a timely manner. Their functional team takes input from business owners and recommend to product development team to implement in future versions. Strong technical team is contributing to product development by adapting new technology trends. The industry is changing rapidly. New business models and strategies are challenging the traditional software solutions. Upgrading the software to match the new trends is a key for success. Restaurants have been going through new trend in taking orders due to innovative online ordering and delivery aggregators to bring new revenue to them. Lack of integration of such orders with Point of Sale software is causing reconciliation issues for business owners. Smooth and Seamless POS Integration Restaurant operators are immensely looking for that system which has easily integrated a variety of capabilities into their point-of-sale (POS) systems. According to Hospitality Technology’s Restaurant Technology Study, Foodservice operators cite integration as a vital business driver influencing their next POS upgrade. Integration between systems opens up capabilities on both the operations side, including kitchen efficiency and better intelligence, and the customer-facing side, like mobile and online ordering, and more sophisticated loyalty programs. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to a smooth POS integration - or integration of any technology type - is connecting disparate systems. Trying to get different systems to talk to one another takes time and financial investment for both the operators and the vendors involved. Cozy Infosystems has upgraded their software to provide solution through CozyPOS architecture to track third party order sources into the same Point of Sale software that they use at the restaurant and thereby track their sales and inventory more efficiently.

ver the last few years, it seems India has become the seventh largest economy throughout the globe, where OIndia’s growth story represents a resilient outlook. According to the latest World Bank forecasts, India’s economy is the bright spot among all the emerging and developing economies with an expected 7.3% GDP growth in 2016 as compared to 7% in 2015. The Indian entrepreneurs came up with an ablaze idea. Slowdown meant a huge opportunity in niches for them. And lack of growth meant readying the whole hog for a small increase. They didn’t believe in the slowdown and develop strategies to grow their business rather than securing it from shrinking; they invested heavily in capacity multiplies for the future; and they recognized their personal growth in a depressed business environment.

In today’s competitive in the global marketplace, firms need to be driving effective innovation in their services as well as products. Furthermore, it is necessary for them to innovate rapidly and also, to do it cost- effectively. This need has been there, but its significance has grown over the last few decades. Even during the period of recession, top leadership was focused on growth, and they believed technology to be the main enabler of innovation. It is found during a survey that more th than 3/4 of industry leaders believed that innovation drives efficiencies. It also leads to competitive advantage. And most of them also believe that technology is one way of capturing both. Nearly seventy percent of decision makers surveyed were investing in IT to become more efficient and to reduce costs, while almost half of them were also funneling funds toward growth initiatives leveraging emerging technologies, like social media and wireless devices. Your Role as a Leader Once the right skills, strategy and processes are in place to embrace new ideas and initiatives, there is an opportunity for the thought-leaders to leverage technology to enable innovation. The list technologies that have converged to drive innovation can be long, but summarizing, cloud computing, analytics, social networking, and mobile device based computing are the key fundamentals. These are the technologies that enable new ways to innovate, develop products, interact with crew & clients, team up, and manage data. It observed that firms showing remarkable results demonstrate greater mastery in leveraging these four digital technologies to innovate, plan, measure result and create value. Excluding these, many other factors show unique impact when applied, also they are complementary in support of creating value and result. Still, to achieve the growth-driven innovation, the values need to be understood. For example, with social media, people can find people others to collaborate and co-create with. Wireless devices enable access to the databases, to applications, and numerous other purposes. Analytics help us to make action- derived meaning and presentation of all the data. Driving Innovation and Growth There is a primary factor without which, even the most innovative tech can’t deliver high-value; and that is business strategy and goals. The airtight business plan and a crystal- clear vision of where you want to see the organization are a must, as these factors will help in defining and setting the context for the role development, research, and innovation will play in enabling profitable growth. It will also help to determine the type of innovation wanted and the way you need to organize to effect change. Innovation can be manifested in multiple ways, but the type of innovation that is needed must be determined. Notably, there are three type of innovations based on industry goals and technology that needs to matched. The first one is, Incremental 16 JULY 2016 Centre of Interest Initiatives to Drive Innovation and Business Growth
innovations that make small changes to a company’s existing technologies and business models. Next, Breakthrough innovations that make significant changes to either the technology or business model, producing significant growth. And finally, Radical innovations, which take place more rarely, combine technology and business model innovation to create major new industries with exponential growth. Companies need to build a set up their work culture around innovation and establish appropriate metrics and processes to integrate innovation into the corporate culture. The organisations who were able to apply this research culture and establish the processes, what difference did they apply? Which type of skillsets are needed to drive it and is ultimate responsibly in the company for innovation, how the location of various teams need to be decided and how will they collaborate? And finally, how mechanisms and processes around innovation can be defined? Getting started with innovation First and foremost, it is necessary for companies to understand the ways to organize themselves around innovation, and define processes to get the best results from innovation. Initailly, companies need to consider their strategic imperatives, and ways to make a holistic transformation through process, structure, and people. Technoception: Innovations used for Innovating The final step is to identify the innovations and latest technologies that are best-suited to their unique circumstances. Companies who work to improve enterprise productivity, need to reduce complexity and then drive a comparatively agile IT environment. As this environment is an enabler for business growth, while using emerging technologies. Notably, social networks can be used to collaborate and communicate (internally as well as externally) and to co-create and generate ideas for solutions and service. Enabling a remote and mobile workforce that can collaborate regardless of time and location can also be done. Companies can leverage analytics to derive value from connected data and get a comprehensive overview of your information. Utilizing the cloud technology to optimize your IT are some of the technologies that are adapted widely to for business growth. How companies would create and sustain appropriate executive commitment to execute the innovation program successfully, will depend on the business goals and predictions market scenario, for any particular company. 17JULY 2016 Centre of Interest

