Indian SMEs – Growing global aspiration

Bizxchange, in association with Wealthtree Partners organized a seminar on ‘Internationalizing Indian SMEs’ on January 19. The focus of the seminar was on understanding the European market and uniqueness of the different European countries. More than 40 representatives of SMEs from different sectors including jewellery, metals and manufacturing, textiles, IT, green technologies, etc, attended this insightful discussion forum.

The first session started with S Venkataraman, promoter of Wealthtree Partners, a cross border advisory firm, talk extensively about the possibilities as well as the challenges of international trade for SMEs. He explained the different modes of doing international trade, which includes, sub contracting, distribution arrangements, technology transfers, overseas acquisitions, among others. “SMEs contribute for 43% of industrial output, 40% of Indian exports and provides employment to approximately 42 million people, this clearly means that SMEs are a significant sector in the Indian scenario,” stated Mr Venkataraman.

He also helped understand how several Indian SMEs were aiming high internationally by showcasing their success stories through case studies. He added, “There are opportunities in the African and Latin American countries that are yet to be tapped.

The second session was conducted by Johan Van Hamme, MD of Clear Vantage, a Belgian company. He dedicated his presentation primarily in understanding the varied cultural differences that exist in the countries of Europe. “Cultural influences, company infrastructure, work interactions all affect the overall process of working with European countries. For example, being late for a meeting for even 5 minutes is not acceptable in Germany, but in France, with sufficient reasons to back it up, you can be late for maximum 15 minutes. Again, in Netherlands, Poland or Finland, people are very straightforward, be prepared or you might get a rude shock,” explained Mr Van Hamme. He also mentioned some of the sectors that have good business prospects for Indian SMEs in the European markets – automotive, e-commerce and green energy among others.

Both speakers answered several queries and got a good response from the attendees. Upasana Jani and Rashmi Jagasia of Zycus Infotech, said, “It was an excellent session especially because we got to know so much about the different cultural issues. It will help our work immensely”

During the recent past, several post offices have witnessed a close down in small towns.

Joint venture potential

Joint Venture Potential

Sometimes, we need to look at the full potential of a Joint Venture in order to get really excited about it. As an example, I recently talked on the telephone with a gentleman in southern California about the potential amount of people in the world that could benefit from leaning how to broker Joint Ventures and achieve financial freedom. He got very excited.

First we looked at WHO could benefit. We agreed that age, background, education, geographic location and financial situation were not a factor. As long as a person was motivated, reasonably intelligent and had the ability to communicate, as well as learn the basic principles of Joint Ventures, they could make real money, soon, with no cost or risk.

Then we looked at WHY someone would want to use Joint Ventures. Anyone who needs money, from employees who want to supplement their income to scholars, school leavers, entrepreneurs and business owners (not necessarily the same thing) who want top boost sales and profits, seniors, college graduates, immigrants… ANYONE who needs more money without an investment or risk and who didn’t want to wait a long time to get the money!

Also, when we know that, statistically, 87% of new businesses will fail, many people are afraid of risking their savings, time and reputation in some “Business Opportunity”. Joint Ventures is a great alternative. In fact, in my opinion, it is the only alternative.

We also looked at the other reasons why Joint Ventures would appeal to people. By earning more money and creating a regular flow of passive income, they could regain their dignity and self respect, security and control, privacy and quality of life. They could look after their family, enjoy holidays and educate their children and themselves. Visit a few seniors homes and talk with anyone who has financial problems and I know you’ll agree with me.

All of a sudden, this fellow in California got very excited at this massive potential. He asked me a simple question: “If I can get you onto radio stations and in front of people, will you pay me commissions on all resulting business?” Of course I will! Then he asked, “Can you create products to fit different situations and industries?” Naturally, I can.

When we see huge potential and we have a viable, proven tool to take advantage of that potential, we get excited, then we take action, then we get rich. Because Zig Ziglar said, “You can get anything you want out of life, if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want.”
