The agenda of Bhartipay is to provide all the facilities that are available under MSME to businessmen and women who have managed to start their venture. The MSME today occupies an important role in directing the development process for the growth and prosperity of the north-eastern region. However, the sector has been facing a tough fight. The state governments of the region depend heavily on central assistance and thus efforts to create economic and physical infrastructure by the states themselves are inadequate. Surface transportation and communication infrastructure is weak and hampers the movements of raw materials and finished goods among the states and outside the region.

Bhartipay sees MSMEs as a viable target segment compared to large corporate firms, says Miss Sakshi Chawla, CEO of the former. They see MSMEs enterprises offer adequate returns to the country and financial institutions. They need strong infrastructure and adequate market linkages. These are the key factors that have natural properties for the growth of the sector. With Bhartipay, the presence of such key factors, the full potential of the NE region could be tapped.

When we talk about digital payment in India, we cannot forget that our focus should be North East India. MSME is getting along with the online transactions, thanks to the fintech companies. At present, Bhartipay for the SMEs in the region is playing an important role as well as remain competitive in globalization keeping in view the challenges confronting the MSMEs in the region; Bhartipay has turned its focus towards all businesses which have tremendous growth potential.

Bhartipay is one of the most recognized payment solution providers in India. Bhartipay today occupies an important role in directing the development process for growth and prosperity up to the full potential of the North-eastern region. We are working with policymakers and planners to formulate a comprehensive strategy for the speedy development of the sector and deepen the engagement with the MSME and expand productivity. Despite various welfare schemes being run by the Ministry of MSME, it has been found that there is a lack of awareness of the schemes at the grass-root level and this has prevented the benefits from reaching the small entrepreneur. Our objective is to alleviate poverty and unemployment by supporting all business enterprises. Bhartipay ensures people can benefit more from technology in North East India. By offering innovative and easy-to-use payment accepting solutions Bhartipay had its fair share of role to get businesses involved with online payments. This is a leader in securing e-commerce and proximity payments.

Bhartipay follows the government’s guidelines for online transactions and as a digital payment provider helps its bank clients improve the way they engage with their clients digitally: time management, invoicing and billing, and general CRM. We believe that Digitalization is here to stay, and SMEs are pushing even harder because they see the opportunity in it. Bhartipay has the vision to simplify administrative tasks and accelerate the digital transformation of SMEs for a better user experience and adoption.

While many SMEs were already undergoing a digital transformation, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the pace. COVID-19 pandemic has brought out several innovations by the enterprises of these regions unlocking new opportunities for banks, fintech, and SMEs alike. With the youth in the region starting to take more risks, we believe that the North East today holds huge potential to come up with good start-ups. With Bhartipay, they can formulate a business continuity and recovery plan in case of similar disruptions happening in the future, and organizations like the UNDP and India Exim Bank along with Bhartipay are in the right position to assist MSMEs in their future endeavours, based on their existing activities in the region.CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE WEBSITE AND EXPLORE MORE

With almost two decades of experience as an interior designer, Meenu Agarwal of MADS Creations delves into the oft-ignored importance of resourceful space-utilization when it comes to our residence: “We all covet a luxurious home that comes with a sense of privilege and comfort. Well-planned spaces that flow freely amplify this sense of luxury”.

 When it comes to home décor, people underestimate the effect of the smartly designed space utilization on their property. Mismanagement of space leads to wastage of resources and constrains one’s abode from reaching its full potential.

For people looking to enhance their homes or offices with a remodeling of their space, Meenu Agarwal MADS Creations, offers her insight and advice as a veteran professional: “Disregard for functionality is not a sustainable thought. It might give you happiness for a time or two but gradually – ill-functioning space is a pain to the body and eventually to the mind.”

She asserts the significance of custom furniture as the backbone of personalized solutions to space problems: “We want best and exclusive when it comes to property and the same thing should go for furniture as well. Luxury furniture is all about comfort and elegance which is exclusive and as per your taste”. In this manner, custom furniture allows you to tailor your rooms as per your desires and needs, effusing an exclusive touch of your personality.

While it is not possible to expand one’s property in any direction no matter how much one wishes, Meenu Agarwal suggests making use of the outside and employing it within interior design. She advises to let the sunshine in through good-sized windows which increases your space without alterations to your property.

In her words, “natural light is always better than artificial light. It is like bringing a little bit of nature into your room and when you are in touch with nature you feel relaxed, as your serotonin levels rise.”

The conversation of space utilization cannot overlook the subject of bedrooms – the den of our comfort and relaxation. It is here that all our desires for coziness, luxury, and leisure combine within 4 walls. To make the best use of that area serves as the prime objective for Meenu Agarwal in her role as Principal Designer of MADS Creations.

