How to sustain a business during the Covid-19 Pandemic?

August 19, 2020Business, Content Marketing, Experiences, Products, Social Media Marketing, Startup 0

‘The baseline forecast envisions a 5.2 percent contraction in global GDP in 2020, using market exchange rate weights—the deepest global recession in 6 decades.’

‘The pandemic is expected to plunge most countries into recession in 2020, with per capita income contracting in the largest fraction of countries globally since 1870.’

The above excerpts are from a report on The World Bank’s website. The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the world economy hard. Around the world startups, small-medium scale businesses as well as big businesses are shutting down and crumbling under the pressure of the global pandemic. In plain words, for many businesses the challenge for now is survival rather than growth.

A question arises here: How to sustain a business during the Covid-19 pandemic?

Sustenance and survival depends upon a number of things. Because of this situation due to Covid-19, you will have to get a number of things absolutely right. The goal right now should be to do enough to exist for now but work hard on branding in order to build a catapult launch pad for your growth and development in the future.

Then again, how to sustain a business? Here I have listed out some things that I think one should be doing during the pandemic to help sustain now and further grow a business in the future:

Take your Business Online

We have heard in numerous places, ”Take your business online, it will yield great benefits!” So, does integrating or even switching to an online marketplace actually help grow and sustain your business? Definitely YES! We are currently hit by a worldwide pandemic and no one knows when or if things will get back to normal. People are confined to their homes most of the times. Almost everyone is online most of the times. In this situation when direct dealings and shop visiting is not possible, an online store will benefit you very much. From clothes to cakes, electrical supplies to websites you can sell anything online and it will definitely help you sustain and bolster your business during the pandemic.

Focus on Branding

During hard times, only those who are tough come out swinging! This is your opportunity to focus on your branding and reach. Conduct giveaways if possible, engage people with your content, do things that will make the people remember your brand, try and be unique in your approach. This might not seem very important right now, but in the long run it will help you heaps. So, focus on your branding during these times and reap the benefits later on!

Create Engagements

The most vital part of online businesses is creating proper engagements. You need people to interact with the things you post and share. To accomplish this, make sure you post relevant and trending content so that people get stimulated by your posts. Be quick to catch trends!

Advertise Online

The days when people used to stay in front of their TV screens when free are long behind us. The internet is the new global platform where people pass their time. We should definitely use this to our advantage. Advertise your product and services online via social media platforms, search engines etc. The more people see your brand, the better for your sales and branding purpose. Is it costly? Not at all! The cost of online advertising is meagre in comparison to print and other forms of advertising. Along with that you get to target the audience according to their age, interest, demographics and other parameters as such which is not possible with traditional approach to advertisements. This is how to sustain a business.

Perseverance is key!

Last but not the least, one must show perseverance in their work. As mentioned above, economies are crumbling all around the world. It is definitely tough to sustain and grow your business during these touch times. Regardless of the present results and sales, you must continue your hard work and dedication so that when finally all this mess clears, you will have a great launch pad to continue your business.

How to sustain a business is a challenge and dealing with setbacks is a major part of running a business. This is a setback. How you come out of this all depends on you! Good Luck!

My Team is still fighting COVID-19, harder everyday!

April 21, 2020Business, Disaster & Emergency Response, Impact, Journal, Startup, Technology 0

Every time there was a disaster, we stood up with whatever we had. Back in August 2008, we just had a hashtag that went effectively viral and now we have a Complete Disaster Response System that has been deployed to 60+ Local Governments in Nepal.

I’ll start with some Team Chat:

One night, around 2:30AM, I ask ‘still not slept Shahel?’ He says, no sir I think I have found the logic now. Then I poke Sushant and he says ‘such an interesting project after so long dai, I’m liking the switch and I don’t feel like sleeping.’

Shristi and Sanjay, our Mobile Masters have been mass producing Mobile Applications. This might sound woo??
They lead the team of 7. Once assigned, its just a few moments I talk to them for collaboration. As of today while I write this up, they’re producing 10-12 Mobile Applications a day!

If you are wondering what we did this time:

We made and updated Authentic COVID-19 modules to 15 Government Applications,
We built a Nepali Language Covid19 Bot – Botu,
We developed a full fledged Backend Application System with Live Tracking, Quarantine/Isolation Management, Communication Automation and Contact Tracing,
We handed over the Integrated Systems to 61+ Local Governments (as of April 18, 2020), Free!
We’re developing more..

A Government should have done all these..?

As a state, we are yet away from some development. It’s our duty to give, as much it is our duty to earn money via profession. As per SmartPalika‘s vision we Researched, Developed and Handed over the System for Free to 61+ Municipalities, Metropolitan Cities, etc. We’re glad to have committed the whole month of lockdown into giving for the nation.

Bibash leads the Offline Outreach and Campaigns. He gets 100+ calls a day and those all to be bridged to respective departments. If that was not a motivation, that’d certainly be a another disaster. Akshun leads Digital Outreach along with his team. His part of dedication keeps us all motivated even when its time to sleep :p

I’ll introduce you to one fine guy Nischal. Every-other in the team pokes him 10s-20s of times a day as he leads the Creatives. I once joked, you’ve become more demanding than me, Cheers!

Pravin, the finest in terms of supporting me with my Application/Server related researches. He’s an aspiring Cloud Architect and the one who gets to hold a lot of my pressure everyday. Sometimes I feel bad for him and then I get a hint of his future, so I carry on, haha.

Rajananda Jee looks after our relationship with clients. These days, I am not very frequent to communicate with him as both of his phones throw engaged tones almost every-time I call him. He’s become a busy man communicating our efforts on the market.

Cheers to Everyone!

How did it start? What made us so? Is disaster our domain?

