Rajiv Bajaj's perspective on upstarts highlights the unsustainable practices some emerging companies adopt to gain quick traction. A burn strategy might offer short-term visibility, but it often sacrifices long-term value, innovation, and credibility. His point is a strong reminder that a "build strategy" is essential for enduring success and market leadership. Source: Business Standard

Exactly 4 years ago, we were emerging from the 1st wave of COVID. I recall being part of a webinar with the Indian School of Business Hyderabad on #Sales #Incentives. In that session, I highlighted key insights on the future direction of organizations in the coming decade: - Bigger push in shifting towards system-dependent processes over person-dependent ones, leading to a significant surge in IT investments. - A heightened focus on enhancing employee productivity, prompting the widespread adoption of performance management systems by mid-size and large companies. - Emphasizing the automation of sales processes post the 2020 COVID-induced slowdown, aimed at incentivizing sales teams and driving organizational sales. I emphasized the critical role of system of records like #CRM, #DMS, #LMS, in addition to sales #performance management tools such as #incentive automation and #skill enhancement tools. But my recent discussions with #CTOs and #CSOs in India reveal that many companies are still grappling with managing system of records, highlighting an area that demands immediate attention and transformation.

📊 Revolutionizing the Auto Industry: FADA and Frost & Sullivan Launch Comprehensive Customer Experience Survey 🚗 India's auto sector is booming, with massive growth being witnessed across the country. However, one of the biggest challenges that persists is ensuring consistent customer experience, especially in after-sales service. Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations in partnership with Frost & Sullivan, is taking a significant step to address this issue with a new customer experience index study, aiming to pinpoint areas for improvement across three key domains: - Sales Journey 🚘 - After-Sales Service 🔧 - Product Quality ⭐ What sets this survey apart is its innovative approach. Instead of gathering samples through dealers or carmakers, they're collecting 8,000 blind samples from people in shopping malls, cinema halls, hotels, and restaurants across 26 cities. This ensures the insights are unbiased and reflect the true voices of Indian car owners. 🎯 The survey focuses on recent car buyers and those who have owned cars for a few years, offering a comprehensive perspective on the customer journey. They'll also be examining the impact of advanced features like sunroofs 🌞 and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). 🚀 The results will be released in August 2024, providing valuable insights into customer needs that will help transform the customer experience with Indian automakers and dealer networks. It's an amazing initiative that could drive a positive shift in the Indian auto sector, ultimately benefiting both customers and the industry. 🏎️💨 Thoughts ?? #AutoIndustry #CustomerExperience #CustomerSatisfaction #AutoDealers

Although adoption of AI in India is still maturing compared to global markets, this year's 52% growth rate in the pharmaceutical & healthcare sectors signals a promising future for innovation in the nation! With India being the second most populous country, it is only AI that can help manage vast amounts of data efficiently, accelerating the pace and quality of clinical trials, Rx drug development, and personalized patient care. By automating routine tasks, such as interpreting patient’s medical histories and enhancing disease diagnosis through predictive analytics, AI can reduce costs and improve treatment outcomes, ultimately transforming the healthcare landscape in a nation with immense healthcare demands. https://lnkd.in/g4Ei3W2v #healthcare #AI #India #patientdata #HCPdata
