ShineNexgen has been empowering people around the world to achieve business transformation and growth through its services that boost process and operational efficiencies. Speaking to Opportunity India, Shankar Naidu, CEO, ShineNexgen explains how he started a solution provider company and how it is catering to the needs of the industry.

ShineNexgen was started in 2017. The idea for this venture came up as a result of recognizing the need to help individuals who lacked essential skills, such as English language proficiency, communication skills, interview techniques, and soft skills. Understanding the importance of these skills in today's competitive job market, Naidu decided to create a training and recruitment service that could empower people to improve their employability and career prospects.

Driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others, I have curated comprehensive training programmes tailored to the specific needs and goals of target audience. ShineNexgen’s vision was to provide practical, hands-on learning experiences that would enable individuals to overcome language barriers and enhance their professional capabilities,” he said.

What Challenges Did You Face In Running This Business?

Shankar Naidu: The corporate training and recruitment sector can be competitive, with many players offering similar services. Standing out and differentiating our business from others might require innovative approaches and a strong value proposition.

Attracting clients and marketing our services effectively can be challenging. Finding the right channels to reach our target audience and showcasing the benefits of our training programmes was crucial.

Most importantly, managing finances, especially in the early stages of a business, can be demanding. Maintaining a balance between revenue generation, operational costs, and investments in growth was essential and we faced lots of struggles in this aspect.

Scaling our business to accommodate more clients and expand our services came up with logistical and organisational challenges.

Finding the right talent and providing them with adequate training to deliver high-quality programmes was a little challenging.

Also, incorporating technology into our training programmes and operations required investment and technical expertise.

How Does This Business Model Work?

Shankar Naidu: This business model operates by utilising the innovative “ADA” method, focusing on “Activities, Discussions, and Applications.” With a participant-centric approach, the training programmes are designed to be 80 per cent practical and 20 per cent theoretical, empowering learners through hands-on experiences, collaborative discussions, and real-world applications. By customizing training programmes to meet the specific needs of clients and their target audience, the company ensures maximum skill development and knowledge retention. Employing qualified trainers, embracing technology, and prioritizing client engagement and satisfaction, the model delivers comprehensive and effective corporate training and recruitment solutions, ultimately empowering individuals to enhance their professional capabilities and career prospects.

Furthermore, our journey from a proprietary company to a private limited company highlights the importance of adaptability and visionary leadership. By sharing our expertise, entrepreneurs can learn how to leverage technology, engage clients, and transform their businesses to make a positive impact in the corporate training industry.

What Is The Lesson Learnt So Far In This Journey?

Shankar Naidu: The key lesson learned so far in our journey is the transformative power of perseverance, personal growth, and empathy. Our initial struggles after education underscored the importance of English language skills and communication, motivating us to overcome challenges and attain personal success. Recognizing the significance of these skills, we embarked on a mission to help others facing similar barriers through our corporate training and recruitment venture.

Embrace failures as learning opportunities and never be afraid to take calculated risks. Stay focused on delivering value to your customers and continuously seek feedback to improve your products or services. Surround yourself with a strong support network of mentors, advisors, and like-minded individuals who can offer guidance and encouragement. Invest in your personal and professional growth, and always be open to learning and adapting to market changes.
