           Big Basket team was earlier set up India's first 
e-commerce site FabMart.com in 1999, and then established the 
Fabmall-Trinethra chain of more than 200 grocery supermarket stores in 
southern India.  They founded BigBasket in December 2011 as an India's 
largest online supermarket with a presence in over 25 cities in India. 
Let’s read the story of the company and the man behind it – Hari Menon! 
Hari Menon was the Cofounder, CEO and Head of Merchandising at 
Bigbasket.com.<br />
<br />
<strong>Childhood and Education</strong><br />
Hari
 was born in 1963. Hari was born into a middle-class family that lived 
in Bandra, Mumbai, and was always taught to lead a live that gave him a 
settled live, a stable job, etc… It was the urge to experiment that 
pushed him to try out something new.<br />
<br />
Hari is an alumnus of BITS 
Pilani and is married to ‘Shanti Menon’ – principal of ‘The Deen’s 
Academy’ (Bangalore). She is also the daughter of ‘E Shreedharan’, the 
man behind the Delhi Metro. Personally, he considers himself to be a 
Music enthusiast, and also wishes to play in a band someday. He is also 
an avid cricket fan and a member of the ‘Karnataka Cricket Association’ 
as well.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Spark</strong><br />
Hari Menon, co founder 
and CEO of Big Basket started his career with ORG Systems and worked 
with TVS Electronics, Wipro InfoTech and Integrated Data Systems.  His 
wide exposure in these companies and subsequently in the education &
 training space in Manipal over the last few years has placed Hari in a 
unique position to guide India Skills in making an impactful 
contribution to the skills development sector in India. Before his entry
 into the education sector, Hari co-founded Fabmall - a pioneer in 
internet and grocery retail, wherein he handled a gamut of 
responsibilities including strategic business planning, raising venture 
capital, building organizational capabilities and creating a strong IT 
platform for the retail business. Prior to Fabmall, Hari headed 
Programme Management at Planetasia.com wherein he oversaw large scale 
project deliveries involving a wide team of software developers, 
business analysts, web designers& web writers. Then he co founded 
Bigbasket in December 2011 in Bangalore by a team of five - V S 
Sudhakar, Hari Menon, Vipul Parekh, V S Ramesh and Abhinay Choudhari.<br />
<br />
<strong>What Is Big Basket?</strong><br />
Bigbasket
 is  founded and operated by ‘Supermarket Grocery Supplies Pvt. Ltd.’ It
 has  more than 14000 products and over 1000 brands listed on their 
catalogue – BigBasket is known as the  India’s largest online food and 
grocery store. It offers a wide range of options in every category to 
provide you with the best quality products at the lowest prices which 
include – fresh Rice and Dal, Fruits and Vegetables, Spices and 
Seasonings, Packaged products, Beverages, Personal care products, Meats,
 and many more items.<br />
<br />
While, BigBasket is an online based company 
and does not have any brick and mortar stores. It is very simple to 
order as you need to visit bigbasket.com and choose the products you 
wish to purchase then add the items to your Shopping Basket and the Big 
Basket team offer 4 slots per day. Finally chose a convenient payment 
option (Cash, Sodexo, Credit Card)   then products would be delivered to
 your house.<br />
<br />
Currently they are widespread across the locations 
like Mumbai, Delhi, Mysore, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Vijayawada-Guntur, 
Pune, Chennai, Madurai, Coimbatore, etc...<br />
<br />
<strong>The Growth</strong><br />
It
 all began in 1999. Hari Menon along with five of his friends – VS 
Sudhakar, Vipul Parekh , Abhinay Choudhari  and V S Ramesh launched 
their online retail website called ‘Fabmart’.<br />
<br />
Even though they did
 manage to get some traction but since their idea was way ahead of its 
time, they could not shake the masses. And to worsen the whole deal, the
 dotcom bubble burst happened.<br />
<br />
That is when they decided to put 
the online business on the backseat and focused all the energies on 
‘Fabmall’, their physical retail chain of grocery stores. They also 
merged this chain with another grocery retail chain called – 
‘Trinethra’.<br />
<br />
Anyway, in a matter of seven years, they expanded 
their business to 200 stores across Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, 
Karnataka and Kerala. Around the same time, they also decided to 
sell-off the business to Aditya Birla Group.<br />
<br />
That is when they 
thought of getting back to their original idea online grocery store. As 
their discussion deepened with serial entrepreneur Krishnan Ganesh, they
 concluded to go ahead with it. The idea was collectively seeded by 
serial entrepreneurs and angel investors Krishnan and Meena Ganesh. And 
finally in December 2011, they launched BigBasket.com!<br />
<br />
Soon after 
the launch, they also received their first funding of $10 Mn from 
ChrysCapital co-founder Raj Kondur and Ascent Capital. He had earlier 
invested $4 Mn in Fabmart as well.<br />
<br />
According to Hari, the first 
six to nine months were the most challenging ones. Since they had 
already faced the heat once with Fabmart, the pressure was even more. 
