As people proceed into a career of their choice, that career becomes an important element of who they are, what they are, where they live, what car they drive and many other things that affect the individual. However that career should not be something if it can be helped, that can affect an individual’s health. Truthfully that is quite often the case. A professional career can be a big source of stress and challenge. Long hours are put in behind the keyboard or out in the field somewhere, or out in a car driving around from client to client. These types of conditions call on the individual to consider and implement some sort of balance into their lives. This balance is critical to maintaining health if even it is focused on a mental break of sorts. Of course, it is preferable for that individual to consider some sort of athletic activity throughout the workday. Whether they break it up into small active brakes or implement a healthy exercise session at the beginning or end of their day, is important to introduce that into the regular routine if possible. Another way to introduce balance is for that individual to integrate some sort of hobby, particularly active hobbies that allow them to escape the pressures and thinking about work. For some it can be something like enjoying movies or playing video games, for others it could mean getting out on the weekends and taking in some fishing. Regardless of how it is put together that is something that Sudhir Bajaj has constantly shared with his team and peers over the years and he encourages people to go out and find some way to relieve their stress.

It is very easy for people to say you should network when it comes to meeting new people, meeting new friends and meeting people in the world of business. It is another thing to actually do it. For most people, they find themselves in a place where they are looking to network in terms of a professional relationship. This can mean meeting other peers in the industry that you work in, it can mean meeting potential clients and potential employers through a variety of professional organizations, and it can mean networking as it is done through a hobby of some kind.
Whatever the goal of the networking actually is, it is important to note that the goal is to find and meet new people. That couldn’t be any truer than it is in the world of business. Therefore when one is networking in that environment, it is essential to present the best picture in every respect. It means evoking a professional image that is appropriate from your appearance, your presentation and your preparedness. The first question to ask yourself is whether you have a business card. Then you must consider whether your attire is appropriate for the situation. For example one type of professional networking environment might be business casual, where slacks and a polo shirt might be the appropriate attire for that given day. Another situation might be a more formal lecture, speaking engagement or conference where the dress code my call for an actual shirt and possibly a shirt with a tie. Regardless of what style is called upon, the object is to present the best image possible. Sudhir Bajaj is a professional that has a lot of experience in networking through social media, online groups and in business situations over the course of many years. In any profession, it is easy to let your work-life take over everything. This can hinder you in the long run if you are not careful. It is important to maintain healthy habits that will increase your productivity. If you only allow yourself to do work, you will end up burned out and not able to work at all. Some helpful tips to staying healthy while still getting the job done would be to eat right, exercise regularly and get plenty of rest.
Sudhir Bajaj is a successful business professional that understands one of the keys to success is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Something as simple as reading a paper helps retains his mind's ability to stay flexible, which studies have shown improve the likelihood of slowing down mental aging, as well as staving off debilitating diseases such as Alzheimers. He says that another way to keep the body and mind healthy other than exercising is to make sure that it gets the proper nutrition through good dieting. He says that the key to doing so is by maintaining a level of health through exercise and proper eating habits that are conducive to learning and growing as an individual. Sudhir Bajaj says the best approach to personal health is a diet low in carbohydrates, rich in raw fruits and vegetables, and all organic minimally processed foods that have many antioxidants, which help prevent many different cancers. He says that the best way to achieve this is to steer away from too many carbohydrates, as well as the many processed foods so prevalent in America today. Sudhir chooses to exercise his mind by reading, or doing brain training exercises such as Soduko or other puzzles like Crosswords. Sudhir believes strongly in the body-mind connection. He feels that exercise for the mind, as well as the body, are both important to maintaining healthy living. For any new start-up or small business, establishing an online presence