It was around 2007, I personally understood the value of Volunteering. I used to be in a closed circle, did not like to open up unless there was a challenge. Amazingly, when I started volunteering, my motorbike started standing calm in red light signal. Evening at home I’d collect a bunch of wrappers from my pockets, those could land on street and so on.

I realized that I was being responsible. Post that, I might have enforced my teams into it, at times when I felt the need. Volunteering is for both – Giving and Enhancing your own Quality.

Later on be it #NepalEarthQuake #TeraiFlood #KerelaFlood #HurricaneIrma #HurricaneMaria and so on.. we had our tools delivered and results those would sooth you from inside. As I realize today, little things we did has brought us to the position where we can confidently lead #DisasterResponse.

Namaste! Thank You for reading. Pass me your comments below on how we can be more effective. Connect with me on LinkedIn.

Support Project Rakshya.

E-commerce in Nepal

E-commerce in Nepal: Past, Present and Future

E-commerce in Nepal has started to grow and impact lives positively. Hungry and lazy? Food will be delivered at your doorsteps from your favorite eateries- choose the food, the restaurant and your method of payment, give them your location for delivery and BOOM food arrives where you want it! Gone are the days when you had to drunk drive to go get more booze while having a night out with your mates- service providers are ready to deliver the liquor of your choice at your doorsteps whenever you want it! These are just examples of how the evolution of online businesses have impacted the purchasing trends and scenarios in Nepal. Our country is currently taking baby steps towards a technical revolution and e-commerce in Nepal looks like a very promising and happening prospect.

WHAT IS eCOMMERCE?

To understand more about e-commerce in Nepal, first one must know the basic concept of e-commerce. E-commerce (electronic commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and services, or the transmitting of funds or data, over an electronic network, primarily the internet. These business transactions occur either as business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer or consumer-to-business. So basically, e-commerce means buying or selling anything over the internet. The concept is that you browse for the product of your choice online, buy what you like and it gets delivered to you. It saves you the effort, time and fuel cost. How hectic is shopping when you have to go from shop to shop looking for merchandise? All this is solved by the introduction of e-commerce.

E-commerce in Nepal is a relatively budding prospect. About a decade ago, Send Gifts to Nepal was setup with the help of which people residing abroad sent gifts to their loved ones in Nepal. Although this wasn’t exactly Nepal based, it gave people a sneak peak of what buying things online looked like. Later on, platforms like Muncha.com, Bhatbhatenionline, Thamel.com, Giftmandu et cetera were introduced but could not get their expected popularity because back then people in Nepal were just getting familiar with the Internet and it’s many wonders. With the gradual increase in the number of internet users with time, right now, e-commerce in Nepal is flourishing and gaining huge momentum. People are loving this idea of shopping with the help of their devices- not only clothes but everything from furniture to food, liquor to electronic appliances.

With more people getting access to the internet, the future of e-commerce in Nepal looks even more promising. Because of that, even traditionally run businesses are looking to hire personnel to make their business e-commerce friendly as well. The market is evolving rapidly and those who do not keep up with it are bound to be swept off their feet. The internet is what’s trending right now and it will be the case for the foreseeable future. There may soon come a time when even a small Nepali household will buy their rice, lentils or toothpaste with the help of e-commerce. That is the potential right there. How it will progress depends on how well the businesses can integrate this into the lives of their customers. So far, so good!

Smart Project Management App- Cooperate with colleagues / Connect with Clients

May 18, 2020Business, Products, Technology 0

One who Manages well results well.

Are you a business organization finding it difficult to manage your heavy list of projects? Or connect to clients because you have to send updates manually??

Well, what if there was a quick fix?? Auspiciously, there actually is one and it is this cool app “Cellapp Innovations- Clients/Project Management” that provides both (PM) Project Management and Customer Relationship Management(CRM) functionalities.

Before moving on to the app let’s know about what Project Management and Customer Relationship Management really is. PM is the habit of planning, executing and controlling the work of a team working on projects to achieve certain goals in a certain time. We use a PM system for risk management, quality control, orderly process of tasks and timely delivery of projects. Moving on to CRM, it is a process of managing company’s interaction with the potential and current customers. A CRM system is not only used to deal with the existing customers but is also useful in acquiring new customers.

However, both of these processes are not as simple as they seem. But there is always some move to innovate to make things simple and give, isn’t it?? SO it was last month when me and my colleagues were randomly getting on this topic about PM and CRM and we came up with an idea of this cool app called “Cellapp Innovations- Clients/Project Management”. After all the hard work it was a success and we are now using this app inside Cellapp. This app assists to both business and clients. With this app now we can:

Collaborate, Communicate and share among work team members,
Create projects and assign tasks to desired members,
Keep track of the tasks done and time taken by each member to complete the task,
Set and get project progress status in real time,
Track sales and billings of projects,
Connect with our clients,
Involve clients in projects and send them regular work updates,
Manage our contracts,
Generate and Manage Leads for our business,
Maintain a healthy Knowledge Base,
Share documents and ideas within the organization.

To sum up, this app is a complete package that your organization needs ASAP to operate efficiently and maintain customer royalty. We are using this Project Management and Customer Relationship Management App since a month. Good thing that it has really helped us manage our tasks, cooperate with our clients and deliver projects on time. With our projects now getting delivered on time, there also are no more problems of customer dissatisfaction. This is because our clients are involved and regularly notified about the project status where they can also send their feedback and required changes.

Therefore, “Cellapp Innovations- Clients/Project Management” is a must needed tool specially in context of Nepal where projects are rarely delivered on time. This is a kind of app that every organization would love to have if they are to maintain their business reputation and make happy customers because as they say ” Happy Customers are the best source of advertisement”.

At Cellapp we are using the Project Management and Customer Relationship Management app for better results and timely delivery of Projects. For app info and Inquiry: Click Here
