INCOMPETENCIES AND SHALLOW RANTINGS DO NOT USHER IN GROWTH - the Tata conglomerate has lost its manufacturing mojo, the software ministrations are mundane and largely too inconsequential in the quality of offerings to have an impact on the fast changing field of intellect driven products and finally, the proclivities to master everything from salt to aviation has proved to be delusional at its best! The Tata conglomerate is fast emerging a dinosaur and the writing is on the wall especially since they can no longer make quality steel at the lowest energy density, cannot make passenger vehicles competitively or even competently and commercial vehicles are not innovating to create standards. The sink is visible afar and even the iceberg is emerging in view. Five years on, this will become history and the epitaph shall be writ large in black and white; no colors anywhere! Sad! extremely sad! so much about the growth narrative being touted around! impossibly delayed for any revival hopes! DEBT IS UNMANAGEABLY LARGE WITH NNW - negative net worth conditions imminent and with no reparation or course corrections in sight or even in the team of feasibility!

This month we have Radhika Merchant Ambani and Anjali Majithia together with their father Viren Merchant who are working on tech first approach for Encore Healthcare and are adding manufacturing capabilities to provide affordable healthcare to India and Bharat. This issue also marks the special edition of "The Makers Co" which is now in its 4th year. While tech startups have been fumbling in the post pandemic era with sectors like edtech and Web3 seeing negative growth. However, D2C brands have proven their resilience time and again by staying steadfast in the digital front and now when also going omnichannel and marking their presence in offline retail.

DEATH KNELL HISTRIONICS - the mirage of pseudo growth The IT Opportunities are now part of a nebulous mirage of ill perceived growth. Foundations of growth in contextual businesses hinge on the capacities to innovate, reengineer solutions and extrapolate opportunities at the frontiers of the unknown. These attributes have been largely non-existent in the industry during the boom years. Consequently, there aren't any opportunities anymore; only one moribund outcomes populate probabilistic densities. The industry missed to bus in innovating in the ML-AI space for innovating in two major areas of convergence of opportunities: Opportunity 1: Process Automation for qualitative decision making and predicting enabled cost sheets to drive profitability in manufacturing across domains Opportunity 2: ML driven AI algorithms for diagnostics and treatment protocols in the oncological space; in effect the continued vacuum in treatment pathways snuff off millions of lives. Opportunity 3: Traffic safety and predictive preventions of fatalities in the road safety protocols that can be substantially improved. IT industry needs to work on applications driven outcomes and build cross functional teams with diverse expertise in building the above solutions. Working differently could help the industry achieve more. However, that looks an impossible expectation as of now. Shenanigans and grandstanding sets apart actions from conceptualizations. The IT industry is on critical life support system as of now with the mortuary and funeral sequential events looming large! By the way, who cares anyway? https://lnkd.in/di4a7tww

GCCs have proven to be incubation centers for tech innovation and are the growth engines for Indian economy. With GCCs playing more and more pivotal role in handling high-value strategic functions, they are increasingly taking complete ownership of entire business processes, from research to conceptualization to execution to results. GCCs are highly integrated into the Global operations with more and more Global roles transitioning to GCCs. Given a prolific growth of GCCs in numbers, impact and out-reach, their role in leading tech disruptions for meaningful outcomes becomes imperative. During the GCC Conclave 2024 by nasscom, I was glad to hear perspectives from industry leaders on the above and many more aspects like Talent, Leadership, Inclusion, Governance, Risks, Sustainability, Agility, Culture, Partnerships etc.. 👉 I had great time conversing with women GCC leaders during the Round Table Discussion on "Building the Next Generation of Women GCC Leaders". How can we solve some fundamental challenges that women face on their path to becoming GCC Leaders. Learnt greatly from Mamatha Madireddy, Veena Rao, Manu Dangi, Sangeeta Kumar, Sheenam Ohrie (also from her talk later), Anahita Tiwari, Anitha Scaria George, Lalitha Indrakanti, Shalini Pillay, Mohua Sengupta, Monica S Pirgal, Mukta Arora, Nathalie Bernardo, Rachana Bahadur and Leenika Khattar 👉 It was a privilege to hear Marshall Goldsmith during a fire-side chat chaired by Srikanth Velamakanni on the topic "Level Up! Yesterday's Strategies Won't Define Tomorrow's Success". He brought the human/spiritual side of executive leadership, which was not only informative, but also very refreshing to listen to. 👉 I had the opportunity to moderate a conversation on the topic of "Disruption from Within: Leveraging Tech as a Lever" with esteemed industry leaders - Anil Yadav, Sachin Kulkarni and Raphael Viard We did touch upon areas like - how tech is playing a key role in enabling GCCs to be differentiators, how are GCCs navigating the challenges that they are facing in driving tech adoption towards business value generation and how continuous technology innovation can be made possible via GCCs to unearth new avenues of growth & success. Thanks nasscom for this opportunity - Bidisha Rudra, Sandeep Bahl, Leenika Khattar #GCCConclave2024 #nasscom #GCC

I recently spoke to BusinessToday on the critical funding challenges faced by MSMEs in India. Despite their significant contribution to the economy, many MSMEs struggle to attract investment due to perceived lack of innovation. Our journey at Foodkraft exemplifies how shifting our mindset and embracing new strategies can make a difference. I discuss the need for special funds for SMEs and the importance of tackling delayed payments to improve working capital. These measures are crucial for sustaining growth and attracting investment in the sector. To delve deeper and explore potential solutions, read the full article here. https://lnkd.in/dsydzMQs #MSME #FundingChallenges #BusinessGrowth #Innovation #Investment #EconomicDevelopment
