With the help of state-of-art technology and 24/7 availability, the company is gaining the trust and faith of several new customers. From booking to delivery of a product, customers can track their orders in realtime.

However, technology can provide only the infrastructure for business. It takes reliable leaders to make a company trustworthy for its customers. Smartr Logistics is helmed by the Indian logistics industry’s most dependable leader. He is the company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. Before Smartr Logistics, Mr. Dhingra had worked as CFO, COO, and CSO in Blue Dart and as an Independent Director in Ecom Express Pvt. Ltd..

The vision of the founders behind starting a new-age logistics brand is to provide quality service to customers at competitive pricing thereby reducing the overall logistics cost of the country. Smartr Logistics is set out to be an excellent business that provides one-stop solutions to all kinds of logistical needs. Most startups are indeed incepted with similar big visions. However, what sets Smartr Logistics’ inception apart from others is the launch of several successful services soon after its inception. The company launched its first set of services in October 2021. It worked at such a quick pace that it is now present in over 80+ big cities across India with more than 115+ smartr service centres. Every delivery product or service is successfully launched according to the extensive product roadmap. But the plans of Smartr Logistics do not just stop there. The brand will shortly launch many express products including Ground Express, International Express, International Freight, and Hyperlocal.

Stalwart Group

Headquartered in Mumbai, Stalwart World is the brainchild of an effervescent first-time entrepreneur Ms. Divyashikha Gupta. It is a group of 4 business entities that focus on distinct businesses. All of the units have one thing in common that they all partner with entrepreneurs to create self sustaining and scalable business models driven by technology and innovation.

Stalwart Group was started by Ms. Gupta in 2009 after she quit a very promising corporate career to start her own venture – which was also her lifelong dream. She is a first generation entrepreneur which basically means that she has no family history of running a business. It was all new turf for her when she started the Stalwart Group. With a passion to fulfil her dream, she began her journey and never looked back. Gradually, she has built a successful self-sustaining business. The various units of Stalwart make it a syndicate of technology and innovation.

ALL ABOUT STALWART

Her first brand Stalwart Business Consortium LLP is India’s first and only 360 degree Integrated Sales Implementation organization that partners with FMCG brands to increase sales. Its basic principle is to partner with F&B and FMCG brands to help them increase sales. Its business model includes offering the clients tangible retail sales and distribution solutions to build their presence in general trade, modern trade, HORECA channels, and marketplaces. Under her vision, it is working to build India’s largest and widest sales and distribution network.

The second brand under the umbrella of Stalwart World is Stalwart Management Consulting (SMC). It is primarily an HR solutions company that matches organizations’ human resources requirements to the talent. It has proven expertise in building sustainable and competitive teams for its clients.

SMC provides a range of services like talent acquisition, advisory, and consulting solutions to HR Analytics and outsourcing. It has earned a reputed name for itself and has been a trusted partner for some of the top Fortune 100 companies globally.

The third business that Stalwart Group runs is called Stalwart Wellness. As the name suggests, it is a wellness program aimed at its clients’ employees. This program ensures the all-around wellness of the employees throughout their employment cycle with their partners. It provides a holistic service to the clients’ workforce which results in an increased human capital-output and a generally content workforce.

Stalwart-YOU 7.0 – another Stalwart World’s offering is Learning Organization that designs experiential learning modules and links business objectives to the outcomes. These programs are again for the employees of Stalwart’s partners and are a step in building the workforce for the future.

Ms. Gupta runs a tight ship at Stalwart when it comes to values and ethics.

Bidzapp

A one of its kind neo-auction platform in the internet publishing space, Bidzapp has made product auctioning and bidding smarter, exciting, and faster. All you need to do is download it, watch the ‘How It Works’ video, and participate in the process. The app offers rewarding experiences to the users.

Even if you don’t win an auction, you can still get the product at the ‘Best Online Price’ or earn discount coupons from premium brands.

The auctions go live daily, weekly, or at the time of megadeal seasons. Their duration lasts between 5-15 minutes, and all the products offered come with a full warranty. Bidzapp picks up and delivers products only from the authorized sellers, thus ensuring hassle-free end-to-end fulfillment services.

MULTIPLE PARTNERS OFFERING DIVERSE PRODUCT CATEGORIES

Bidzapp offers multiple auction categories — you name it and they have it. The list covers electronics, entertainment, automobiles, petroleum and gas, fashion, mobiles, groceries, gaming, food delivery, dining, digital payment and appliances. Bidzapp has also partnered with well established brands like Samsung, Big Bazaar, IFB, Oppo, Big Basket, PayTM, Myntra, Hyundai, Honda, Sony, Nykaa, Asus, MI, Swiggy, Domino’s and Realme and others for listing their respective products and services.

