The academic excellence of an institute is known by how rudimentary and relevant knowledge is disseminated among scholars enabling them to sculpt the future of their own and of society. However, keeping industry practices inducted with this idea always leads to the making of great business leaders. In anticipation of this Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies NOIDA, launched a series of Webinar on Leaders Insights on Future Market Trends and its first chapter was inaugurated by Mr. Deepak Gupta, (Group Head- Human Resource & CHRO) Karvy Global Services on 22nd June 2020. Mr. Gupta shared his corporate journey where he mentioned his first experience of working in the Chemical Industry and then moving ahead in the Financial Sector.

In the present state where everyone is seeing a tough time how to manage your workforce motivation and other challenges, Mr. Deepak mentioned that it's very important for all to stay positive and happy because nothing is everlasting, challenges come and go but people remain there. This reminds a very famous saying of Dale Carnegie “Tough Times never last, but tough people do”

Chapter-2: Facing Business Uncertainties

To help companies traverse fickle business patterns as trade barriers and tariffs are being vulnerable, keep on invoking and revoking. The market practitioners in commercial excellence solutions are continuously guiding and advising managers on to how face this uncertainty and survive in these tough times.

The webinar ended with taking learning from the session as referred by Tony Schwartz; “Let go of certainty. The opposite isn't uncertainty.

Going for the semester exchange program gave me a wide variety of experiences and emotions which I wouldn't have experienced otherwise, all thanks to SCMS NOIDA. ”

So, it emerges out to be a crucial point to take into glance the customer-centric approach while the business around the world is shifting in the digital era. The goal of any digital transformation should be to create a digital business model that leads to connected, cohesive customer-centric experiences across business units. To provide relevant and insightful understanding about this approach the Internationalization Cell at SCMS NOIDA organized a webinar on “Customer-Centric Digital Transformation” on May 06, 2021, which was a part of the Global talk, Series “Management Practices in Industry 4.0”.

She shared to the audience that she was the founder and CEO of TRI Management Consulting, where the vision of the company was engraved in its name i.e. T for Trust, R for Respect and I for Integrity. She then discussed about Customer-Centric approach in business. She divided the customers into three subheads namely Internal, External and Organic customers. She explained the need of building a balance between the customer expectations and the interaction from the organization to keep the relationship in alignment. To showcase that vividly, she explained a case study of a restaurant that provides fast service at very reasonable rates. So, what she implied from that is the expectations from the customer is a fast service and an okay kind of food from the restaurant so, the restaurant doesn’t have to focus on other things as it is already reaching the customers' expectations. The ultimate gist from this case study was to keep the expectations and offering into alignment which eventually leads to customer satisfaction. After that, she discussed the importance of a customer-centric approach in today’s world. She claimed that being customer-centric breeds loyalty among the customers and with that edge, if a business can be agile with new situations and differentiate itself in the market, they have a very good room for growth. The robust claim she had was no matter how much we are into the technology we are still humans, and we always want to feel the real stuff. The business should focus on the storytelling for their offering so that it resonates with the customers. The one who is good at storytelling, keeping themselves in the shoes of customers excels. Ms. Mavis then explained about the shift of the world to the internet for buying product because of the pandemic. So, as the world has been altering its form of interaction with business, it's high time to re-strategize the business models to remain competitive in the market. She also threw some light in the service design blueprint on how the business can use the design thinking and process accordingly to provide a seamless user experience to the customers.

The webinar provided very deep insights and understanding about the need for a customer-centric approach with the rapid digital transformation going around. Ms. Mavis very precisely demonstrated how customer-centric approach ca be taken and why it is very crucial in today’s world. She stressed the importance of building strategics that aligns with the expectation of the customers so that they can be satisfied. With exponential digitalization, the business entities will be in the quest to attract as many customers as possible, so the one who will do storytelling that completely resonates with customers is the one who got the market.

It is the time that employers have to rethink their priorities in regards to their organisations and if the need arises they should not restrain themselves from even changing their business model. However, before implementing the change, the organisations should think about the impact on the audience who would be affected by the change. Besides, he further enlightened the students about the 3 Ws- work, workplace and workforce.

Throughout his talk he laid the emphasis on taking care of the employees and how organisations should empower them to make their own choices and decisions.He stressed that the success of an organisation is dependent upon the capabilities of its employees. Therefore, there should be a strong focus on soft skills and showing appreciation to employees.

While concluding, he said that organisations should not follow the one size fits all approach. According to him there are no best practices because what worked for one organisation might not necessarily work for the other company as well. Therefore, organisations should work on finding the difference between the future and the present needs and bridge the gap. They will also have to accept that a lot of things that are there right now will not work in the future. So they should work on finding what works for their organisation and what does not.
