India’s Most Valuable Companies Revamping the Future
Agro-Revolu onaries
Driving Sustainable Bandwagon
he first step toward sustainability is changing our
Teating habits. Scientists, doctors, and healthcare
professionals worldwide have agreed that organic
farming, naturally produced grains, fruits, vegetables, and
all of our foods must be reembraced to live a healthy and
prosperous life.
Chemically induced, a global food chain based on inorganic
and fertilizer-enhanced food produce will be extremely
hazardous in the long run, as evidenced by new-age
diseases and disorders affecting an increasing proportion of
the population in both developed and developing countries.
Thus, organic farming and providing healthy, natural, and
organic food products could now be considered one of the
noblest missions for which Gangotri Organics was
founded in 2017. Pragnesh Patel and Bharat
Maheshwari, the dynamic Managing Partners of this
modernistic firm based in Valsad, Gujarat, guide it.
Gangotri sells a wide range of organic farm products to
domestic and international markets.
Seeding the Organic Woods
Gangotri is a certified ISO 9001: 2015 company that has
been a pioneer in producing natural and organic foods from
remote locations. These humble, down-to-earth, passionate
farmers are the first organic farmers. The company farms
and encourages farmers to start organic farming of
vegetables, fruits, spices, and oyster mushrooms.
Aside from agriculture products, Gangotri is a merchant
exporter of API, surgical items, packing material,
construction material, Bamboo craft products, compostable
cutlery, carry bags and the world’s most innovative herbal
fuel additive. It offers a wide range of ready-to-eat
products, including oyster mushroom powder and fresh,
dried products. Oyster Mushrooms are high in vitamins and
minerals, which benefit health and help alleviate the world’s
malnutrition problem.
The company has a well-qualified team for handling its inhouse
pre- and post-shipment processes. It receives regular
orders with upfront payments due to the strong trust
developed with vendors over years of consistent,
transparent dealings.
Gangotri Organics, in collaboration with its associate
company, Shreeniwas Innovations Pvt. Ltd., is working to
improve society by addressing the SDGs (Sustainable
Development Goals). Without making any changes or
alterations to the vehicles or industrial machinery, the
company saves more fuel and reduces vehicle emissions
than expected. Gangotri has reduced the sulfur content of
gasoline by 100%, a worldwide miracle. Another unique
aspect of the company is its ability to successfully mitigate
Sulfur by up to 50% from Furnace Oil.

This company currently offers a diverse range of valueadded

partner in incredible innovations, is empowering over 500

Gangotri Organics has a strong product portfolio with a
distinct selling proposition to meet market demands with
the following B2B and B2C business models. It is a
globally scalable business from a rapidly growing Indian
market with multi-fold financial growth capability.
Pragnesh strongly believes in taking up challenges and
changes in life. He feels, “We should look beyond our
boundaries, leave the comfort space, and explore, challenge
ourselves to work on things that are diagonally opposite
and work on problems that matter, thus making this world a
better place. Also, as things come by, tackle them one at a
time, step by step and piece by piece.”
The Farsighted Leadership
Techno-Logical Dynamism
Pragnesh was inspired to enter the organic farming space
and co-found Gangotri Organics by the plight of farmers
and drivers in India. He believes that with the right
technology and attitude, farmers can earn more and be
white-collared. Pragnesh is a role model for enabling and
empowering oyster mushroom production in South Gujarat.
Gangotri Organics is a pioneer in organic farming in
Gujarat and one of the leading bio and eco-friendly
mushroom product manufacturers. Gangotri Organics began
organic mushroom cultivation in Valsad in 2017 and
quickly expanded into international markets. On the other
hand, it has trained over 200 women entrepreneurs to
cultivate mushrooms most economically and to improve
Bharat Maheshwari, an undergraduate from the small town

dried mushrooms and its products, organic pulses cereals,
oils, fruits and vegetables, organic manure, bamboo mugs,
plates, cups, and many other innovative products.
Finding natural organic food in modern cities is difficult
due to pollution of various types, including air, water, and
earth, which is found everywhere and harms both health
and the environment. The organization has encouraged
farmers to practice organic farming to make a positive
difference.
Gangotri Organics has developed a ready market for their
products and provided them with guidance and support in
organic farming. Bharat Maheshwari travels nationwide
and internationally to find the right entrepreneurs to scale
his business with Gangotri Organics, which is researching
new innovative products/startups interested in biodegradable
and eco-friendly products to expand this
initiative.
Naturally Unique Inspirations
Gangotri Organics is capable of combating climate
change and wishes to participate in resolving issues at
COP27, UN, WHO, and SDG due to its products and
sustainable methodology.
He invites everyone to join hands in making a better life
with God’s unlimited resources, which must be used
ethically and without further harming and damaging
Mother Earth. “We can change today’s polluted air to
good quality air #SHUDH HAWA, #CO2 to O2,” he adds.
“During 2020, when the entire world was in pandemic
lockdown, pollution levels had decreased significantly,
improving air quality. This was a subtle message that
should not be overlooked.”
A variety of sources inspired Gangotri Organics. The first
was to effect change in eco-friendly and sustainable
production, while the second was to assist farmers in
obtaining the best rates and marketing their products in
national and international markets they previously could
not reach. This has increased the organization’s value and
the farmers’ society’s ability to rely on it as a transparent
and resource-supportive company.
The company’s unique selling point is its organic, fresh,
frozen, and dried Ready-to-Eat products. Gangotri
Organics is the only company that farms Organic Oyster
Mushrooms and delivers them in fresh, dried powdered
form, among other things. Furthermore, the company’s
most innovative herbal fuel additive is a demanding
business.
Towards a Greenest Future
Organic farming was a novel concept that required
convincing both farmers and consumers. Because the
current market conditions and industry practices were
entirely based on the use of artificial products, the Gangotri
Organics team had to explain the benefits of organic
farming and its impact on customers, the market, and the
environment.
The growing market has seen a steady increase in organic
producers. Because there is no standardization in this
segment, organic certification agencies are now a challenge.
According to Bharat, technology transformation plays a
significant role in expanding businesses and maximizing
their reach to all corners of the globe. Bharat defines IT as
the Instant Transfer of Funds, Technology, Messages, Ideas,
and People.
Modern technologies have helped a lot in aggregating
things that were far-fetched and thought of as a possibility
and have become a reality, powering the advancements in
organic farming.
Farmers are now connected directly to us via technology, as
are end users, leveraging technology for all of their needs,
making it easier for Gangotri Organics to understand the
requirements from both sides.
Gangotri Organics is an established provider of organic
solutions. “We are the Next Generation Company, which is
a need of the hour as well as the future depending on these
business areas,” Bharat advises young professionals. “Our
forefathers gave us this beautiful planet on which we live
and enjoy our lives. It is now our responsibility to be
accountable in developing clean, logical, and long-term
businesses that will improve our environment and make it a
better place for future generations to live and prosper
happily.”
Gangotri Organics has rightly devised its future projections
based on a Clear vision. Its vision is focused on SCOPE –
Sustainable Culture of People Everywhere. This is its
scope with the offerings of instant ready-to-eat organic food
and a living style called LIFE – Let’s Intervene Food for
Everyone, addressing SDG Goals 2,3,8,11,13,15,17.

