Ishould be there for the real this season of being the publication
administrator, as well as since I had a comment that may help us out
in a beautiful way.
The feedback we’ve received from readers and organisations affiliated
with our distribution have revived my faith. I owe you a huge debt of
gratitude for your tireless efforts on behalf of my gathering. The survival
of a corporate visionary is inconvenient, and we are frequently forced
to take a detour. If you enjoy it, starting a business from the ground
up will need everything you have, including your soul, blood, and sweat.
There will never be enough ability in terms of industry and execution.
While you may have your own set of skills, as a businessperson, you need
always be aware of your surroundings.

SwiftNLift magazine is not simply a print or advanced distribution at
this point; everything we do is educated by its long-standing character,
approach, and quality. Despite this, we continue to publish the print
version with the same zeal as before.

elowarethehighlightsoftheconversationbetween
Swiftnlift Business Magazine and Green Air Care.
The company was founded by Eduard Babayev
and Larry Kichatay in the year 2011. We are glad to share
this exclusive interview with all the readers.
Tell us about your company.
Vision.
Green Air Care Group Inc. is a Chicago
land heating and cooling service provider.
The company has been in business since
2011. In the past five years, we have
been one of the fastest-growing Carrier
product dealers in the Midwest.
Our visions are to continue to grow our
local brand and market share in the area
by taking great care of all our customers.
Mission
Our mission is to make HVAC decision
making for customers easy to understand
and trust our guidance to deliver the
best-suited option in terms of value and
investment.
What were the impediments
you faced at the time of
inception?
We had to learn the fundamentals
from the beginning when founding the
business, unlike many well-established
HVAC firms in the region that are
the second or third generation in the
industry. Our Technicians were top-
notch installers, but the procedures,
terminology, back-end office, ads, and
suppliers had to be built from the ground
up. This has enabled us to incorporate best practices from
other sectors into HVAC, enabling us to create new and
creative ways of doing things. We moved more machines
in three years than businesses that had been doing this
for over 30 years.

13. What services do you provide to the
customers?
Residential HVAC replacements accounted for the
majority of our jobs, but we also completed several
commercial rooftop unit projects each year. We also
have a large air vent cleaning department, which
performs over 800 duct cleaning jobs every month.
For major partnerships, we also include HVAC
maintenance, industrial trash chute cleaning, and
dryer vent cleaning.
What qualities make you stand different
from others who are already in this field?
Unlike several other HVAC companies in the region,
our mission is to assist our customers in making
informed decisions based on our professional
knowledge. Our goal is to provide systems that provide
our customers with the most benefit in terms of energy
efficiency, air quality, and comfort, as well as financial
rationale. We collaborate closely with local utility
providers, allowing us to provide our consumers with
immediate energy-efficient rebates. They won't have to
fill out any extra forms or wait weeks for their rebates
this way. We also take the opportunity to register
our customers' equipment with the vendor to extend
the warranty period. We take this job off their hands
and most people forget or refuse to do it. It's the little
items that count, and they go a long way with clients.
We've also devised methods to assist consumers who
are unable to obtain loans due to a lack of or low
credit background. We recognise that people face
challenges in their life and have devised methods
to assist consumers in obtaining financing, helping
them to stay warm through the cold Chicago winters.
It's a gamble we're willing to take, but it's our way of
helping those in search of a warm place to call home.
How do you stay updated on the recent
trends in the industry?
The HVAC market, like any other, is constantly
evolving with new developments and upgrades. To
keep up with developments and trends, our staffs
attend business conferences and educational sessions
regularly. This gives us a good idea of where the
market is going, as well as a chance to network with
other HVAC dealers around the world. Most people
are usually willing to share what works with them.
Overall, these enhancements contribute to a great
user experience for all.
Why is home air quality a priority issue?
Since most of us spend two-thirds of our lives at
home, indoor air quality is critical. It is preferable to
have air filtered by an air filter than to have the lungs

