Having lunch with colleagues (or I call them "work friends") is so underrated. Teams don't only bond over coffee which gives us the "Caffeine rush" but teams also bond while enjoying "Biryani". And to be honest, "Bonding over Biryani" goes a longer way 😉. I am a team player and I am so proud of it, I love knowing people, where they are coming from, the culture, the upbringing, the ideologies and everything that gives us an emotional understanding. Having lunch with the team gives me a sense of friendship that goes a long way and it shows on each aspect of our professional career. What bonding over lunch did for me? 1. Helping me know my colleagues better 2. Worked as an ice breaker to blend with new joiners🤝 3. Gave me an idea of who is a talented cook in the team and who is giving a good portion of paycheck to food delivery apps 😀 4. Start some of the most beautiful conversations 🙋🤷♂️🧏♀️💁♂️with the team We all spend a decent amount of time with our colleagues, knowing them more goes a long way both personally and professionally. As I always say to my team: "It easier to work with a friend than to work with a stranger" Chinmay Bagade Chandramani Salunke Ravi Borsadiya Sumeha Mahajan Pic credit: Marvin K.

Ankur Sharma, co-founder Rebel Foods, and Lakshman Gupta Kanamarlapudi, co-founder of Qapita, recently engaged in an insightful discussion at the 11th National Conference. They delved into the profound philosophy and objectives behind the implementation of ESOPs within Rebel Foods, highlighting the power of employee ownership in fostering a culture of shared success.   At the heart of Rebel Foods lies a commitment to cultivating a culture of genuine ownership. Ankur Sharma passionately revealed that their journey centers around empowering every team member to embrace not just a role but a sense of co-ownership. Why? Because they believe that when employees see themselves as stakeholders, it ignites unparalleled dedication and passion.

So the ‘festive season’ has officially kicked off and we at FoodNest are more prepared than ever to make it go as smoothly as possible by learning from our previous years experiences (mistakes) 1️⃣Team building needs to be done quite in advance so that new staff gets enough time to settle in. 2️⃣ Assign the right work to the right employee. Sometimes a right person at the wrong place can bring in a lot of anxiety at work place 3️⃣Do not over promise any work. Keeping transparency in timelines will help the client to organise their work effectively 4️⃣Lastly, very important, do not pass the stress to the employees. In manufacturing, it’s extremely important to keep a calm mind, which in turn increases the productivity. Let me know in comments if I have missed out on any important pointers!

Dear Professional, are you milk or wine? I’m sure you’re wondering why Chidinma is thinking about food drinks this morning. Here’s the thing: milk sours with time, but wine gets better with time. Milk is short-term, given its short shelf life, while wine is long-serving and visionary. The properties of milk and wine determine their shelf life, just as your internal motivation determines how well you age as a professional. So, again, are you milk or wine? Do you still have the fire and even some renewed energy, or are you letting time cause you to sour? When employees are surveyed and grouped according to their length of service (LOS), you typically find a change in engagement levels between the recent hires and the oldies (usually negative). You also find a lot more ideas, willingness to change, and proactivity from recent hires. In a world where a premium is placed on longevity with organizations, where a longer LOS is seen to indicate loyalty and stability, to what extent are older employees in terms of LOS wine as opposed to milk? This isn’t about the above LOS, though; this is an introspective post. Are YOU milk or wine? Do you sour or get better with time? Let me know in the comments.   Bonus: Maybe you’re somewhere between both, beginning to get disengaged. Here’s a tip to get you back towards premium wine status: Identify your why and work your way back or forward! Conduct a personal audit and identify what you need to do to ensure you’re a value-adding professional. Do it for yourself; do it today! Have a great week! Chidinma 

US Foods. While very few people may see this, I feel it's important to say. For years I've said that we as a company can rule the food distribution world. I feel we have the leadership, the drivers, and the capabilities to perform. While many would and do complain, they also know that the complaints we have are not things that are unique to us foods. All companies have challenges they face. How we react is what will help us prevail as the leaders in the industry.   We have a great cultural belief system and we are striving daily to create a safer, stronger workplace and workforce. I've been here for 12+ years. I've seen where we've grown up as a company to try and put safety at the forefront of the job. For those that need a career; for those that need to feel the satisfaction of doing a job that makes a difference; look around and see that there are literally thousands of people making a difference in the food service industry with us foods. And just know that while other companies can make that same statement, look at the culture, the cultural beliefs, the priority of safety, and see that while it's an ever changing world, WE WILL rise to the top .

Dear All, Hope everyone is enjoying the summers. It’s been a while since we shared an update on WannaEat. Wanted to take this opportunity to share progress since the last update at the beginning of the year. In May, WannaEat celebrated its first year anniversary. Can’t believe it’s already been a year. Time is flying !! Over the last year, not only did we build and launch the platform, we made great strides in growing the start-up. What started as a twinkle in our eyes about a year and half ago, is now a real business with more than a thousand customers, operating in 10 towns in New Jersey (with new towns being added soon). Over the last year, we have delivered thousands of daily meals and hundreds of catering orders. As the founder, most of my day is spent talking to customers and chefs. I can’t express in words the gratification I experience when speaking to chefs and customers. Chefs thank me, some while having tears in their eyes, for giving them the platform to feel more fulfilled in life. The opportunity to monetize their passion and skills means the world to them and they are thankful for WannaEat to be the wind beneath their wings. We have created a springboard for dreamers to become chef-preneurs, to realize their hopes, dreams and aspirations. Customers on the other hand share that they are thankful for the opportunity to get simple, homely food that is made with love. Food that is fresh and full of authentic flavors, that not only tastes good, but is also healthy and where every flavor tells a story. They are thankful for the convenience of good quality home cooked food delivered to their doorsteps. Every one of these conversations reinforces for us that we are on the right path with WannaEat. So what’s next, you ask !  We are fortunate to have by now demonstrated a strong product market fit and grown to 10 towns. It’s now about further scaling to additional markets and geographies, it’s about deepening our stronghold in existing markets. We have big plans for the future and we need like minded and passionate people to be our force multiplier. If you are in business development and marketing (or know of someone who is) and would like to join in our mission to #ImproveLives, give me a holler. Thank you for all the good wishes and vibes you keep sending our way. We are onto something magical !  #BestIsYetToCome

In the Last couple of weeks, I have been part of the recruiting processes of several companies, I would like to share with you an insight. Onboarding sets the intention for the whole relationship until the end of it, so it is crucial to understand it from the beginning, and I think it really does not matter the role, may it be executive, manager, team member. In the recruiting process, ask the followings Questions (or some variation of them): 1- Do you have map of my activities of the first 3 months, once I start? If not, how do I measure my progress or how do I know I am doing a good job? 2 - Do you think a new comer in the company is in a vulnerable position? Why/Why Not? 3 - How to make a New comer feel welcomed? and how about appreciated? 4- What is the biggest gift that a new comer can bring when joining the Company? 5 What you think it would be a token of appreciation in the eyes of a new comer ? (excluding money) Let me know your thought please :) #peoplefirst #leadershipexample
