Published

on

The book will highlight the implementation process of the company’s mega-project “Online Azerbaijan” and its pivotal role in driving the country’s digital transformation.

Aztelekom, a telecommunications company within the Azerbaijan Transport and Communications Holding (AZCON Holding), will be featured in the inaugural Azerbaijani edition of Essentials of Modern Marketing (EOMM), the latest initiative by Kotler Impact, founded by the esteemed Dr. Philip Kotler, widely recognized as the father of modern marketing. The book will highlight the implementation process of the company’s mega-project “Online Azerbaijan” and its pivotal role in driving the country’s digital transformation.

As part of this global project spanning over 100 countries, the book series is designed with a unique approach tailored to each country, blending local business successes with international marketing principles. Having already launched in over 30 countries — including Italy, Brazil, Germany, Poland, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Georgia, Turkey, and many others — the book series has attracted significant international attention. The upcoming Azerbaijani edition will showcase the country’s business potential on the international stage and provide local business professionals with access to global expertise. AWE Consulting, the official representative of Kotler Impact in the CIS region and Azerbaijan, plays a pivotal role in facilitating this initiative locally. The book will be distributed internationally through electronic libraries and academic platforms.

Commenting on this prestigious recognition, Hasan Omarov, Acting General Director of the company, stated:

“Having our ‘Online Azerbaijan’ project featured in Kotler Impact’s publication is a great source of pride for us. This complex project has the potential to accelerate the country’s economic development, increase digital literacy, and enhance Azerbaijan’s investment attractiveness. At the same time, implementing a project of this scale has led to fundamental changes in ‘Aztelekom’s’ daily approach to work. Precise strategic goals, strong teamwork, and shared belief in a common purpose enabled the successful realization of this challenging project. Having the journey of our company during the implementation of this project reflected in the ‘Essentials of Modern Marketing’ book is both a significant achievement for us and an additional motivation to aim for higher goals.”

It is worth noting that Aztelekom, the main operator behind the successful implementation of the “Online Azerbaijan” mega-project, was recognized by Ookla with the Speedtest Award for Fastest Fixed Network. In addition, the renowned “IDATE” company, bringing 45 years of international expertise in digital transformation, awarded Aztelekom the Best Practice of Home Broadband Development Award. Both awards were presented to a fixed network internet provider for the first time in the country’s history. 

Also, Ookla, a global company specializing in connectivity intelligence, has published an article dedicated to the “Online Azerbaijan” project, implemented by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of Azerbaijan. 

Prepared based on research conducted by Ookla’s industry analyst Karim Yaici and independent third-party sources, Ookla demonstrated that the ‘Online Azerbaijan’ initiative effectively bridged the digital divide for a substantial portion of the rural population and drove significant improvements in national median broadband download speeds, including in key cities. 

The article notes that while the average internet speed in Azerbaijan was around 10 Mbps in 2020, this figure had risen to 73 Mbps by early 2025 and the article highlights that the project’s completion increased the fiber proportion of fixed broadband services to more than 93% at the beginning of 2025.

Mentorship Model Disrupts FMCG Sales Career Landscape with Proven One-on-One Growth Strategy

Published

on

FMCG Sales Careers Get a Bold Makeover with Disruptive One-on-One Mentorship Model – led by one of the most leading FMCG Sales Mentors and highly experienced mentor.

 In an industry that contributes to over 20% of India’s consumer market share, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector thrives on scale, velocity, growth. Yet, despite its robust performance, the career pipeline for thousands of field-level sales executives remains kind of underdeveloped—until now.

A new mentorship-led approach is quietly but steadily altering that trajectory. ICANTER FMCG SOLUTIONS, a  mentorship facility dedicated to FMCG sales executives founded in 2016, is capturing attention within industry circles for its differentiated model – personalized, one-on-one coaching for frontline FMCG sales professionals.

At a time when most companies rely on standard group training programs and automated LMS modules, ICANTER’s model is refreshingly analogue in its foundation but modern in application. It focuses on mentoring individual sales professionals—especially those in early to mid-career roles—with structured coaching aimed at unlocking career growth that has long been elusive for many in the industry.