14. do all of the cleanings. In addition, we still recommend
that you install an induct UV Light device in your home.
This causes the ultra-violet light to disinfect the air
passing in, making the house free of viruses and germs.
It's also important to have a humidifier and dehumidifier
installed in your home, since everything in the house
requires humidity, particularly in the winter. Insufficient
humidity can cause cracks in hardwood floors, a dry
nose, and general discomfort.
How do you decide what system customer
needs?
We take into account a variety of variables. To begin,
we'll need to perform a proper load measurement to
determine what system is required for the house, as
well as the heating and cooling requirements for its
size. Then we collaborate with the customer's budget to
determine which systems can have the most benefit in
terms of energy usage, service rebates,
and finding the right fit. In the end,
the customer must make the decision;
our role is to provide the right choices
and include all the details necessary
for the customer to make an informed
decision based on reality and their
specific needs.
How do you evaluate your
success?
Performance is a subjective term; what
one person considers to be good can be
a low point for another. Success, in my
opinion, is a moving target. What will
ensure sustained progress is setting
well-defined targets and then renewing
them as you meet them. When this
process ends, the excitement fades, and
the conclusions become less reliable.
External recognitions are a perfect
barometer for determining how well
the business is performing.
What are you looking for
when hiring people?
We don't like to make the recruiting
process so complicated. A successful
resume simply ensures that an individual is invited
in for an interview. We are only searching for people
who are excited to work, learn, and change, regardless
of their qualifications or expertise. Before extending a
bid, we usually request a week trial duration. This helps
both the prospect and the organisation to validate the
prospect's skill set and overall fit. Even if things don't
work out, it's always preferable to shake hands and
move on.
How do you keep your subordinates
motivated? Tell me about your approach
to leading a diverse team.
We don't have subordinates; instead, we collaborate
with co-workers. Titles also discourage teamwork,
which is sorely required in the workplace. We want to
think about everybody as being on an equal footing.

15. This enables employees to communicate openly and
honestly. We often invite new hires to tell us what irritates
them or what updates, upgrades, or new procedures they
would like to see to enhance our business. We can't do
anything if we don't hear about it. We want to promote an
atmosphere where ideas are accepted, acknowledged, and
rewarded because good ideas don't always make it into the
world.
What are your greatest accomplishments?
When Green Air Care changed its attention to heating
and cooling five years ago, we saw dramatic year-over-year
development. We were named to the Inc.5000 list of the
fastest-growing private companies in the United States just
this year. For the third year in a row, our company has won a
Carrier President's Award, a distinction bestowed upon only
the top 5% of Carrier dealers in North America. The most
important achievement is the group of people we have been
fortunate to recruit and bring together because there will be
little success without a strong team.
Tell us about your upcoming projects?
We have a several major commercial ventures in the works,
including one of Chicago's oldest Sears buildings.

work.
Our multi-tenant cloud service is powered by a
high-performance mesh core network that spans
numerous nations and provides several regional
connection points throughout the world. New
regions are added to our managed service on a
regular basis, giving us global coverage.
What is OpenVPN Cloud?
In the form of a “Private Network in the Cloud,”
a managed service that allows safe networking

The Future at OpenVPN
Access Server, OpenVPN’s initial project, was
an enterprise variant of the open source VPN
software. More than 10,000 company customers
have installed the Access Server software, and
many of them continue to use it to secure their
remote access or private cloud. Despite the success
of Access Server with businesses, Dinha recognises
that the sector still faces a major challenge: cloud
security. OpenVPN has big plans for the future
in order to meet this market demand. While the
corporation will not reveal what their brilliant
team is working on, expect something that will
revolutionise the way people do business.

Environmental Health
In every corner of the globe, startup ecosystems are
forming. Everywhere you look, there are ambitious
founders and innovative startup teams looking for
novel ways to establish a perfect product-market fit
and tackle the world’s challenges.
Innovative ideas, on the other hand, can only be
put into action inside a system that is designed to
support them. Entrepreneurs require a welcoming
environment in which to create businesses that will
have a long-term influence not only on the local
economy but also on society as a whole. But, first
and foremost, what is a startup ecosystem? There are
numerous examples, ranging from self-contained
efforts like Station F in Paris to city blocks like Silicon
Roundabout in London and 22@ in Barcelona.
Let’s explore what goes into making one, what its most
important resources are, what conditions affect its
development and lastly, how to start growing one of
your own!
What is a startup ecosystem?
Startups don’t exist in a vacuum and can’t exist in one.
They are born into a certain setting as components of a
muchlargerentity-anetwork,asystem.Entrepreneurs
are surrounded by a network of people, organisations,
and other startups who help them succeed. This is
what a startup ecosystem is all about.
Interdependence is the crucial word here. An
ecosystem’s members are intertwined in a mutually
22 MAY 2021 SwiftNLift