The biggest challenge for them was to create and maintain a building 
capacity to meet customer demand.<br />
<br />
This was even more commendable, 
since they were barely advertising about the brand and mainly relied on 
word of mouth. As per their stats, more than 45 % of their customers 
came through references.<br />
<br />
By the next one year, they had already 
expanded to Hyderabad and Mumbai, and were also planning to further 
increase their services in Delhi, Chennai Pune, Ahmedabad and Kolkata as
 well.<br />
<br />
BigBasket also roped in Bollywood actor – ‘Shah Rukh Khan’ 
as their brand ambassador, for an undisclosed sum; following which, they
 also launched a high volume television, digital and print media 
campaign as well.<br />
<br />
<strong>BigBasket Business model</strong><br />
BigBasket
 team along with Hari menon has effectively managed to attain and 
maintain their success by using various strategies which mainly surround
 three important factors:<br />
<ul>
<li>Unmatchable Customer Service (in all aspects)</li>
<li>A large variety of products</li>
<li>An constant innovation using technology</li>
</ul>
Now
 the grocery business in India is mainly divided into two types i.e. 
Planned Purchase and Top-up Purchase. When BigBasket started their 
operations, it adopted the ‘just-in-time model’ – wherein not only 
perishable good but every item was brought against an order. In other 
words, they were purchased-to-order. In this model, the delivery boy 
directly picks up the item from the vendor, and directly delivers it to 
the customer. They still use this model for quite-a-few items like 
Bakery items, Pet food, Small household appliances, etc. which are not 
feasible to store.<br />
<br />
Over the period of time, as their business 
grew, they moved on to an ‘inventory model’ (for most of its products), 
and BigBasket now buys products directly from suppliers like – HUL, 
P&G, farmers, mills, etc and then stocks these in warehouses. 
BigBasket then adds a margin to the purchased price of the product 
before selling them.<br />
<br />
They have a completely automated process of 
initial inventory stocking and post its completion, re-ordering! The 
company uses analytics to predict their weekly demand, with the help of 
which they optimize their logistics and supply volumes to drive better 
margins.<br />
<br />
This ‘Single-point stocking’ greatly helps the company to
 strictly manage the shrinkage and rejection of products, and also helps
 them to invest the saved money in advertising as well.<br />
More 
recently, BigBasket has been seen adopting a hyper local strategy, 
wherein, it has partnered with more than 1,800 neighborhood grocery 
stores across India to deliver goods in under an hour.<br />

<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null"><strong> </strong></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Serial entrepreneurs have an uncanny knack of seeing 
success in things others may choose to ignore or perhaps be oblivious 
of. That is why they are on a constant quest to look for opportunities 
that others may not even think as possible. Take for example, Marc Lore,
 the president and Chief Executive Officer of Walmart e-Commerce’s US, 
who has for almost two decades both founded and spun off companies at a 
whopping profit. Each venture that he put his hand on was a success for 
him. Right from the first company that he founded to his recent 
association with America’s biggest retailer Walmart – everything has 
been ever-so-shrewd.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Very few have had that kind of almost 
single-handed success with so many start-ups as Lore has. Starting off 
as a banker and then taking up executive roles at some of the leading 
financial institutions had helped shape his intrinsic fiber that leaned 
heavily toward savings – something that struck a chord with dozens of 
investors all along, who came in heaps to invest in almost every company
 that he founded or co-founded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That besides there was always 
novelty in what he tried to accomplish – something that adversaries 
seemed to have missed. Take for example his diapers.com for families, 
and wag.com for pet owners. These were simple and unassuming businesses 
that dealt with the day-to-day needs of families.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is these 
types of initiatives that have caught the eye of investors who saw a lot
 of value unlocking if they invested his ventures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Education and early jobs</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lore
 had his education from the Bucknell University as well as The Wharton 
School (University of Pennsylvania). From the Bucknell University he 
earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management/Economics (cum 
laude) while he is currently on leave from the Wharton School of the 
University of Pennsylvania. He is also a CFA Charterholder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He 
then went on to do a few jobs that not only sharpened his 
entrepreneurial skills but also bestowed him with the much needed 
business perspectives that would serve him well when he became an 
entrepreneur.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The various investment banking positions was with 
Credit Suisse First Boston as the vice-president of the risk management 
division of its emerging markets business and then he headed the risk 
management division of the Sanwa International Bank (London).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> The entrepreneur…</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After
 almost half-a-decade or so of working in various banking positions, 
Lore now set about his entrepreneurial journey. He then co-founded The 
Pit Inc.,an Internet market-making collectible company constructed that 
was floated as an alternative to eBay. Lore sold The Pit Inc., to the 
Topps Company in 2001, and what’s more, he also went on to become the 
Chief Operating Officer of one of the Topps Company’s subsidiaries 
called Wizkids, Inc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a few years he co-founded his next big 
venture called the company called 1800DIAPERS. The inception of this 
came about through his realization of his own family’s problem of 
keeping baby-care goods in stock. Thus he joined hands with Vinit 
Bharara to start this company that met the needs of such families. They 
would bring few more family-needs oriented companiescalled as soap.com, 
wag.com, act. that they ran under one parent company called Quidsi. In 
