About theme

Each organisation needs to transform to stay relevant and to grow over a period of time. Many a times the transformation journey is internalised, yet sudden and exceptional events such as the Covid-crisis act as catalyst to transverse onto the journey of modernisation and resilience.

The corporate sector has responded very well to this adversity and has not allowed the operations and supply chains to collapse. The employee welfare has taken welfare and so has the care for stakeholders of business and community at large There are lessons to be learnt and good practices to be shared. Without exception each department of the organisation be it production, quality control, logistics, finance, HR, Marketing, Sales and Service have risen to the occasion and devised ways and means to keep the customer and the business running. Another development has been focus of the businesses towards Business Responsibility with every organisation working to help communities at large through innovation in their own and related lines of business. News of PPE Kits, ventilators, temporary shelters, opening of the premises to offer shelter and food to the affected have made for pleasant reading.