India's Most Valuable Companies Revamping the Future
INDR
Agrotech
On the Mission to Helping Farmers and Nature with Organic Solutions
Along with increasing air and water pollution, using
chemical fertilizers in farmlands results in the
worst soil erosions we have seen. It is the major
issue troubling rural habitats completely dependent on
agriculture and farm produce. Increasing land pollution and
soil erosion is leading to unavailability of the seasoned and
matured earth-beds for the farmers to sow their crops and
yield high-quality seasonal yields affecting their annual
income.
Furthermore, the crop cultivated and nurtured in such
conditions remains most vulnerable to pests, insects,
worms, and diseases, further affecting their long-term
production and sustainability. In most cases, such produce
deteriorates quickly and becomes ineffective swiftly under
even the slightest adverse climate conditions.
It is one of the most significant issues faced by people
engaged in farming, agriculture, and other allied activities
regarding land and soil quality compromise. Premium
quality organic fertilizers are emerging as an essential
countermeasure in this regard. Most importantly, founded in
2020, INDR Agrotech Pvt Ltd has proven itself to be the
dependable and reliable Manufacturer, Exporter and
Wholesaler of a premium quality range of Organic Fertilizers.
The firm also trades in Potash, Soil Conditioners, and
Silica. The organization's range of products is available
under the brand name INDR Agrotech. The firm is located
in Indore (Madhya Pradesh, India) and has a wide area for
manufacturing fertilizers and Silica. Under the leadership of
its founders Mr Iqbal Hussain, Mr D.N Salunke and Ms
Sangeeta Kalyani, INDR Agrotech gained a huge global
clientele. Rakesh Mittal, Shishir Maheshwari and
Nanasaheb Zakane are the other team members.
Mr Hussain shares, “We are backed by a team of dexterous
professionals with rich experience in this domain. Our
professionals are the biggest asset of our organization and
are selected after a complete assessment of their skills and
domain expertise.”
Ensuring Agro Sustenance
As of today, INDR Agrotech has fulfilled the need for
organic fertilizers. The Firm is also an exporter of fertilizers
and silica to the USA, Canada, UK, Nepal, Africa, France,
Germany, Italy, Nigeria, Egypt, Tanzania, Kenya, Bangladesh,
China, Russia, Australia, Mali, Mauritius, Maldives,
Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Korea. “We offer these
products to our customers with the soundest and safe
packaging to ensure quality delivery,” says Mr Hussain, a
renowned Agro Entrepreneur with 27 years of trading
experience with Agro MNCs. Dealing with insecticides for
so long and seeing their harmful results, he decided to shut
operations and do something extraordinary. With this
vision, he started this company to return the debt of nature
and also help farmers.

INDR Agrotech has proven
itself to be the dependable and
reliable Manufacturer,
Exporter and Wholesaler of
a premium quality range of
Organic Fertilizers.
“Also, we, at INDR Agrotech, ensure that the quantity we
supply is also as per the customer's demands,” says another
veteran Mr Salunke, a technical head of the company. With
BSc. in Agriculture, he is behind all the unique product
development. He has 18+ years of experience and study of
plants, nature and soil and their requirements.
According to Ms Sangeeta, INDR Agrotech is a DPIITregistered
startup company working to improve nature.
“For thousands of years, we continuously exploit nature
without returning its longstanding dues. Our company is
trying to return its health to nature,” she says.
Sangeeta is a lady with strong administrative and operational
qualities and 22+ years of experience in administration.
Successfully running other ventures also, she is behind
the company's management.
Fostering the Nutrient-Rich Soil
According to her, the soil has become harder and lost
almost all its nutrients. So the team INDR developed soil
conditioners with guaranteed results of softening of soil
within 20 days. So many soil conditioners are in the market,
but INDRs products have guaranteed results with replenishing
soil nutrients. It makes soil airier to breathe.
Ms Sangeeta further shares that they have studied nature,
climate, temperature, and various stages of plant development
and accordingly developed multi nutrients products as
per the requirement of plants. Plants' need for nutrients
differs in different stages of development, climatic
conditions and soil. Mr Salunke adds that their nutrients are
developed to provide proper plant nutritional growth. These
nutrient-rich products eliminate harmful chemical products
(fertilizers and insecticides). Plants grown using INDR
products have great nutritional value. “We are also manufacturing
potash drawn from molasses as promoted by the
government of India to reduce imports,” says Mr Hussain,
who informs that they are also manufacturing prom
alternative to DAP and SSP.
the INDR team to make farmers use the products. Still, they
face the same issue as exploring and opening new areas.
Strengthening India’s Agricultural Backbone
Being experienced leaders, they share their opinions on
how technology is transforming their sector and the
advancements that can be expected in the future. See, the
land cannot grow with a growing population. They must
look for techniques to increase crop production on the same
land. New techniques have to be developed to increase crop
production.
In their advice to the aspirants willing to venture into
Agrotech, the team says to Work towards new and unique
techniques so that crop production can be increased without
damaging nature. Use minimal chemicals and promote
balance plant nutrition.
On envisioning scaling INDR Agrotech’s scope and
offerings in future, Mr Hussain shares that India is an
agricultural country. Per year consumption of agricultural
products in India is around rupees One Lakh crore. “So
there is a huge potential for growth of our company,” he
concludes.
Cleansing Earth of Catastrophic Chemicals
Stating their inspiration behind venturing as a valuable
Agrotech company, the team INDR says it was to try to pay
some of the debt they owe to nature. “We see in our daily
life harmful results of chemicals which they cause to
nature.” Nature and all other living organisms are also
affected by these chemicals. So to prevent the usage of
these harmful chemicals, they have started this venture.
Sharing the USPs that make them stand out as a
transformational company, the team says they have deeply
studied various factors affecting soil and plants and
carefully developed and successfully tested the products.
All products developed are unique, with a different recipe
and guaranteed results. They have designed plant nutrition
management charts as per various stages of plant growth.
Highlighting the initial challenges after venturing into the
field and the challenges now, the team says the country’s
farming community lacks knowledge of using nutrients for
crop production. Farmers are unaware of plant nutrition
management. So in the initial phase, it was very difficult for