There are two types of skill-based auctions that you can participate in on Bidzapp Classic Auction and Regular Auction. In classic auctions, the users need only strategy to win the auction while in regular auctions, the users need both strategy and speed. In a classic auction, the users get the same number of bids as the number of bid windows (~18 bid windows = 18 bids and they can place the bid at any time during the bid window of 15 secs. However, they need strategy to decide if they want to bid in every window. In a regular auction, all the users are given the same amount of limited bids (10) per auction. The users decide in which Bid Round to use their bid. The fastest bid placed in a bid window is the one that is accepted.

TIPS TO BECOME A BIDZAPPER

To participate in this skill-based and fun-filled auction from the comfort of personal/professional space, the person needs to be over 18 years and should necessarily be an Indian resident. The first step is to choose an auction category; second, pay the auction entry fee.

Then, play unlimited practice auctions to get the hang of playing auctions online. The fourth step is to smartly play (~bid) the live auction you actually paid for. Next, give your best shot to win the auction (~fingers crossed), and the last step is to claim your reward.

You can participate in as many auctions as you like but remember that the products/vouchers/coupons that you win through Bidzapp cannot be exchanged for actual money. The platform provides you with virtual money (Bidzy points) that you can use for payment. However, they must be used before their expiry date, so remember that time is money here.

BACKED BY STAR INVESTORS

Seeing the rising popularity and the promising future of the platform, Mr. Hardik Pandya (India’s leading all rounder) has signed up as an investor for the company. When asked the reason for choosing Bidzapp, Hardik says that he personally relates to Bidzapp because the online application is truly an all rounder too — fast, fun, skill-based, and of great value to the listed brands and the participants.

The best part is that even the participants who don’t win the auction can earn rewards; so there are no sad faces going back. All in all, Bidzapp provides a new and thrilling experience for millions of India’s online shoppers.

Wisdom Capital

A decade ago, Deb Mukherjee pioneered the groundbreaking idea of a no-brokerage fee share trading platform and launched Wisdom Capital at a time when all stockbrokers were demanding high brokerage fees. Later, he paired the zero brokerage strategy with the idea of financial market leverage and bagged many clients. Wisdom Capital abandoned the traditional trading approach, ventured into unchartered waters, and rose to prominence in the stock broking sector. With technology integration, he revolutionized online share trading in the country. Wisdom Capital had the first mover advantage by introducing the “Free Trade & Investment Zone” and surfed through the capital markets in a way no one had anticipated. Many well known businesses, particularly premium brokerage and securities firms, followed the same course as that of the Wisdom Capital and benefited from the trend set by the company.

EXPERIENCE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Recently, SEBI introduced a new set of regulations (Peak Margin Circular 2020) that forbids the use of leverage in India’s Futures and Options market. It has made it difficult to determine the regulator’s preference. Moreover, more and more people are choosing to invest their money in fixed-income securities rather than the stock market. Wisdom Capital predicts that these changes will restrict bulk traders from participating in market trading. Consequently, it will lead to a decrease in volumes, and hence liquidity. It also implicated that one of the most significant effects of the SEBI’s recent activities has been a decrease in retail involvement. It will also make it impossible for most market participants to compete on an even playing field. Therefore, Wisdom Capital thought of another cutting-edge way to draw customers to the financial markets. A fixed deposit (FD) interest rate set by banks will serve as the benchmark for the interest rate Wisdom Capital would pay on the money and assets kept by its customers in trust. In this way, the trading community will get an upper hand and the financial safety net provided by an FD while trading in the stock market.

INNOVATIVE MARKETING TOOLS

Big financial institutions and huge broking companies would monopolize in the future as a direct result of the regulations set by SEBI. Again to cope with the stressful times, Wisdom Capital is leaving no stone unturned to stimulate retail involvement to weaken the monopolistic system supported by the regulator and has developed yet another unconventional solution, Wisdom Tree Private Limited. Despite the enormity of the endeavor Wisdom Tree will concentrate mostly on algorithmic trading-base product baskets. The company currently provides free APIs and other ALGO-based tools that give traders flexibility when creating trading strategies.

Not only this, Wisdom Tree will promote Best ALGO, an ALGO-based website, and Quant Power, a tool that will enable traders to build, back test, fine-tune, and execute trading strategies tailored to the specific requirements of a trader. A handful of the ALGO-related items will be provided to customers without charge, within the regulatory and compliance parameters established by SEBI.

