usiness leaders are confident, tenacious,
and witty in their business. He or she can
start a new business and invest all their
energy into establishing it. What's more, one of
its great features is its talent for inspiring people.
Business leaders are excellent communicators.
They know exactly how to implement their
business policies and are actively and
permanently striving for success. They know how
to set goals and strive to achieve them as soon
as possible. This dynamic approach to achieving
your goals allows you to develop and accelerate
your business faster.
However, your approach can also have negative
consequences. Business leaders strive for
immediate success, so his approach does
not always lead to sustainable business when
economic conditions are deteriorating. In such
situations, they will sometimes go out of business
and start something new that they consider more
promising at the moment. Business managers
are the most prosperous in
fast-paced environments.
During the startup period of a business, the CEO
or founder can develop their own model. At this
7. point, they can temporarily assume the roles
of manager and analyst in addition to their
key role in the development of the business.
Business leaders can run into problems if
they do not anticipate a failure. The tendency
to take dangerous actions is also potentially
harmful. Business leaders can be in a difficult
situation if they don't weigh all their strengths
and weaknesses when making decisions.
Sometimes they can't stop, but they try
solutions that rely heavily on
fleeting moments.
The achievement of an organization regularly
rests in the possession of its chiefs. Business
pioneers are answerable for laying out
objectives, persuading colleagues, and
encapsulating the soul and culture of the
organization that they work for. Turning into a
successful business pioneer implies having an
assorted set of abilities and characteristics.

12. Tell us about your career before joining
The Shipping Tribune as a CEO.
My career in Merchant Navy started in January 1989 as
Trainee Nautical Officer. Till 2007 I sailed on merchant
ships in various capacities, out of which I sailed as
Master (Captain) for 6 years. In 2007, I began my career
ashore as I joined Essar Shipping as the Deputy General
Manager. In 2010, I joined International Bunkering
Middle East as the General Manager, and within eight
months, I was promoted and made the Country Head-
India Division.
We would like to know about The Shipping
Tribune’s inception.
For a long time, since I was a Third Officer, it was my
dream to one day start a Maritime Media company that
would provide a much-needed bridge between all the
crucial players in the maritime world. The Shipping
Tribune was launched in 2012 with a vision of creating a
global networking platform for the Maritime fraternity
and providing news and information specifically catered
for them.
In 2014, we also began holding Maritime Summits tri-
annually to cater to different sections of the Shipping
Industry. Our aim with this was to enable important
discussions within the industry, with inputs from
industry leaders across the globe. We have successfully
accomplished this for the past eight years.
How does The Shipping Tribune stand out
in the shipping industry?
Apart from providing essential news and information,
The Shipping Tribune conducts ‘World This Week’
and ‘In Conversation’ where we interview prominent
industry stakeholders to bring on noteworthy ideas,
discussions, and opinions. It is published on our website
and The Shipping Tribune YouTube channel. ‘Maritime
Employment News’ is another video segment we
produce where we regularly list the latest important job
vacancies in the maritime industry, in a video format.
We are the first and only news portal in this sector to
publish a series like Maritime Employment News.
Our Maritime Summits also facilitate industry leaders
to network extensively and share new business ideas
and opportunities.

13. Shipping & Maritime industry suffered
a lot during the initial days of covid19
pandemic. What strategies did you apply
to stay afloat?
Our Maritime Summits were originally held in
person. However, they are now held online due to
the pandemic. We increased our interactions with
industry stakeholders on all our online platforms. At
The Shipping Tribune, we prioritize the safety of our
participants and staff above all else and will continue in
an online format until it is deemed safe to conduct in-
person summits again.
‘Maritime Employment News’ was conceptualized and
launched during the pandemic to provide an important
link between employers and industry professionals
looking for the most suitable vacancies.
Tellusaboutthecompany’scurrentmarket
presence and how are you planning to
expand your network?
We have a strong market presence with an extensive
reach in India and in all the major maritime hubs of
the world. Our news portal is visited by maritime
professionals from more than 100 countries. As far as
our Maritime conferences are concerned, they are being
attended by business leaders from Far East Asia, the
Middle East, India and Europe.
What kind of shift have you noticed in the
Indian shipping industry?
I have observed a big change in the industry in the last
five to six years. There is a lot more support as far as
the government is concerned. Particularly in the port
sector, connectivity, roads and infrastructure leading to
the ports and within the ports as well. Port efficiency
has increased. There are also more entrepreneurs and
MSMEs coming up in the shipping industry as well as
more people involved in supplying the right talent and
manpower to the world.

