What are you thinking? Just have a coffee and then contemplate it.Understanding the value and worth of your employees is crucial and rewarding at the time of appraisals.Wow, it’s March, the time for appraisals has started. It’s the period of performance reviews to evaluate the worth of your employees.As an HR professional and entrepreneur, here's what I've learned from my experience:1. Knowing the worth of your employees is vital.2. Retaining employees is more challenging than hiring new ones, but retaining them for years is truly rewarding.3. Every employee eagerly awaits the March and April appraisal cycle all year long, so it's your opportunity to keep them content.I've observed that when an employee asks for a 40-50% hike, as entrepreneurs, we often think, " Esa to kya kiya hai jo itna hike maang raha hai ?I'm not suggesting giving in to every demand, but it's crucial to measure the worth of your employees and their contributions to the company's growth. Give your employees what they deserve, regardless of whether they ask for it or not.To employees, I suggest that while money is important, it's not everything. According to me, Paisa khushi to bhut deta hai, phir bhi sari khushiya paiso se nahi hai. So, during appraisals, along with considering the monetary aspect, think about whether you're in the right place with the right culture. Are your colleagues and management supportive during tough times? And most importantly, are you genuinely happy? If you're considering changing jobs for a 10% hike but your soul is content in your current company, would that increment really be worth it?Believe me, all these factors matter immensely in life.#employers #employees #appraisal #promotion

People ask about weekends, Your weekends can be worthy too if you are surrounded by the right folks, and for me, they are eChai Ventures and this is what echai friends do.The day started with chit-chat about the business and was followed by an amazing lunch at Karnawati Club.Attended an amazing echai demo day, where one friend pitched his new venture on the stage and another shared his success story.58 Miles Rocks and AllEvents.in has been always inspiring.Crazy fun weekend with craziness and productivity. Hope to have these keep coming in.Jatin Chaudhary Pankaj Bhimani Amit Panchal Umesh Uttamchandani Himani Kankaria Kumar Manish Koumal Kalantry Shrijay Sheth Leena Parikh Syed Nadeem Jafri Gaurav Barot

I believe Valentine's Day holds special significance for every individual, as it's a day dedicated to love and spreading affection. Everyone assigns different values to Valentine's Day. Here's why it's meaningful to me: I found my calling on February 14th, 2022.It was the day when I took the first step toward Hummingbird. I had been associated with Cadila, and on that day, I resigned from the company. After resigning, as I made my way home, I passed numerous flower shops and realized that after making that decision, it was fitting to treat myself to a bouquet on Valentine's Day. I love roses like crazy, so I asked the cab driver to wait for five minutes while I gifted myself a bouquet :D Journey from the office to my flat was very difficult and I was feeling “ Aaj ghar kyun nahi aa raha hai” . I questioned myself, wondering if I had made the right decision or not but Abhi to decision le liya tha. I was feeling quite emotional that day as I went to meet everyone. Some of my colleagues seriously started crying and were saying, 'What is this nonsense? Why are you making such a stupid decision but boss samjh to aaya us din ki insaan to apan ache hai Harsha Bhurani :DI decided to spend quality time with myself when I reached home. The first person I called was Sumita Sharma and I shared the entire scenario with her. It was challenging for her to accept, as she, along with my colleagues, knew I was expecting a significant appraisal after months of hard work. However, she supported me nonetheless.That day was simply amazing, still, I can recall spending a peaceful evening, enjoying the sunset with a cup of tea, and dinner at my favorite Pav Bhaji place near IIM, Vastrapur. Eventually, till that time, I gathered the courage to inform my parents about this news. My father was initially shocked but he asked if I was okay, which meant the world to me. I reassured him, saying I was celebrating my day with Pav Bhaji. And then, I concluded my day with a brownie, and you can see the sheer joy reflected in this picture:DAfter a brainstorming session with myself, writing three different Harsha on sticky notes and pasted them on my wall. I decided to go with 'Harsha Pro', who wanted to start her own business.Feeling unsure of my next steps, I called Jatin Chaudhary for guidance and asked if I could meet him, and he suggested meeting half an hour before eChai event at IIM later that evening. I was extremely excited to meet him because I never thought that day would come that soon. So when I met Jatin I said , “Abhi resign to daal diya hai immediate basis par, entrepreneur hi banna hai but pata nahi iske baad kya karna hota hai? He explained various aspects of HR, training, and development, providing valuable insights and references.And so began my rollercoaster journey with Hummingbird, which continues to this day. It's been a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and failures, and I'm ready to build HummingBird whatever it takes.

This post is to my fantastic friend, Manoj Adwani, and gives a massive shoutout to his incredible new venture, the "Vani with Adwani" podcast!My weekends have truly found their rhythm with the enriching stories he shares about the journey of entrepreneurs from tier 2 cities.From the hurdles and challenges to the triumphs and successes, "Vani with Adwani" covers it all. It's become a weekend ritual for me, and I eagerly anticipate each new episode.But that's not all – yesterday, I received a beautiful gift from "Vani with Adwani" and Munchex, complete with a lovely card. It was a gesture that spoke volumes about the thoughtfulness behind this venture.Reflecting on the roots of this connection, I remember meeting Manoj at an eChai Ventures event where he was in the early stages of planning season 3. We engaged in extensive discussions about covering entrepreneurs from Ahmedabad, and when the podcast finally dropped, it surpassed all expectations. It was nothing short of amazing!As someone navigating the entrepreneurial landscape for not even two years, I've been fortunate to receive incredible support from the startup ecosystem. eChai has been a significant part of this journey, and meeting Manoj was serendipitous.Manoj's dedication to showcasing the untold stories of entrepreneurs from the heart of India is truly commendable. His latest series covering entrepreneurs from Ahmedabad is a testament to his commitment, and the podcast has reached the next level of awesomeness.Expressing gratitude for the support received in this entrepreneurial journey is sometimes challenging. However, I've found a way to contribute by sharing "Vani with Adwani" with my family and friends. The aim is to spread these inspiring stories to as many people as possible and contribute to their journey, even if it's just 1%.A heartfelt thank you for this gift. Kicking off the year on a sweet note with the delectable Meetha Paan from Munchex! Here's to an incredible 2024 with more insightful podcasts! All the best, and looking forward to the many more stories that "Vani with Adwani" will unfold. #VaniWithAdwani #EntrepreneurialJourney #PodcastMagic
