Meet our member Jigna Shroff, event organiser and owner of The Jalwa Club. Her journey from a budding entrepreneur to the esteemed owner of a thriving event business and her unparalleled dedication and vision are truly inspiring. Her events are nothing short of spectacular; each meticulously planned affair reflects her innate ability to blend creativity with precision.

Here is an interview with her:

1. Tell us more about yourself – your passions, hobbies etc

I was born and brought up in Mumbai and am married with two grown up kids, a pet and a family of 4. I am currently working as Finance & Ops Manager. I love reading books, yoga, making new friends and meeting new people around the globe. I love to learn cultures of different places and to travel around the globe.

2. You organise events. Who or what inspired you to be an event organiser?

Jalwa was started in 2016 with a small gathering of girls and eventually entered into events with a passion to make new friends and also meet people. Organising events gave me a chance to follow my passion of designing what I had learned back in India.

3. What strategies do you employ to create memorable experiences for attendees and ensure they have a positive impression of the event?

Engagement of audience is very important for any event, the more the audience is engaged the more they feel valued, cherished, and have a memorable and enjoyable evening. At Jalwa it always begins with an ice breaker game where the audiences is involved to interact with each other and feel at ease. Jalwa started with a cocktail style party, that was the whole idea and has always got a variety of different experiences for the audience and our sponsors, supporters, family and friends.

4. Any tips for those wanting to enter the events business?

As every business, an event business does have its pros and cons, but staying focused on what you want and ignoring what doesn’t serve you, is the key. Look at the larger picture than the small bits and pieces. There are a few things to take into consideration: Identify your niche & audiences. Build a strong network. Provide excellent customer service and be a people’s person. Stay calm, focused and keep learning & improving as to how you can do better each day.

1. Can you tell us about your journey in the IT industry and how you manage to balance a demanding job with being a mom?

Balancing a career in IT with being a mom has been challenging yet incredibly rewarding.

It’s essential to have a support system in place, and I’m fortunate to have a network of friends and family who understand the demands of my multiple roles.

Music has always been a source of joy for me. I discovered my love for DJing during my college days, and over the years, it has evolved into a significant part of my life.

My advice would be to prioritize self-care and set realistic goals.

Find joy in your passions and make time for them, as they can be a source of strength and resilience. Stay focused on your goals, believe in yourself, and don’t be afraid to embrace your unique journey.

6. You’ve mentioned the importance of having a supportive network. How have your friends played a role in your journey, and can you share a specific instance where their support made a significant impact on your career or personal growth?

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have a network of friends who have been pillars of support throughout my journey. One close friend, in particular, has played a crucial role. She not only cheers me on during successes but, more importantly, acts as a constructive critic. She doesn’t shy away from pointing out my weaknesses and faults, pushing me to continuously improve. This blend of encouragement and constructive feedback has been instrumental in my personal and professional development. Having friends who accept you for who you are while challenging you to be your best self is invaluable.

7. Your upcoming event, Indo Folk House on December 30th, sounds intriguing. Can you tell us more about the concept behind it and what attendees can expect from this unique music experience?

The Ethical Power of Neuromarketing: Understanding and Serving Customer Needs

By Tiya Gorain

In the dynamic world of marketing, understanding consumer behavior has always been a top priority for brands and companies. Neuromarketing has emerged as a powerful tool that not only delves into the intricacies of the human mind but also seeks to do so in an ethical manner. This innovative field combines the principles of neuroscience and marketing to decipher the desires and needs of customers, allowing brands to serve them better. In this article, we will explore what neuromarketing is, and why it is ethical as it helps brands understand their customers more profoundly.

What is Neuromarketing?

Neuromarketing is a multidisciplinary field that combines neuroscience, psychology, and marketing to examine how consumers’ brains respond to various marketing stimuli. It delves into the subconscious processes that influence purchasing decisions, shedding light on the emotional and cognitive factors that drive consumer behavior. Through advanced techniques such as brain imaging, eye-tracking, and physiological measurements, neuromarketers can gain insights into how consumers react to advertisements, products, and branding.