LEXPLOSION SOLUTIONS

T
he Lexplosion solution is headquartered in
Kolkata, Lexplosion was founded by a team
of four ex-GE lawyers to help the corporate
legal and compliance fraternity reduce their effort
and cost. Since its inception in December 2007,
Lexplosion has focused on creating new markets
by identifying the needs of corporate consultants
and compliance officers and redefining solutions.
They have helped many Indian organizations
reduce the overall cost of legal and
compliance operations by making
their processes more efficient and
benchmarking them to global
best practices. Many of their
pioneering initiatives stem from their endeavor to
bridge the gap between the long-term needs of the
customer and the solutions existing in the market.
The confidence shown by their existing customers
in Lexplosion has helped them expand their
existing scale of operations. Their premier
distribution center is located in a state-of-the-art
facility in the IT and ITeS hub of Kolkata with
best-in-class infrastructure. Explosion’s rapidly
growing team comprises lawyers from the best
law schools in India and abroad and is backed by a
Process Innovation Group consisting of resources

Lexplosion believes that enterprises around the
worldlargelywanttostayontherightsideofthelaw.
Yet, due to the complexities, most of them struggle
to understand the law and its impact on their
business. Interpreting law has historically been the
exclusive domain of a small and limited group of
trained professionals, namely lawyers. As a result,
obtaining proper and accurate legal advice has
always been costly and time-consuming, making
it the prerogative of a small group of successful
corporations. The rest are mostly catching up with
the law. Since laws in civilized nations are generally
just and equitable, Lexplosion believes that obeying
them helps society and the people working in the
professions at large; the environment in which they
operate; and the economies in which they operate.
The vision of Lexplosion is to make law inclusive
i.e. to provide quality legal aid to businesses at all
stages of corporate growth, irrespective of the scale
and size of operations, at any cost. In short, it is
Explosion’s vision to simplify and make it easier for
businesses around the world to comply with laws.
Conclusion
They believe that to fulfill their vision, they need to
harness limited corporate legal skills in a way that
reaches every segment of the business community.
Hence, they have been marrying the law and
innovating legally with scalable technology since
its inception, which is their tagline. The result
is India’s first fully standardized regulatory
compliance database hosted on Komrisk, a leading
cloud-based compliance management solution.
To take their vision to the next logical level, they
have now endeavored to codify the complex legal
analysis that identifies laws and compliances
using the highly developed algorithm that comes
with Komplify.

20. Maritime transportation is an important mode of
transportation for the country’s economic development.
It has an impact on the growth rate of the country. It is
the most cost-effective way to transport large amounts
of goods. It creates jobs in ship-building, ship breaking,
ship repair, marine training, and other associated
industries. It has a substantial impact on trade growth
and employment creation.
Highlights
☐
The article gives an overall idea about maritime
transport in India. It also focuses on the development of
maritime transport, future scenario and its importance
in India.
☐ The maritime logistics business has a bright future
due to technological progress and the government’s
numerous projects already in place.
Development after liberalization in India
After liberalization, the scenario for maritime
transportation changed. It became competitive, whether
it was for cargo or resource mobilization. International
ships docking at Indian ports did not require a license
due to policy developments such as the moderation of
the cabotage law and the cargo reservation policy. The
government changed the Merchant Shipping Act and
simplified the funding process, allowing the marine
industry to acquire ships at lower costs to make the
domestic industry more competitive. Both commercial