23. 23
MAY 2021 SwiftNLift
beneficial connection, and one cannot function or live
without the others.
Members of a startup ecosystem collaborate to nurture
innovation in their local community – whether
that community is a city, a region, or a collection of
buildings – and to create and expand new enterprises
using the pool of resources available to them.
Now, let’s take a closer look at what makes up a startup
ecosystem.
What makes up a startup ecosystem?
Of course, there is no recipe for exactly what should
go into the pot when building a startup ecosystem.
However, there are a few key ingredients that each
local ecosystem needs in order to thrive.
■ Startups
■
Colleges, universities and other education
programmes
■ Funding providers
■ Incubators and accelerators
■ Coworking spaces
■ Agencies, consultants and freelancers
■ Service providers
■ Advisory organisations and mentors
■ Events
■ Media and blogs
■ Corporations
■ Supportive Government agencies
■ Research organisations
■ Talent
It’s not as simple as combining all of the essential
ingredients to create a healthy startup ecosystem.
Brilliant entrepreneurs, risk-taking investors, and
well-run events are crucial, but they are not sufficient.
Each ecosystem’s evolution is influenced by a variety
of external and internal influences.
The economy
The available market (in other words, access to
customers), the region’s international business
relations, the ecosystem’s maturity, the extent of
government incentives, and the level of startup
ecosystem management (including branding) can all
influence the amount of entrepreneurial activity that
an ecosystem can support.
In the midst of a worldwide financial crisis, it’s difficult
to expect startups to thrive. You wouldn’t expect them
to grow during a national economic downturn, either.
The size of the market is also important. Being able to
target customers in a vast prospective market, such as
China or the United States, is considerably different
from being able to target clients in a small geographic
area. Scaling startups in smaller or less powerful
countries requires strong international commercial
relationships.
Maturity and risk
Ecosystems in their early stages encounter different
obstacles than those in their later stages. Big exits free
up cash and talent in established ecosystems. This is
what is required to launch new businesses and provide
investors a cause to take additional risks.
Oversight and preferential treatment
Ecosystems that receive less government support will
struggle, whereas ecosystems that receive adequate
state incentives will prosper. The way a startup
environment is handled and branded on a global basis
can make all the difference.

Your Store Managers should never have to look at your
labour scheduling solution. Instead of requiring Store
Managers to create and change timetables, your system
should present them with a schedule that is optimised.
Your scheduling system should learn from your stores,
understand your associates’ lives, and adjust to optimise
your store schedules so that Store Managers don’t have to
make any changes. If Susan, from the deli, has to drop her
kid off at football practise every Saturday afternoon, your
workforce management software should account for this
when creating schedules.
Now that you have heard company’s vision, see the
results:

About the company
The use of Big Data is becoming a crucial way for leading
companies to outperform their peers. In most industries,
established competitors and new entrants alike will
leverage data-driven strategies to innovate, compete, and
capture value. In healthcare, data pioneers are analyzing
the health outcomes of pharmaceuticals when they were
widely prescribed, and discovering benefits and risks
that were not evident during necessarily more limited
clinical trials. Other early adopters of Big Data are using
data from sensors embedded in products from children’s
toys to industrial goods to determine how these products
are actually used in the real world. Such knowledge then
informs the creation of new service offerings and the
design of future products.
Cloudera was established in 2008 by top tech companies
in Silicon Valley, including Google, Yahoo!, Oracle (Mike
Olson), and Facebook (Jeff Hammer bacher). Cloudera
founders believe that open source, open standards, and
open markets are best. This belief is crucial to the firm’s
values.
Doug Cutting, co-creator of Hadoop joined the
company in 2009 as Chief Architect and remains to be
in the same post. At present, the company has over 1,600
employees and established offices in 24 countries with its
headquarters in Palo Alto, California.

