MOBILE APPLICATIONS AS THE CURRENT CATALYST OF BUSINESSES

The impact of mobile applications on people’s daily lives has grown exponentially within this decade. There’s not a lot of things to say about it because its emergence and improvement is evident. While the majority of users worldwide are taking advantage of mobile applications because of social media platforms and online shopping, there’s still a fair chunk of that massive user base that other sectors can grab. And sole proprietor businesses, in particular, took a shot and leveraged mobile applications. In this article, we will focus most on the clear benefits that mobile applications bring to any size of businesses and enterprises. Bigger boost in reach Both the Android OS and iOS have their application marketplace, where users can download any types of applications they want with or without a fee. Most businesses offer free access to users to increase their reach and accessibility. UberEats, for example, is a food delivery service that requires a specific amount of reach to become functional. McDonald’s, on the other hand, is a restaurant that mostly uses its application to advertise their menu, while still offering customers the option to deliver food at the doorsteps of their customers. Both of these make more profit, the more customers they serve, the more mobile applications are the perfect platform for them to achieve that goal. Accessibility and management One thing that most people adore from mobile applications is their accessibility. Indeed, it is an invention that has allowed people to become more organized than ever before. The mClinic application is an excellent example of the management side. It helps doctors and other medical professionals to organize their clinics and hospitals within just a couple of taps. This impact can be felt on the client’s end as well. Increased brand recognition Another beauty of having an application for a business despite it being costly to develop is slight to a high increase in brand recognition. Most businesses push this endeavor to stand out from the crowd and be ahead of their competitors. Tropical Roofing Products, for instance, saw this opportunity to grow because of the lack of roofing contractors and repairers on the app market. Many sole proprietor businesses can take advantage of this, including computer repair services, landscaping providers, accountants for hire, etc. Along with technology, businesses have also evolved and are now using a different approach to advertising, and generally reaching more people. Mobile applications have done such a great job combining all of these and benefiting both the businesses and their clients, as well. Contact us today to create your own mobile application.

Manju Mastakar: An Extensive Investment Solution Provider For Wealth-Creation

After working as a stock advisor in a brokerage firm in the economic hub city of Mumbai, Manju moved to Bangalore to dive in as a wealth manager. Investing and gaining experience for more than 20 years in the investment industry, the sub-prime crisis of 2008 left her no choice but to quit the corporate job. The event triggered her to start a venture, Armstrong. Taking her passion as her business, Manju started working from home, meeting clients and advising them on investments. She has worked and developed solutions for clients of all sizes and played an instrumental role in choosing the right mutual fund. We at Fortunes Crown got into conversation with Manju Mastakar, Managing Director of Armstrong Capital & Financial Services Pvt. Ltd., to know more about the company and how it is helping the businesses and individuals as a whole. Below are the highlights of the interview: Describe your professional journey as an inspiring business professional. Any time that someone takes a risk and launches their own business there is always some foundational reason behind it. Though it was challenging at the beginning to switch from busy office life to working in a home environment, slowly but effectively working from home became the business norm. Initially, I thought of it as a stop-gap arrangement and that when the financial markets stabilize, I would get back into corporate life once again, but that never happened. First I established myself as a freelancer, and I was not shy about it at all. It wasn’t hard for me to say that I don’t have an office and I currently work out of the home. After I was almost 8-9 months into the entrepreneurial journey and had generated some cash flow, I took up a workstation in a business center. After a few more months, I hired my first employee, who in the past worked as a secretary. When you are on your own as a one-person army, it’s very important to delegate non-productive things. Slowly as business GREW, I started hiring people 1 by 1. In a year I would only add 1-2 resources. I worked on a very lean structure so that I could survive through the first 2 years of the entrepreneurial journey. What products and/or services do you offer? Armstrong offers services in the form of Financial Planning & Investment Advisory. We analyze the client’s past investments, understand his liabilities, and discuss their preferences with them. Further, we take a judgmental call on their risk appetite and then offer solutions. We call it the execution plan. We discuss the plan with the client, involving them in the decision-making process of choosing the right mutual fund.  The primary motive behind starting Armstrong and continuing it was the unencouraging way wealth management is dealt with conventionally. More of upselling the product.  I felt it was necessary to build up the relationship, understand the needs and then offer a solution. We have one plan and one perspective throughout the wealth creation journey. Till today Armstrong does not sell products. We identify requirements and sell solutions. Our core competency is that we work with integrity, keeping in mind that we need to build a long-term relationships.  How do you set yourself apart from those already in the industry? We have always had a customer-centric approach – well, all companies say the same but how they put it to practice differs. So for us, when we say customer-centric, it means that there is no over-the-counter solution provided. All relationships begin by keeping in mind the long-term objective, and a financial plan tailored to their needs.  We focus a lot on research we do bottom-up research on the funds and the stocks that they pick. We have various filterers based on analytical and various other parameters and the funds that pass through form a part of our white list. We then construct model portfolios for different categories of investors. Our wealth-building process is an iterative one, supported by many plans that evaluate the performance over a period of time.  Every client is different, and we have an individualistic approach when offering them solutions. We conceive customized financial plans for each client, considering their life goals, their commitments, their dreams and their savings.  We do not create returns, the appreciation is created by the markets we only create the discipline in the investor to save and invest at regular intervals. The first thing I do is protect wealth, the second thing we do is manage risk and then that last preference is past performance. My focus is my Vision, my focus is on my customer’s satisfaction, his long-term wealth creation and protection. This differentiates us from the rest of the industry. Talent Retaining and Hiring have been a challenge for all industries? How are you managing this aspect? In Armstrong Capital we generally hire freshers, I find freshers to be like a jigsaw puzzle and after every conversation with them add on to a piece and for more than 2 years is when the puzzle transforms into a full picture. I feel every individual has a unique characteristic that has to be utilized as a skill for the organization. A team is a unique collage of many individualistic characteristics someone can be like a lion who begins the project with full trust and power and doesn’t relax till the task is completed, someone may be like a crane with high levels of concentration who can strike at the right place with the right force. Someone maybe like a donkey who never refuses any work, some may be like cocks who can give a wake-up call. It’s the leaders’ ability to assemble them as a team and then orchestrate them. They then realize that they are dependent on one another and stick on as a team for a long time, making magic make history. What motivates you to keep going? What attracts me to this profession is intellectual stimulation, the people I work with,