Strengthening Agro-Industry Through Enriching Biotech Innovations
he growing population has increased the demand
Tfor food production, which has triggered the farmers
and large-scale producers to use modern
technologies with the latest fertilizers, pesticides and
additives that have maximized crop yield.
However, chemical-based fertilizers and pesticides have
several harmful effects. Like water pollution, air pollution,
soil deterioration, damaging other plants, birds, and animals
and most importantly, affecting humans. It has led to the
need for organic farming and sustainable solutions based on
Biotechnology.
Here nature itself works well in aiding the process of farm
production. Microbial biotechnology can improve the
agroecosystem by employing microorganisms to increase
the soil nutrient content, increase crop productivity,
enhance resistance to specific plant pathogens, and produce
safer herbicides.
Implementing phenomenal innovations of microbial
biotechnology in enhancing agricultural production in a
clean, long-term, healthier and sustainable manner, Kan
Biosys Pvt Ltd has transformed how farmers should look at
creating the best sustainable, natural and highly effective
agricultural production in every crop cycle.
As the Founding Chairperson and Managing Director,
Sandeepa Kanitkar has steered the process of offering
advanced microbial technology from seed to harvest. An
array of selective and efficient strains of microbes are
formulated, using award-winning and patented processes,
into hi-tech products.
The Core Business
Kan Biosys has been working in the research and
development of microbes for over two decades. It offers
advanced microbial technology from seed to harvest.
The company has developed a microbial platform for highyield,
cost-effective, residue-free and responsible,
sustainable farming. Smart Bioplatform is a unique
platform for microbial technologies for sustainable
agriculture. It encompasses using microbes for soil health,
nutrition, and pest and disease management. It is a dynamic
and innovative platform to harness the wonderful properties
of microbes in the best possible manner.
The Key Differentiator
Kan Biosys offers the latest technology solutions to feed the
crops, protect them from pests and diseases and manage soil
fertility from seed to harvest. Kan Biosys has been working
with microbes for over two decades. Efficient strains have
been collected, tested and selected with award-winning and
patented formulation processes into hi-tech products. All
products are registered as bio-fertilizers at FCO [Fertilizer
Control Order] and as pesticides and plant growth
regulators at CIB and RC [Central Insecticides Board and
Registration Committee]. Products are also certified for
organic farming in India, Australia, Turkey and the USA.
Excessive and obsessive use of chemical fertilizers pollutes
our soils and water bodies. The plants use less than 30% of
the applied fertilizers. The rest are leached into water
bodies or fixed as the unavailable form in the soil. This
wasteful expenditure increases the cultivation costs and
pollutes the environment, food and water. Bio-fertility
solutions in the form of bio-fertilizers can supplement
Nitrogen and Phosphorus. PGPR bacteria (Plant Growth
Promoting) improve the growth of plants substantially.
Bio-fertilizers can be used as seed dressers, soil inoculants
and foliar inoculants. Bio-fertilizers can provide 25-30
kg/acre of Nitrogen and 10-15 kg/acre of Phosphorus. Antistress
products can help the plant overcome stress caused

Soil Nutrient catalyzer can help retain the nutrients around
the rhizosphere and absorption by the plant.
Pest and Disease Management
Crop losses due to pests and diseases are problematic
around the world. More than 30-50% of the yield is lost due
to pests. Chemical pesticides have been able to control
many pests over the past decades. However, toxic residues
in food/water/environment threaten human and animal
health. Chemical pesticides are also rendered inefficient due
to resistance built up in pests. It has necessitated the search
for bio-control agents, bio-pesticides and bio-metabolites.
Bio-pesticides are formulations of entomopathogenic
(killing insects), fungicidal (killing fungi) and
nematophagous (killing nematodes) microbes. Biopesticides
control pests by causing diseases. They are safe
and residue-free with zero pre-harvest intervals. Biopesticides
are used as soil and foliar sprays. For best results,
bio-pesticides are incorporated into the normal package of
practices during farming. The main reason is to create a
sufficient population density of bio-pesticide microbes
which helps reduce unnecessary sprays. For best results,
start early and check for compatibility with chemicals.
Soil Health Management
The key to success is 4R-Recycle, Reactivate, Reclaim and
Reap. Soil is the most vital part of any farming system.
Intensive crop cultivation often compromises soil fertility,
mainly due to excessive use of fertilizers, water and tillage
and the absence of recycling organic matter. Soils having
more than one per cent organic matter have sufficient
nutrient reserves with mobilizing microbes. Organic matter
also buffers against drastic changes and imparts a “biosponge”
effect to the soil.
Organic matter stops chemical fertilisers' leaching,
improving fertilizer use efficiency. The living world in the
form of microbes and small animals is nourished by organic
matter. Soil fertility depends on the soil's physical, chemical
and biological properties. Recycling carbon as compost is
the best sustainable way to maintain soil fertility.
With a scientific approach and
implementing biotechnology solutions,
we help the farmers generate optimum
crop production by the precise
use of water, fertilizers and
natural resources.
Exemplary Leadership
The main driving force of this great organization, Sandeepa,
has been passionate about guiding the team in the research
and development of several products and solutions. They
have impacted sustainably growing agriculture. Her
enthusiasm for bringing in newer technologies and practices
has led her to explore various international platforms,
exhibitions and conferences where she identified new
avenues of collaboration for mutual symbiosis.
Inspired by Nature
Looking at the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides, Sandeepa strongly felt that nature has a solution
to every problem; in this case, it is nature itself. She read
and researched alternate eco-friendly, sustainable
methodologies and offered effective solutions at much more
feasible costs.
Modern technologies have contributed to the research and
development of biotechnologies by developing useful
products from organisms, including microbes, bacteria,
microorganisms, tissues, organs, molecules, and cells.

