to achieve it. In 2014, I co-founded Pixbit Solutions with Mr Shafi (CTO, Pixbit Solutions) and Mr Nidhin (COO, Pixbit Solutions). As CEO, I oversaw forecasting and executing the business. I utilized my business skills to help the company to bring in high-potential clients and attract steady growth over the years. My software development background helped me communicate and understand client requirements and suggest best-in-class technology solutions to clients, which allowed the company works with innovative clients like ‘PayTabs,’ a leading payment gateway provider in the Middle East. Molding the team at the right level and managing them with the other co-founders, I was building the best quality software solution provider company of my dreams. My skills in dealing with clients have attracted the organization to the company and its services. Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on how adopting modern technologies like AI and ML impacts the business sector and how Pixbit adapts to the change. Large corporations invest heavily in research, particularly in modern technologies such as AI, Blockchain, and Machine Learning (ML). Open AI, a leading AI company, recently launched a solution called ChatGPT, and everyone is talking about it and looking for new opportunities by utilizing this new technology. We are also broadening our solutions to these modern technologies and investigating opportunities to assist business owners in improving their businesses and offerings. We are currently working with a leading Middle Eastern company on a Real Estate project that will use AI to provide advanced data-driven solutions to their clients. As I previously stated, one of our visions was to be adaptable to changes and advancements. By this, we assure our clients get the most advanced version of products. As modern technologies like AI and ML are in their initial stages, we are in constant research of how we could implement this to our level of work. Planning strategies and research on how to implement them technically are going on. As advancements like AI has taken over many sectors, we are utilizing its capabilities like machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, etc., and we believe that advancements like AI and ML will play a crucial part in everyone’s life in the coming years. Considering the current industry scenario, what challenges do you face, and how do you drive Pixbit to overcome them? Hiring skilled resources was the main challenge that every technology company faced in the last one or two years, and COVID played an important role in this. We overcame this by onboarding good resources and providing highly curated training, which played a significant role in our company’s growth over the years. Our welcoming work environment attracts highly skilled candidates, and we hire high-potential candidates and train them to ensure that we do not face a 28 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com

Another issue is the unexpected increase in IT spending. We needed to cut costs and expenses while maintaining productivity and effectiveness. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the Kerala business skyline? To excel in business, you must be eager to learn about the latest market trends and be enthusiastic about what you do. Without passion, it is impossible to be fully committed and achieve high-end goals. So work with love so that your heart is present in everything you do. Lack of focus is why many entrepreneurs fail on their journey. When you look at all successful entrepreneurs, you will notice that they are very focused on what they do and constantly learning about current market trends. If you stay focused, set attainable goals, and work toward them, you will succeed in your journey. Another thing to remember is always take calculated risks and have a backup plan for every new step. Everything will not go as planned, and it may fail. Always look for alternatives. Learn from failures, correct your mistakes the next time, and get back on your feet. Kerala is an excellent place to launch your business. Many startups have begun their journey in Kerala. The Kerala startup ecosystem, promoted by the Kerala government, gave birth to Open Financial Technologies, a Unicorn and Asia’s first neobank. Startup ecosystems, such as Kerala Startup Mission, promote startups and provide funds for implementing innovative ideas, as well as mentoring young entrepreneurs to start and run their businesses. How do you envision scaling Pixbit’s operations and offerings in the future? We recently opened a larger development center in Gov. Cyberpark, Kozhikode, with a capacity of 60+ members. We also exhibited at GITEX Global this year and had a booth there. By attending GITEX, we made many contacts from the Middle East and Africa region. We are opening a new office in Dubai to expand our services and offerings to our partners in the Middle East and Africa, onboarding new clients to our portfolio. In addition, we have received interest from leading investors in Kerala and the Middle East in investing in our company and promoting our offerings and services to additional markets such as Europe and Africa. We are close to closing these deals, which we hope to do this fiscal year. 29 | June, 2023 www.ciolookindia.com