Wisdom Capital, one of the finest discount brokers in India, is assisting the new generation of traders by offering the most ingenious trading tools and technological prowess supported by a progressive technological platform. It is also pulling out all the stops by using the legal process to contest SEBI’s Peak Margin Circular. Undoubtedly, the entrepreneurial and industrious efforts of Wisdom Capital will enable it to chart new territories of success in the sector.

Dyna Biotech

Constant technological advancement is the pillar that makes the biotech and biopharma industry stand. If the advancement stagnates, these industries will lose their essence for the betterment of humanity. Dyna Biotech is constantly innovating new, cost-effective biotech solutions to keep the essence alive. This constant innovation for over nine years has made the biotech company an industry leader. Dyna Biotech manufactures, validates, installs, and services a broad spectrum of biopharma and biotech equipments.

THE VISIONARY FOUNDER

The company was founded by Dr. Vinodkumar Patil on 1st April 2013 with a vision to make Dyna Biotech a leading Biotech equipment manufacturing company.

Dr. Patil completed his master’s degree in Microbiology in 1993. Though he studied Microbiology as his major subject, he had interests in engineering too. This made him capable of innovating, validating, and launching new products, a linchpin in every company where he worked. In his diversified experience of more than 27 years, Dr. Patil worked with biotech pioneers such as Shantha Biotech (Sanofi Group company), Braun Biotech (Germany), and the Serum Institute of India. While working with these firms, he held senior positions with increasing responsibilities and was responsible for steroid transformation, antibiotics production, optimization, product launch, and other similar work.

Dr. Patil was instrumental in validating and launching many products successfully. But with his body of knowledge and experience, he envisioned doing something even bigger in the realm of Biotech and Biopharma.

WORLDWIDE PRESENCE

The expertise of Dyna Biotech is recognized all over the globe. Today, the company serves clients from the United States, Germany, Turkey, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Bangladesh. Since the company believes in providing quality services as much as doing innovations in manufacturing, it has established sales and marketing, and services offices in Thailand and Bangkok too.

NEC Corporation India

True to its Japanese heritage, NEC has carved a niche for itself owing to its impeccable standards and technology. The commitment to deliver excellence and innovation in all areas of operation is the secret behind the company’s advances in the Information, Communication and Digital Technology.

With projected revenues of $30 billion, NEC is among the world’s pioneers in biometrics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data analytics, and face and iris recognition. NEC has been ranked as a Visionary for its contribution to upscaling the 5G network infrastructure. The firm’s ranking in this category is also recognition of its unrivalled expertise in technological innovation that empowers people and businesses.

BOLSTERING DIGITALIZATION IN INDIA

The Fortune 500 company, NEC Corporation began operations in India in the 1950s. It started with offices in the metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, New Delhi and Bangalore. Since then, it has played a crucial role in India’s digital transformation and has been at the helm of delivering turnkey projects for both central and the state governments. NEC’s motto — “Better Products, Better Services”— has helped cement India-Japan relations over the last 70 years.

The company has made incredible contributions to India’s networking connectivity by building a robust digital infrastructure to achieve significant improvements in productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness.

Be it enabling the entire multimodal biometric authentication for UIDAI or creating a Face Recognition System for the Surat City Police, the company has been actively engaged in realizing the vision of Digital India. From completing the mammoth 2314-km long Chennai Andaman & Nicobar Islands (CANI) undersea optical fiber cable project (with 100Gb/s optical waves) in August 2020 to collaborating with various state governments on the ‘Preventive Digital Healthcare’ model for Indian citizens, the organization has played a pivotal role in building the digital infrastructure in India.

The firm also collaborated with telecom service providers and government bodies to create high capacity backhaul capabilities for 5G. Setting up the first open Radio Access Network (RAN) laboratory in December 2020 in Chennai is also to its credit. The company has achieved many such notable business milestones as a part of its initiative: “In India, For India and From India For Global.’’

NEC has also demonstrated its prowess in leading smart city transformation projects. It has successfully implemented large and complex ICT projects as the master system integrator in cities across India. The firm has also won the bid of the Kochi-Lakshadweep Islands undersea optical fibre cable link project, which will further enable the implementation of e-Governance initiatives and boost tourism.

VISION FOR THE FUTURE

With eyes set on growth, NEC India has spent more than 84,000 hours upskilling and training its people. A result of this was the launch of LEAP, a new leadership academy designed to groom senior employees to become the leaders of tomorrow. The company is also mindful of its responsibility towards environment, and is actively investing in building sustainable technology ecosystems.

The company has set the target of reducing CO2 emissions by the year 2050. Recognizing NEC’s significant contribution to corporate sustainability, the international non-profit organization CDP has listed it on its prestigious “A-List” for three years in a row.