transport to India

and public maritime businesses were given authorization
by the government to repair their ships in any shipyard
without seeking consent.
Current scenario
Mr. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister, renamed the
Ministry of Shipping to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping,
and Waterways in November 2020. India has 12 large
ports and 205 minor and intermediate ports. Six new
mega ports will be built in Sagarmala as part of the
National Perspective Plan for the country. The ports and
shipping industry in India is critical to the country’s trade
and commerce growth. It has opened up the automated
route to 100 percent FDI for port and harbor building
and maintenance projects. It has also made it easier
for businesses that create, maintain, and operate ports,
inland waterways, and inland ports to take advantage of
a 10-year tax break.
Importance of maritime transport to India
Indiaistheworld’ssixteenth-largestmarinecountry.With
a coastline of 7,517 kilometers, India is advantageously
placed on the world’s shipping routes. According to the
Ministry of Shipping, maritime transport handles over
70% of India’s trade. It accounts for around 95 percent
of India’s commercial volume and 70 percent of its
trading value.
Initiatives by the Indian Government
The initiatives to better the functioning of the supply
chain by the Indian government are as follows:
Sagarmala Programme: It aims to reduce the logistics
cost for EXIM (Export-Import) and domestic trade with
minimal infrastructure investment.
☐ Ghogha-HaziraROPAXFerry:Itaimsforeco-friendly
transport, reduces the travel time and distance.
☐ Port development: Its goal is to boost coastal shipping.
☐
Merchant Shipping Bill : It aims to support the
shipping industry in India.
☐
GST reduction: It also aims to boost maritime
industries in India.
☐ Inland water transport: It aims to improve the existing
waterways to promote Inland Water Transport (IWT).
Future of Maritime transportation
☐ By, 2030 government aims to make 23 waterways as it
is environmentally friendly and gives cost benefits.
☐ ‘Make in India’ initiatives will create opportunities in
the ship repair industry. The ship-building policy will
support the shipyards to acquire more foreign orders.
☐ The rise of India’s maritime logistics business will fuel
by factors such as secure shipping, more seaborne
trade, and the use of cleaner fuels.
Conclusion
Maritime trade in India will boost the living standard
once the policies framed are implemented accordingly &
responsibly. Not just the government, it is the citizens of
India that must contribute to this Trillion Dollar industry.
Water highways & internal river connections for trading
are on the priority list.
Not just for trade, security of the borders is one of the
major challenges in this scenario which can make
the situation better or worse. Keeping an eye on such
changing environment in this industry could make
sizeable changes to our daily lives.

In their urban cities, the apartment communities
are those villages. A piece of land on which tens or
hundreds of families live harmoniously. The apartment
communityisalsoaregisteredorganization–collecting
general funds to pay vendors, pay taxes, and handle
internal and external disputes for maintenance or
construction of new infrastructure.
The biggest difference in this organization is its
leaders. These are the owners elected by the managing
committee. They spend scarce personal timekeeping
operational processes in place, evaluating expenditure
decisions, and executing projects for the general
welfare, without looking for personal gains. Some
of them learn completely new skills like accounting
for doing so! When they applaud loudly, they also
receive more suspicion which often makes their work
ungrateful. They believe in their courage and their
drive to build that dream neighborhood!
It is to these apartment dwellers and their managing
committees that they at the Adda team dedicate their
life’s work. They build for them the best software
product on which they can run their apartment
community - weaving together every aspect of
communications, facility management, security, and
accounting. Starting in 2009, they have been working
tirelessly towards bringing residential communities
together by connecting them online. Their motto is to
rise above, and every member of Team Adda imbibes
the values of Integrity, Excellence, and Collaboration.
What Else Is There For Innovation?
In cases where the business is part of a larger
conglomerate and has aspects of centralized
procurement or centralized accounting, it will need to
be integrated with the accounting software used by the
parent group. Adda provides APIs for such integrations
and an integration support team.
Thus, for most community and asset management
businesses, the Adda accounting engine is completely
tailor-made and sufficient to meet industrial needs in
real-time.

issued. The model was scalable. ThinClient was
a very new concept at the time, and acceptance
was very low. But gradually the business grew,
and Enjay became known as the thin client

28. Efficient logistics are commonly associated with better
trade all over the world. The efficiency of the country's
trade determines the ability to grow and compete
in the global economy. Logistics services establish
various links within the local economy. It also ties
the domestic and international economies together.
The domestic economy's connection is supported
by efficient transportation and logistics networks,
which connect numerous interdependent production
sectors (agricultural, manufacturing, agri-food, tourism,
and so on).
The scenario in India
Over the last two decades, academics, professionals, and
practitionershavebeeninterestedinlogisticsmanagement
as a research topic. Efficient logistics management and
online transport services can result in lower operational
costs, improved delivery performance, and higher
customer satisfaction levels, allowing a company to
compete on quality, pricing, flexibility, and delivery.
Efficient logistics is a necessity for the success of India's
"Make in India" strategy, allowing small-scale producers
to access new markets and farmers to benefit from the
timely uptake of perishable produce. India hs already
made significant progress in this direction. The goods and
services tax (GST), when fully implemented, will assist to
unify this huge and diversified country, transforming it
into a single market, eliminating inefficient taxation, and
helping the industrial sector.

