Shivanandhini P.B

Achievers profiles, Achievers, new profiles / Chander Kant

Some people build companies. Shivanandhini builds the people who do.

As Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at MyProBuddy Ventures Private Limited, she has quietly become one of the most trusted voices in India’s early-stage startup ecosystem, a mentor, a strategist, and above all, a believer in the potential of founders before the world catches on.

Her own story of innovation began in college. In 2019, she received the Tamil Nadu Student Innovator Award for developing a water purification solution that outperformed conventional RO systems, a breakthrough born from curiosity and a deep sense of purpose. She went on to claim first place at the Smart India Hackathon and earned a national grant for a low-cost, sustainable solution to clean ponds and lakes. These weren’t just wins on a résumé. They taught her what it truly means to turn an idea into something that matters.

That lived experience became her greatest asset when she made her defining transition from builder to enabler. Stepping into the startup world through marketing, she quickly found herself doing something far more meaningful: helping founders find their voice, own their story, and walk into investor rooms with conviction.

Over time, she carved a rare niche in founder storytelling and investor readiness. Through partnerships with state startup missions, TNRISE, and incubation centers, and as a mentor at the Women Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP), she has guided over 100 student startups and 50+ founders helping them communicate their value, structure their pitches, and unlock the funding that brings their visions to life.

What sets her apart isn’t just her expertise. It’s her warmth. Her ability to sit with a founder in their most uncertain moment, simplify the complexity, and say “here’s your story, and it’s worth telling.”

Outside her professional world, she leads youth empowerment initiatives through Rotaract, extending her belief that strong communities, like strong ventures, begin with well-guided people.

Shivanandhini doesn’t measure success by valuations or exits. She measures it in founders who finally believed in themselves and went on to make others believe too.

ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co. Ltd., Motor Claims

Achievers, Achievers profiles, new profiles / harish

ICICI Lombard Redefines Motor Claims with a Seamless Digital-First Experience

ICICI Lombard is the leading private general insurance company in the country. The Company offers a comprehensive and well-diversified range of products through multiple distribution channels, including motor, health, crop, fire, personal accident, marine, engineering, and liability insurance. With a legacy of over 2 decades, ICICI Lombard is committed to customer centricity with its brand philosophy of ‘Nibhaye Vaade’.

Digital Motor Claims:

In today’s fast-paced digital era, ICICI Lombard has redefined motor insurance claims by moving away from tedious paperwork toward a seamless, app-centric experience. By leveraging the IL Mobile app, the company has transformed a traditionally stressful ordeal into a transparent, DIY process that can be managed entirely from a smartphone.

The Digital Journey:

The digital claim journey is built on speed and simplicity, typically following these stages:

Instant Intimation: Instead of waiting to speak to an agent, policyholders can register a claim instantly through the IL Mobile app, website, or even via WhatsApp
Video Inspection: This is the crown jewel of their digital offering. It allows users to conduct a self-inspection by recording a live video of the vehicle damage. This eliminates the 24–48 hour wait for a physical surveyor to arrive, enabling “spot approvals” for minor to mid-sized claims.
Digital Documentation: Required documents like the RC, Driving License, and FIR (if applicable) are uploaded directly through the app. Artificial Intelligence and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technologies process these files in real-time, reducing manual errors and verification lag.
Real-Time Tracking: Much like tracking a food delivery, the app provides a live dashboard where users can see the status of their claim—from “Surveyor Assigned” to “Settlement Completed.”

Key Advantages

The shift to digital provides significant benefits:

Cashless Convenience: Users can locate the nearest network garage through a built-in GPS locator, ensuring the bill is settled directly between the insurer and the workshop.

Drastic TAT Reduction: The Turnaround Time (TAT) for approvals has dropped from days to mere hours or even minutes for eligible claims.

Transparency: Digital logs ensure every update is recorded, providing a clear trail for the policyholder.

By integrating AI-based automated approvals and video-led assessments, ICICI Lombard has effectively placed the power of claim settlement directly into the hands of the customer.

What began with airport lounge access gradually evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem of 20+ services – from global lounges and airport transfers to meet-and-assist, spa services, golf, beauty & grooming, healthcare, members-only clubs, visa services, and more. Today, DreamFolks’ footprint spans over 3,000 touchpoints across 100+ countries, reflecting both scale and reach. In FY25 alone, 10.9 million passengers accessed services powered by DreamFolks – a testament to the trust the platform has built across stakeholders and travellers alike.

Building India’s Premium Comfort Seating Brand from Vision to Global Ambition

In a market once dominated by imported products and fragmented retail structures, India’s premium comfort seating segment lacked direction and organized leadership. In 2011, first generation entrepreneur Ravinder Goel recognized the opportunity to create a homegrown brand that could deliver world class comfort while building strong domestic manufacturing capabilities. This vision led to the founding of Little Nap Recliners.

Starting with an initial investment of five lakh rupees and a small showroom, Goel entered a category that had minimal ecosystem support. Suppliers were largely unorganized, consumer awareness was limited, and margins were thin. Rather than competing on price, he focused on building long term capability. Investments in in house manufacturing, research and development, after sales service, and consumer education gradually expanded the comfort seating market and established Little Nap as a defining player in the segment.

Today, the company operates two advanced manufacturing facilities and a network of seventeen exclusive showrooms, employing more than four hundred and fifty professionals across design, production, distribution, and service functions. Its portfolio caters to premium residential buyers as well as institutional clients, including leading cinema chains such as PVR INOX, NY Cinema, and Connplex, major healthcare institutions like Medanta, along with corporate lounges and hospitality spaces.

Little Nap has further strengthened its market presence through strategic global partnerships with La Z Boy from the United States and Seating Spectrum from Malaysia, integrating international design and engineering expertise into the Indian market.

As he looks ahead, Ravinder Goel is steering the company toward deeper domestic expansion and stronger global integration. With plans to manufacture select products for international brands in India and explore export opportunities for its own portfolio, Little Nap is evolving from a domestic category creator into a cross border manufacturing and brand platform in the comfort seating industry.