Emergence of IoT has changed the way we live and work. Also, opening new opportunities for growth and innovation in less time. Companies possessing a huge amount of data has to be analyzed to understand more about their customers needs and trends. Companies have started using IoT data as part of their planning in order to stay competitive and to give more innovative services and products. Focussed towards creating a bigger technology barrier by bringing 10X improvements in information visibility and data analytics for the yard owners, CNB, a hardware-software product company is emphasizing on shipping logistic industry. The company has developed a unique and cost effective solution, globally, to manage and plan a container yard in real time using their IOT (Internet Of Things) platform. The solution is used for managing the complete yard by recording all the activities happening inside a container yard in a fully automatic manner. There are no manual interventions, whatsoever, in recording these data, this is why it is error free. Rajesh Kumar and Nitin Sirohi, co- founders of CNB Technologies, has a 20 JULY 2016 CNB Technologies: Solution that Manage and Plan a Container Yard in Real Time Using IoT The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 Rajesh Kumar & Nitin Sirohi Co-founders
CNB is motivated to take it to the next level and putting more than required to achieve the goal. A Complete Innovative Solution CNB Solutions take best of the breed components from all across the world and manufactures hardware fitted for the particular usecase and provide end- to-end solution to their customers. The software application is completely in- house. CNB is a hardware-software company with a complete innovative solution. The main innovation is understanding the right set of different technologies like RFID, GPS, GPRS, different sensors and processing unit that are deployed in harshest of the conditions to capture the data in real time, automatically 24x7. The company has technically created barrier for any competition for at least 3 years of R&D on the field and not in the lab. They have a dedicated R&D team who keep on experimenting with all the upcoming and new technologies related to their system. They keep a close tab on all the developments happening on that field. One thing for relationship that goes long back during their college days at IIT Kanpur. Where, Rajesh holds a B.Tech in Civil Engineering and Nitin holds Msc Integrated in Physics. “We are both sportsperson at core of the heart and learnt a lot from it like coping with the team, how to celebrate winning moments and how to digest and improve after losses etc,” propounds Rajesh. While talking about their interests, he further adds, “I used to play hockey and Nitin used to play cricket for IITK during Inter-IIT sports meet. Both of us were having similar kind of interests as also big risk taking capabilities and never shied away from trying new things. This is one thing that brought us closer and we did enough things together to understand each other like brothers.” Rajesh and Nitin started their entrepreneurial journey from 2006 in the field real time information domain. After trying different things during the initial years of their journey, they are now spearheading with their product for port and shipping industry since last 5 years. “Everyone gets the kick from the fact that we are doing something which no one in the world has done like this,” asserts Nitin. The feeling of being the best and self-sustaining without any external funding in itself is a big motivating factor. CNB is going to be a product originated from India for the global market, this is also quite motivating for everyone. Everyone at which they are very sure is that they do not change a stable technology component in their solution unless and until it has got some significant advantages attached to it. which goes both for hardware as well as software. India spends 13-14% of its GDP on logistics whereas developed countries do it at 6-7%, this explains a lot about the inefficiency in the system. For any country, port is the start and the end point of the logistic with the external world. Containerisation of cargo is the best way to utilise space and making cargo movement more efficient. In case of Import, cargo moves from Port-container yard- warehouse and then further down in chain; in case of export, cargo move out from various places to warehouse-container yard-port. Focus on Port and Logistics Development CNB is looking to automate the complete start and end of the logistic chain by making port, container yard and warehouse more efficient. What excites CNB about the future is that today India’s 20-25% container uses their solution and one day when 70-80% container passes through their solution, probably they will reduce at least 1-2% of Indian GDP wastage on logistics. The government is also focused for development of port and logistics infrastructure which is a very good news for everyone. The company is seeing some good progress in terms of automation and visibility that the government is mandating on this segment. 21JULY 2016 Our solutions enables 100% container identication which has not been achieved anywhere globally till date “ “ The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016

In a few months, he became a full stack developer, worked with a travel startup and built mobile apps and sites, where he met his wife Vidhya, who was a product manager and together they built many mobile solutions for travelers, hotels and enterprise apps. Back in 2013, he noticed a growing need in the market for good looking apps and sites. There were very few companies in India then who worried about good looking, mobile friendly interfaces and embracing mobility fundamentally. On one side were the creative agencies who were limited with design and photoshop, on the other side were legacy technology companies who were focusing purely on the functionality, not the user interface. Abhijith felt there was a need for both these worlds, to come together and create solutions that give users a great online experience and that are reliable to scale for a large number of users. He quit his job, started a new journey with Codewave in May 2013. His wife joined him to help the team grow and to help enable sustainable business growth. Codewave grew from a team of 4 to 45, over the last 3 years purely through team member referrals and people directly reaching out to them through their site. The team puts focused effort on raising potential, individually and collectively to be able to attract the right opportunities, enabling the organization to grow sustainably. The company organizes an event every week ‘Codewave Leadership Café, to have people share insights and inspiration from their lives. They draw inspiration from people and learn how each one of them is making an impact web/mobile technologies and frameworks, at the best possible cost. They continuously benchmark with latest open source technologies / frameworks, implement quick POCs to validate feasibility and use in their projects. They also customize open source libraries to build their own, to meet the needs of the end product. Codewave’s team of developers are constantly exploring new opportunities to code better; also a reason why they are able to swiftly switch from old to new frameworks like AngularJS and NodeJS. Over the last 3 years, the company has built technologically complex applications such as IoT applications requiring heavy realtime data computations, social commerce /marketplace portals with large data aggregation (on MongoDB) and AI (artificial intelligence) based apps that require deep data interpretations. Codewave has simplified patient doctor communication in hospitals, enabled satellite education for African children where internet is unavailable, enabled baby incubators to proactively alert doctors using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), built marketplaces for consumers to easily find legal, financial help and built many more applications making the world more deeply connected.