Ethical Foundations of Neuromarketing

Neuromarketing is often questioned for its ethical implications, particularly concerning privacy and manipulation. However, when applied responsibly, neuromarketing can be a powerful tool for brands to better understand and serve their customers. Here’s why it is ethical:

• Informed Consent: Ethical neuromarketing studies prioritise obtaining informed consent from participants. Individuals willingly participate in these studies, knowing their data will be used to improve products and services. This transparency builds trust between brands and consumers.

• Improved User Experience: Neuromarketing can help brands create products and services that cater to the specific needs and desires of consumers. This results in an improved user experience, where customers receive what they genuinely want, thereby enhancing their satisfaction.

• Reduction of Unwanted Marketing: By understanding consumer preferences at a deeper level, brands can avoid bombarding customers with irrelevant or annoying advertisements. This, in turn, reduces the intrusion of unwanted marketing messages.

• Customised Offerings: Ethical neuromarketing leads to the development of personalised marketing strategies. Tailoring offers and recommendations based on individual preferences not only benefits customers but also reduces marketing waste.

• Ethical Advertising: Brands can use neuromarketing insights to create advertisements that are emotionally resonant and genuinely engaging. This leads to the creation of advertising that people find enjoyable, rather than manipulative.

Serving Customers Better

Neuromarketing provides brands with a unique opportunity to serve their customers better by understanding their needs and desires at a deep, subconscious level. Here’s how it helps:

• Product Development: Neuromarketing helps in the creation of products that align with consumers’ preferences, leading to more satisfying experiences.

• Targeted Marketing: By knowing what captures the attention of the target audience, brands can craft marketing campaigns that are more engaging and relevant.

• Enhanced User Experience: Through neuro insights, brands can improve the usability and design of their products or services, resulting in a more user-friendly experience.

• Efficient Advertising: Neuromarketing allows brands to allocate their advertising budgets more efficiently, ensuring that their messages reach the right audience.

Neuromarketing is an ethical and powerful tool for brands and companies to better understand and serve their customers. By responsibly leveraging the insights gained from this multidisciplinary field, businesses can create products, marketing strategies, and advertising campaigns that truly resonate with consumers. In doing so, they not only improve customer satisfaction but also build trust and foster long-lasting relationships with their target audience. The ethical power of neuromarketing lies in its ability to bridge the gap between businesses and their customers, ensuring that their needs and desires are at the forefront of all marketing efforts.

We recently organised a mesmerising floral photoshoot titled ‘Blossoming Beauty’, brought to life by the enchanting blooms of Wild Bunch Florist (https://www.wildbunch.florist). This collaboration between Wild Bunch Florist, She Magazine (https://www.shemagazine.com.au), Empowered BWB & Usana Australia (https://healthnutritionals.com.au) served as a breathtaking testament to the eternal connection between beauty, fashion, and the ever-inspiring power of flowers.

Real fresh flowers and delicate silk blossoms adorned the scene, forming a spectrum of colours that ranged from the gentlest pastel pinks to the most vibrant blues and deep maroons. These blooms, handpicked with precision, were more than just accessories; they were powerful symbols, reminding us of the inherent ability of flowers to elevate our spirits and radiate positivity.

Donning a graceful coral dress, Tiya Gorain (Ms Infinity Australia NSW & Ms Infinity Singapore) effortlessly harmonised with the surrounding flowers, enhancing their innate beauty.

In contrast to Tiya’s ethereal attire, the other ladies including Casey Zhang, Sarita Verma, Sony Sodhi, and Laila Yam, chose to wear dark outfits, creating a striking visual contrast that underscored the vibrant floral arrangements. This stark juxtaposition symbolized the duality of life itself – the interplay of light and darkness, joy and sorrow. It was a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, the presence of flowers can usher in positivity and hope, just as they did amidst the shadows of the photoshoot.

The photoshoot was a captivating portrayal of the enduring connection between women, nature, and the indomitable power of positivity. Through the lens of this enchanting floral photoshoot, a timeless message was beautifully conveyed: much like the flowers themselves, women possess an extraordinary ability to uplift, inspire, and radiate beauty, both within themselves and to the world.