no time the duo were successful in building a building a loyal customer 
base for each of these companies. The customers would invariably be 
young couples who found themselves missing a thing or two while managing
 their toddlers, and for whom these were like handy and very convenient.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
 a period of seven years starting from 2005 when they had started 
diapers.com upto 2012, Lore initiated a spate of measures that would 
help the company gain the competitive edge – mainly through 
cost-savings.In fact, Lore’s measures such as improving the economics of
 shipping bulky and low-margin products like diapers to their customers 
bysetting-up warehouses as close tothe urban areas as possible so as to 
be in a position to take advantage of bare shipping rates besides also 
brought in algorithms to minimize shipping cost, and topped it all by 
conducting warehouse operations using robots (Kiva).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Competition to Amazon…?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While
 it might sound a bit stretched to say that a start-up made of assorted 
items specifically for young couples only could challenge the might of a
 global behemoth, the Goliath – Amazon itself was weighing options to 
buy off Quidsi. It could be partly because Quidsi companies may end up 
threatening Amazon’s baby-care business and partly because Lore’s 
companies had succeeded in building up a very good customer base.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So,
 it would appear that Amazon did decide to acquire Quidsi (and of course
 the companies under its stable) after much deliberation as there were 
many aspects to it than just competition and the potential loss of 
revenue. Quidsi brought in a whopping $550 million to Lore and its 
share-holders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lore didn’t stop there. Like he had done with the 
sale of The Pit Inc., to the Topps Company, he again assumed a position 
of responsibility at Amazon and stayed there for a couple years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Jet, set, go</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As
 is their wont, entrepreneurs are always on the look-out for new 
business opportunities. It is even more prevalent with serial 
entrepreneurs because these guys are an aggressive lot. And so it was 
with Lore. After the Quidsi sale to Amazon was done and dusted and he 
had a peek into the functioning of how the world’s largest online 
retailer worked and of course not before adding so much value to its 
operations, Lore felt it was time for yet another venture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This 
time he co-founded an e-commerce company called Jet.com. The other 
co-founders were Nate Faust and Mike Hanrahan. Like before, this time 
round as well there was much interest from investors in the venture to 
be floated by Lore and company. The trio raised about $80 million and 
started work on the platform.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The USP of the platform was 
something unheard and unseen of. If its Lore, it could be expected that 
he would come up with something like Jet.com – an e-commerce platform in
 the face of so many others only if he had something up his sleeve that 
was distinct enough to attract customers to its fold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His plan was
 to compensate or reward customers for word-of-mouth publicity with 
stock options. This wasn’t heard of. Thus a campaign was launched under 
which Jet.com offered stock options to users who generated word-of-mouth
 for the company in advance of launch. It eventually became a shopping 
club with an annual membership fee that would allow members to access 
all products with the lowest prices – and that too on millions of items.
 The membership fee was subsequently taken off (Oct 2015) to retain the 
customer base.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even as Jet.com was in the process of generating 
the intended interest and bringing in membership and some sales, it had 
done enough to set investors thinking about its potential. As a result, 
Lore was successful in creating a huge valuation for a company that 
hadn’t yet delivered on the scale to be able to command such a 
valuation. So, all one can say it that such high valuation could be 
attributed to the goodwill of the people behind it and the idea they 
wanted to forward. Thus, we can see that it all boiled down to 
brand-Lore to make such valuation possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Walmart e-Commerce U.S. beckoned</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
 situation was fertile for both Lore and Walmart. The retail giant had 
been struggling for some time to make it really count offline as well 
having missed the early days of the e-commerce when it would have given 
it a level-playing field with the others such as Amazon and eBay. But, 
having missed that phase and now finding itself in a situation where it 
was increasingly threatened by the online players, which had begun to 
make a dent into its topline, Walmart was looking to add some net-savvy 
force behind its e-commerce platform.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who better than Marc Lore 
could drive that forward? And yet again, for a straight third-time, Lore
 was able to successfully sell one of his companies to a bigger giant 
and take on a position of responsibility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walmart bought Jet.com 
for a whopping $3 Billion and also made a deal which would see Lore 
assuming the leadership of the company’s e-Commerce US operations and 
make it good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lore and Doug McMillon – the CEO of Walmart – had 
deep discussions as how to revamp the online presence of the company and
 make it count. They have already set in motion many plans under the 
guidance and leadership of the proven visionary, Marc Lore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marc 
Lore has always tasted success with everything that he has done or was 
involved in. Will he be successful yet again? Well one cannot really say
 as this time round he is pitted against none other than Jeff Bezos – an
 equally enterprising and proven visionary. While it may not actually be
 a Goliath Vs David but Marc Lore and Walmart are really up against it.</div>

<strong> </strong><br />
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Should an entrepreneur be necessarily making only money? 