Let’s Do Something Different. Environmentally Friendly. he use of plastic has been Tincreasing at a tremendous rate for the last few decades, which plays a major role in all facets of modern lifestyle. Plastics are used in the manufacture of a great number of products such as mobile phones, domestic appliances, furniture items, medical devices, protective packaging, lightweight and safety components in cars, and insulation materials in buildings, etc. Plastics are used because they are effortless and saving costs to make and it can be durable. Destruction of plastic waste has come out as a major environmental challenge and its recycling is facing obstacles due to its non-degradable characteristic. The amount of plastic waste in our surroundings is continuously growing because plastic does not decompose biologically. However, so many articles showed the situation on the ‘sea beaches contain plastic’. Plastic waste is often the most objectionable type of litter and could be viewable for months in landfill sites without degrading. Reuse of plastics and recycling is obtaining as major as a sustainable method for plastic waste disposal. Unluckily, plastic is one of the difficult kind of material to recycle than aluminum, glass or paper. What is the common problem with recycling plastics?, it is that plastics are often made up of more than one type of polymer or there may be some kind of fibre added to the plastic, can be a composite. Plastic polymers need a sustainable amount of processing to be recycled as a different type melts at different temperatures and has different properties, so be alert separation is very necessary. Moreover, most plastics are not greatly compatible with one another. Except for familiar applications such as industrial packaging film and recycling bottles, there are also new developments, e.g. The Recovinyl initiative of the PVC industry. Lots of construction firms are using plastic materials. The components used involve everything from plastic screws and hinges to enlarge plastic parts that are used in electric wiring, decoration, flooring, water proofing, wall covering, etc. Humans create 660 billion pounds of plastic in a year, and the manufacturing process produces three times as much carbon dioxide by weight as actual plastic. “That’s an insane amount of material,” states Newlight Technologies CEO Mark Herrema. “Wouldn’t we be better off using plastic as a conveyor belt for capturing and sequestering carbon emissions instead?” That’s exactly what his company does. Typically, plastic is made by exposing hydrocarbons from fossil fuels to tremendous pressure and energy. Newlight's first commercial plant, in California, captures methane generated by a dairy farm’s waste lagoon and transports it to a bioreactor. There, enzymes combine the gas with air to form a polymer. The resulting plastic, called AirCarbon, performs identically to most oil-based plastics, but costs less-creating a market-driven solution to global warming. Companies have already signed on to use AirCarbon in their products, including KI desk chairs (pictured), Dell computer packaging, and Sprint smartphone cases. Go Green 24 JULY 2016
Franchising and Restaurant Industry - The Inseparables Franchising has been around since the 19th Century but it was not until Ray Kroc, a Multi-Mixer Salesman adopted Franchising for the expansion of his little known acquisition back then Mc Donald’s Fast Food that it gained such a strong popularity and momentum. Today, almost half of the Restaurant businesses in the United States are franchised units and that is what caused the Fast Food Revolution, as we know it. In fact, Franchising is mostly responsible for the creation of the most successful format of Restaurants - the Quick Service Restaurant. The whole dynamic of the relationship between these two industries is what has revolutionized the entire business of eating out across the world. Franchising is important in different ways to different people, and its importance varies from the utility it offers to all the sections of the business applicable. For the Restaurant concerned, Franchising is the best way to expand to various territories in a fast and effective way without the need of a large network of highly skilled individuals or the need to have a super costly core management team for each store. For the Brand, the advantage is that the business model is easily recognizable and acceptable. From the industry’s point of view, franchising is the most suitable way to make brands and products popular with regular customer visits and high brand recall value. From the point of view of an entrepreneur (franchisee in this context) is that the business model is well established and defined. Even the roles and responsibilities of the different crewmembers as well as the owner himself are well defined and as a result, the customers feel more secure and confident about the consistency and quality of the products. This leads to a more confident and a more loyal customer base for not just the brand or chain but for the entire concept of franchise stores hence increasing the footfalls to any particular location among other things. Restaurant Operations are a typically complicated as they have to be able to build on the concept that even the most complicated products are made in the simplest and most effective manner by the most unexpected source of manpower. Simpletons who have very little or no training or background of the industry are usually introduced to the operations as entry-level crew and trained on the job by means of an intricate system of operations broken up and Franchising is the best way to expand to various territories in a fast and effective way without the need of a large network of highly skilled individuals or the need to have a super costly core management team for each store “ “ CXO Standpoint Rohan Bhatt- 26 JULY 2016 - Rohan
CXO Standpoint Rohan Bhatt, Founder & Head Consultant of Square Consulting, is a Franchise & Hospitality Consulting professional with over 11 years of hands on experience in developing and sustaining franchise brands across India. He has headed the expansion and franchising part of various brands such as La Marque World Dining, Singh Saaab Di Rasoi, Unique Brew Café, Moodies Restro Café, Tasty Khaman, Mexican Rodeo & The Dough Company. His acute sense of retailing & hospitality and his innovative restaurant support & development systems make him an integral part of the team showing the company’s commitment to not just large numbers but systematic development & support for the large number of stores planned in the network. He has also provided end to end solutions for various brands on a strategic level which gives the businesses a correct direction for organic and sustainable growth. simplified to a great degree of detail by effective restaurant systems. Creating such systems is no child’s play and requires the highest skills and knowledge of operations and franchising. Brands take the decisions like developing a correct business operations plan and expansion well in advance to accommodate the possibility of major problems at later stages. Every business needs a proof of concept and the flagship store or the pioneer store of a potential franchise system usually has one (or more) profitable prototypes across the business models to highlight the strengths of the business model in a variety of scenarios. However, a correct expansion plan is of utmost importance as gradual growth and planning are important to sustain and manage growth considering the importance of correct logistics and material management, organizational support and observation and support from the HQ to the units etc., which are crucial for the growth of the business model. India has been one of the late bloomers in the field of Franchising and Organized restaurant industry both and this has been more of a blessing for the market dynamics as the factors like economy and society development has taken major leaps only in the past two decades and eating out has evolved a lot. The Indian Growth story largely loses its shine to the fact that the brands that are opting for Franchise route for their expansion are either locally run stores with a considerable home market value or brands that have ambition and uniqueness of concept but are not at all financially ready to take the required steps. Important aspects of franchise marketing like branding and organizing resources to display the franchise opportunity on a more practical and real way. The whole idea of franchising is just to make more money in India by way of Franchise Fees and post-sales support and organizing operations is still a distant reality for India and the considerably small number of brands that do so have achieved unmatched success and growth through this excellent medium of expansion. In conclusion, the first generation entrepreneurs who want to enter the industry in a correct way with genuine serious efforts made behind developing brands and business models is what makes the franchise opportunity worthwhile. The business owners need to have more faith in the business model and should be able to stick around a little longer to give the franchisee unit holders what they want to run their units successfully. 27JULY 2016

India Is Becoming the World’s Fastest Growing Startup Ecosystem n recent years, the Indian startup ecosystem has really Itaken off and come into focus on its own-driven by factors such as massive funding, consolidation activities, evolving technology and a burgeoning domestic market. The numbers are depicting-from approx. 3000 startups in 2014 to a projection of more than approx. 11000 by 2020, this is surely not a passing trend. It’s just a revolution. And in India, it’s will change the way the markets are working today. Disruptive Startups from India A lot of startups in India have entered in the industry either unearthing an entirely new market or through gaps in existing markets or product lines. Although there are various successful startups that are growing rapidly and changing how an existing industry works in the process like Paytm, Redbus, InMobi, Housing.com, Zivame, AdPushup to name a few. This listing is not only exhaustive but it also serves as an appetizer for delving deep into the world of the Indian startup ecosystem which is the 4th largest on the entire planet. Indian Startup Ecosystem Enablers In India startups have given rise to more startups. Enablers, accelerators, and incubators are firms providing startups with growth advice and decision-making tools. From advising on government policies to act as market catalysts, they grow the maturity of young ventures. Enablers like iSpirt and NASSCOM brought together key stakeholders of the ecosystem including startup accelerators, incubators, venture capitalists, angel investors, support groups, technology corporations and mentors. Simply, their main aim is to provide funding and support for startups. Closing Thoughts While coming out of their difficult ruts Indian investors as well as investors abroad are becoming experimental, yet extremely well- informed decision makers. But still funding activities are the biggest driving factors in any startup ecosystem. The average valuation of an Indian startup is $2.3 million as compared to $4.2 million of an American one. 43 percent of product/digital organizations are focusing on the global market and 28 percent continue to be technology hotspots. With a 59 percent of B2C, 37 percent of B2B, and 4 percent of B2C/ B2B startups, this ecosystem Market Dashboard 32 JULY 2016
has a lot of ground to cover in terms of securing funding. What Indian Ecosystem Gets Right Technology acquisition, customer acquisition, acqui-hiring and market consolidation are the main drivers for increase in M&A of Indian startups. With increase of momentum in M&A in India, investors are getting more exit opportunities. Startups are adopting innovative approaches to attract and retain top talent. What It Gets Wrong Indian startups are often asserted for copying foreign startups. It is seen quite often that they don’t have a proper scaling plan. There is always a need for directional efforts to help them in increasing their supportive government policies. What Other Ecosystems Can Learn From This Nowadays, startups are consolidating fast and eagerly buying other startups. Successful entrepreneurs are taking initiation to support other emerging startups by mentoring them through various channels. Young entrepreneurs are dominating the startup landscape with a larger percent of founders in the age bracket of less than 36 years. Women entrepreneurs have started becoming more prominent in the innovation economy. In the near future, listing of various startups is touted to be the next big frontier. Every day, a lot is written about funded startups, unicorns, fund raising startups, that often, cockroach startups never get the limelight, even for the right reasons. Several companies are preparing for initial share sales, but these will most likely happen in startup heavens and not in India. Today, predictions made for startups are more in number compared to the startups themselves. But the interest these few companies are generating cannot be undermined. Conclusion To summarize   in terms of revenue, growth and active userbase, entrepreneurs believe that they have done a fair job despite being a bootstrapped / self-funded and are already ahead compared to many funded startups in this space. The fast growing product and startup ecosystem in the country provides a platform to engage with thought leaders in the product space and discuss issues of common interest. One can only wonder what these funded competitors have been doing whose growth, revenue and active userbase is quite low. The pressure of investor is already mounting on a few who are ‘globally expanding to Malaysia, Indonesia’ for namesake! It is clear that they must be struggling to raise their next round of funding. Vanity metrics can only get them so far. Market Dashboard 33JULY 2016

