It’s ourTenth anniversary. It’s a quiet celebration this time though, because of the covid-19 circumstances all around. It has been an eventful 10 years. It’s always nice to celebrate milestones and also set some targets for the next few years as well. I have mixed thoughts when I start looking back and reflect on the day when I actually started operations back in May 2010.
We set out to become a trusted partner for the clients that we work with. And today, as we work with several clients and a lot of these clients, we have been working for several years together. I think we have achieved much of that objective that we had actually set ourselves for. We have kept on improving over the last few years. And it’s thanks to a wonderful team that has really challenged the status quo. They have kept on delivering and innovating and trying to find new ways to deliver results for our clients
I am writing this in phase three of the national lockdown in India. And we have still about ten to twelve days before actually, the lockdown comes out.

Broadly, I feel any small organization or any SME has to focus on four major pillars,

Marketing has to be a lot of storytelling. When I say this, you’ll give it a little bit of a laugh and say, OK, so I’m actually in a very serious business. Then how do you talk about storytelling? They don’t relate to my business.
I personally feel every business, at whatever stage of business they are, they need to continue talking about different things or different stories. When you’re actually with your existing customers, they obviously know what you’re capable of doing and how you’re helping them and how you’re actually solving problems for them. But you want to grow and open up new customers in new segments, in new geographies. If you want to do that, you have to communicate to these new customers. And tell them stories about how you can actually add value for them. Without you doing that, they are never going to be able to understand what you are capable of doing.