is just as important as traditional advertising. Having an online presence expands your current reach faster to new customers usually with little to no cost involved. There are a lot of different ways to build an online presence for your business. Building a website, creating social media pages, blogging and providing videos and pictures of your products or services online are great ways to jump start your online presence and build your brand awareness. Sudhir Bajaj wants to help many businesses and small business owners develop an online presence so they can generate more digital sales. From what he has observed and experienced, the most important thing about a business progressing and moving forward is anticipating where the world is going collectively. It is about vision and understanding the future. He believes that the businesses that die out are the ones that fail to be on the cutting edge of things, who refuse to change and grow with the world. He says adopting these more progressive business models will be the key predictor of success for many businesses in the future. He says that his entire service is based around this principle because of how important it has become in the new digital age. He says that this is a failed business model because the world itself is under constant change. Sudhir Bajaj says that if the world is constantly moving and improving, the people and businesses within them should not be any different. This is why building an online presence is a great way for businesses to progress forward. Sudhir Bajaj says that establishing a network of talented professionals can be hard to achieve, as many businesses are rivals, but a common ground alliance offers advantages that cannot be ignored by either side. Professional Networking is basically building alliances through many business transactions with other businesses and representatives to help their goals align and synergize, rather than oppose and inhibit. Like in many things, not every business has the whole story, only fragments of what is going on. Sudhir says that in his experience, the best way to prevent a business from being unprepared or surprised by an event, is to share their information with each other, something everyone benefits from. He has many skill sets that he has acquired through both his own education and personal and professional experiences. He says that Professional Networking is one of the best ways to see results in a business marketing scheme or tactic, and that it is very effective when administered correctly. Sudhir is a professional in the business and investment consulting field that has made quite a name for himself considering how shortly he has been directly involved in the industry. Professional Networking helps link businesses and groups together so that they can help each other with tasks and information that they would not have access to otherwise. Utilizing Professinal Networking allows these businesses to share each fragment of the story they have with each other, so that they can see a more complete picture, allowing them to have more information. Sudhir Bajaj says that in the business world, information can make or break you, as it is pivotal that you are able to anticipate the market's next move. One of the most valuable skills and talents that he possesses is his ability to utilize Professional Networking. What Sudhir Bajaj lacks in experience at his relatively new position as CEO of Planetsoft, he makes up in his ability to manage, and his raw talent and knack for not just relating to people, but setting and cementing long term business relationships and networking. He is a professional investor and manager in the business world who has been making quite an impact lately, despite being so young and relatively inexperienced. He says that a salesman is the face of the company, and if people trust you, they will trust your product. Sudhir Bajaj says that business has always been what he is interested in, and he is one of those individuals who is fortunate enough to be able to work in his field. He hopes only to continue to improve his skill set and general knowledge in the industry, and says that he will continue to put his best foot forward and learn everything there is to know about the business world. He has also demonstrated a true knack and talent for the industry, as he picks up on the subtlety's of the job and performs better than nearly all of his peers in the same arena. Sudhir Bajaj says that business can be very closely related to politics, and that the more individuals you know, the more resources at your command and ultimately, the more sales and profits you will be able to generate for your company. He says that building and maintaining relationships within a community through various businesses, vendors, and customers is how you begin to build trust, which is a professional businessman's best friend. As a CEO and manager, Sudhir says that one of the most important skill sets you can possess on the job is the ability to relate to others, as well as to know other professionals in the field. Businessman Sudhir Bajaj likes to give back to his community, regularly involving himself in various charity fundraising opportunities and