With a Platform-As-A- Service or a Full Service Solution, NextGen enables partners build a secure Financial Service offering on “any mobile device”, from the original Nokia 5110 to the modern day smart phones, and take to the masses a 360 degree offering on Financial Inclusion services. Built around payments / money transfers and more, deeply and securely integrated with the mobile as a base technology platform, NextGen has included banking, wallets, cards, money transfers, bill and utility payments / top-ups supported by retailer mPOS terminals and multiple Financial Instruments into a unified service menu on a secure overlay element, affixed on an existing SIM card and used with any mobile device. Mobile network and bearer independent, it’s a one of its solution globally with this wide a service envelope on a single platform. NextGen is helping clients expand their service portfolio and penetrate untapped customer segments with a highly secure offering, integrating their secure overlay banking platform as a front end and enabling customer services on the secure overlay menu. With added capabilities of a low cost mPOS terminal for merchants / agents, enabling merchant acquisition at the lowest level, virtual debit / credit cards and full service banking on the secure overlay, this is a unique proposition to global customers. The edge of zero cost card issuance and management, enabling M-Visa and Nextgen Telesolutions: Secure Financial Services on Any Mobile Device, Network and Bearer Agnostic The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 Taron Mohan CEO Taron Mohan CEO 42 JULY 2016
“secure overlay” and “contactless” financial services solution, enabling secure financial services on any mobile device, network and bearer agnostic. “It’s this ecosystem that we’re trying to change and disrupt… enabling everything on a mobile device and making this the center of all data storage and transaction initialization, with multiple financial instruments hosted on this unified interface.” says Taron. Their services don’t stop here - they’re providing advanced banking grade security using private / public encryption keys, EMV / 3DES security and encryption, contactless capability for instant, low cost micro payments, a self-service and an assisted service model / menu offering, enabling low cost mPOS terminals on the same hardware - regular and contactless, virtual card issuance - zero cost card management for the issuers, Customer “pull” / Merchant “push” payment capabilities with a user alias, added security in transactions, Banking, wallets, money transfers, bill payments, top-up, cards and more on the same platform. Catering to both user segemenets - an existing company, wanting to bring on additional capabilities for their customers or a new company wanting to start afresh on everything, they help MasterPass as a contactless solution on any device is futuristic and a roadmap for expanding financial services at the bottom of the pyramid. Adding the 2 Factor Authentication (now 3 factor) for online / mobile payments without the SMS based OTP, secure tokenisation of customer ID mapped to Aadhaar#, cards / bank accounts or any other digital identity, enhances transaction security. EMV capability with Contactless Payments on any mobile device brings in a lot more capabilities to the service envelope. Venturous behind NextGen Taron Mohan, CEO of NextGen Telesolutions, a dynamic entrepreneur, graduated in Engineering from IIT Delhi. From building engineering products which included music systems to Air-jet weaving looms for Mafatlals, to backpacking across Europe in a princely sum of USD 1000 for 6 weeks which included a Eurail pass, food and stay, he graduated to set up the country’s first precision sheet metal fabrication facility for the electronics, communication and telecom industry. In 1994, he moved into cutting edge CAD / CAM services for the sheet metal industry. Later than he came in the mobile boom and set up the country’s first mobile VAS service company - Phoneytunes.com. Next, he dabbled a bit into HD Glass Free 3D screens for mobile devices / laptops / PC screens in partnership with a laboratory in Korea and also Green power solutions for Telecom Towers. Unfortunately, he could not move in well into these and then moved into building and enabling secure payments on mobile devices - looking at the ecosystem differently and as a technology solution, breaking the regular moulds of the banking industry. This is where he build this add a new service avenue to help clients tap an uptapped and yet a very large customer base for secure financial services. NextGen has built a lot of innovation and unique design features into their solution to make it unique, disruptive, different and future proof. This approach enabled them innovate with the solution and take to the industry a product offering meeting or exceeding their current service requirements. NextGen’s next development on enabling any mobile device become a secure contactless terminal for Merchants and the capability to upgrade any mobile device to a contactless device, with EMV certifications, further broadens the scope of a fully digital ecosystem for payments. We can replace any Visa / Master Card / Rupay card virtually on a secure microSD card, thereby, working towards a 100% virtual ecosystem for payments. The company enjoys learning and working with the banking sector - handling multiple banking switches, encryption and data security at the lowest end of the mobile devices and then building an easy to use interface for their partners to use. Most Secure and Affordable Ecosystem By bringing wallets and direct integrations with cards and banking services at every user mobile device, NextGen hopes to bring about a change in the way consumers transact at any point. A major factor to enabling these services at the lowest end of the pyramid is the capital cost and the operational costs for the services. This is our strength and we’re expanding on this - building an extremely low cost ecosystem for merchants and consumers for secure transactions at every transaction point. Working not as a banking solution provider, but more as a “Fintech Solution provider”, we brought in a lot of integrations which are different, yet imperative to help grow the overall Financial Inclusion ecosystem “ “ JULY 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 43
Effective Growth Strategies for Small Businesses Effective Growth Strategies for Small Businesses very businessman wants a growth in Etheir business, whether it is small or medium scale business. Most of the businessmen are successful in it, with the way they implement for maintaining the revenue of the business. But how do you scale your business? There are few strategies for small business growth that have been implemented by successful businessmen again and again. And these are the basic growth strategies for all businesses - without any restriction of space, area, or the type of an industry, that can follow to generate new revenues. No matter from which industry you are, from Google, Microsoft or a small scale industry these growth strategies are useful to achieve higher levels of success. I cannot say that each strategy will come without any risk, that’s why we call them businessmen backers. They do it with the right planning, proper implementation, and right team selection, which are the key factors to grow their business. Below are the strategies for you: 1. Improve Your Product Offering something unique or different products or services than others will help you to grow your business. For an instance, think about Nike brand who adds some new features to its sneakers to improve them. And what about Reebok? Did anyone really need sneakers with a pump in the tongue when they debuted back in the 1980s? Definitely not, but improvements are raised sales of nike, because people chose Reebok Pump sneakers, still they made a comeback in 2015 as the ZPump Fusion. Ask Yourself: How can I improve my current product or service to make it superb? What characters can I increase which will differ my product or service? Can I try any new marketing strategies to attract my customers to reach, that they don’t know before that? 2. Widen Your Audience Second strategy to upgrade your small business is to further enlarge the market you operate in by getting customer outside of your available target audiences to begin choosing your product or service. Remember when Buick needed to appeal to teenagers and diverse audience? The firm recruited Tiger Woods to appear in their commercials. Ask Yourself: How do I change or modify my marketing strategies and messaging ways to appeal new audiences? Where can I advertise my product or service to draw attention of new audiences? What do new audiences require from a product or service like mine, and does my product or service provide that? Or do I need to improve your existing product or service?

