Q.1 How do
you feel to be the part of Aurora 2k18?
Ans. I have
been here for a long time. I did some portion of study here. It is good to be
come back. I was pre-nostalgic when I walked inside the gate. Lot of things
were same while I saw development in terms of infrastructure. I am really
excited to be here.
Q.2 What
are the changes that you observed in the college when you studied here and when
we are studying here?
Ans. One
thing that is very captivating about the institute is that it has a very large
campus. As I walked in I saw a lot of buildings that have come up, that is why
I was asking for the strength of the institute. All in all it is good and
essential to have large campus and buildings as a new branch has also been
introduced and many people from outside the city may also stay here. I personally in love with the greenery that
used to be.
Q.3
Starting from the Swastik road lines to COLDEX what difficulties and experiences have you faced ?
Ans. It has
been a great journey. I am a Scindia school pass out and it has been a good exposure in
terms of my life. The product itself is the driver for what we do so we don’t
position ourselves as the GDP drivers, we are enablers to everything that would
transact as according to the things that are in the country, a lot of
inefficiency lies in the side of supply chain. Backends of all companies
have remained inefficient through a period of time. So we don’t go only for new
businesses to come in but also for making the back-ends efficient. We are
replacing from incumbents in to something that is more solution driven. We
create solutions that would enable the back-ends to be efficient. We go to the
clients and take over their back-ends. This is also beneficial for our
customers. And in this way we are able to drive the matter efficiently.
Q.4 Sir,
you have very interesting point of view about your past, present and the
future, would you like to share something with us?
Ans. Yeah,
that is the maturity of the thoughts that comes when you are assign or align to
the consumers who are there. Many ideas that evolve around. So we have customer
centric approach. So whatever we built out was built to suit, built out
solutions, we never built out infrastructure or assets. First time in 1996, we
built out a very special equipment. That’s how we have been progressive in
terms of our thought process that if you really want your customer to stick
with you trust you then you have to think from his side. And thus those are the
insights that come by interacting with them. So the journey of past, present
and future was somewhere in between all those things.
Q.5 Sir you have a concept of 10
years ,5 years i.e. the three stages of company. Please elaborate a bit .
Ans. So I think first year is a grind
to be evolving and trying to innovate . There are legs which are called the
trucks the moving parts of the body then there’s belly where the goods are
stored and then there is intelligence. Though in very first year we went
national across 65 cities close to 1000 refer trucks. Then came the stage when
we were on the middle part of body and trying to evolve into a solution centric
term, so this where we stand today. We today outsource to every major firm from
Mc Donald’s to Burger King. Anybody who comes to the market we are the back-end
to them. Today we are trying B to C type that is trying to reach out to
customer directly.
Q.6 What advice would you like to
give to the young evolving start ups?
Ans. Idea is the opportunity waiting
to happen, it could very drastic or very basic. What we were doing was drastic
so observed that and corrected it. While I was hearing in pinnacle it was both
technology and basic idea. In such a diverse country there is an opportunity
everywhere we just need to sense it and believe in it.
