GROWTH OF BUSINESSES

INTRODUCTION:
With their brilliant minds, numerous people have changed this culture greatly over the
decades. These modifications encouraged young people to aspire bigger dreams in addition to
aiding in the nation's development. Let's examine a few sources of inspiration.

INSPIRING COMPANIES:

1. PEPUL:
Pepul, a startup with headquarters in Chennai, wants to be the global social
networking platform of the future. It asks users to create an account with their true identity
with real-time profile photographs in order to prevent anonymous users and offensive
content. Users can interact and connect here according to their individual interests.

Suresh an engineer based out of Trichy, a tier 3 city in India quit his IT job in his late 20s or
early 30s to create a software company. With lots of struggle, he transformed his start-up to a
successful one, by breaking every business standards he could like employing new hires
regardless of their experience, education, or communication skills. He even went so far as to
hire them without even perusing their resume. All he does is hire, coach, and talk his way into
becoming a developer. Whoever answers the door wins the position. That was the situation.
An app this size would require engineers with sufficient experience from prestigious
universities and cities. As I previously stated, little town brains created the elite platform
Pepul. Whom the corporation barely thinks to employ. They took a squad of people who
weren't very strong and made them stronger. He carried out the identical action in his prior
business endeavour and is carrying it out again today. And when his staff decides to become
entrepreneurs, he also anticipates the same behaviour from them.

DISTINCT FEATURES:

 USER PRIVACY: With India's first free blue tick verification method, Pepul places a
high priority on user privacy. It also lacks screenshots and features a secure chat
system.

 INTERFACE THAT IS EASY TO USE: Pepul offers a smooth watching experience,

simple navigation, and an ad-free interface.

 BRIEF CONTENT: Pepul offers a vast library of brief movies covering a wide range
of subjects, such as humor, sports, and music.

 CHATTING: The chat screen on Pepul automatically displays contacts that have been
saved. Requests contain messages sent by non-friends.

 SECURITY: Pepul is a good choice for all age groups because it prohibits offensive
and abusive content.

 CONNECTION WITH PEOPLE: Pepul enables users to make connections with

people who have similar hobbies, talents, and interests.

VICTORY OF PEPUL:
With its updated appearance and validated user-based culture, the app appears more
potential as thousands of new users sign up. Additionally, 177 countries have downloaded the
Pepul beta app, but the platform's primary goal is to attract consumers from India.
 2. HALDIRAMS:

In India, Haldiram's is a well-known brand that sells a wide range of goods,

including potato chips, traditional sweets, namkeens, and, more recently, fully frozen Indian
dinners. All throughout the nation, its branded products are offered for sale in stores,
including its own. The business is more than 60 years old. The origins of the brand may be
traced to 1937 in the Rajasthani town of Bikaner, where Gangabisanji Agarwal, better known
as Haldiram Agarwal, operated a tiny snack shop called Haldiram's.The company started
growing and opened its first store in Delhi in 1982. The business began exporting to the
United States ten years later.

Haldiram first had the idea to start this business when he was just 11 years old in 1919. In his
early years, he had begun working at his father's bhujia shop. While doing odd jobs there in
the past, Haldiram was always trying to learn how to prepare bhujia. Bhujia was in demand at
the time. Thus, the majority of the market's stores once carried it. The bhujia from each
vendor was of the same caliber and flavor. That meant that the only competition was for
money. The only individual who wasn't happy with the business or the bhujia's flavor
waHaldiram. His goal was to create a bhujia that would stand out from the competition. In
order to accomplish this, he began making bhujia using various components. He made a
unique form of bhujia that the people of Bikaner had never tasted, despite numerous fruitless
tries.
The following three adjustments were made by Haldiram, and they ultimately altered the
course of their company:
 He began using moth beans rather than gram flour when preparing bhujia. It became
crispier and had a different flavor.
 Haldiram set his price for bhujia at 5 paisa per kg, whereas every other merchant was
charging 2 paisa per kg. Customers now saw his bhujia as a high-end item as a result.
 He changed the name of his bhujia to Dongar Sev, the king of Bikaner. Despite
having no connection to one another, the name became a brand ambassador, leading
consumers to assume the product was high-end.

THE CAUSE OF THE YEARS-LONG SUCCESS:

 PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION: Bhujia Namkeen was Haldiram's first offering.
With time, they added snacks, biscuits, papads, chocolates, and even restaurant
locations in important Indian cities to their menu. Because Haldiram's recipes are
family-guarded, the essence of their products has remained consistent despite regional
changes in operations.
 MARKETING EXCELLENCE: Packaging was one of the first things that Haldiram's
prioritized. Their brand recognition increased with the use of modern packaging
techniques including standee pouch packing and zip pouch bags. Their market
dominance was further cemented by their smart opening of outlets around India and
their foray into e-commerce. They were able to surpass well-known companies like
McDonald's and Domino's in terms of revenue because to this creative strategy.
 OBSTACLES AND RESILIENCE: There were challenges along the way to success.
Similar to the Maggi controversy, Haldiram's goods were temporarily prohibited in
2015. But quick decisions and calculated alliances, such as their connection with
Indian Railways, helped them regain market share.

VICTORY OF HALDIRAMS:

Haldiram's goods are currently sold in more than 50 countries worldwide and take up
"considerable shelf space" at stores like Tesco, Somerfield, Spinneys, and Carrefour.
Haldiram's operates eateries throughout India that specialize in Indian street food. Of its
thirty namkeen variations, "Aloo Bhujia," a spicy version of potato noodles made with gram
flour and spices from Bikaner, the origin of Haldiram's, is arguably the most well-liked.

name for itself on the international scene and grown to become one of the biggest and most
powerful entities on YouTube. T-Series has completely changed the music and entertainment
landscape with billions of views and millions of subscribers—not just in India, but all across
the world.

under the direction of Gulshan Kumar. Kumar was a forward-thinking businessman who saw
the potential in the emerging Indian music scene. Though it was popular at the time, he began
by selling unlicensed Bollywood tunes, but he had bigger goals in mind.

Gulshan Kumar made the decision to become legal in the late 1980s and started
obtaining the rights to well-known Bollywood songs. This change was a turning point in the
history of the business. T-Series began making and selling music cassettes in a lawful
manner, and their dedication to generating high-caliber audio and video content immediately
distinguished them from the competitors.

products, the company has branched out into other entertainment mediums, including the
creation and distribution of movies, trailers, and devotional material.

T-Series has also worked with a variety of musicians, both domestically and abroad, to
produce music videos that have a broad appeal. T-Series has drawn viewers from all around
the world by capitalizing on the appeal of Bollywood music and fusing aspects of Indian
culture into its videos.