Tech Transitions
Recent developments in biotechnology include genetically
modified plants and animals, cell therapies and
nanotechnology. DNA technology forms the sequencing,
analysis, and cutting-and-pasting of DNA. Like DNA
sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, DNA cloning, and
gel electrophoresis. Modern biotechnology plays a role in
developments in environmental studies, forensics, farming
and food preparation, medicine and fuel production.
Innovation is in Kan Biosys’ DNA. Its unique SAP-RTD
platform in its DSIR-recognized R&D department has
produced state-of-the-art microbial products formulated by
award-winning technologies.
remember that we are responsible for what we give in
nature.”
Envisaging a Sustainable Symbiotic Future
Sandeepa has envisioned a future of developing affordable
innovation for farmers, maximizing yields, and reducing the
cost of cultivation. “Our efforts focus on creating
responsible cultivation practices with mindful and
accountable production.” It will help create a sustainable
world by producing healthy food through fertile soil, fresh
water and a clean environment.
Sandeepa and Kan Biosys Hall of Fame
The firm is the inventor of Liquid bio-fertilizers for NP and
K supplementation. Novel methods of using microbes on
seed, in the rhizosphere and foliar surfaces provide the
farmer with multiple benefits. Its discovery pipeline can
yield novel microbes for plant nutrition, protection and soil
health management.
Tackling Challenges with Innovation
Sandeepa believes that changing the mindset of the farming
community is very crucial. Most of the farmers are
influenced by the traditional practices of using chemical
fertilizers and pesticides that damage the soil, increase
water pollution and cause health hazards to humans, birds
and animals. With our examples and testimonials of several
farmer groups who have produced surplus crop cycles at
very low investments, they started believing in the
advantages of biotechnological applications through the
power of microbes for agriculture.
Words of Wisdom
Offering her advice to young professionals by adopting an
approach that adopts organic, eco-friendly and sustainable
initiatives., Sandeepa says that to understand the current
conditions, study the concerns of the farmers and the
challenges faced. “With a scientific approach and
implementing biotechnology solutions, you can help the
farmers generate optimum crop production with the proper
use of water, fertilizers and natural resources. Always

Symbolizing Purity with Benchmarks of Quality
Organic foods and herbal products often have more
beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than
their conventionally grown counterparts. People
with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives may find
their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only
organic foods and use herbal products. Consequently,
organic foods and herbal products are increasingly gaining
popularity because a greater portion of the population wants
to know their benefits.
The general fact is organic foods and herbal products are
healthier than conventional food and care products, and it’s
the primary reason for their increased demand over the past
decade. The choice to consume/use organic/herbal
foods/products is thus a growing trend in the world of
today, following the realization of healthy selfimprovement
needs.
There has been a great demand for natural, herbal, and
organic products in the marketplace. People would love to
purchase them if they are genuine. So, Mr Mathew Joseph
thought of why not start a store and invest in products
where people can buy purely natural and organic spices,
herbs, and herbal beauty products under one store itself.

The Tale of Inception
Before establishing Kerala Naturals, Mathew Joseph was a
Secretary at Kuwait National Petroleum Company. After
that, he started working in Global Ayurveda Magazine for
several years.
He attended many exhibitions nationally and internationally
where he experienced the importance and use of natural
products. He realized and noticed that many people were
interested in organic and natural products. He thought, why
not start a store where people can buy purely natural and
organic spices, herbs, and beauty products under one store?
Kerala Naturals products are manufactured maintaining
international standards with international benchmark
certifications like ISO, GMP, etc.
With a humble beginning, Kerala Naturals started with only
three nutraceutical products focusing mainly on foreign
marketplaces. With time, today, they have introduced more
than 80 products of different varieties like spices, herbs, and
beauty products which are exported to more than 100
countries.
Now, Kerala Naturals has two more brands: Kanan Naturale
– an exclusive store for spices and Preethy’s Boutique – a
store exclusively for premium quality beauty products.
Its vision is to instantaneously deliver nature’s best quality
herbs and spices to the world with a single click and ensure
complete customer satisfaction by providing the products on
time, effectively, and professionally.
Its mission is to be a brand where customers can
confidently buy the best quality herbs and spices. As pure as
nature – is the USP that differentiates Kerala Naturals from
other brands. (To explore the range of products, click

stars of Kerala Naturals, posting ideas in their ideal
categories and sharing them through their social media. One
can find the same on different social media platforms like
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.
The Pearls of Wisdom
‘Think big, dream big’ is the mantra that Founder Mathew
Joseph believes in. He shared his advice for aspiring
entrepreneurs: “Aspiring entrepreneurs should be daring
and risk taker and provide top-tier services. With the world
moving towards a healthier, environment-friendly lifestyle,
India's organic market has also been strongly growing. We
know that there is always a great demand for organic and
natural products in the marketplaces. Thus, with a unique
strategy to differentiate themselves from the market,
www.ciolookindia.com (26)
March | 2023
entrepreneurs can start a retail store for a holistic target
audience. Focus on the collection, pricing, and marketing
strategies. Besides all these, we should focus on building
trust in customers' minds by providing them with pure,
organic, and natural products without any added
preservatives.”
Towards the Horizons of Success
In the next five years, the organization aims to have retail
franchise stores in different metro cities initially and then
slowly expand to 3-tier – 2-tier cities with more organic and
natural products on its bucket list.
Furthermore, it aims to participate in more foreign
exhibitions and trade fairs in order to meet new foreign
clients and increase and expand our sales and business
globally.
Apart from this, it ensures faster delivery of its products
and increases customer satisfaction by introducing more
herbal beauty products and setting its footprints at the
global level. “In the next five years, we are also planning to
amalgamate with big investors who would help to reach
Kerala Naturals to new heights,” expresses and concludes
Mr Mathew Joseph.

