India is fast becoming the epicenter for global leadership.   Global Capability Centers (GCCs) across India have seen a staggering 120X rise in global roles over the past decade. The country now boasts over 5,000 such senior positions steering decision making for their Global HQs.   “This transformation is due to the maturing capabilities of India’s centers of excellence and how technology has enabled deeper data-driven customer insights,” notes Pari Natarajan CEO of Zinnov in today's The Times Of India feature.   Key to this seismic shift is a rich talent pool of digital, engineering, and leadership skills. As global companies concentrate more critical responsibilities in India across R&D, services, and customer-facing functions, they are also elevating leaders in the country to drive organization-wide strategy.   We believe that India is aggressively staking its claim as a global hub for innovation, talent, and leadership. We expect the rise to continue as India cements its status as the epicenter of global leadership. Sujit John | Sarv Saravanan | Chitra Sukumar | Vishal Bhasin #India #GCC #Leadership #talent

From Cog to Captain: Unlocking 10X Mindset - In a world where #innovation is currency, why do some tech leaders soar while others don't? The answer lies not in algorithms or gadgets but in the mind. At #ZinnovConfluence 2024, industry titans peeled back the layers of the 'ownership mindset'—a psychological force that transforms managers into visionaries, and employees into #intrapreneurs. Here are some key takeaways 👇 1. Ownership Supercharges #Performance When folks feel they "own" their work, satisfaction soars, and burnout plummets - turning employees into Intrapreneurs. 2. The #Autonomy Tightrope Great leaders know the secret sauce: Give freedom but keep guardrails. It works wonders in both project sprints and product marathons.   3. #Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast Leaders play a pivotal role in cultivating a culture of ownership. This involves creating an environment where employees feel valued, their voices are heard, and well-intentioned failure is accepted as part of the innovation process. Bottom line: This session is your blueprint for unleashing dormant potential. Shantanu Chakraborty | Deepak Visweswaraiah | Srivardhini K.

What kind of leader does it take to build a billion-dollar business?   At #ZinnovConfluence 2024, a thought-provoking discussion took center stage, exploring the traits of a 10X leader and the key drivers of sustained growth. Sandeep Kalra, CEO and Executive Director of Persistent Systems, engaged in an insightful conversation with Pari Natarajan, CEO of Zinnov, delving into this critical subject.   Sandeep shared his journey, highlighting several key points that have shaped his leadership philosophy:   ◾ Customer-Centricity: Understanding and exceeding customer needs is crucial for building trust and securing large deals. In tech services, this customer-first mindset is vital for repeat business and referrals.   ◾ Execution Excellence: While strategy matters, passionate and consistent execution truly differentiates companies. Persistent's success is credited to relentless execution and continuous improvement, not just strategic planning.   ◾ Fostering Entrepreneurial Spirit: Aspiring leaders should step out of their comfort zones, prioritize execution over perfection, and continuously learn from customers. This approach cultivates innovation and agility essential in today's fast-paced business environment.   This engaging dialogue offered invaluable insights for leaders at all stages of their journey.
