The inherent strength within the essence of every drop shapes the mighty force of an oceanic wave. Similarly, the fusion of individual atoms creates the cosmic energy fueling celestial bodies. It births new stars from the vast matter swirling within a rejuvenated black hole. This essence of individuality forms the very nucleus of collective power. Be it within the ranks of soldiers or the realm of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs, in particular, forge enterprises and companies that not only propel the industrial future but serve as the driving force of burgeoning nations, including our own.
Amidst these forces, the energy, whether positively or negatively charged, often classified as masculine or feminine, echoes a truth. While the patriarchal narrative may spotlight masculine energy in its triumphs, the underlying truth remains—the inherently powerful feminine energy perennially resides behind the scenes, deserving acknowledgement and credit for its undeniable influence.
In the modern era of equality infusion, women are getting their due chances and credit thanks to the ever-increasing pool of the awe-inspiring women leaders like Suman Bhakuni, the Founder and CEO of SS Prime Infra Pvt Ltd, proving to the male-dominated society the feminine power’s worth and mettle of eternally immortal and infinite cosmic energy.
An Inspirational Torque
From the beginning, Suman has always been fully dedicated to her profession and ensured that her endeavours are corporate-oriented and based on her interests. Thinking about ideas and transforming them into reality takes a lot, and her journey involved complete determination, confidence, and commitment from her end. She’s always thought of achieving success in her career to accelerate her personal growth along with her team’s productivity.
Suman’s journey in real estate consultancy is more than a business story; it’s a passion project turned into a legacy. It all started with a vision to transform the essence of property consultancy into a realm where relationships are valued as much as the properties themselves. In the nascent stages, the path was strewn with challenges. It was like navigating a labyrinth, where every turn demanded resilience and a steadfast commitment to her core values: integrity, transparency, and an unwavering focus on the client’s needs.
To excel professionally, Suman evaluated her priorities that are growth-oriented and created actionable steps to achieve her goals. She says, “While focusing on my social skills and tenacity to be prepared for knockbacks, I overcame the fear of failure and learned to start taking full authority over what I do as a professional to move forward positively.”
As she broke new ground, technology became Suman’s ally, enabling her to offer bespoke services that resonated with the modern client’s desires. The team’s expansion was a major chapter in this narrative, bringing together like-minded individuals who shared her vision and passion. “Today, my consultancy stands as a testament to the power of blending traditional values with innovative approaches, continuously writing new chapters of success and client satisfaction.”
The Motivational Momentum
Suman’s foray into real estate was not just a business decision but a calling. She saw a gap in the market where property transactions lacked a personal touch and genuine relationships. Inspired to fill this gap, she envisioned a consultancy that transcended the norms of real estate transactions, focusing instead on forging lasting relationships and offering a holistic, empathetic approach to clients’ property dreams and aspirations.
Embarking on this journey, Suman was met with a myriad of challenges, akin to a ship navigating through stormy seas. Establishing trust in a competitive market, where her brand was a new entrant, was like planting seeds in rocky soil. It required nurturing relationships, understanding the complex tapestry of the market, and unwavering adherence to her core principles. She adds, “These challenges were stepping stones, each teaching me invaluable lessons and shaping the robust foundation of my business today.”
Suman overcame all the adversities and established herself on the basis of many professional values and qualities greatly admired by her colleagues and clients alike. Her clients cherish her unwavering commitment to transparency and integrity above all. They value her ability to empathize with their needs, her deep-rooted industry knowledge, and her bespoke approach to each transaction. This blend of professional acumen and personal touch has not only earned Suman trust but has also cemented her reputation as a beacon of reliability and excellence in the real estate sector.
The Power of One
Like everything else, inspiration is multi-dimensional. Suman grasps it astutely. She says that there is no one perfect approach to finding inspiration as it is intensely specific to you and stems from your values and beliefs. In this regard, she has consistently discovered that spending time around passionate individuals inspires and energizes her.
“The notion that each day is a fresh start keeps me going forward because I firmly believe that every single day presents an opportunity, particularly when starting a professional journey,” she shares. Venturing into the corporate world can be difficult for people, but what inspired her was that one never knows exactly what will happen the next moment, and when she wakes up, she feels quite excited about what will be happening the same day. Since her graduation, empowering individuals and bringing about change has been her priority, and she really believes in the power of one, that an individual or their action may have a significant impact on others.
Inspiring leaders are greatly admired for their distinctive qualities. In Suman’s case, being part of the corporate world for many years, she incorporated different personality traits, values, communication abilities, and qualities that have helped her and the people associated with her move forward.