Pand developed in the modern Technovative
environment. It is now advancing with full steam,
encompassing and transforming every sphere of our daily
life. Digital security and telecommunications are two facets
that emerged as critical factors in the successful lifecycle of
enterprising entities safeguarding our techno-integrated
business lives.
Leading in these domains with a vision to be a world leader
in innovative telecom and security solutions, Matrix
Comsec offers cutting-edge, high-performance telecom and
security solutions to business customers as its professional
mission.
Established in 1991 by Ganesh Jivani, the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director (MD),
Matix provides world-class Security and Telecom solutions
to meet the requirements of modern times. Matrix has been
offering a comprehensive range of solutions for IP Video
Surveillance, Access Control, Time-Attendance, and
Telecom applications. All these solutions are specifically
designed for large and multi-location enterprises, SMEs,
and SMBs.
Tech-Leveraged Innovations
Matrix leverages technology and innovation to meet
customers' requirements and delight them with the solutions
offered. Mr. Jivani says, “Our commitment is to keep pace
with the revolutions in the Security and Telecom domain.
Reiterating our resolve to bring forth the best solutions for
our customers, 40% of our human resources are dedicated
to researching, designing, and manufacturing new
products.”
Today, it is mission-critical for organizations to control and
manage who has access to their facilities. In this regard,
Matrix offers Access Control and Time-Attendance
solutions to help organizations accomplish this. These
solutions are applicable to both employees and visitors. In
the segment of IP Video Surveillance, the company offers
Video Management Software (VMS), Network Video
Recorders (NVRs), and IP cameras that meet businesses'
security and surveillance concerns.
Matrix’s Telecom Solutions, such as Unified
Communications, IP-PBX, Universal Media Gateways,
VoIP, GSM Gateways, and Communication Endpoints,
ensure seamless communication across multiple locations.
“All solutions provided by us are feature-rich, reliable, and
conform to international standards,” says Mr. Jivani.
A Journey of Leadership Excellence
Sharing his journey, Mr. Jivani says he and his partner had
pursued Computer Science Engineering from the M. S.
University in Vadodara. Mr. Jivani worked as an R&D
Engineer for four years before establishing Matrix. Like
most technology startups, Matrix, too, had a humble
beginning. He informs, “In pursuing our goal to design,
produce and sell our products, we created our first PBX and
began selling it in Gujarat. Over time, we grew our
customer base, employee base, and physical infrastructure.
We increased our product offerings and began
manufacturing a complete range of PBXs and Media
Gateways.”
Mr. Jivani and the team at Matrix kept adding value by
offering more solutions to the same enterprise customers,
which helped them in their growth journey. Most
customers, SIs, and distributors prefer relying on a single
OEM for their Telecom and Security needs. Therefore,
adding physical Security solutions made perfect sense
because this offered adjacencies on three dimensions -
Technologies, Distribution Networks, and Customers.
With this strategy, they added biometric solutions for Time-
Attendance and Access Control applications in 2007.
Having entered the Security domain, adding IP Video
Surveillance was a logical expansion. They started working
on IP Cameras, Network Video Recorders, and Video
Management Systems in 2010.
www.ciolookindia.com (33)
March | 2023
As a result, today, Matrix offers 60+ products in Telecom,
Access Control, Time-Attendance, and IP Video
Surveillance.
Embodying Substance
Sharing Matrix’s USPs that make it stand out as a leading
tech firm, Mr. Jivani says its core business strategy is
centred around value differentiation. They strive to
differentiate themselves in every aspect of their operations,
including product design, manufacturing, marketing, sales,
and support.
He adds, “I can say our core brand value is SUBSTANCE.
We strive to offer substance in everything we do –
technology, applications, functions, features, performance,
flexibility, and support.” At Matrix, their positioning
strategy involves providing customers and partners with
products and services that embody these values to a greater
extent. It requires them to delve deeper into the core of their
offerings rather than simply focusing on surface-level
features.
Another factor that sets them apart is providing end-to-end
support to their customers. Most importantly, Matrix has an
in-house manufacturing unit and R&D Centre to offer quick
turnaround for clients.
“
Reitera ng our resolve to bring
forth the best solu ons for our
customers, 40% of our human
resources are dedicated to researching,
designing, and manufacturing new products.
“
The Matrix of Transformation
Being an experienced leader, he shares his opinion on how
technology is transforming the sector and the future
advancements that can be expected. “I have been fortunate
enough to witness first-hand how technology has
transformed the telecom and security sectors over the
years.” He adds that in the domain of Video Surveillance,
one can expect the integration of AI and ML technologies to
provide better insights via technologies like Intelligent
Video Analytics. (IVA) Advancements in Network Video
Recorders will focus on improving storage capacity and
retrieval speeds. Cloud-based solutions that provide greater
flexibility and scalability for businesses of all sizes will also
become very popular.
Matrix’s competitive pricing strategy also helps it attract
customers right from the initial stage.
Stating the initial challenges after venturing into the field
viz-a-viz contemporary challenges, Mr. Jivani says that as
technology is ever-evolving, the product landscape keeps
changing at a challenging pace. “Crunching product life
cycles demand that our R&D delivers first-time-right
products and minimizes design iterations,” he says.
New and emerging competitors try to woo customers with
feature-rich, cost-effective products. A price-sensitive
customer will get lured and opt for such products without
understanding that the quality has been compromised.
The lack of awareness is also an impediment to Matrix’s
growth journey. Today, security products are sold as boxes
without customers knowing the overall business impact and
benefits. Mr. Jivani believes higher customer awareness and
better responsibility by manufacturers and system
integrators would improve customer satisfaction. According
to him, changes in the government buying platform also
impact their business to an extent. Aiming to grow at a
higher rate, a slow economy is also one of the challenges.
In addition, they have also seen significant advancements in
biometric access control devices. These devices have
become increasingly popular as they offer a more secure
and convenient way to manage access to buildings and
other secured areas. With the integration of technologies
like facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, Matrix can
now provide its customers with highly accurate and reliable
access control solutions that are fast and easy to use.
Additionally, they see advancements in anti-spoofing
technology. It will improve the ability of biometric systems
to detect and prevent fraudulent access attempts.
“Ultimately, I believe technology will continue to play a
critical role in transforming our sector. We at Matrix
Comsec are committed to staying at the forefront of these
advancements to provide our customers with the very best,”
he adds.
The Cutting-Edge Future Reach
In his advice to the aspirants willing to venture into their
field, Mr. Jivani says this era is the era of technology. Be
ready to adapt to changes that your customers want. Be