Not in the least – as proved by Dr. Srinubabu Gedela, the founder, CEO, 
and managing director of OMICs which is one of the world’s biggest 
publishers of open access journals – has under its fold about 700 
journals through which it publishes about 50,000 articles every year – 
all for free access by the young and aspiring scientific community as 
well as anyone else who is interested in getting to know about facets of
 our existence.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr. Gedela’s story isn’t your rags-to-riches type.
 In fact, his is neither rags nor riches although he did hail from a 
humble background  and made a success of his career through the strength
 of conviction that information about science must be made accessible 
for all to learn and create more. There was never an element of 
commercial interest in any of his endeavours, and OMICS hasn’t even 
remotely exhibited qualities of a business entity. All thanks to the 
visionary Dr. Gedela.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it traces the necessity is the mother 
of invention and oft-treaded path of many successful businesses, the 
journey it has traversed is one of a different kind. Making no attempts 
at all to bring in revenue or monetize: only yearning to propel open 
access as the mantra for many scientific endeavours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>The humble beginnings in a remote district of Andhra Pradesh</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Born
 to Mr. Appala Naidu and Mrs. Yashodha hailing from the village of 
Allena in Srikakulam District of Andhra Pradesh, Dr. Gedela completed 
his primary education – like most village-folk do – from the only school
 in his village. Then, being the bright student he was, time was ripe 
for him to pursue higher education. Accordingly, he stepped out of the 
cozy and serene environs of his village to enroll into the Andhra 
University for a B. Pharmacy. He wasn’t satisfied still with that degree
 so he followed it up with a Master’s in Technology degree in 
Biotechnology from the same university. His success at every stage of 
his educational life encouraged the young and aspiring to be a scientist
 to also explore his postdoctoral studies, which he managed to acquire 
from the Stanford University in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> The prelude to the spark</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like
 it happens with most students belonging to modest families in India, 
Dr. Gedela also faced many challenges through the course of his higher 
education. Of the many that he had to confront, the biggest one was the 
access or the lack of it to educational journals. He didn’t have a lot 
of money with which to pay for accessing scientific material to support 
his post-doctoral thesis (research paper).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The struggle was so 
immense that it left a bitter taste in his mouth forever. While he would
 weather the storm commendably by doing everything in his power, riding 
the extreme wealth of will-power he had, Dr. Gedela went on to complete 
his education. Along the way he would present his research work on the 
subject “Proteomics” at an international conference held in Seoul, South
 Korea, at the Human Proteome Organization.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His paper was well 
received and much appreciated. Importantly, his work got the ultimate 
approval from the scientific community at the conference when he was 
awarded with the “Young Scientist Award.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> The Spark</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While
 his work being recognized was an elevating experience for the young 
Indian, it was also humbling in a way because only he knew the pains and
 travails he had had to go through to work on the paper and get the 
desired output. He was also mindful of the fact that not many would come
 trumps like he did – in fact not may would even go as far as attempting
 such research work owing to the extreme lack of access to scientific 
material – largely owing to the monetary aspect of it. He felt perhaps 
it would have relatively easier and even better if he had had open 
access to all the stuff he wanted to sift through to be able to make his
 point as well as substantiate it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That is when it resolved that 
not long after he would start an initiative – a publication to be 
specific – that would publish scientific material and make it accessible
 for free. Thus began the quest for making OMICS a reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> OMICS International</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr.
 Gedela founded OMICS in 2007 with the sole objective of helping fellow 
scientists overcome their difficulties in accessing information and 
knowledge through and hence started it as an open access publication.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As
 for the name of the organization, word goes that OMICS was derived from
 the early interests of Dr. Gedela in the field of proteomics and 
diabetes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mission of OMICS under ‘Open Access’ was guarantee 
free and immediate access to information for any academic or research 
requirement of anybody, anywhere, across the globe. And Dr. Gedela has 
committed himself in ensuring that there are no digressions from this 
mission. It is sacrosanct.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Acclaim, expansion, and allied activity</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If
 access to material was an impediment to hundreds of ignited minds, Dr. 
Gedela was left wondering as to how many were struggling to get insights
 from academicians, experts, seniors, etc. by not having platforms for 
in-person interaction as well as exchange of ideas which is the very 
basis of much scientific activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, identifying this crucial 
need for multi-people, multi-level, and multi-type personal academic 
interactions, he then set about expanding the scope of activity of OMICS
 from being just a publishing house to also becoming an organizer of 
events, science fairs, symposia, exhibitions, conferences, summits, 
seminars, and workshops across the globe it would invite eminent 
personalities from both the scientific community as well as some 
business leaders well to communicate the powers of science through 
meaningful interaction and discussions where leading scientists from 
around the world deliberate their knowledge with young and aspiring 
scientists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This area received so much interest from like-minded 
people that today OMICS under the guidance and leadership of Dr. 
