Reminiscing about the fantastic times. Massive nostalgia from this season.

One of the highlights was having a fun conversation with @davidwarner31.

It's indeed a fantastic learning that a season of IPL stretches an athlete from Calmness to Hyper Activity in no time.

A two month season is strenuous and tense, but it's seeing Senior Athletes like him who as a Captain Steer the team and ensure they let their gaurd loose and have a good time in spite of rough or good patches.

True Tenets of a Sportsman and Most importantly, that of Gentlemen's Sport - Cricket.

How does it feel to cater for over 60k pax over a span of a month with deadlines of less than 36 hours?

Ecstatic and humbling.

Glad to share that Knight Gourmet got the fantastic opportunity of Catering to some of the marquee franchises in this edition of the Indian Premier League India,

Each scope was absolutely different, with each stakeholder demanding nothing but the best in the largest spectacle the country is proud of.

A couple of learnings this season -
1. Appreciate and express Gratitude to be back on the "Live" field of play areas after a span of 3 years.

2. You are as good as the partners and team you work with. Believe, Acknowledge, Find Gaps and Plug them.

3. Work in silence without commanding attention/respect by chiding competition - the best vindication is getting continued work.

4. You can never win a price or an Ego War. Stay Humble and Stick to your "Kaam"

Gratitude for the opportunity, more so to see how a Global Intellectual Property is built and scaled right from the heart of this beautiful country.

I stop stumbling now.

Speech can convince, convert, and be compelling.

Ralph Waldo Emerson's adage supports the significance of practical speaking abilities.

A skilled speaker can effortlessly handle and influence the audience.

What methods have I used to overcome my fear of public speaking?

📌 Know who they are

You need to understand your audience to be an effective speaker. You should be aware of the interests of your intended audience.

📌 Fostering interaction

A good orator uses their personal story to connect with the audience.

📌 Practice

The secret is in practice. Practice is the key. Please bear this in mind.

Put your eyes together.

Sales is a Waste of Time! The process of sucking

Sales is a Waste of Time!

The process of sucking up and trying to get your work done is not for me!

Really?

Sales is the toughest yet the most quintessential job for you, as a Founder.

Especially, if you are in any B2B Business.

Period.

If you don't value it, the numbers will never come to you.

But the important aspect to consider is a concept called

"The Law of Averages"

What does it mean?

The law of averages in sales is understood as saying that the more attempts you make to sell, the higher is the probability for the sale to happen.

For example, you need to reach out to 10 prospects to close one deal.

Hence, you can assume basis the principle, that by reaching out to 100 prospects will lead to 10 conversions.

Law of averages helped us at Knight Gourmet navigate through the most challenging times of our business during the pandemic.

Our volumes during the said time reduced by 95%, but keeping this law in mind, we kept reaching out to over 25 to 30 prospects a day, with the faith that when the market bounces back, we will be the first ones they think of.

And guess what? It worked!

Besides the sales, it has 3 advantages

👉 Keeps you and the team abreast about what the market wants, changing trends. In our case, it was #Virtualculinaryexperiences

👉 You can become a preferred partner of choice in case an impulse purchase opportunity comes up

👉 Your team is engaged during Lean Season

So, my fellow entrepreneurs, keep hustling and keep selling! Don't settle for average.

Instead, use the law of averages to your advantage.

Remember, sales are the lifeline of any business, and if you keep at it, success will follow.

Stay focused, stay driven, and keep pushing through! 💯

I was in a conversation with my friend about times

I was in a conversation with my friend about times in my life that were extremely challenging but ultimately led to where we have collectively reached..

As we all are clinged towards hustling culture as was he and asked me about the three mantras that we implemented.

Sharing with you.

✅Start acting in any way as this is the first step out of an abyss. You can't predict where life will lead you, but if you don't try, you'll never know what will be effective for you.

✅To find fulfillment, value, and appreciation in your work, take calculated risks. And that everything great begins as a "Side Hustle" before growing into a Serious Business. Yes, go ahead and try it.

✅Life is what occurs to you while you are preoccupied with making other plans. Numerous factors are beyond our control, but rather than resources, it is our resourcefulness that keeps us afloat in unusual circumstances.