Strong technical team is contributing to product development by adapting new technology trends. The industry is changing rapidly. New business models and strategies are challenging the traditional software solutions. Upgrading the software to match the new trends is a key for success. Restaurants have been going through new trend in taking orders due to innovative online ordering and delivery aggregators to bring new revenue to them. Lack of integration of such orders with Point of Sale software is causing reconciliation issues for business owners. Smooth and Seamless POS Integration Restaurant operators are immensely looking for that system which has easily integrated a variety of capabilities into their point-of-sale (POS) systems. According to Hospitality Technology’s Restaurant Technology Study, Foodservice operators cite integration as a vital business driver influencing their next POS upgrade. Integration between systems opens up capabilities on both the operations side, including kitchen efficiency and better intelligence, and the customer-facing side, like mobile and online ordering, and more sophisticated loyalty programs. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to a smooth POS integration - or integration of any technology type - is connecting disparate systems. Trying to get different systems to talk to one another takes time and financial investment for both the operators and the vendors involved. Cozy Infosystems has upgraded their software to provide solution through CozyPOS architecture to track third party order sources into the same Point of Sale software that they use at the restaurant and thereby track their sales and inventory more efficiently. Having more than 15 years of strong experience in Retail Business Software Solutions and dealt with a different Point of Sale software over the years, the company’s design and development team understands the challenges of business owners and developed solutions through feature rich CozyPOS software.

  • 18. In today’s competitive in the global marketplace, firms need to be driving effective innovation in their services as well as products. Furthermore, it is necessary for them to innovate rapidly and also, to do it cost- effectively. This need has been there, but its significance has grown over the last few decades. Even during the period of recession, top leadership was focused on growth, and they believed technology to be the main enabler of innovation. It is found during a survey that more th than 3/4 of industry leaders believed that innovation drives efficiencies. It also leads to competitive advantage. And most of them also believe that technology is one way of capturing both. Nearly seventy percent of decision makers surveyed were investing in IT to become more efficient and to reduce costs, while almost half of them were also funneling funds toward growth initiatives leveraging emerging technologies, like social media and wireless devices. Your Role as a Leader Once the right skills, strategy and processes are in place to embrace new ideas and initiatives, there is an opportunity for the thought-leaders to leverage technology to enable innovation. The list technologies that have converged to drive innovation can be long, but summarizing, cloud computing, analytics, social networking, and mobile device based computing are the key fundamentals. These are the technologies that enable new ways to innovate, develop products, interact with crew & clients, team up, and manage data. It observed that firms showing remarkable results demonstrate greater mastery in leveraging these four digital technologies to innovate, plan, measure result and create value. Excluding these, many other factors show unique impact when applied, also they are complementary in support of creating value and result. Still, to achieve the growth-driven innovation, the values need to be understood. For example, with social media, people can find people others to collaborate and co-create with. Wireless devices enable access to the databases, to applications, and numerous other purposes. Analytics help us to make action- derived meaning and presentation of all the data. Driving Innovation and Growth There is a primary factor without which, even the most innovative tech can’t deliver high-value; and that is business strategy and goals. The airtight business plan and a crystal- clear vision of where you want to see the organization are a must, as these factors will help in defining and setting the context for the role development, research, and innovation will play in enabling profitable growth. It will also help to determine the type of innovation wanted and the way you need to organize to effect change. Innovation can be manifested in multiple ways, but the type of innovation that is needed must be determined. Notably, there are three type of innovations based on industry goals and technology that needs to matched. The first one is, Incremental 16 JULY 2016 Centre of Interest Initiatives to Drive Innovation and Business Growth

Next, Breakthrough innovations that make significant changes to either the technology or business model, producing significant growth. And finally, Radical innovations, which take place more rarely, combine technology and business model innovation to create major new industries with exponential growth. Companies need to build a set up their work culture around innovation and establish appropriate metrics and processes to integrate innovation into the corporate culture. The organisations who were able to apply this research culture and establish the processes, what difference did they apply? Which type of skillsets are needed to drive it and is ultimate responsibly in the company for innovation, how the location of various teams need to be decided and how will they collaborate? And finally, how mechanisms and processes around innovation can be defined? Getting started with innovation First and foremost, it is necessary for companies to understand the ways to organize themselves around innovation, and define processes to get the best results from innovation. Initailly, companies need to consider their strategic imperatives, and ways to make a holistic transformation through process, structure, and people. Technoception: Innovations used for Innovating The final step is to identify the innovations and latest technologies that are best-suited to their unique circumstances. Companies who work to improve enterprise productivity, need to reduce complexity and then drive a comparatively agile IT environment. As this environment is an enabler for business growth, while using emerging technologies. Notably, social networks can be used to collaborate and communicate (internally as well as externally) and to co-create and generate ideas for solutions and service. Enabling a remote and mobile workforce that can collaborate regardless of time and location can also be done. Companies can leverage analytics to derive value from connected data and get a comprehensive overview of your information. Utilizing the cloud technology to optimize your IT are some of the technologies that are adapted widely to for business growth. How companies would create and sustain appropriate executive commitment to execute the innovation program successfully, will depend on the business goals and predictions market scenario, for any particular company. 17JULY 2016 Centre of Interest