Srinubabu Gedela organizes about 1000 such conferences, conventions, and
 fairs, every year across the globe (across USA, Europe and Asia with 
the support from more than 1000 scientific societies) – no mean 
achievement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today OMICS and its associate companies are present 
in 5 countries with about 2000 employees working to not only sustain the
 organization’s mission but also to carry the founder’s vision through 
the 700 online open access journals encompassing fields such as Life 
Sciences,Clinical, Medical, Engineering &technology and Management 
under which somewhere about 50,000 scientific research articles are 
published annually.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>The full entrepreneur and philanthropy</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After
 making deadly sure that no aspiring science student finds himself in 
the predicament that Dr. Gedela had to face during his academic years by
 founding the world’s leading publishing house for free online science 
and knowledge journals through OMICS and its affiliates across five 
countries, Dr. Gedela has turned his attention also towards making his 
vision truly sustainable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The modus operandi being acting as a 
venture capitalist. As part of which, it is said, he will fund and 
support projects that have the capacity to generate self-employment 
among youth. He also turned as a film producer with his production house
 called OMICS Creations under which many family-oriented social 
entertainers such as ‘Chandee’ ‘Aata Arambham’ & ‘Veerudokkade’ are 
noteworthy – movies which mostly dwell on social, family, and women 
empowerment issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We now know why he is not akin to any regular 
entrepreneur as vindicated by his VC activity – not to make money for 
himself or the fund but for the benefit of other commoners like him who 
would not only benefit through self-employment but also through his 
publications which paved the way for a different kind of employment such
 as executives, coordinators, presenters, translators, editors, and 
freelancers for the scores of publications under the umbrella of OMICS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
 entrepreneurship of Dr. Gedela completes the full circle with his 
social development activities as he also promotes schools, 
healthcare,safe drinking water, and sanitation in villages of the 
country – an activity he has been involved in for the last seven years. 
In fact, he adopted 7 villages including his home Allenna with Burja, 
Kilentra, G B Puram and its nearby villages being the other in the much 
impoverished Srikakulam District of Andhra Pradesh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As part of the
 strengthening the education infrastructure of these under-attended 
villages, Dr. Gedela initiated the “OMICS Educational Society” which 
sets the curriculum, trains the human resources, provides technical 
assistance and works on capacity building through faculty development 
workshops to the teacher and taught in schools that are already 
functioning at various levels. The pedagogy in these schools is 
well-complemented by audio-visual teaching learning equipment.</div>

<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null"><strong> </strong></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This power-woman of the Indian industry is very much a 
chip of the old-block. That is to say that her zeal, drive, and 
determination match that of her father’s (Dr. B.V. Rao who is known as 
the ‘Father of the Indian Poultry Industry) - to not only retain the 
status of Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group (also called as Venky’s) as the
 premier companies in the country organized poultry sector but also to 
make life easier for the thousands of farmers who have aligned their 
lives with those of poultry industry’s players. That is why she is often
 referred to as the “Voice of the Indian Poultry Industry).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of 
course along the way she has added her own flavors to the style of 
leadership and functioning while retaining to a great extent her 
father’s stamp.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That she was introduced to the world of poultry 
when she was barely a teen during which period, it is said, she spent 
most of her time on the family’s farms rather than playing with children
 of her age or indulge in activities other children did. Instead she was
 engrossed with birds – doing things like feeding them and getting 
herself acquainted with the nitty-gritty of poultry hygiene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking
 at the promise that his young daughter exhibited, it was perhaps a 
master-stroke by Dr. Rao in entrusting the mantle of taking forward the 
business and to his daughter. For she excelled in not only living upto 
her father’s expectations, she even did what many may not have thought 
possible – presided over the functioning of well over a dozen company’s 
within the group as well as without it and made a success of a 
multi-activity businesses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Education and entry into the family business</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Desai
 has law graduate and that serves her cause well what with the country 
as indeed its poultry industry moved to the world stage, entailing a 
plethora of legalities for exporters triggered by the World Trade 
Organisation (WTO) regime. She did her Bachelor’s Degree in Law from the
 University of Pune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She was brought into the family business in 
1988 by her father who had immense faith and conviction in her 
capabilities and was also inducted into the board subsequently.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Loss and Legacy of a legend</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What
 Dr. B.V. Rao did to the Indian poultry industry is unparalleled in the 
history of the country’s business echelons. He was the architect of 
unifying the country poultry sector and more than that brought a set of 
standards and practices that provided a level-playing field for all the 
poultry players of the country. He had imbibed the same qualities in all