I am sure that you can relate to these lessons at every stage of your life. Pen down your insights on the same adding to the list.

Where is the Tech in Food Tech Nowadays? Had a f

Where is the Tech in Food Tech Nowadays?

Had a fantastic panel last week with some of the finest minds in the industry at the @food.connoisseurs.india at Bombay Exhibition Centre (@nescoevents ), Mumbai organised by Industry Live - discussing how are we leveraging technology in our respective business across the broad spectrum of hospitality - Catering, Cloud Kitchens, QSR and Boutique Hotels.

Quick Takeaways, I would like to share -

- AI is at the centre of Kitchen Operations. Multiple integrations of AI/ML are being used to automate repeatable processes and bring about predictable recipes with finesse

- Technology is about solving a pain point, not just using jargon for the sake of it. Interesting, how a colleague mentioned that in his restaurant space - instead of calling out a butler by shouting out to him, he switched to a ring bell to make his operation more efficient.

Likewise, how another colleague is customising individual customer experiences and solving the massive problem of Micro-catering at scale with adding a sophistication layer for the customer.

- Lastly, happened to share my preference for WhatsApp conversational bots at Restaurants/Cafe/Cloud kitchens than being barraged by tens of service boys to place the order. WhatsApp conversational bots really make the association with the customer VERY personal yet customised - not being very intrusive.

Data is the intellectual property in all businesses and makes that association relationship driven/conversational vis-a-vis transactional in nature.

Look forward to multiple collaborations and powerful conversations.

Process drives the roadblocks away… Having an i

Process drives the roadblocks away…

Having an idea is the initial step of becoming successful…

But the real honey mints inside a sequential process..

A process whether fix or variable, if followed promptly will definitely lead you towards the success that you desire…

A Business process is like a cricket match strategy…

Building a process begins when the match starts from pitch observation and continues until the last ball of any match…

A process where, you are identifying the SWOT analysis that you will come across while achieving the desired goal after following the sequential process…

Any business whether small or big, or any industry will definitely lead you towards success if you are following the right set of processes with the ultimate precision.

If monetary benefits is the end goal then Sequential process building should be the base..

Would love to know how focussed you are towards building your business process…

Winding up three days of Fun Conversations, Exploring newer Synergies and Associations at the India Expo Shop 2022 organized by IESA.

Cumulatively, met the oldest and most respected Events and Exhibition Industry Players where the conversation was all around scale.

Always good to learn and unlearn the fundamentals with which we have built Knight Gourmet.

Look forward to much awaiting Event season 2022.

Extensive travel in last 2 Weeks comes to an end and good to be back on Social Media and hearing the good stuff what is happening in the ecosystem.

One of the most interesting aspects of these times is that experiences are becoming more immersive yet the volumes are increasing at a fantastic pace.

Someone told me about #Revengetravel, what about #RevengeEvents ? - Live Events are happening at scale!

Glad to do out part across the network.

"What would you prefer ₹75 Lacs PA in active income or ₹25 L pa in passive income?"

Evaluate.

You need min. ₹ 2.5 CR in Income Generating Assets to generate an income of ₹ 25 lacs.

If you can distinguish between Wealth and Income, you have already built a strong foundation mentally of achieving Financial Independence.

The irony is the income we make is driven by our current circumstances, market and to an extent our on going luck.

But "Wealth" if held well is not only a shed from rainy season but also a starting point of building your financial legacy.

The game of status is often played by your existing income mostly to give an ego massage and get instant gratification,

but the game of Wealth is played by building a set foundation and growing it brick by brick.

Reinforce the belief that "being rich" is much more important "looking rich".

We all pick our battles.

Please pick wisely and think long term.

P.C - Kudos to Naval Ravikant for sharing these gems in his book.

Had a Fantastic session this week with the energetic community of @askaviarya discussing about #Microniche, #entrepreneurship and life in general.

Just LOVED the energy of the group where everyone was hungry to learn and imbibe fundamentals which help them differentiate from the crowd.

It's fascinating how the rule of Microniche and ABCD Rule for finding one's niche is applicable to businesses like healthcare, fitness, Textiles etc. Thanks to the team @Internetmoghuls for having me.