Reimagining Career Mobility in Sales : India’s FMCG industry employs an estimated 100,000+ sales executives across urban and rural markets. However, around 3% of these frontline professionals progress to managerial positions like Area Sales Manager (ASM), often stalling in their careers by their late 30s.

ICANTER aims to reverse this trend through two targeted mentoring tracks:

·WIN-R (Transition into ASM Role) for sales executives aspiring for the role of an ASM

·ROA-R (Ready for RSM Role) for existing ASMs preparing to move into regional management roles

Unlike traditional classroom models, ICANTER’s framework is built on long-term mentorship, career diagnostics, and progress tracking. The impact? A reported 5X career progression success rate among mentees versus the industry average.

Let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth – An ICANTER mentee, Rahul Das who has recently been promoted to the role of an ASM of  Tata Consumer Products Ltd. renowned FMCG organization. “Always thought performance is the most important factor for professional growth till I joined ICANTER program.

Then I realized alongside performance, demonstrating the right behavior and building perception are critical for advancing from SE to ASM role. ICANTER helps bridge the gap between career reality and aspiration.

The modules direct us with a clear roadmap that support us not only to crack the ASM role but also excel in it”.

Another observation , this time from Nitin Saini,  CMO , India BU , of Mondelez International, globally famous FMCG organization : “ICANTER has grown into a phenomenal facility over the last 9 years. Great to see the vision has beautifully come together. While everyone talks about climbing the corporate managerial ladder, no one talks about one of the most difficult transitions that a sales executive has to make in order to become an ASM . ICANTER has done that very successfully over the years and made many dreams come true. My only wish and hope is that more people see the power of ICANTER and benefit from the personalized coaching and mentorship. Wishing ICANTER and its students much success in their professional life”.

In a bid to further elevate the sales profession, ICANTER is launching the ICANTER Sales Knight Awards (ICSKA) this September. Touted as one of the first recognition platforms exclusively for FMCG sales professionals below management levels, the initiative seeks to highlight and recognize real on-ground performers with a potential to become an ASM.

While most corporate awards focus on marketing, innovation, or top-level strategy, ICSKA is focused on those driving category execution, market growth, and route-to-market implementation in a highly competitive environment.  ICANTER’s founder, who brings over four decades of experience in India’s FMCG landscape, believes that the awards are meant to shift the employability and career prospects to newer heights.

“Any FMCG organization is as good as their frontline field force and once the channel partners are aligned with the big bets , scorecard will start racing. Sales executives have remained the unsung champions in brand growth. It’s time to give them the fitness and recognition that can drive both the targeted goals of the organizations and support their career” –   founder of ICANTER Gautam Gupta shared during a roundtable on capability building.

In India , FMCG organizations are relentlessly looking for superior service and store efficiency to gain on distribution and market share and therefore , enhancing frontline sales force capability stays as  a top agenda and exactly here ICANTER presents a clear opportunity for collaboration , such as –

Potential partnerships could focus on:

·Developing managerial pipelines from the field level

·Supplementing internal capability programs with individualized coaching

·Retention-focused mentoring for under-30s in high-turnover regions

·Building the “Beginners” and convert them into “Experts”

With industry-wide attrition hovering around 18–20% annually in sales roles, such partnerships could yield strong ROI not only in retention but also in performance and engagement.  What ICANTER brings to the table is not just an intervention—but a philosophical realignment of how field sales roles are perceived in India, Sales roles are often treated as the “Second” or “Third” choice while Marketing roles remain the top choice all along. Confirmation is easy on this once you quiz the students from B-schools.

 By equipping professionals with clarity, coaching, and confidence, ICANTER positions sales not just as a job, but as a serious, long-term professional path. That, say industry insiders, is the kind of mindset shift the FMCG sector has needed for years.

As talent demands evolve and India becomes a focal point of global consumption growth, the capacity to retain and nurture skilled field talent could become a defining edge for future-ready FMCG companies.

Press Release

Who Is Artur Grandi Uncovering the Mind Fueling a Global Financial Rethink

Published

on

Curious about the man behind the movement, we launched an independent investigation—and what we uncovered was both unexpected and compelling.

When Grand Time was released in 2023, few anticipated the wave of attention it would generate. The book rapidly climbed bestseller lists and began circulating in high-level conversations among investors, futurists, and technologists across Silicon Valley—home to innovators like Apple, Tesla, and Meta. Its author, Artur Grandi, lays out a bold, human-centered economic vision that directly challenges the foundations of today’s financial system.