Her recommendation regarding bedrooms is to deal with the issue of space constraint: “Pay attention to the bed and other furniture. Create a calming space with pastel shades in diverse textures. Add bedside lamps or wall sconces, chandeliers, and paintings to bring in color and vibrancy.”

Another important lesson from her is to “keep the furniture minimum and the furnishings maximum”.  The corner designs serve as the least disruptive places which project a feeling of luxury and warmth.

She endorses people to “choose simple, comfortable, stylish, modern furniture. Choose your personal favorite as it breeds more comfort. Do not clutter it with more furniture, as it might hinder your movement, and ensure that the furnishings are modern in style so as to match your luxurious interiors.”

After spending almost two decades in home décor, Meenu Agarwal manages her interior design firm in Gurgaon MADS Creations. She captures the quintessence of her philosophy in bringing out the best for your property in one sentence: “Enhance your space with high-end features, exclusive design elements, and resourceful style to make it special, exclusive, and luxurious in your eyes.”

Meet Tanya Mittal, a small-town girl who has made India proud and was applauded by Pranav Mukherjee for her exceptional achievements on an International Level. With over 4,00,000 followers on Instagram and a company that generates seven-figure Income, this 25 yr old is an inspiration for many.

A cliché story of a girl starts with studying, attaining a recognized degree to garner her family’s good reputation, followed by capturing the best job opportunities and leaving the house with her beloved husband. However, the only element it lacks is “Meaning”.

She says, “I was on the same track a few years back. My journey from being an ordinary girl to an extraordinary business and style icon undoubtedly justifies the phrase, “Human life is a roller-coaster ride”.”

Her list of accomplishments starts from owning a 2,00,000 + customer homegrown business to winning a beauty pageant and giving Ted talks and motivational speeches. She is the very definition of a “Beauty with Brain”, who has been phased by adversities and always has been the strongest pillar of strength.

She adds, “There were numerous ups and downs on my journey. It all started with my ostensibly disastrous decision to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture at Chandigarh University. I was a victim of body shaming, bullying, and depression, so I packed my belongings and left the dull abode. My parents were even more upset about my future challenges when I returned home. .”

“After a brainstorming session, I wrote down a list of things I have as capital for my business. With fewer resources, I carved my first design of a gift that a woman ordered. However, this happiness was temporary as she refused to accept and pay me for it. My heart sank in despair. The next day, I woke up with a new energy level with a firm decision to never give up no matter what. I started planning several ways to gain more orders and serve a good number of clients.”

This young woman started her beautiful handicraft business in her late teens, with a mere investment of Rs. 500/-. It now has over 4 lakh followers and the prestigious title of “Youngest Woman Achiever by Shashi Tharoor”. She has given three TEDx speeches all over the country already. She has written a book, “Turning Dreams into Reality”, in 2020. Her goal is to inspire youngsters never to give up nor question their self-worth.

Her journey:

“There was still a massive void in my life. So I started discovering ways to improve myself, and I decided to go for a Pageant. The moment I entered the workshop, they mocked, “You are fat”. It pinched me and tore my heart. So I went back, trained myself and lost 12 kgs in a couple of weeks. Walking my way to the glory of Miss India Tourism Universe, I represented India for the pageant contest. I made our nation proud by winning the Crown and bringing it to India for the first time.

I worked hard with passion and attained the title of Miss Asia. The journey of becoming Miss Asia 2018 was unique as it had minute and profound experiences. One such elating moment was the preliminary midnight contest where all the representatives were asked to be present for the judgment. All the contestants wore eccentric outfits and rigid makeup. However, I walked on the ramp with confidence, even in my nightsuit and plaits. To everyone’s awe, I scored cent per cent in that contest, being the first one ever to do so. The reason behind this achievement was self-love and confidence.

The constant thing through this changing period was my firm belief in myself and the almighty. As a result, I won many battles and broke the norms of society. I believe that clinging to your dreams may sometimes hurt you and requires sacrifices, but it promises goodness to you in return for eternity.”

She feels that the hardships she faced as a kid pushed her to enroll in fashion college. She is also the Director of Amritesh Infraventures Pvt. Ltd and a philanthropist who always aims to give back to society. She is the director of Bliss Foundation, an organization that works to uplift society. She is also a foster mother of two kids whose entire educational needs are cared for by her. She has adopted a small village named Tikli near Gwalior, where she takes care that sanitary napkins to reach each woman. She also feels strongly feel for animals and is associated with Peta and several NGOs in Delhi.

Her Mantra is: “No one in the world is like you & that is your SuperPower.”