A Complete Innovative Solution CNB Solutions take best of the breed components from all across the world and manufactures hardware fitted for the particular usecase and provide end- to-end solution to their customers. The software application is completely in- house. CNB is a hardware-software company with a complete innovative solution. The main innovation is understanding the right set of different technologies like RFID, GPS, GPRS, different sensors and processing unit that are deployed in harshest of the conditions to capture the data in real time, automatically 24x7. The company has technically created barrier for any competition for at least 3 years of R&D on the field and not in the lab. They have a dedicated R&D team who keep on experimenting with all the upcoming and new technologies related to their system. They keep a close tab on all the developments happening on that field. One thing for relationship that goes long back during their college days at IIT Kanpur. Where, Rajesh holds a B.Tech in Civil Engineering and Nitin holds Msc Integrated in Physics. “We are both sportsperson at core of the heart and learnt a lot from it like coping with the team, how to celebrate winning moments and how to digest and improve after losses etc,” propounds Rajesh. While talking about their interests, he further adds, “I used to play hockey and Nitin used to play cricket for IITK during Inter-IIT sports meet. Both of us were having similar kind of interests as also big risk taking capabilities and never shied away from trying new things. This is one thing that brought us closer and we did enough things together to understand each other like brothers.” Rajesh and Nitin started their entrepreneurial journey from 2006 in the field real time information domain. After trying different things during the initial years of their journey, they are now spearheading with their product for port and shipping industry since last 5 years. “Everyone gets the kick from the fact that we are doing something which no one in the world has done like this,” asserts Nitin. The feeling of being the best and self-sustaining without any external funding in itself is a big motivating factor. CNB is going to be a product originated from India for the global market, this is also quite motivating for everyone. Everyone at which they are very sure is that they do not change a stable technology component in their solution unless and until it has got some significant advantages attached to it. which goes both for hardware as well as software. India spends 13-14% of its GDP on logistics whereas developed countries do it at 6-7%, this explains a lot about the inefficiency in the system. For any country, port is the start and the end point of the logistic with the external world. Containerisation of cargo is the best way to utilise space and making cargo movement more efficient. In case of Import, cargo moves from Port-container yard- warehouse and then further down in chain; in case of export, cargo move out from various places to warehouse-container yard-port. Focus on Port and Logistics Development CNB is looking to automate the complete start and end of the logistic chain by making port, container yard and warehouse more efficient. What excites CNB about the future is that today India’s 20-25% container uses their solution and one day when 70-80% container passes through their solution, probably they will reduce at least 1-2% of Indian GDP wastage on logistics. The government is also focused for development of port and logistics infrastructure which is a very good news for everyone. The company is seeing some good progress in terms of automation and visibility that the government is mandating on this segment. 21JULY 2016 Our solutions enables 100% container identication which has not been achieved anywhere globally till date “ “ The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016

An Integrated App Experience Codewave’s core proposition to market is UI/UX, Mobility, Scalability at the best possible cost and creating an integrated app experience. Codewave connects with their clients at a vision level and aligns a team of individuals who can productize the vision in a great way. They have a combination of a business guy (account leadership) and a technology guy (team leadership), jointly driving project commitments and delivery. Codewave is one of the first companies, to have eliminated the bell curve appraisal and generic rating scales for performance reviews and have instead adopted a more dynamic performance review practice that carefully aligns potential to opportunity and promotes individuals when they’re ready. They are proud to be a people first company, that has developed unique, disruptive people development practices and a workplace closer to home. Early Adopters of MEAN Stack Codewave feels proud to be one of the early adopters of MEAN stack, Django (Python framework) technologies used by companies like Uber. They build scalable applications using latest intern, doing mobile development. In a few months, he became a full stack developer, worked with a travel startup and built mobile apps and sites, where he met his wife Vidhya, who was a product manager and together they built many mobile solutions for travelers, hotels and enterprise apps. Back in 2013, he noticed a growing need in the market for good looking apps and sites. There were very few companies in India then who worried about good looking, mobile friendly interfaces and embracing mobility fundamentally. On one side were the creative agencies who were limited with design and photoshop, on the other side were legacy technology companies who were focusing purely on the functionality, not the user interface. Abhijith felt there was a need for both these worlds, to come together and create solutions that give users a great online experience and that are reliable to scale for a large number of users. He quit his job, started a new journey with Codewave in May 2013. His wife joined him to help the team grow and to help enable sustainable business growth. Codewave grew from a team of 4 to 45, over the last 3 years purely through team member referrals and people directly reaching out to them through their site. The team puts focused effort on raising potential, individually and collectively to be able to attract the right opportunities, enabling the organization to grow sustainably. The company organizes an event every week ‘Codewave Leadership Café, to have people share insights and inspiration from their lives. They draw inspiration from people and learn how each one of them is making an impact web/mobile technologies and frameworks, at the best possible cost. They continuously benchmark with latest open source technologies / frameworks, implement quick POCs to validate feasibility and use in their projects. They also customize open source libraries to build their own, to meet the needs of the end product. Codewave’s team of developers are constantly exploring new opportunities to code better; also a reason why they are able to swiftly switch from old to new frameworks like AngularJS and NodeJS. Over the last 3 years, the company has built technologically complex applications such as IoT applications requiring heavy realtime data computations, social commerce /marketplace portals with large data aggregation (on MongoDB) and AI (artificial intelligence) based apps that require deep data interpretations. Codewave has simplified patient doctor communication in hospitals, enabled satellite education for African children where internet is unavailable, enabled baby incubators to proactively alert doctors using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), built marketplaces for consumers to easily find legal, financial help and built many more applications making the world more deeply connected. Codewave’s upcoming product “Peerly”, intends to illustrate their spirit of building a great workplace with empathy, transparency and peer comfort. Peerly aims to make everyday recognitions and opportunities more vivid, intensifying connections with people and their experience of life at work. With Peerly, companies can bring positive change in the workplace not just once a year, but at all the moments of opportunity.

  • 26. Let’s Do Something Different. Environmentally Friendly. he use of plastic has been Tincreasing at a tremendous rate for the last few decades, which plays a major role in all facets of modern lifestyle. Plastics are used in the manufacture of a great number of products such as mobile phones, domestic appliances, furniture items, medical devices, protective packaging, lightweight and safety components in cars, and insulation materials in buildings, etc. Plastics are used because they are effortless and saving costs to make and it can be durable. Destruction of plastic waste has come out as a major environmental challenge and its recycling is facing obstacles due to its non-degradable characteristic. The amount of plastic waste in our surroundings is continuously growing because plastic does not decompose biologically. However, so many articles showed the situation on the ‘sea beaches contain plastic’. Plastic waste is often the most objectionable type of litter and could be viewable for months in landfill sites without degrading. Reuse of plastics and recycling is obtaining as major as a sustainable method for plastic waste disposal. Unluckily, plastic is one of the difficult kind of material to recycle than aluminum, glass or paper. What is the common problem with recycling plastics?, it is that plastics are often made up of more than one type of polymer or there may be some kind of fibre added to the plastic, can be a composite. Plastic polymers need a sustainable amount of processing to be recycled as a different type melts at different temperatures and has different properties, so be alert separation is very necessary. Moreover, most plastics are not greatly compatible with one another. Except for familiar applications such as industrial packaging film and recycling bottles, there are also new developments, e.g. The Recovinyl initiative of the PVC industry. Lots of construction firms are using plastic materials. The components used involve everything from plastic screws and hinges to enlarge plastic parts that are used in electric wiring, decoration, flooring, water proofing, wall covering, etc. Humans create 660 billion pounds of plastic in a year, and the manufacturing process produces three times as much carbon dioxide by weight as actual plastic. “That’s an insane amount of material,” states Newlight Technologies CEO Mark Herrema. “Wouldn’t we be better off using plastic as a conveyor belt for capturing and sequestering carbon emissions instead?” That’s exactly what his company does. Typically, plastic is made by exposing hydrocarbons from fossil fuels to tremendous pressure and energy. Newlight's first commercial plant, in California, captures methane generated by a dairy farm’s waste lagoon and transports it to a bioreactor. There, enzymes combine the gas with air to form a polymer. The resulting plastic, called AirCarbon, performs identically to most oil-based plastics, but costs less-creating a market-driven solution to global warming. Companies have already signed on to use AirCarbon in their products, including KI desk chairs (pictured), Dell computer packaging, and Sprint smartphone cases. Go Green 24 JULY 2016