So who is Artur Grandi—and why is his message striking such a chord?

From Sochi to Silicon Valley

Born in 1974 in the resort city of Sochi, Russia, Artur Grandi was originally known as Artur Zeitunian. In 1991, he enrolled at Rostov State Transport University, where he earned a degree in economics before returning to Sochi to launch his career as an entrepreneur.

His early work focused on improving local living conditions. First, he took over his father’s stake in a real estate firm, then launched several ventures aimed at addressing civic and infrastructure issues. In 1997, he assumed a leadership role in AO Sfera, a joint-stock company managing residential properties. At the time, the company was involved in a legal dispute over unauthorized apartment occupancy. In a widely publicized decision, Zeitunian refused to evict the residents, stating:

“If these people have even a 1% legal claim to this housing, we should let them stay.”

As a result, more than 30 families became legal homeowners—an uncommon gesture of goodwill in Russia’s post-Soviet business landscape.

Building a Business Empire

In 1998, Zeitunian founded his first company, SochiGrandStroy LLC, which focused on modernizing the city’s infrastructure and public services. Over the next decade, he expanded into multiple sectors:

  • In 2005, he launched Chisty Dvorik (“Clean Courtyard”), focused on sanitation and environmental services.
  • That same year, he founded REO-16, which managed residential buildings and public utilities.
  • In 2006, he moved into construction and raw materials extraction.
  • By 2008, he owned the property management firm BIC and co-owned a company specializing in building materials and plumbing supplies.

Zeitunian’s vision consistently blended entrepreneurship with a civic-minded purpose, reflecting his long-standing belief that business should serve the public good.

Philanthropy and Civic Legacy

Beyond business, Zeitunian was deeply involved in community development. He created a youth football club, Sochi Riviera, which still operates today and ranks highly in regional competitions. He also funded a free city newspaper, Sochi Boulevard, which provided public service announcements and local news to residents.

A devout supporter of both the Armenian and Orthodox Christian communities, he financed church construction and maintained close ties with local clergy. It was during these years that his financial philosophy began to take shape—rooted in dignity, inclusion, and systemic transformation.

Collapse and Reinvention

In 2009, SochiGrandStroy—then a major utility provider—was declared bankrupt. The company owed approximately 200 million rubles (around $2.5 million), but was itself owed more than 1.3 billion rubles (approximately $16.5 million) by the city administration. A legal battle ensued and stretched over nearly eight years. Despite independent audits confirming the city’s debts, the courts ultimately ruled against the company.

Following the collapse, Zeitunian moved to Moscow and launched a nonprofit, Support for Honest Entrepreneurs, which remains active today in the software and telecommunications space. The legal and political fallout prompted a dramatic shift: he emigrated to California, adopted the name Artur Grandi, and began planting the seeds for what would become Grand Time.

The Grand Time Vision

Over the next six years, Grandi immersed himself in Silicon Valley’s startup and investment ecosystem. He studied financial structures, venture capital trends, and macroeconomic models—and came to a sobering conclusion: the current system is fundamentally unsustainable.

In 2023, he published Grand Time, a manifesto for a new economic paradigm. Its core ideas include:

  • Money should serve people—not the other way around.
  • Every person deserves financial security.
  • Daily human activity creates value—and that value should be compensated.

Written in plain, accessible language, Grand Time lays out a framework for a more equitable future—one not dependent on governments, centralized capital, or violent upheaval. Instead, it imagines an economy driven by technology, community action, and moral clarity.

A Growing Global Movement

Grandi’s ideas have inspired a rapidly expanding movement. A foundation has been established to promote equitable resource distribution, and the first digital assets—Grand tokens—have already launched. These tokens are designed to serve as the foundation of a new financial model grounded in transparency, inclusion, and shared prosperity.

“We’re not here to overthrow the system,” Grandi says. “We’re here to humanize it.”

Whether Grand Time evolves into a catalyst for global reform or remains a visionary outlier is yet to be seen. But one thing is clear: Artur Grandi is no longer just a name on a book cover. He’s emerging as a serious voice in the growing conversation about the future of money.