India's Most Valuable Companies Revamping the Future
prepared to adapt to the need of your customers. Your
research team should be highly efficient in doing it faster
than your competitors.
Furthermore, on envisioning scaling Matrix Comsec’s
scope and offerings in the future, Mr Jivani reveals that
Matrix's business is driven by mainly two prime movers:
cutting-edge products and market reach. With this simple
understanding, they focus on creating world-class products
in all four domains. They strongly emphasize research and
development, dedicating significant resources to both the
creation of new products and the improvement of existing
offerings. The Video Surveillance and Access Control
markets are experiencing significant growth. As a more
recent entrant to these markets, Matrix has ample
opportunity for expansion.
They are also building a channel network to expand market
reach and take Matrix to all targeted markets by investing in
marketing, sales, and support. Another area of focus for
them is expanding their global reach. While they currently
have a strong presence in many regions worldwide, they
believe there is still significant potential to grow into
different industry verticals around the globe.
Matrix is also planning to offer a range of products for
private labeling. The products and solutions from an OEM
are normally cost-effective. As the customer partners with
OEMs to manufacture goods in large numbers, both the
price and production time are significantly reduced. By
going for an OEM, one can be sure that the response will be
quicker.
“Lastly, we are working closely with customers to increase
their trust in our products and services,” he adds.
The Success Testament
According to Mr. Jivani, an unequivocal testament to
Matrix’s customer satisfaction is its huge global clientele.
So far, Matrix has earned the trust of more than one million
customers across diverse industry verticals, including BFSI,
Telecom, IT, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Healthcare,
Education, Public Transport, Defense, Government, and
many more.
Regarding its geographical disposition, the company serves
customers in the USA, Canada, Italy, England, Ireland,
Germany, Spain, Portugal, Eastern Europe, UAE, and KSA,
among other countries.

Innovations
The Next-Gen Green Company Fueling
a Sustainable Future
The greatest innovations transform the present to
solve humanity's most pressing problems while
maintaining the forward momentum of the way of
life. Alternative fuels, renewable energy, and sustainable
power sources are now significant steps toward the united
civilized world's zero-carbon goal.
Nonetheless, it will take a long for the general public to
switch to alternative fuels when traditional fuels such as
petrol, diesel, gasoline, and lubricants are readily available
everywhere, even in the remotest areas. Furthermore, while
these green options have their uses, people want to and
prefer to rely on tried and tested customary ways of using
readily available fuels in times of emergency, even though
they contribute to rising levels of pollution, global
warming, and climate crisis by emitting carbon dioxide
from their vehicles.
In this regard, one of the greatest innovations in the
automobile sector has come to our aid. The Most Innovative
Herbal Multifunctional Lubricants and Fuel Additive –
BIO MLEAGER, developed by Shreeniwas Innovations
Private Limited (SIPL), is a revolutionary discovery that
will allow 'Vehicles Emit O2 instead of Co2 - CO2 to O2.'
Yes, you read that correctly.
The BIO MILEAGER was tested at the International
Centre of Automotive Technology (ICAT), by the team
SIPL, led by Prakash Rane, CMD, Deepak Rane, MD,
and Bharat Maheshwari, ED. For this revolutionary
breakthrough, SIPL has been

that will allow 'Vehicles Emit

““
Deepak studied Ayurveda with the assistance of his father,
Shri Prakash Rane. He began working on Bio Additives and
Clean Bio-Fuel Production under Prakash's expert
guidance. Deepak spent three years developing the basic
formulation of a petrol and diesel additive that not only
claims to save up to 40% on fuel but also extends the life of
engines and other vehicle components connected to the
machine.
Deepak worked for another three years to get the precise
formulation and thousands of trials for the perfect formula,
which was ready to use in the market by 2009. SIPL was
founded in 2010 and has since obtained all of the necessary
certifications and patented the product, which thousands of
end users have used. As a result, the product's responsibility
is to be the one and only Herbal Multi-Fuel, Multi-
Functional Bio Additive. Deepak proclaims, "The firm
belief and clear vision to manifest a Clean Earth is no
longer a pipe dream.”
He did not end his mission there. He believed that R&D
should be a daily routine, and he brought more products to
the forefront to benefit from economic fuel conservation for
the nation's growth and to establish a global benchmark for
every country's economic fuel conservation. As a result of
stepping footprints in the "Green Footprint," SIPL marked a
larger scale globally.
The year 2010 began a new era for the company as it
expanded into auto and industrial lubricating oil and
greases. SIPL has since established a comprehensive dealer
and distribution network throughout India, successfully
selling additives, lubricants, and other products.
The following step was the development of waste plastic
into biofuel, which was tested and launched in 2013. This
revolutionary concept converts the threat of waste plastic
contributing to global warming into clean Bio Fuel that
both consumers and large-scale industries can use.
Decarbonizing the Environment
"Our Motto is to transform the earth into a better place
with a future with a cleaner and greener environment with
freshest air," Deepak says. That means eliminating carbon
footprints and the effects of pollution and completely
addressing the problem of global warming.
"We instantly save fuel and reduce emissions by more than
anyone's expectations," Bharat continues. "We have
completely eliminated sulfur from gasoline, which is a
worldwide miracle. In addition, we have reduced Sulfur
from Furnace Oil by more than 50%, which was
previously thought impossible." SIPL is on a mission to
address the following SDG Goals for the benefit of society.
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
SDG – 03 – Good Health and Well-Being.