27. Cloudera’s CSR activities
Cloudera has provided more than 4,000 employee
hours and cooperated with more than 20 non-profit
organisations around the world since its start. Many non-
profits seek to be data-driven, but lack the resources to put
these programmes in place and manage them. Cloudera
Cares is dedicated to assisting not-for-profits in bridging
these gaps, both in terms of data and people. Cloudera
Cares teamed with DataKind in 2014 to help non-profits
drive their own data strategies and advanced analytics,
machine learning, and artificial intelligence deployments.
Thorn, who built its Spotlight tool on Cloudera software,
maintained the data-driven theme with Cloudera Cares.
Through the usage of Spotlight, 6,000+ sexual trafficking
victims were identified in 2016, with 2,000+ being
children, according to Thorn’s Impact Report. In 2016,
the collaboration between Cloudera Cares and Thorn was
expanded to include Cloudera’s Enterprise Data Hub and
professional services hours.
Philanthropy
Cloudera Cares has collaborated with DataKind and The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society since its debut in early
2014. (LLS). Cloudera’s offices will host events in support
of local charities in addition to their collaborations with
these organisations. Cloudera Cares also gives back to the
community by organising and funding hackathons that
support the Data-For-Good initiative.

■ Cloudera Analytic DB: Business intelligence and
analytics are still acting as lifeblood of business. But
many enterprises are stuck in a pattern of simply trying
to keep up with the status quo, in lieu of shifting for the
future. Cloudera’s modern analytic database, powered
by Apache Impala, is the sole solution that brings high-
performance SQL analytics to big data. Power your
business with the platform that can meet the needs of
today, and evolve to meet those of tomorrow.
■ Cloudera Operational DB: Relational or NoSQL,
structured or unstructured, Operational DB delivers
insights at the speed of business. Data is the reason of
business being successful. Supplied with the right data
at the right time, decision makers across industries can
guide their organizations toward improved efficiency,
new customer insights, better products and services,
and decreased risk. Cloudera includes operational
database — powered by open source technologies such
as Apache HBase, Apache Kudu, and Apache Spark™
— delivers a secure, low-latency, high-concurrency
experience that can extract the real-time insights you

Regulatory compliance: From Dodd-Frank, CCAR, and
BCBS239 to Know Your Customer (KYC) and OATS,
enforce and scale compliance with an ever-changing
collection of laws. An business data hub is the most
effective approach for keeping detailed audit trails and
making all of your data accessible for analysis.
Proactive Quality Assurance: It costs 100 times more
to fix a problem during maintenance than it does in
pre-production. With a corporate data hub, you can
cut development time in half while also responding
to performance issues in real time and removing faults
before they are manufactured.
About the CEO
Tom has a 30-year track record in the corporate software

A
ll of these are compelling reasons to seek a
career in event management. However, everyone
who fantasizes about starting their own event
planning company must take a few crucial measures
before ever approaching clients.
Gain Event Planning Skills and Experience
The experience that the planner delivers to his or her
clients will determine the long-term success of an event
planning business. That is to say, if you want to establish
an event planning firm, you should first understand
what an event planner is and make sure you have the
following skills:
■ Verbal and written communications
■ Organization and time management
■ Negotiation and budget management
Creativity, marketing, public relations and
more
It would also be helpful to obtain professional
certification in the industry, including CMP designation
or involvement in MPI.
Determine Your Event Planning Market/
Forte
Assume you’ve been working in corporate meetings for
five years and are now ready to start your own company.
The first thing to recognise is that your abilities lie in
the business world. Many planners make the mistake
of claiming that they can arrange every type of event,
including corporate meetings, weddings, fundraising
galas, and more.
Stop. While you may feel compelled to offer a wide range
of services, your readiness is based on your cumulative
30 MAY 2021 SwiftNLift