contributes 0.2% to GDP. Indian railways plan to develop
logistic parks to optimize the supply chain and cost
reduction for goods supply. The establishment of Special
Economic Zones (SEZs) has resulted in an increase in
logistics activity in the surrounding area. Because of their
great port, rail, and road connectivity, several logistics
parks have sprouted in cities like Mumbai, Kolkata,
Chennai, and Hyderabad, which are seeing major
infrastructure investments.
Challenges in India
There are some challenges to the logistic industry in
India. Some of those are as follows:
☐
National, regional, and municipal authorities
implement various laws and regulations.
☐ The logistics industry's key issues included a lack of
integration in transportation networks, inefficient
warehousing and distribution facilities, and
information technology.
☐ The logistics industry requires trained labour, and
there is a scarcity of training institutes, it producing
problems among employees and logistics managers.
☐ Poor management and storage facilities are to blame
for significant material loss, damage, and deterioration,
particularly in the perishables industry. Refrigerated
storage and containers, as well as maintenance,
are required.
☐
Enhancement of infrastructure development,
managing the needs of diverse divisional supply chains,
modifying industrial regulations to facilitate efficient
production and transportation of commodities, and
implementing effective managerial practices and
technology to improve competitiveness are problems.
Previous Data & Estimations
☐
As of 2016, the logistics sector employed 21.24
million. Out of 21.24 million, 54% were employed in
the roadways passenger segment, 35% in road freight
and the rest distributed in railway passenger, freight
forwarding, warehousing, packaging & other services.
☐ Mumbai,Kolkata,HyderabadandAhmedabaddistricts
were mainly the distribution centers of employees.
Bangalore, Surat and Indore are the emerging clusters
for the logistics industry.
☐ It is assumed that India will increase its logistics
workforce number from 210 million (i.e. 2.1 crores) to
over 31 million (i.e. 3.1 crores) by the end of the year
2022. This estimation includes all the modes - railway,
ports, roads and aviation.
Promoting the logistics industry
The government has already initiated training facilities for
unskilled labours & youth for upcoming opportunities.
Thrustoninfrastructureprojectshasintensified,dedicated
to addressing the loopholes such as unskilled workforce,
logistics inter-connectivity, new ports, railway & roads.
Sagarmala project & Bharatmala project are connecting
water trade routes across the big rivers & creeks that will
help connect seaports & reduce the overall trade expenses.
Conclusion
Logistic services are the strong support system of the
trade. An overview of Indian logistics is mentioned in the
article. It is critical to the continued growth of global trade.
Despite logistics' critical role in supporting commercial
activity, trade practitioners have traditionally placed a low
priority on analysis and trade policy research.

ingman is a real-time sales coaching tool
that gives sales reps the right information
at the right time, while they are on call.
Wingman proactively alerts managers to risky deals
and calls requiring coaching. Wingman is always there
on every call, constantly assisting your representative
while interacting with customers. They help you change
sales behavior at the moment through monologue
alerts. Train your reps on sales objections while
they are on the call. Win this quarter and the
next. Unless you enjoy a post-mortem after
you've lost a deal.
While there are many benefits to sales
analytics, let's look at the four
mostprominent
ones. Using lead scoring algorithms, organizations can
find the right leads. These algorithms tap into historical
sales data at a granular level with external data sets to
paint a complete picture of each customer. As a result,
the sales team can find and prioritize the best deals as
early in the sales process as possible.
According to McKinsey, some companies are
experimenting with AI-enabled agents, which combine
predictive analytics and natural-language processing to
automate lead generation by handling basic customer
queries and automating initial pre-sales queries. are.
Sales analysis can help organizations find upsell/cross-
sell opportunities to increase a customer's lifetime value
using the next product-to-buy algorithm. It can also
reduce churn by considering customers switching to
competitors and reaching them before it's too late.
For example, a global chemicals company set up
a predictive model using over 30 variables,
identified ten key factors that pushed
customers away, and compiled
a list of 'at risk' customers.

loyal, reducing churn by 25%. Sales
performance analysis is a better way to track
and improve the effectiveness of your sales team
reps. For example, using a platform like a Wingman
helps you monitor sales calls, metrics such as total calls
and talk-to-listen ratios, and spot patterns that separate
won deals from lost deals.
Equipped with a 360-degree view of each rep, you
can identify skills that need to be improved and
find the appropriate training program. In addition,
sales managers can tailor their coaching strategy to
match each representative's needs, which increases
each representative's overall productivity and
efficiency. Managers can also take advantage of
real-time sales coaching to walk their reps through
customer-facing interactions.
Their Values:
☐ React = move to version 2.0: Nothing is perfect and
constant feedback helps in identifying paths to make
things better.
☐ Ask anything: Feel free to ask anyone anything and
understand the reason behind what they say and do.
☐ Take Ownership: Everything they do affects their
customers directly or indirectly.
☐ Deliver The Promised Price: Their users entrust
them not only with their money but also with
their information.