events. Bajaj sees value in improving the lives of others, and through his charitable contributions he can have a direct impact on this goal. Most recently, Sudhir Bajaj participated in the 5th Annual Round Table India Open golf tournament at the Hyderabad Golf Club. The event was organized by members of the Hyderabad Deccan Round Table 189 as a way to raise money for Freedom Through Education (FTE). FTE is an initiative led by Round Table India to build educational infrastructure to support the education of India’s children. Currently, India’s existing educational buildings can’t host the millions of children in India, resulting in many children not attending school whatsoever. Bajaj sees the problem in this, as many children grow up illiterate and intellectually isolated. Himself a holder of two Master’s degrees, Bajaj wants to encourage children to attend school so they, too, can achieve a successful career like his. Sudhir Bajaj also works closely with LUV4wrd, a social networking platform that encourages users to share messages of love and happiness. Since other photo-sharing mediums also host images of negativity, LUV4wrd is unique in hosting only positive messages. Additionally, the Atlanta-based platform has partnered with local business FLIP Burger, which donates ¢50 to Mercy Center each time a user shares an image with the hashtag “LUV4” attached. Mercy Center is Atlanta’s only healthcare resource for the homeless, and Bajaj sees potential in the app to drive social change and reduce the city’s homeless population. With his knowledge of information technologies, Bajaj hopes to further contribute to LUV4wrd’s efforts by expanding the business to support oth Since he sold his insurance software business PlanetSoft in 2012, businessman Sudhir Bajaj has been working with LUV4wrd, an app designed to promote sharing positive messages in the community. LUV4wrd is a platform similar to that of Facebook’s Instagram. However, it is dedicated to only hosting images of positivity and love. Created in 2014 by President Bridgette Morris, the Atlanta-based app encourages users to use the hashtag “#LUV4” and add whatever they love or care about in the image that is being shared. Morris developed the concept of “LUV”, and it stands for “Living Ur Values,” an idea that is very important to the Christian Counselor and Therapist. LUV4wrd also encourages users to TAG others. In terms of the app’s use, TAG-ing is not only crediting others involved in the post, but also encouraging them to share what they LUV on the app. TAG stands for “Together Actions Grow,” and Morris and her team believe that as more users share their LUV’s, it will snowball into a larger entity. Sudhir Bajaj is currently LUV4wrd’s CEO and works with the business to develop useful strategies for expansion. Currently, LUV4wrd has partnered with FLIP Burger to support Mercy Center, Atlanta’s only healthcare resource for the estimated 7,000 men, women, and children that are homeless in the city. For every #LUV shared on the app, FLIP Burger donates ¢50 to Mercy Center, and Bajaj and his team at LUV4wrd are working toward 7,000 posts on the platform to match the number of homeless people in Atlanta. With his background in international expansion and information technology, Sudhir Bajaj hopes LUV4wrd can expand to benefit multiple charities in several cities around the United States and, eventually, the world. Prior to opening his first business, Planet Soft, Sudhir Bajaj served as the Chief Information Officer at Cyrk, Inc. Under his leadership, Cyrk experienced a successful public offering and acquisitions of four different businesses. After six years leading his colleagues at Cyrk, Bajaj left the business in 1999 to start Planet Soft.
Planet Soft was an international insurance software developer that assisted businesses in developing and underwriting insurance policies that supported the life insurance industry in a global market. As CEO, Sudhir Bajaj developed offices in the United States and India, employing over 500 individuals on two continents. The business grew consistent year over year, and in 2012 attracted the attention of rival software developer Ebix. Ebix bought Planet Soft in July of 2012 for millions of dollars, of which $35 million was paid in cash, and another $5 million was awarded in shares of Ebix stock. With the profits accrued from the sale of Planet Soft, Bajaj looked to embark on a new aspect of healthcare, this time choosing to invest in medical device developer Lens Gen. Lens Gen, based out of Irvine, Calif., is working to revolutionize the ophthal mological community through the development of a new implantable intraocular eye lens that helps minimize the effects of presbyopia. Presbyopia is the natural degradation of the eye’s lens through aging, typically beginning to affect patients over the age of 40. Within the eye, the lens loses its ability to change shape and auto focus on nearby objects. Typically, ophthalmologists prescribe corrective lenses or reading glasses, to facilitate a better field of vision. However, Bajaj and his partners at Lens Gen have hope that their revolutionary development will eliminate the need for reading glasses for patients suffering from presbyopia. |