31. 31
MAY 2021 SwiftNLift
prior experiences. You may eventually be able to
handle a wide range of events, but you must first
grasp the differences between corporate, association,
nonprofit, and social events. Determine your target
market as a result.
Develop a Business Plan
Because you decided on your market, you may be
thinking this is a good time to share the news about
what you can offer to the world. Not so fast. Starting
your own business isn’t as glamorous as such fantasies.
Like everything else, starting an event planning business
requires a business plan.
Obtain Business Insurance
Business insurance is mandatory. Event planning
businesses should secure general liability and other forms
of insurance to protect the business owner’s interests.
Several forms of insurance exist, so it’s best to speak with
an insurance advisor to learn all of the requirements.
Whether you plan on starting a home-based business
or if you will have a small office elsewhere, ask
questions about these forms of insurance (but not
limited to) as follows:
■ General liability
■ Product liability
■ Home-based insurance
■ Worker’s compensation
■ Criminal insurance
■ Health and other benefits
Define Your Event Planning Services
They are really valuable friends and resources. However,
this is also a good opportunity to dig a little deeper
and consider what kind of event planning services
you’ll provide.
Will you provide your customer with full-service
planning and execution for venues, food, production,
speakers, presents, transportation, hotel, and other
services? Will you focus on one component of the
planning process? What about event communications
and other communications services?
Establish an Event Planning Fee Structure
With services in mind, it’s important to determine
your fee structure. Many independent and small event
planning firms should be conscious of the various ways to
cover their expenses and make a reasonable profit. After
all, this will help keep you in business five years from
now. Most event planners charge based on the following:
■ Flat fee
■ Percentage of expenses
■ Hourly rate
■ Percentage of expenses plus hourly rate
■ Commissionable rate
Secure Funding for Your Business
Although this shouldn’t be step 9 in most circumstances,
it’s critical to be motivated by the job that your new
firm will bring so that you don’t become disheartened
when faced with the facts. And each business owner will
choose a different method for obtaining and obtaining
such revenue.
Most businesses require an operational budget, and it will
be critical to have access to a steady cash flow while the
company is being established. While it is feasible to start
a business on a shoestring budget, it is still necessary to
have enough cash to start your firm and cover any living
expenses while you wait to become profitable.
Focus on Business Development and
Marketing for Your Event Business
Now that you have your business model in place, a good
grasp of your services, and an idea of how you’ll charge
for them, it’s time to start creating crucial business and
marketing documents.
So, now you’re ready to pick the perfect name for your
company and go to work on your business development
strategy. You’ll also need to design business cards,
stationery, a website, sales materials, proposals, and
client contracts, among other things.

33. workplace for our employees. We’re motivated to work
because we know our consultants come to us searching
for dream jobs, and our clients stay with us because we
always have a pool of incredibly bright people on hand.
We’re at the crossroads of hopes, goals, problem-solving,
and growth, and we take that duty seriously. Our cultural
values assist us in carrying out our duty with integrity. In
a nutshell, they’re our daily gut check.
Hiring the right person for the right job is a tricky affair,
and most of the time the process goes wrong due to weak
recruitment strategies. This is where a corporate staffing
agency comes into play. Scanning through resumes,
verifying qualifications, screening candidates, and finally
short-listing a few prospective ones can be a tedious
process. A corporate staffing agency helps you to reduce
the workload, and offers many other benefits like reducing
overall labor time and cost of hiring, minimizing bad
hires, improving productivity, and offers you the ability
to cast a wider reach.
Features
Finding a job is a difficult, time-consuming, and
sometimes unproductive process; similarly, finding
enthusiastic, inspired employees capable of putting a
vision into reality is a difficult, time-consuming, and
sometimes useless endeavour. When asked, “How’s the
job search going?” the most typical response is, “How’s
the job search going?” Typically, a long, loud grunt.
Collabera extends a hand to make the search a pleasant
and supportive experience. A voyage that will not make
you groan, and one that you will never travel alone.
The company’s helpful employee network assists in the
placement of brilliant experts at innovative organisations
throughout the world, offering ongoing assistance for
both the client and the consultant throughout the project’s
duration.
The company’s goal is to be responsive, disciplined, and
passionate about everything it does. Collabera’s corporate
culture is what makes it, and it’s that culture that will carry
the company forward to becoming the leading provider
of the top talent in the IT services industry.
Another initial struggle Collabera faced was to scale up
its business. After beginning with just one key client, it
was difficult to gain a lot of traction in the industry. But,
Collabera never gave up and put in the time and energy to
ensure it delivered the best-in-business client experience
that became its foundation. Attracting the right talent
to grow the business was a challenge – 20 years later its
management team is still strong and together.
Collabera’s First Priority Is Its Employees
Our people are our most valuable asset. They’re involved
and aware that their ideas and opinions are valued—this
is big! Our staff are the driving force behind our ability to
develop; they come up with incredible new ideas every
day. We promote a sense of ownership and pride in our
employees’ daily work when we listen to them, empower
them, and allow them to work independently. Our
commitment to our employees’ growth and development
has never been stronger than it is now: in the last
three years, we’ve doubled the size of our learning and
development team. We want our employees to thrive, so
when we’re considering expanding, we start with them.
The organisation aspires to become a major global leader
in the professional services business in the future years.
With so much emphasis on innovation and automation
right now, I’m excited to see Collabera become one of
our industry’s most technologically connected firms. As
for me, I’m excited to train the next generation of leaders
who will emerge from our pool of incredibly talented
employees.