■ Sales Coaching
■ Deal Intelligence

Conclusion
Sales analysis, when done right, can help you capture
better leads, improve customer retention, boost sales
performance, increase sales efficiency, and make sales
coaching more effective. However, collecting high-
quality, real-time data with context is central to the
effectiveness of the analysis. So the first step is to focus
on mapping the purpose of analytics and setting up the
right use cases. The next step is to choose the right tool
that meets your data and analytics needs.
A tool like Wingman can help you build an
information-heavy sales analysis dashboard that brings
together all the past, present, and future sales data in
one place.

36. Long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns
are referred to as climate change. These movements
could be due to natural causes, such as oscillations in
the solar cycle. However, human activities have been the
primary cause of climate change since the 1800s, owing
to the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas.
The present article gives an overview of the Indian
economy impacted by climate change. Climate change is
a major crisis the globe is facing now.
Impact of climate change on the
Indian economy
India is the world's sixth most vulnerable country to
climatechange.Thechangesinclimateaffecttheeconomy
in various ways. According to a report produced by the
London-based global think tank Overseas Development
Institute, India might lose anywhere between 3 and 10%
of its GDP yearly by 2100, and its poverty rate could grow
by 3.5 percent by 2040 as a result of climate change.
Cost to the climate crisis
The Indian economy could lose trillions in the next
decade if no effective climate action is taken to minimize
the effects of climate change. According to a Deloitte
analysis, India might lose $35 trillion in various sectors
by 2070 if it does not transition to low-emission fuels
and lessen its reliance on fossil fuels. The overall cost
of the devastation could be as much as 12.7 percent of
India's GDP. According to the analysis, if nothing is done
about climate change, India's economic potential will
be reduced by 5.5 percent per year on average over the
next 50 years.
Industrial risk-
If the measures are not implemented, these five industries
will be prone to risk:
■ Service sector
■ Retail and tourism

■ Manufacturing industry
■ Construction industry
■ Conventional energy sector
Currently, these sectors contribute more to India's GDP.
Other impacts of climate change
Other than the economy, climate change affects
the following factors which indirectly relate to
the economy:
☐ Water
Climate changes alter water resources. Shortage of
freshwater resists overall activities. The change in the
Monsoon pattern has been bad to worse in the last
decade. The late arrival of monsoon and heavy rainfall
in a day has become a daily episode in the season.
Megafloods are getting more severe than ever.
☐ Food
Food supply depends on the weather conditions.
Though the technology has been implemented, it is
not enough to cover the margin of food shortage in
the long run.
☐ Human health
Heat is one of the most dangerous weather conditions.
Hurricanes are becoming stronger and wetter as
ocean temperatures rise, posing a direct and indirect
risk of fatalities. More wildfires occur as a result of dry
weather, posing numerous health dangers.
☐ Infrastructure
Itisalsoaffectedbythecalamitiesdrivenbythechange
in temperature. Infrastructure is the basic necessity for
the uninterrupted flow of the economy. Heatwaves,
extreme winter, or severe rainfall have become the
prime reasons for infrastructure destruction.
Government effectors on dealing with
climate change
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a
five-point strategy dubbed the Panchamrita at the 26th
Conference of Parties (CoP26) to attain this goal.
These are the five points:
☐
India's non-fossil energy capacity will reach 500
gigawatts (GW) by 2030.
☐ By 2030, India will have met 50% of its energy needs
with renewable energy.
☐ From now until 2030, India will lower its overall
estimated carbon emissions by one billion tonnes.
☐ By 2030, India's economy will have reduced its carbon
intensity by less than 45 percent.
☐ India will achieve Net Zero by the year 2070.
With the impact of climate change becoming obvious
through irregular weather patterns, analysts have
estimated that unabated global warming might cost
India $6 trillion in monetary losses by 2050. On the other
side, if the current trend of significant investments in
emission-reduction initiatives continues, the country's
economy might benefit by about $11 trillion by 2070.
Conclusion
We are at an alarming stage where just having conference
meetings will not help us recover from the mess we
have created. It's not just India that developed nations
are mainly held responsible for this consequence. Their
growth in the last two centuries has increased the pace of
rising earth's temperature & polluting our air.
The destruction stage has been arranged by a few, for
their so-called growth & peace. Now, it's high time for
us to correct those environmental crimes & correct what
has been done wrong.
