  1. What is your core strength as a leader?

In my current role at SAP, I drive the company’s largest and deepest customer relationships in the Indian subcontinent. One of the key drivers that I believe, helps me to succeed as a leader, is the ability to build strong relationships backed by deep domain expertise, attained over two decades in the industry. Having led many first-of-a-kind technology implementations in India and emerging markets has helped me learn from tough situations and hone my knowledge and skills to work alongside SAP’s top customers to ensure their success.

  1. What kind of major decisions have you taken that have changed the future of the organization?

In my current role, I work alongside SAP’s top customers to collaborate & co-innovate and make decisions in the areas of digital and cloud transformation. We are taking forward SAP India’s 20-year strong legacy in the Indian market by strengthening our relationship with our customers in the country. It would be difficult to zero down to one major decision, as with every customer interaction that we garner out of our engagement, we hope to provide a fresh perspective, move closer to resolution of core business issues as well as partner with them as the technology partner of choice.

  1. What are your views on the growth of Indian IT market landscape?

The Indian IT industry is amidst a phase of continuous disruption thanks to technologies such as IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence, Blockchain and others. Driving this growth are large enterprises that have recognized the competitive advantage by adoption of these next generation technology. I firmly believe that this digital disruption has a profound impact on not just the technology sector but the whole economy itself. How quickly individual organisations respond, and the manner of that response, will determine their success in the years to come.