SDG – 15 – Life On Land.
SDG – 17 – Partnership's for the Goals.
The Brilliance of Ever-Guiding Light
"Return to nature; it will provide you with numerous
opportunities," says Mr Prakash, who has always believed
that nature has played a significant role in his life. When a
person is connected to nature, GOD comes to help; thus, he
has dedicated his life to connecting with nature through
every work he does and plays a vital role in SIPL's efforts to
connect its products with nature. Being from an Ayurvedic

India's Most Valuable Companies Revamping the Future
background, his passion inspired the creation of this
wonderful product, and the company now stands on Mr
Prakash's enlightening values and principles.
'Don't rest; always research and develop something new,'
Deepak believes. He is a Mechanical Engineer who is
constantly working to develop and improve the current
product portfolio, which has helped SIPL become the
world's most sustainable non-competitive company. "We
proudly say that we don't have any competition with all our
range of products that are 100% 'Herbal Ayurveda Based
Products,' 'Made In India,' and for the World," Deepak
insists.
From Warm Regards to Green Rewards, Bharat, an
undergraduate from the small town of Valsad in Gujarat,
has a journey of 30+ years of rich experience working for
Group Companies and MNCs in the field of HR and
Administration as a working professional. He now owns his
own Merchant Exports Business. He has been with SIPL for
ten years. His expertise has helped the company reach new
heights of success.
will be lost? "We have to think about the implications in the
present scenario. We are responsible for the situation we
created in the first place. So, we must all decide and take
the path of the green revolution," he believes.
SIPL also sees this venture as a new way to create Green
Jobs worldwide. The SIPL team, which includes Bharat,
Deepak, and Mr Prakash, believes that the UN and WHO
will be pleased because all SDG solutions are contained in
this 'One Product.' It serves all by providing a simple and
easy way to address all climate change, health, and
employment issues the world is currently facing. "We
believe in 'Socio-Economic Growth' that is clean, green,
sustainable, and holistic," says Bharat.
SIPL invites everyone to work together to make our world a
better place to live by utilizing the unlimited resources
provided by God in an ethical manner that does not harm or
damage Mother Earth further. "By changing #CO2 to O2,
we can transform today's polluted AIR into the CLEANEST
AIR #SHUDH HAWA," Deepak adds.
As previously stated, Deepak developed a herbal fuel
additive yielding moderate results, but Bharat accepted the
challenge to demonstrate an 'Innovative Fuel Saving
Appropriate Usage Technique' in his car and bike. That was
a watershed moment for the product and SIPL. Bharat
discovered that 98.15% of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) was
reduced, and 80.84% of O2 (Oxygen) was increased. The
discovery was made during the Pandemic times in 2021.
This made the SIPL Team very happy; the rest is history
written in gold letters.
Living in cities is difficult today because air pollution is
everywhere, and waste is dispersed throughout urban
habitats, endangering our health and the environment. As a
result, Bharat travels nationally and internationally to find
the right entrepreneur to help him scale his business. With
the SIPL team constantly looking for new and innovative
products, Bharat found his ideal partner Startup interested
in biodegradable and eco-friendly products. SIPL is capable
of combating climate change and wishes to participate in
resolving issues with COP27, UN, WHO, and SDGs
because the company has products related to this issue.
Providing the Perfect Solution for Pollution
According to Bharat, perfecting solutions and conducting
R&D in renewable energy solutions will take years. Until
then, billions of dollars will be spent, and how many lives

India's Most Valuable Companies Revamping the Future
Your Perfect Partner in Digital Innovation
Innumerable ways, technology has revolutionized the
personal and professional realms of our modern
world’s reality. In the professional sphere, you can
connect with your customers via mobile apps, provide them
with services embedded with customized software solutions,
and build your websites and digital applications to
ensure your presence in the digital realm is felt forever.
However, there is a catch. To reap the numerous benefits of
digitalization in your professional enterprises, you require a
team of advising and implementing experts -
TECHREALE - one of the ideal partners in technology,
software, and digital innovation.
TechReale’s Partners Jalpa Kalariya, and Jigar Patel,
assure you that they are the partner of choice for many of
the world’s leading enterprises, SMEs, and Technology
challengers. Their professionals have more than a decade of
expertise and can provide you with a robust solution for all
of your business’s growing needs. Additionally, a skilled
team of professionals also offers after-sale support.
Powerful Digital Solutions
They have the right strategy to help you expand your global
footprint. Regardless of how far you’ve travelled, their
Global team will assist you in getting to your destination.
They can certainly assist you with maintaining and
modernizing your IT infrastructure and resolving numerous
infrastructure-related challenges.
To improve and innovate with the emerging tech trends,
TechReale hires and builds your own remote dedicated
development teams tailored to your specific needs. Jalpa
promises, “You get full-time professional developers who
work exclusively for you as a part of your company.” Jigar
insists, “We handle all the practical aspects related to
hiring and hosting your team at our premises, thus saving
you half a cost and much efforts.”
Headquartered in Gujarat, India, and established last year in
2022, TechReale expanded its global presence in just one
year by completing projects with outstanding quality and on
time.
The team TechReale helps businesses elevate their value
through its variety of services, like,
Mobile Application Development: Building apps and

adds Jalpa, an academic MBA with more than a decade of
experience in Business Development.
She led the organization’s core function while working with
reputed multinational companies in Manila, Philippines,
where she oversees the entire company’s foundation. Later,
she moved back to India and established TechReale.
On the other hand, Jigar is an academic MCA, and also has
extensive technology experience in developing software