Franchising and Restaurant Industry - The Inseparables Franchising has been around since the 19th Century but it was not until Ray Kroc, a Multi-Mixer Salesman adopted Franchising for the expansion of his little known acquisition back then Mc Donald’s Fast Food that it gained such a strong popularity and momentum. Today, almost half of the Restaurant businesses in the United States are franchised units and that is what caused the Fast Food Revolution, as we know it. In fact, Franchising is mostly responsible for the creation of the most successful format of Restaurants - the Quick Service Restaurant. The whole dynamic of the relationship between these two industries is what has revolutionized the entire business of eating out across the world. Franchising is important in different ways to different people, and its importance varies from the utility it offers to all the sections of the business applicable. For the Restaurant concerned, Franchising is the best way to expand to various territories in a fast and effective way without the need of a large network of highly skilled individuals or the need to have a super costly core management team for each store. For the Brand, the advantage is that the business model is easily recognizable and acceptable. From the industry’s point of view, franchising is the most suitable way to make brands and products popular with regular customer visits and high brand recall value. From the point of view of an entrepreneur (franchisee in this context) is that the business model is well established and defined. Even the roles and responsibilities of the different crewmembers as well as the owner himself are well defined and as a result, the customers feel more secure and confident about the consistency and quality of the products. This leads to a more confident and a more loyal customer base for not just the brand or chain but for the entire concept of franchise stores hence increasing the footfalls to any particular location among other things. Restaurant Operations are a typically complicated as they have to be able to build on the concept that even the most complicated products are made in the simplest and most effective manner by the most unexpected source of manpower. Simpletons who have very little or no training or background of the industry are usually introduced to the operations as entry-level crew and trained on the job by means of an intricate system of operations broken up and Franchising is the best way to expand to various territories in a fast and effective way without the need of a large network of highly skilled individuals or the need to have a super costly core management team for each store “ “ CXO Standpoint Rohan Bhatt- 26 JULY 2016 - Rohan

CXO Standpoint Rohan Bhatt, Founder & Head Consultant of Square Consulting, is a Franchise & Hospitality Consulting professional with over 11 years of hands on experience in developing and sustaining franchise brands across India. He has headed the expansion and franchising part of various brands such as La Marque World Dining, Singh Saaab Di Rasoi, Unique Brew Café, Moodies Restro Café, Tasty Khaman, Mexican Rodeo & The Dough Company. His acute sense of retailing & hospitality and his innovative restaurant support & development systems make him an integral part of the team showing the company’s commitment to not just large numbers but systematic development & support for the large number of stores planned in the network. He has also provided end to end solutions for various brands on a strategic level which gives the businesses a correct direction for organic and sustainable growth. simplified to a great degree of detail by effective restaurant systems. Creating such systems is no child’s play and requires the highest skills and knowledge of operations and franchising. Brands take the decisions like developing a correct business operations plan and expansion well in advance to accommodate the possibility of major problems at later stages. Every business needs a proof of concept and the flagship store or the pioneer store of a potential franchise system usually has one (or more) profitable prototypes across the business models to highlight the strengths of the business model in a variety of scenarios. However, a correct expansion plan is of utmost importance as gradual growth and planning are important to sustain and manage growth considering the importance of correct logistics and material management, organizational support and observation and support from the HQ to the units etc., which are crucial for the growth of the business model. India has been one of the late bloomers in the field of Franchising and Organized restaurant industry both and this has been more of a blessing for the market dynamics as the factors like economy and society development has taken major leaps only in the past two decades and eating out has evolved a lot. The Indian Growth story largely loses its shine to the fact that the brands that are opting for Franchise route for their expansion are either locally run stores with a considerable home market value or brands that have ambition and uniqueness of concept but are not at all financially ready to take the required steps. Important aspects of franchise marketing like branding and organizing resources to display the franchise opportunity on a more practical and real way. The whole idea of franchising is just to make more money in India by way of Franchise Fees and post-sales support and organizing operations is still a distant reality for India and the considerably small number of brands that do so have achieved unmatched success and growth through this excellent medium of expansion. In conclusion, the first generation entrepreneurs who want to enter the industry in a correct way with genuine serious efforts made behind developing brands and business models is what makes the franchise opportunity worthwhile. The business owners need to have more faith in the business model and should be able to stick around a little longer to give the franchisee unit holders what they want to run their units successfully. 27JULY 2016

  • 34. India Is Becoming the World’s Fastest Growing Startup Ecosystem n recent years, the Indian startup ecosystem has really Itaken off and come into focus on its own-driven by factors such as massive funding, consolidation activities, evolving technology and a burgeoning domestic market. The numbers are depicting-from approx. 3000 startups in 2014 to a projection of more than approx. 11000 by 2020, this is surely not a passing trend. It’s just a revolution. And in India, it’s will change the way the markets are working today. Disruptive Startups from India A lot of startups in India have entered in the industry either unearthing an entirely new market or through gaps in existing markets or product lines. Although there are various successful startups that are growing rapidly and changing how an existing industry works in the process like Paytm, Redbus, InMobi, Housing.com, Zivame, AdPushup to name a few. This listing is not only exhaustive but it also serves as an appetizer for delving deep into the world of the Indian startup ecosystem which is the 4th largest on the entire planet. Indian Startup Ecosystem Enablers In India startups have given rise to more startups. Enablers, accelerators, and incubators are firms providing startups with growth advice and decision-making tools. From advising on government policies to act as market catalysts, they grow the maturity of young ventures. Enablers like iSpirt and NASSCOM brought together key stakeholders of the ecosystem including startup accelerators, incubators, venture capitalists, angel investors, support groups, technology corporations and mentors. Simply, their main aim is to provide funding and support for startups. Closing Thoughts While coming out of their difficult ruts Indian investors as well as investors abroad are becoming experimental, yet extremely well- informed decision makers. But still funding activities are the biggest driving factors in any startup ecosystem. The average valuation of an Indian startup is $2.3 million as compared to $4.2 million of an American one. 43 percent of product/digital organizations are focusing on the global market and 28 percent continue to be technology hotspots. With a 59 percent of B2C, 37 percent of B2B, and 4 percent of B2C/ B2B startups, this ecosystem Market Dashboard 32 JULY 2016
  • 35. has a lot of ground to cover in terms of securing funding. What Indian Ecosystem Gets Right Technology acquisition, customer acquisition, acqui-hiring and market consolidation are the main drivers for increase in M&A of Indian startups. With increase of momentum in M&A in India, investors are getting more exit opportunities. Startups are adopting innovative approaches to attract and retain top talent. What It Gets Wrong Indian startups are often asserted for copying foreign startups. It is seen quite often that they don’t have a proper scaling plan. There is always a need for directional efforts to help them in increasing their supportive government policies. What Other Ecosystems Can Learn From This Nowadays, startups are consolidating fast and eagerly buying other startups. Successful entrepreneurs are taking initiation to support other emerging startups by mentoring them through various channels. Young entrepreneurs are dominating the startup landscape with a larger percent of founders in the age bracket of less than 36 years. Women entrepreneurs have started becoming more prominent in the innovation economy. In the near future, listing of various startups is touted to be the next big frontier. Every day, a lot is written about funded startups, unicorns, fund raising startups, that often, cockroach startups never get the limelight, even for the right reasons. Several companies are preparing for initial share sales, but these will most likely happen in startup heavens and not in India. Today, predictions made for startups are more in number compared to the startups themselves. But the interest these few companies are generating cannot be undermined. Conclusion To summarize   in terms of revenue, growth and active userbase, entrepreneurs believe that they have done a fair job despite being a bootstrapped / self-funded and are already ahead compared to many funded startups in this space. The fast growing product and startup ecosystem in the country provides a platform to engage with thought leaders in the product space and discuss issues of common interest. One can only wonder what these funded competitors have been doing whose growth, revenue and active userbase is quite low. The pressure of investor is already mounting on a few who are ‘globally expanding to Malaysia, Indonesia’ for namesake! It is clear that they must be struggling to raise their next round of funding. Vanity metrics can only get them so far. Market Dashboard 33JULY 2016