 of his children, especially his daughter, Anuradha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It wasn’t 
surprising then that the great visionary and of one the most successful 
entrepreneurs of the county (he had moved to the city of Pune from his 
native Andhra Pradesh to set up a small chick hatching business with a 
couple of friends, which eventually grew into the large conglomerate 
that we now know as Venky’s) considered Anuradha as the natural choice 
if it ever came to leadership of the group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That day did come in 
her life in 1996 when Dr. Rao passed away and the mantle of overseeing 
the already leading poultry business in the country into the 21st 
century and beyond.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> At the helm…</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anuradha 
Desai became the Chairman and Managing Director of the Venkateshwara 
Hatcheries Group in 1996 and right after assuming the responsibility, 
some of her initial tasks were to make sure the group recoups from the 
loss of the patriarch and founder – which she did with help from her 
brother Venkatesh Rao and Balaji Rao.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then she set about putting 
into place plans for growth of the company as well as expansion into 
various other affiliated and external business fields. Today the company
 is diversified into around 30 fields poultry, processed food, animal 
vaccines, pharma and healthcare products.including eggs, egg powder, 
poultry feed, animal feed, vaccines, biotech, R&D, even wine 
distribution and entertainment, and now even sports (with the 
acquisition of Blackburn Rovers Football Club, a reputed English 
football club in the top football division of the country). In fact, she
 even orchestrated the launch of ‘Venky's Express’, a ready to eat 
chicken outlet from the group whose first outlet was opened in Pune 
(Akon performed at the opening event).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the many things she 
did was to improve the company’s chicken (Venky’s Chicken) export 
business besides of course fighting for the rights of domestic farmers 
who were up against global competition when the country open up for 
global players to ply their trade across various industry segments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A
 campaigner and pillar of strength for the domestic chicken market, she 
uses everything in her power to help local farmers in their fight 
against so many problems such as disease outbreaks, foreign companies 
entering into the market and making a dent into their revenues, etc. 
just like her illustrious father did. So, one should not be puzzled if 
one came to know the fact that the group’s listed company (Venky’s) 
supplies chicken to groups like KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc. (of 
course, this besides the fact that Venky’s supplies 80% chicks to 
farmers and hatcheries in the country)!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Leadership roles elsewhere</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While
 she and her husband Jitendra Desai (an accomplished Chartered 
Accountant) and her brothers Venkatesh and Balaji are always yearning to
 maintain the stability and the momentum of the company, Desai herself 
is recognized by many for her visions and thought leadership and hence 
has been asked to lead many other companies in whatever capacity she 
can. And why not – figure this – under her leadership, VH has grown to 
become the largest fully-integrated poultry group in Asia, with its 
operations are spread across 20 countries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So it isn’t surprising 
that she helms the affairs of many companies by being their respective 
Boards of Directors. Some of those include Lavasa Corp. Ltd., ActionAid 
International USA, All India Broiler Farmers' Marketing Co. Op Ltd., All
 India Poultry Development & Services Pvt Ltd., Bharat Eggs 
Producers Association, Blue Ridge Avian Services, Inc., National 
Agriculture & Food Analysis & Research Institute, Padmavati 
Marbles Pvt Ltd., Poultry Development Promotion Council, Srivenk 
Biological Laboratories Pvt Ltd., Srivenk Investments & Finance Pvt 
Ltd., Venka Investments Pvt Ltd., Venky's Xprs UK Ltd., and Wayward 
Acres, Inc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Strategic Move…</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Around the 
year 2010 (almost a decade-and-half after she took over the reins of the
 group from her father), with a view to carry forward the expansion 
drive to overseas markets where although they have a decent enough 
presence, the company and Desai were looking at widening its consumer 
interface.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the ways was to expanding Venky’s XPRS fast food
 franchise (a kind of down-market KFC) but that didn’t give it the ideal
 mileage expected of a global player. Thus, Desai and her team, 
strategized a new plan to grow the business in three identified 
continents (Europe, Asia and Africa). It was to identify major sports 
properties and assets to attain brand visibility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thus after much 
deliberation and R&D, the group bought Blackburn Rovers Football 
Club, a reputed English football club from the English Premier League.It
 was a really strategic move by Desai and Co.:simply because Indians are
 the largest minority group in the Lancashire town of Blackburn, and if 
you are looking to connect with a community, then what better way than 
buying out the local football team?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it didn’t prove to be 
the success Desai had hoped it to be (from a sporting sense), what she 
did achieve by this acquisition was to accomplish what bigger Indian 
Conglomerate such as the likes of Reliance and Sahar could not do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>In the news…</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Expectedly,
 not everything she has done has been met with approval or success. And 
some of it courted controversy as well. For example, while the first 
season after acquiring (Blackburn Rovers) was OK- they avoided 
relegation, what the clubs supporters and fans didn’t like was the way 