Grounded in Principles
Regarding leadership skills, people often praise her patience at work, active listening, creativity, timely communication, and risk-taking factor. These traits helped her and others reach a shared goal in their professional lives. She states, “I strongly follow the values of integrity, delegation, gratitude, empathy, and respect so that overall effectiveness can be improved and as a team, people working with me can achieve a sense of higher self-esteem and autonomy.”
Sharing her USPs, Suman says it is of harnessing the efforts of individuals and taking them toward the collective goal. With the tact of decision-making, she tends to make the right and quick decisions based on the prevailing circumstances.
Given the USPs that she possesses, it can be said that she is currently positioned as one of the dynamically multitalented personalities because she considers the strengths and weaknesses of her team and the organization in every circumstance and implements morale, confidence, and commitment to make the best choice for the organization.
Techno-Powered Realty
Further, the unique selling propositions of her brand SS Prime Infra lies in its holistic approach to real estate consultancy. “I integrate cutting-edge technology to enhance customer experiences, backed by an in-depth understanding of the ever-evolving market dynamics,” she says, adding that her team’s diverse expertise, combined with their steadfast commitment to ethical practices, sets them apart, making SS Prime Infra not just consultants but trusted advisors in the industry.
Being an experienced leader, Suman shares her opinion on how adopting modern technologies like AI&ML impacts the real estate industry and how they adapt to the change. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) are the machine’s ability to carry out cognitive tasks similar to how a human might have conducted. These abilities include problem-solving, learning, perception, and thinking. As an experienced leader in the real estate industry, she says that adopting such modern technologies helped real estate move forward gradually in a more data-driven way.
She adds, “We are adapting to the change by streamlining our transaction process, managing property listings, and assisting homebuyers with data-backed solutions. We have also implemented AI to improve our marketing process, fine-tuning our services and identifying better leads so that they can be monitored and closed without any disturbance in the pipeline.”
Creating an Equilibrium
Looking at the current industry scenario, various challenges can be witnessed in a career. Being a woman leader, there are a few challenges that not only Suman but many women generally face. Many times, she says that she has been held to higher standards where she was required to demonstrate more than the maximum of her skills to prove herself, and to overcome this challenge, she always speaks up and calls out the double standards whenever she sees them.
Gender stereotypes, the load of managing many roles at once, and unconscious bias are some other challenges, and to overcome them, Suman keeps her composure and works strategically to turn the situation and win over the obstacles. “In the end, I would like to advise every woman leader to not complain about the challenges; instead, bring out the solutions, stay confident, and act on them,” she says.
The Good Heart’s Advice
In her advice to budding entrepreneurs, especially women entrepreneurs, who aspire to venture into any industry they wish to, Suman cautions that budding entrepreneurs may face many ups and down while venturing into any desired industry, but the ways are always there to fix the gaps and issues. She mentions, “I would advise the new entrepreneurs to keep challenging themselves, take risks, don’t regret failures, and work towards their goals until they get fully satisfied with the results.”
To those embarking on their entrepreneurial journey, Suman says: let your passion be your guide and your purpose your compass. The business world is a dynamic and challenging arena; embrace continuous learning and adaptability as your armor. Build resilience and view every setback as a lesson. Cultivate robust networks, focus on creating value for your customers, and understand the financial undercurrents of your venture.
Moreover, especially to women entrepreneurs, she advises them to emphasize self-belief and surround yourself with a team that shares your vision and values, and remember, the path to success is paved with persistence, patience, and an unyielding spirit of exploration. ‘To flourish in a more enhanced manner, never step back when it comes to experimenting or taking help with technological or financial aspects.’
She further develops some distinctive qualities possessed by all the inspiring women business leaders like hers. According to her, women become great leaders as they are good at balancing personal and professional lives. There are a few important attributes/qualities that an inspiring woman leader should possess, such as strength, perseverance, passion, adaptability, and tenacity.
Harnessing Innovations to Transform the Tomorrow
Finally, Suman says that in the coming future, she sees emerging technologies and automation as catalysts for a new era in real estate consultancy. “My vision is to harness these innovations to elevate operational efficiency and offer unparalleled personalized experiences to clients.”
“Data analytics will be our crystal ball, offering insights into market trends and customer preferences, while advanced communication tools will be our bridges, connecting us seamlessly with clients and partners,” she adds.
In this fusion of tradition and innovation, Suman is committed to maintaining the human essence that stands at the heart of real estate, “Ensuring that while we evolve with technology, we never lose touch with the personal connections that define our brand,” she concludes.