and leading the complete team to deliver projects on time
and to the highest standard. Having great confidence, he
confidently trained the team. He also possesses strong
debugging skills.
Another leadership personality is Mr Jay Patel, an
academic MCA with vast experience in Technology and
innovations. He is Jigar’s best friend, and the two attended
the same school, which enhances the experience even more.
They both constantly use new ideas and cutting-edge
technologies.
Experience: Execution: Excellence
Sharing their USPs, they not only serve with their IT
solutions but also work for their clients and help them
accomplish their goals. “We constantly strive for the highest
quality and customization to distinguish them from the
competitors.” Further, TechReale helps upgrade clients’
engineering capacity, employs global development work
standards, utilizes cutting-edge technologies and tools, and
maintains transparency throughout the project. “We also
help you cut additional costs, increase the speed of delivery,
access expertise that is not available in-house, and solely
focus on clients’ business objectives,”
Every venture has hurdles, and TechReale was no exception.
The tiny place was the first obstacle since they started;
their infrastructure only had 300 square feet of space. A few
months later, they moved to 600 square feet and, a year
later, to 5000 square feet. That is the swiftest growth a
company could dream of. The second hurdle was building a
professional team. They started with a team of four, and
acquiring the right talent was the challenge. However, they
managed to get by and now have an influential group of
professionals.
up to date with the latest technological advances,”
Jay suggests. “Then and only then will they be able
to advance in their careers.”
On envisioning scaling TechReale’s scope and
offerings in the future, they reveal that engaging in a
wide range of industries, including finance, logistics,
healthcare, insurance, travel, and education, is their
foremost expansion plan. “We have a USP in the
fintech, logistics, and healthcare sectors, and it will
enable the company to expand,” believes Jigar.
Jalpa Kalariya
While in a concluding wish, Jalpa says, “We desire
to bring our innovations and ideas to a specific
domain and encourage skilled talent in expanding
their career
growth.”
The client relationship, of course, is the last but certainly
not the least of the challenge. Winning clients’ trust and
keeping them was a challenge that could only be overcome
by dedication to them. And this is where TechReale excels,
as shown by their enormous number of satisfied clients.
All Your IT Needs, Fulfilled
Being experienced leaders sharing their opinion on how
technology is transforming the tech sector and what
advancements can be expected in the future, they say that
today, technology is the backbone of the economy. Jalpa
says, “In our opinion, anything can become wireless,
fireless, and tireless, but humanity cannot exist without
technology.”
Making a bridge of technology warriors is therefore
essential for India as they can play a significant role in
advancing the nation where they will work on the project.
“As we can see today, the majority of talents are from India
in various countries at top positions, and that trend will
continue,” says Jigar.
Their advice to the aspirants willing to venture into the tech
field is that budding entrants should decide during the initial
academic phase since they need a solid foundation to do
programming and produce the output. “As a result, we
recommend anyone who wishes to work in the technology
sector to have strong analytical and logical skills and keep

Winning the Awards of
People’s Hearts with Five-Dimensions Healing
The human soul residing in the human body and the
human consciousness flowing through the human
mind creates a five-dimensional sensory core
underneath the foundation of human health.
The Indian perspective of human psychology stated in the
ancient Upanishad’s Panch Kosha Theory considers the
highly developed potential of human existence in the
physically, socially, and spiritually interconnected comprehensive
system of one’s holistic, sustainable, and wholesome
fitness as the basis of a perfectly healthy human
being.
The imbalance in these five Kosha’s of Physical Sheath
(Annamaya); Life Force Sheath (Pranamaya); Mental
Sheath (Manomaya); Wisdom Sheath (Vijananmaya); and
Bliss Body (Anandmaya) leads to all the psychological and
physiological issues faced by humans.
Healing these five dimensions from 2021 is Wellness Hub
4Me, founded by Shibashis Chakraborty, Founder and
Managing Director.
Fostering Holistic Human Growth
According to him, the five dimensions of the human being
comprise all those areas that contain the potentialities of
men and women. Developing these potentialities translates
into the personal, integral and complete growth of the
human being.
Describing the five Kosha’s Shibashis says,
*Annamaya Kosha (Physical Sheath): is one of the layers
of awareness that veil the Atman–or true self. It is the
sheath of the physical (body) self, the grossest of the five
koshas, named from the fact that it is nourished by food.
Living through this layer, humans identify themselves with
a mass of skin, flesh, fat, bones, and faeces, while the
human of discrimination knows oneself, the only reality
that there is, as distinct from the body. The physical body is
formed from the essence of food. Birth and death are the
attributes of the Annamaya Kosha.
*Pranamaya Kosha (Life Force Sheath): is the second
sheath of the yogic philosophy defining the life force
flowing in the human body. Pranamaya means composed of
prana, the vital principle, the force that vitalizes and holds
together the body and the mind. It pervades the whole
organism. It's one physical manifestation is the breath. As
long as this vital principle exists in the organisms, life
continues. Coupled with the five organs of action, it forms
the vital sheath. In the Vivekachudamani, it is a modification
of vayu or air. It enters into and comes out of the body.
*Manomaya (Mental Sheath): is the mind residing in the
brain, making the third Kosha or mental sheath developing
throughout a human’s time on earth. Manomaya means
composed of manas or mind. The mind, along with the five
sensory organs, constitutes the manomaya kosha. The
manomaya kosha, or "mind-sheath," is said more truly to
approximate personhood than annamaya kosha and
pranamaya kosha. It is the cause of diversity, of ‘I’ and
mine. Adi Shankara likens it to clouds brought in by the
wind and again driven away by the same agency. Similarly,
man's bondage is caused by the mind, and liberation is
caused by that alone.
*Vijananmaya (Wisdom Sheath): The continuous inflow
of knowledge a human being gained and creates one’s
unique perspective about the world and the self is the fourth
Kosha called the wisdom sheath. Vijñānamaya means
composed of vijñāna, or intellect, the faculty which
discriminates, determines or wills. Chattampi Swamikal
defines vijñānamaya as the combination of intellect and the
five sense organs. It is the sheath composed of more
intellection associated with the organs of perception.
Sankara holds that the buddhi, with its modifications and

recruiting and training skilled professional therapists is the
biggest challenge in this industry and retaining them is
much tougher. He reveals they have mastered that art by
sourcing therapists by referral source and retaining them by
giving them the best pay package in the industry and a
stress-free working environment.
Avoiding Human Errors with Technology
the organs of knowledge, forms the cause of man's transmigration.
This knowledge sheath, which seems to be
followed by a reflection of the power of the cit, is a
modification of prakrti. It is endowed with the function of
knowledge and identifies itself with the body, organs etc.
*Anandmaya (Bliss Body) is the fifth and the final layer or
Kosha that decides the eternal bliss erupting through one’s
cosmic reality of consciousness. Anandamaya means
composed of ananda or bliss. It is the subtlest of the five
koshas. In the Upanishads, the sheath is also known as the
causal body. In a deep sleep, when the mind and senses
cease functioning, it still stands between the finite world
and the self. Anandamaya, or that which is composed of
supreme bliss, is regarded as the innermost of all. The bliss
sheath normally has its fullest play during deep sleep: while
in the dreaming and wakeful states, it has only a partial
manifestation. The blissful sheath (anandamaya kosha) is a
reflection of the Atman, which is truth, beauty, and bliss
absolute.