About the company
Entrust Data Card was founded 50 years ago to address an
issue in the payment industry: how to quickly customise
a payment card or credential to match market demand.
Payment cards were still relatively new at the time, and
high-speed customization was required. This market
concern was noticed by the founders of Entrust Data Card.
We’ve developed secure links all around the world,
including into space. With our card printing and issuing
technology, we’ve made it possible to make secure debit
and credit card purchases. With our border control
solutions, you may travel internationally safely. With our
SSL technologies, we’ve created safe online experiences.
With our authentication products, we’ve also protected
networks and devices.
Entrust Datacard, as a merged firm, was able to bring a
combined solution to the government market that allowed
for the secure issuing of a physical passport with a chip
containing the citizen’s digital identity. This chip contains
all of the information found on a physical passport, as
well as background information utilised by the worldwide
community to verify an individual’s identification.
This integrated solution gives residents an identification
that is unique to them as individuals, allowing them to
travel freely across borders. For the Internet of Things,
Entrust Datacard also provides authentication, connected
systems, and secure gateways.
According to the firm, its five success factors are:
1. People- Above all, the organisation believes in its
employees and provides them with the necessary
resources to fulfil their goals while also empowering
them to reach their professional goals.
2. Ownership- Because it is a privately held firm, it has an
owner that believes in the company’s long-term growth
and is ready to reinvest profits into developing future
offers.
3. Global reach—serving over 150 countries from 34
locations across the world—provides a fantastic
opportunity to break into a variety of markets.
Diverse customers and markets, as well as a diverse
product line, are among the company’s strengths.
The organisation contributes to the worldwide IT platform
and society at large by actively participating in a variety
of standard groups, such as the Certificate Authority
(CA) Browser Forum. The Cloud Security Alliance, the
Industrial Internet Consortium, the Document Security
Alliance, the VMWare Mobile Security Alliance, the

visionary, identifying gaps in the market and creating and
implementing innovative technologies to solve them.
Redefining Automation Building
KMC, as a firm that produces automation, has a lot to give
the environment and the rest of the world. For example,
KMC Commander, the company’s coveted IoT and
Automation platform, began as a vision to bring together
building systems from many networks, protocols, and
locations in a single, web-based mobile platform. KMC
teamed together with Intel and Dell to promote IoT and
show that teamwork is the only way to succeed when it
comes to this new connected notion.
KMC Controls is devoted to its customers and clients,
and it is always assessing their needs and developing new
products or updating existing ones. It does not believe, for
example, that KMC Commander will ever be a complete
solution. This implies that it will continue to evolve and
add new features.
Newberry explains, “Another example of our ongoing
innovation and consumer awareness is the KMD
Translator, a device that translates our pre-BACnet
proprietary protocol, KMDigital, into BACnet.” This was
established in response to customer demand, and it now
allows users to update their KMDigital devices, as well
as join the IoT with the addition of KMC Commander.
This allows clients to gain benefits without
having to replace their entire system. KMC
is currently developing IoT microservices
for the energy and educational sectors.
Future Ventures
KMC anticipates significant
development in a variety of channels
during the next few years. Its most recent
and well-known channel has been the OT
channel of Systems Integrators and OEM
clients, with a specialisation on HVAC
systems. “We are ecstatic about what
the future holds for KMC, and we can’t wait to share all
of this success with our clients and partners,” says the
CEO. KMC Controls’ Internet of Things (IoT) solution
for building automation, KMC Commander, continues
this attitude of innovation and market awareness under
his leadership.
About the CEO
KMC Controls’ CEO and Strategic Advisor to the Board
of Directors is Richard Newberry. He is a pioneer in the
fields of energy management, Internet of Things, and
building automation. Since 2014, Newberry, who was
formerly President of KMC, has managed the company’s
corporate development, new product creation, and
competitive strategy.
Newberry brings more than 30 years of executive and
general management experience in the energy, oil and

