Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a two-day conclave organized by #IIMLucknow (Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow) and Imarticus Learning, where I engaged with some of the brightest minds in the industry. It was an amazing exchange of ideas that truly highlighted the power of #collaboration and #innovation in this dynamic #technology-driven era. I was happy to share the #CMO panel with Balaaji Vaidyanathan, FCIM, where we delved into the multifaceted challenges that CMOs face within organizations today. Our discussions centered around how marketing can serve as a driving force to accelerate growth in the digital era. One of the key takeaways from our session was the importance of #storytelling. We explored how a well-structured message, tailored to the right audience and delivered through the appropriate channels, can effectively communicate the core agenda. This aligns perfectly with my belief in the significance of clear communication in achieving business objectives. The concept of STP – Segmenting, Targeting, and Positioning – was reiterated by Prof. Sabyasachi Sinha, reminding us that these principles remain the cornerstone of successful marketing strategies. A heartfelt thank you to Harish Thakkar, Sridhar Nagarajachar, Ritesh Singh, Apurva Sheth, Nidhi Bagla, and the entire team at #IIMLucknow and Imarticus Learning for organizing such an impactful event focused on leadership, innovation, and empowerment. It’s inspiring to witness the commitment to developing talent and fostering insightful discussions and I must say that you guys are doing a great job. As I continue my professional journey, I am excited to apply these insights and collaborate with others to drive meaningful change in our organizations. Let’s keep the conversation going! #Leadership #Marketing #Innovation #Storytelling #Communication #ProfessionalDevelopment #Networking #Collaboration

Receiving feedback used to be a real struggle for me (you’re not alone, we all struggle with this!) But ever since I started coaching and applying these methods, I’ve genuinely gotten better. Now, I don’t feel so rotten after being criticised. Next time you feel awful after hearing negative feedback, try these tips: 1. Pause and breathe: Take a moment to process before reacting. 2. Ask for specifics: Understanding details helps improve. 3. Stay positive: Focus on constructive elements to turn criticism into growth. I’ll be covering this and much more tomorrow at my event with Grow Pune on mastering communication for curveball scenarios at the beautiful Inar Design Furniture store! See you #Pune ! #Feedback #PersonalGrowth #Coaching #Improvement #Resilience #CommunicationSkills #ProfessionalDevelopment #Leadership #SelfImprovement #CareerGrowth

Xavier Institute of Management(XIM Bhubaneswar) recently hosted an enriching leadership talk by Mr. Venkat Ramanan, Associate Vice President, and Mr. Aloy Nandan Das Mahapatra, Senior Consultant at Avalon Consulting. The session was on Delivering Great Customer Experience - Why should it be everyone’s business and the speakers spoke about why this has become such an important aspect for organizations today.  Mr. Venkat emphasized that a customer-centric culture is the bedrock of superior CX. Empowering employees with training, tools, and autonomy fosters proactive problem-solving. An organization’s success isn’t just in technological advancements but in nurturing a culture that prioritizes customer needs at every step. Metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), Customer Effort Score (CES), and Retention Rates are crucial. These metrics offer insights into Customer Loyalty, Satisfaction, Ease of Interaction, and the Likelihood of Repeat business. Superior CX is not solely the responsibility of the Frontline Sales or Customer Service teams but also that of support functions such as Finance, HR, IT and Operations. While the front end teams face customers, the support functions impact pivotal activities in processes making or breaking CX (Customer Experience). Therefore, accountability lies across the entire value chain. Students also learned about Avalon Consulting and how they adopt their own proprietary frameworks to help clients navigate the world of CX. Inter alia, the firm’s approach integrates Customer touchpoints, Employee Empowerment, Technology, and Data Analytics. By aligning these elements, Avalon Consulting creates seamless, personalized, and consistent experiences for clients, thereby facilitating strong Customer Loyalty. In conclusion, a robust CX strategy goes beyond superficial measures. It demands a cohesive framework, inclusion of all departments, coupled with an organizational commitment to customer-centricity. Each stakeholder, irrespective of their role, holds a slice of responsibility in delivering unparalleled CX. We express our gratitude to Venkat and Aloy Sir for honoring us with his presence at Xcelsior 3.0 and generously sharing his valuable insights and experiences with our dear students. #Xcelsior3.0 #XIMBhubaneswar #XIMUniversity #LeadershipTalk #Leaders #Leadership