Their services don’t stop here - they’re providing advanced banking grade security using private / public encryption keys, EMV / 3DES security and encryption, contactless capability for instant, low cost micro payments, a self-service and an assisted service model / menu offering, enabling low cost mPOS terminals on the same hardware - regular and contactless, virtual card issuance - zero cost card management for the issuers, Customer “pull” / Merchant “push” payment capabilities with a user alias, added security in transactions, Banking, wallets, money transfers, bill payments, top-up, cards and more on the same platform. Catering to both user segemenets - an existing company, wanting to bring on additional capabilities for their customers or a new company wanting to start afresh on everything, they help MasterPass as a contactless solution on any device is futuristic and a roadmap for expanding financial services at the bottom of the pyramid. Adding the 2 Factor Authentication (now 3 factor) for online / mobile payments without the SMS based OTP, secure tokenisation of customer ID mapped to Aadhaar#, cards / bank accounts or any other digital identity, enhances transaction security. EMV capability with Contactless Payments on any mobile device brings in a lot more capabilities to the service envelope. Venturous behind NextGen Taron Mohan, CEO of NextGen Telesolutions, a dynamic entrepreneur, graduated in Engineering from IIT Delhi. From building engineering products which included music systems to Air-jet weaving looms for Mafatlals, to backpacking across Europe in a princely sum of USD 1000 for 6 weeks which included a Eurail pass, food and stay, he graduated to set up the country’s first precision sheet metal fabrication facility for the electronics, communication and telecom industry. In 1994, he moved into cutting edge CAD / CAM services for the sheet metal industry. Later than he came in the mobile boom and set up the country’s first mobile VAS service company - Phoneytunes.com. Next, he dabbled a bit into HD Glass Free 3D screens for mobile devices / laptops / PC screens in partnership with a laboratory in Korea and also Green power solutions for Telecom Towers. Unfortunately, he could not move in well into these and then moved into building and enabling secure payments on mobile devices - looking at the ecosystem differently and as a technology solution, breaking the regular moulds of the banking industry. This is where he build this add a new service avenue to help clients tap an uptapped and yet a very large customer base for secure financial services. NextGen has built a lot of innovation and unique design features into their solution to make it unique, disruptive, different and future proof. This approach enabled them innovate with the solution and take to the industry a product offering meeting or exceeding their current service requirements. NextGen’s next development on enabling any mobile device become a secure contactless terminal for Merchants and the capability to upgrade any mobile device to a contactless device, with EMV certifications, further broadens the scope of a fully digital ecosystem for payments. We can replace any Visa / Master Card / Rupay card virtually on a secure microSD card, thereby, working towards a 100% virtual ecosystem for payments. The company enjoys learning and working with the banking sector - handling multiple banking switches, encryption and data security at the lowest end of the mobile devices and then building an easy to use interface for their partners to use. Most Secure and Affordable Ecosystem By bringing wallets and direct integrations with cards and banking services at every user mobile device, NextGen hopes to bring about a change in the way consumers transact at any point. A major factor to enabling these services at the lowest end of the pyramid is the capital cost and the operational costs for the services. This is our strength and we’re expanding on this - building an extremely low cost ecosystem for merchants and consumers for secure transactions at every transaction point. Working not as a banking solution provider, but more as a “Fintech Solution provider”, we brought in a lot of integrations which are different, yet imperative to help grow the overall Financial Inclusion ecosystem “ “ JULY 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 The 20 Fastest Growing Companies 2016 43
  • 46. Effective Growth Strategies for Small Businesses Effective Growth Strategies for Small Businesses very businessman wants a growth in Etheir business, whether it is small or medium scale business. Most of the businessmen are successful in it, with the way they implement for maintaining the revenue of the business. But how do you scale your business? There are few strategies for small business growth that have been implemented by successful businessmen again and again. And these are the basic growth strategies for all businesses - without any restriction of space, area, or the type of an industry, that can follow to generate new revenues. No matter from which industry you are, from Google, Microsoft or a small scale industry these growth strategies are useful to achieve higher levels of success. I cannot say that each strategy will come without any risk, that’s why we call them businessmen backers. They do it with the right planning, proper implementation, and right team selection, which are the key factors to grow their business. Below are the strategies for you: 1. Improve Your Product Offering something unique or different products or services than others will help you to grow your business. For an instance, think about Nike brand who adds some new features to its sneakers to improve them. And what about Reebok? Did anyone really need sneakers with a pump in the tongue when they debuted back in the 1980s? Definitely not, but improvements are raised sales of nike, because people chose Reebok Pump sneakers, still they made a comeback in 2015 as the ZPump Fusion. Ask Yourself: How can I improve my current product or service to make it superb? What characters can I increase which will differ my product or service? Can I try any new marketing strategies to attract my customers to reach, that they don’t know before that? 2. Widen Your Audience Second strategy to upgrade your small business is to further enlarge the market you operate in by getting customer outside of your available target audiences to begin choosing your product or service. Remember when Buick needed to appeal to teenagers and diverse audience? The firm recruited Tiger Woods to appear in their commercials. Ask Yourself: How do I change or modify my marketing strategies and messaging ways to appeal new audiences? Where can I advertise my product or service to draw attention of new audiences? What do new audiences require from a product or service like mine, and does my product or service provide that? Or do I need to improve your existing product or service?
