He thenworked as a financial con-sultant in a city-based firmfor another two years. Butnot for a moment had he lostthat zeal for becoming amanufacturer and a busi-nessman and at the end of2006, he decided to start hisown oil refinery by obtain-ing finance from State Bankof India. Thus was born theedible oil refinery Shree Ga-janan Oil and Agro productsIndustry Pvt. Ltd in 2007.

Theneed of a new system (solution) either by improving the ex-isting one or launching a brand new system (solution), willalways require a business analyst.High growth: There will be growth as the need for solutionswill increase.Flexibility: It provides flexibility in career options ie● Multiple Entry Point: One can enter into a Business

Analysis Career from Management or Engineering, or op-erations or process speciali-sation or a product speciali-sation or Domain speciali-sation (example: media,healthcare, pharmaceuti-cal, finance, insurance…)

Today, if we look at the edu-cation sector, we have a lotof youngsters passing outof colleges as graduates

and post-graduates. But a matter ofconcern is the employability of thesestudents. Students get awarded withtheir degrees but they are not readyfor employment. These studentshave memorised what is taught incolleges, but they are far from get-ting ready for the workplace. Un-fortunately, being a graduate and be-ing a youngster ready to performare two completely different things.

With the specific purpose of mak-ing the youth corporate ready, Mr.Sachin Adhikari, a respected andwell-known expert in the field ofleadership development, has set up

an NGO, Success Foundation (SF)for youth empowerment. Mr. SachinAdhikari is a talented, dynamic andinnovative leader who has success-fully developed and implementedtraining initiatives that have em-powered tens of thousands of peo-ple around the world to achieve theirpotential as entrepreneurs, businessleaders and successful independentbusiness owners. He is recognisedin international leadership circlesas a creator of value-based trainingand leadership programs.

When a fresh graduate or post-graduate enters the corporate world,it is expected that he/ she becomesan effective performer in the short-est time with little orientation. Or-ganisations allowing time for fresh-ers to get corporate ready by giving

say, six months training are thingsof the past. Today is the age of "first-day-first-hour" productivity. A tech-nical or academic degree is defi-nitely the first and the basic gate-pass to enter the corporate worldbut all the corporate czars admit thata right balanced attitude is whatthey are seeking in the freshers.

THE TRAINING OUTLOOK While the attitudinal, people skills

training is missing at graduate lev-el programs, we do not have suchprograms which build graduatesoutside the graduate program too.

We do see Central GovernmentEducation control bodies acceptingthe need for building behaviouralskill sets. We also see that Univer-sities and Colleges have started

behavioural training. But when wespoke to a student who graduatedand is now working with a corpo-rate, he said, "Actually the facultyneeds training in the trainers' pro-gram, so they can then impart therequired training to students.Adding a subject or curriculum doesnot fulfill the need." "The studentsare unaware of what corporates ex-pect and so is the faculty." Why donot corporates like you who are intraining train students? Don't yousee the need?"

WHERE IS THE GAP?Training imparted is mostly to

develop superficial skills just to helpin appearing for an interview andgetting a job. Such training does nottreat the cause. Thus, the benefit isshort-lived, because once the job be-gins, the weaknesses get exposed. Intimes of cutting-edge competition,there is no time for a gestation pe-riod to be a performer.

So the daunting question is howto bridge this gap?

As the person at thehelm of its affairs,

Ashok Samtaney has pro-vided the vision to hisCompany - Ace GroupWorldwide “to become astrategic institution by im-parting training, servicesand solutions to the indus-tries by mentoring in Con-tinual ImprovementMethodologies, using glob-ally proven strategies tohelp, understand and con-trol ‘identification andelimination’ of all types ofwaste and variation acrossall business segments.Thus helping to improve‘Quality and Productivity’.

Ashok Samtaney has amission for Ace GroupWorldwide - "To be a globalleader in training andmanagement system con-sultancy, focused on in-creasing the value our cus-tomers earn from their in-vestments in managementsystems."

Ashok Samtaney hastruly taken Quality Sys-tems all over the world.Numerous companies theworld over - across 20

countries - have benefittedunder the guidance ofAshok Samtaney. Even ad-vanced countries such asEurope - Switzerland,Poland, France; Egypt,Turkey and many othershave been serviced byAshok Samtaney and havegreatly appreciated as theyhave benefited with sup-port from Ashok Samtaney.

With special focus to theHealth Care Sector: Med-ical Devices for CE Mark-ing, Pharmaceutical Cos,API, Cosmetic and Nutri-tional Product Manufac-turers for its USFDA regu-lations, WHO-GMP, andvarious standards of dif-ferent countries, AshokSamtaney has shown glob-ally the simplicity andmultiple benefits industrycan obtain through imple-mentation of standardsand certifications. Adop-tion of Quality Systems isan attitude, says AshokSamtaney, and not a merematter of implementationof published standards. Agood machine and a badoperator cannot guaranteeyou good output but a badmachine and a good opera-tor can still promise yougood output. Thus it is notthe machine, but the manbehind the machine thatguarantees everything.Similarly, it is just not acertificate but the attitudeof the organisation mem-bers that helps promiseeverything. This is whereAshok Samtaney helps theorganisation to build theright attitude towards sys-tems and certificationthereby increasing the val-ue the organisation canearn from their invest-ments in management sys-tems. Ashok Samtaneyteaches: Let the systemwork for the organisationand not the organisation tostruggle and work for thesystem!

Technology is fast be-coming an essential

tool to help small busi-nesses in every industry togrow to the next level orsimply remain competitivein an increasingly chal-lenging business environ-ment, according to theSmarter Small Businesses,a Centre for an Urban Fu-ture report that was con-ducted earlier this year.

The New York basedstudy examined the grow-ing numbers of small busi-nesses—especially new en-terprises and those run byyounger entrepreneurs—and found that many wereyet to adopt technology ina meaningful way. Thefindings could just as wellbe applicable to India.

“Technology could helplevel the playing field formany of the city’s smallbusinesses. By adoptingbasic technologies that aretaken for granted by largec o r p o r a t i o n s — f r o mGoogle ads and customermanagement software todigital payroll programsand point-of-sale sys-tems—small businessescould expand their cus-tomer base, reduce theircosts and become more ef-ficient. Technology canspringboard some smallfirms to the next level andhelp others simply im-prove their profit marginsenough to survive,” the re-port says.

“What we learned is thattechnology is no longer anoption, but an essentialtool for businesses to re-main competitive. This isnot just the case for largecorporations and high-techstart-ups, but for nearly allsmall businesses—fromthe corner bodega facingmore competition fromchain grocery and con-venience stores and phar-macies to the neighbor-hood restaurant that needsto attract diners from out-side the immediate neigh-borhood to survive,” thereport adds.

One of the easiest stepsa business can take to in-corporate technology is toestablish a website, but inmany neighborhoods wellunder half of the localbusinesses have taken theplunge, the report found.