managers were being hired and fired by the owners which lead the club 
being relegated to 2nd division (championship). This hasn’t gone down 
well with just about anyone that has got anything to do with the club 
(except the owners). Then there was the Avian flu issue – Desai had in 
the past (1990s) successfully campaigned and protected the interest of 
Indian farmers by opposing the import of chicken from other countries 
citing hygiene and risk associated with it (she said the outsiders were 
delivering unsold or rejected stock to the country). While that was good
 and strengthened her position with farmers as well as the 
establishment, there were accusations flying high about VH supplying 
infected birds to farmers in Navapur village of Mahrashtra's Nandurbar 
district.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, as always, she braved the tough times and 
brought VH out of the slime by coming clean on the issue. ("If we had 
supplied infected birds we would shy away any such idea. Besides, isn't 
it against our own interest to supply such stock to farmers?" – was what
 she had said). That’s the sign of a true leader.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<strong> </strong><br />
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suchi Mukherjee is a women entrepreneur who has been 
constantly proving with her achievements that it is completely not a 
gender based space where a few years ago only males dominated. She is 
the founder of Limeroad website, which lets you discover, share and shop
 women lifestyle products. She follows Navigating a business in a VUCA 
(volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) environment, to have
 a proper system.  She feels that the smallest of successes needs to be 
celebrated, and flat-out failing is just not an option. You need the 
fighter gene to succeed. Resilience plays a very crucial role to attain 
success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although, she always got the deserving role in the 
companies, she wasn’t really satisfied with her inner self and wanted to
 do something bigger and better. Her never ending ambitions and restless
 mind is one of the reasons for the success story of LimeRoad. Suchi’s 
success story might seem as if everything happened overnight without any
 struggle. The reality is completely different; she too had to face ups 
and downs throughout her professional life. At first being a part of 
newly formed companies to scale them up and making them global and 
starting a company of her own which has become highly successful is no 
easy job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Childhood and education</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suchi 
Mukherjee was born in the year 1973 and was 39 year old when she founded

Mukharjee worked with virgin media for almost 2 years and then she quit 
Virgin Media job and joined “eBay”! Here her career journey takes new

<strong> Lime road journey...</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
 she got the idea of creating his website post the birth of her second 
child one day when she was flipping through a fashion magazine and a 
piece of jewelry had caught her eye. Then she started her own company 
and founded LimeRoad, which is her own venture. She is also the CEO of 
LimeRoad website. It has received various rounds of funding and can 
sustain the business as it is now which is highly commendable as very 
few startups become successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The company founded by Suchi and 
her co-founders target the women audiences, who have a craze forshopping
 trendy clothes and accessories. The website offers a range of enticing 
accessories, bewitching apparel, and alluring jewelry. Suchi says that 
“At Limeroad, online shopping is not about deal hunting. It is more 
about having a great experience while shopping for "hatke" products. 
Users create scrapbooks in which they put together looks by mixing and 
matching different product combinations and sharing with others who can 
browse through them and discover interesting looks. "We have set up 
eight regional teams of photographers to showcase their inventory of 
sellers across the country. We offer sellers support such as 
photography, cataloguing and other services. We are at the same time 
also training our top sellers to meet orders on their own by dispatching
 them directly to the customers," she adds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She believed that 
LimeRoad is the India’s first social visual web platform with some of 
the highest engagement metrics on social platforms relative to all other
 web 1.0 ecommerce sites in India. Suhi realized that social interaction
 is the best way to discover great stuff and this is tightly woven into 
the LimeRoad experience and hence the stickiness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They’ve created 
the scrapbook tool which is a platform to get engage with the target 
audience and end up with crowd sourcing forum for creating the biggest 
online discovery platform.</div>

 <img alt="Bharat Desai " height="181" src="https://www.wisdomimg.com/india/s/socphotos/Bharat-Desai.jpg" width="171" /> </div>
<a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null"><strong> </strong></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Education& early life</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Born in 
Kenya to a migrant Indian family, Desai spent most of his childhood in 
Mombasa before moving on to Ahmedabad (in the western state of Gujarat, 
India) to pursue schooling. He did his Bachelor of Technology course in 
Electrical Engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of 
Technology (IIT, Mumbai). Like most first generation entrepreneurs we 
have seen, Desai too felt the need to equip himself with management 
education and exposure the business world from a global perspective. To 
be able to do that, he completed an MBA (Finance) course from the 
Stephen M Ross School of Business, University of Michigan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>The TCS stint</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Desai
 joined TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) India’s foremost and number one 
IT firm for a monthly salary of Rs. 769 (about $12-13 in present day). 