sectors to fostering innovation and developing strategic
collaborations with industry-leading technology
organisations. He is presently leading KMC’s work with

And Their Uses
In the last few years, the event planning sector has
exploded. It generates a healthy return on investment
and is a low-risk venture.
People nowadays place a higher value on quality of
life. They like to make the most of every opportunity.
They become physically and emotionally invested in
their events, and as a result, they actively seek out
competent event planners to arrange specific events
such as birthday parties, weddings, goodbye parties,
anniversaries, and so on.
Product launches, team development events, sales
meetings,andend-of-yearcelebrationsareallexamples
of corporate events. An event planner has a long
range of business event planning options (as well as
non-profit fundraisers) to choose from. Additionally,
because the events you’re planning are pleasant
occasions, owning an event management company
may be an optimistic and enjoyable experience. All of
these factors combine to make event planning a great
business to start.
Birthdayparties,weddings,graduations,anniversaries,

have a significant impact on business success.
In addition to private events, there are also corporate
events such as product launches, team building
events, sales meetings, or end-of-year events. The
list of corporate event planning opportunities (as
well as non-profit fundraisers) available to an event
planner is extensive, which means there is a long list
of opportunities for someone who recognizes what
makes this business sector well-suited for startups.
Almost Unlimited Income Potential:
The types of events mentioned above are the tip of the
iceberg. The potential client roster available to you is
huge. In terms of potential, you are only limited by
your imagination.
Low Business Start-up Cost: The event management
concept is difficult to beat among the many start-up
business ideas. You won’t require an office, and you’ll
be able to hire contract workers as needed. You also
don’t need to keep any form of inventory, unlike
many other firms. If you want to start your own event
management company, you may do so for very little
money.
Minimal Risk: Because you don’t need to invest
in many of the fixed costs (i.e., office space and
equipment) associated with other business start-ups,
your downside risk is kept to the absolute minimum.
Positive Cash flow: As a business owner, you have
the freedom to choose the payment options to offer
your customers. In event management, however, it is
fairly customary to pay 50% in advance and the rest
in full before the event. You won’t have the cash flow
problems that many new firms do because you won’t
have to wait 30-90 days for payment. Also, because
you’re paid in instalments before you finish, you don’t
have to chase after money as some business owners
do.
Repeat Business: Clients that return time and time
againarethegoldengrailofeveryfirm.It’sconsiderably
easier to do repeat business with existing customers
than it is to constantly seek out new ones. If you do
a good job, corporations will always offer you repeat
business, and if you do a good job, private individuals
will likely suggest you to their friends and relatives.
Accessibility: Because event management has grown
in popularity as a business start-up, the availability of
online event management courses has proliferated. It’s
easy enough to do a Google search to find the best one
for you.
Efficiency: One of the most significant advantages
of event management is the ability to use available
software to automate many of the essential duties.
Today’s market has a plethora of fantastic software
products that can assist you in organising and running
your business effectively.
Build a Substantial Asset: An event management
operation, especially one with repeat corporate
clients, is a valuable asset that you can sell or pass on
to a family member.
DynamicIndustry:Peoplebecomeinvolvedphysically
and emotionally in their events and actively seek out
good event planners. The end result is a rewarding
career where you’re engaged and interacting with
people.
Fun: Running an event management business can
be an upbeat and fun experience because the events
you’re orchestrating are happy occasions.
To summarise, the event planning industry is a good
startup opportunity due to its low risk element, high
return on investment, and high market demand. So, if
you’re thinking about getting into the event planning
industry, the methods listed above will help you learn
about the requirements for getting started.