Although he worked three for only a brief period, he picked up the 
nuances of running a business and especially a model that he would later
 employ to great effect after founding Syntel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>The enterprising duo / couple</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After
 the short stint at TCS, Desi came to America on an assignment for TCS 
and met his future wife, Neerja Sethi there (has a master’s in computer 
science from the OaklandUniversity). They hit it off well while working 
for the Indian technology premier and soon it turned into wedlock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One
 would expect a newly-wed couple to fully utilize whatever time 
available towards marital bliss. But not the Desai-Sethi couple. What 
they did instead, being the technocrats they were and being nurtured at 
TCS, they founded an IT company by the name Syntel, Inc. with an initial
 investment of a mere $2000 Since it wouldn’t suffice to pay for the 
bills of even one employee much less pay for office rent and expenses, 
the couple started operating out of their home in Troy (Michigan).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong> Early struggle, hardships, and naysayers</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
 first year operations brought them a sale of just $30,000 – which was 
almost next-to-nothing if one considered the operating expenses they’d 
have to meet. In fact, many prospects as well as people they met along 
their path towards entrepreneurship did everything to discourage them 
from opting this apparently disastrous path. Some shooed them away 
asking them never to come back again even in the premises of the 
companies, while others dissuaded by just saying stop kidding and stick 
what you are – an ordinary programmer – as they thought it might 
difficult to do something that Desai envisaged in America, amongst 
Americans companies some of which were already established with a long 
list of clients.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But being made of sterner stuff and having seen 
the success of the business model at TCS in-person, Desai as well Sethi 
were convinced and, hence, all the more determined to make it a success.
 The initial resistance and not-so-cool welcome to their business was a 
dampener for sure. It hurt them. Pushed them to the wall. And put them 
down along with their aspirations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All this was transient. As, 
regardless of what, the gritty couple continued pushing forth their 
business. Their persistence, perseverance, and hard-work coupled with a 
bit of luck, they turned so many leaves over, proved the naysayers 
wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their relentless quest for delivering quality while staying
 small and nimble which sort of went well with clients wanting 
flexibility as well as performance. Venture funding was not as 
aggressive back then as it is nowadays and companies had to really slog 
it out and deliver before they had a buy in investors. Unlike now where 
you show a glimpse of what is possible as well as the promise of 
multi-fold returns draws many Venture Capitalists flocking to your doors
 (of course, one must have the clear differentiator of an idea).How 
difficult it was start-ups back-then (only they were not called as 
start-ups, though) is evident from the fact that even after 10 years 
into operations, Desai’s Syntel wasn’t able to get a line of credit from
 banks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so it was that Desai and Syntel had to do everything 
in their capacity to not only bring in clients but also to succeed and 
sustain. Any other mortal would have probably crumbled at this prospect –
 no ground support (especially when pitted against local companies that 
already had a head-start), no capital to support even the basic 
day-to-day operations much less brining in top talent and thinking of 
expansion and diversification, and on top of everything, there weren’t 
many who knew you even existed – such was the scenarioback in the early 
days of the information technology revolution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Desai’s leadership 
and vision coupled with a few smart moves and his unflinching belief in 
the promise of information technology (in his own words, "I did know 
that the industry (information technology and outsourcing) was going to 
grow significantly and with the right moves, we could outpace the 
overall industry growth and we have been fortunate.")and the continuous 
supportive role played by his family throughout, ensured that he and 
Syntel succeeded to become a public listed company by 1997.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 
mantra that Desai applied was find an underserved market segment and 
become really good at it, if you are not already one, commit towards 
serving it well and work very hard. In the process, making sure that 
customers really think highly of your vis-à-vis your niche service / 
offerings, was a must.  They identified the niche to be health-care and 
life-sciences to be those areas and relentlessly focused on them. Of 
course, there were other verticals also in which Syntel worked such as 
That besides Desai also made sure that Syntel had one more USP - build 
collaborative partnerships and deliver innovative solutions that spanned
 beyond business benefits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Along the way, the company had to 
endure, like most in the industry, the 2008 economic crisis. Desai and 
co.weathered the storm and how.It is a fact that owing to the down-turn 
almost all businesses (including obviously Syntel’s clients) were on a 
cost-cutting and austerity drive. While this would have meant peril for 
most companies, what allowed Syntel to not only stay afloat but also do 
reasonably well was its pro-activeness in helping clients to manage 
costs through a combination of efforts such as employing incremental 
outsourcing andleveraging additional offshore capabilities that lead to 
increased productivity and rate reductions. And what it meant for 
Syntel? While many of the initiatives reduced client costs, they also 
provided enhanced margins to Syntel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That’s is but just one of the
 many evidences of Desai shrewd business sense as well as visionary 
self. One of his other visionary endeavours was to set-up offshore units
 in India to make use of considerably lower wagers prevailing in the 
country. In that sense, Syntel proved to be one of the pioneers of the 
Indian IT and ITES outsourcing industry along with the erstwhile Patni 
Computers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The company at the time of the melt-down had a 
market-cap of $2.7 billion – no mean feat for an upstart that began with
 nothing and operating with a shoe-string budget for a good decade after
 its inception. Under Desai’s leadership, today the company has about 
23,000 employees, revenues of about a billion USD, and net income of 
around $60 million providing integrated technology and business services
 and has won more than a dozen awards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
