In a world where workplace dynamics evolve at lightning speed, with inclusivity, diversity, and the shifting face of leadership reshaping how we operate, the upcoming episode of IntueriTalk, “Mind to Mind Synapses - Ignite or Explode. Cohesion, Collaboration, Cultivation: Driving Enterprise Neural Connectivity.”, offers a powerful exploration into culture, leadership, and connection.

This episode dives into the heart of building transformational teams and developing leaders who aren’t just fit for today but ready to shape the future. In an era where Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha professionals prioritise purpose over paychecks and crave genuine impact, we’ll explore what it takes to build an adaptive, resilient culture that welcomes change.

Join our guests, Yael Leinman and Indranil Das, —two seasoned pioneers in leadership and cultural transformation—as they share decades of insight. They'll unpack the “whys” and “hows” of bridging the divide between lofty organisational visions and the daily realities faced by teams, with a focus on creating trust, fostering collaboration, and igniting shared purpose.

Prepare to engage with the critical question: Why do 70% of transformation efforts miss the mark? And what strategies can leaders adopt to defy these odds? From the secrets of fostering an environment where people connect deeply and work with intention to practical advice for navigating relentless change, this episode promises an enlightening journey.

Tune in to ignite a shift in your perspective and perhaps, within your organisation.

The way we work, lead, and connect has transformed in ways we couldn't have imagined a few years ago. With the rise of Gen-AI, hybrid work models, and shifting workforce values, today’s organisations face both new opportunities and unique challenges. Studies show that 70% of transformation efforts falter, often due to weak ex*****on, resistance to change, and a lack of cultural cohesion. The need for adaptable, inspiring leaders and resilient teams has never been more pressing.

As Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha enter the workforce, they bring fresh perspectives and prioritise purpose and impact. Over 60% of employees now seek meaningful work over a paycheck alone, pushing companies to redefine their vision, values, and approaches to leadership. Balancing these expectations presents its own complexities, from maintaining team cohesion to managing the stress of relentless change.

In our experiences of driving organisations through transformations, we have found that resilient organisations are built on trust, connectedness, and shared purpose. Leaders who can inspire and align their teams with a common vision are better equipped to guide their organisations through change—and to help their people not just work together, but truly thrive. Cohesive cultures and adaptable teams are the difference-makers in a world of continuous transformation.

Explore how we can cultivate a culture that adapts to rapid changes, develop leaders who are ready to meet tomorrow’s challenges and create environments where teams don’t just work together but thrive together: https://lnkd.in/dVYcQmeu

Managing Geopolitical Risk for Indian Corporates

In today's volatile global landscape, geopolitical risks have become a critical determinant of business strategy, especially for Indian corporations navigating complex international waters. Our latest whitepaper, "A Menu-based Approach in Handling Geopolitical Risks: Challenges Facing Indian Corporates and a Way Ahead," offers a comprehensive framework to address these challenges and seize emerging opportunities.

The paper, authored by Surbhi Sharma, Intueri Consulting, Partha Ray, Director, National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM,Pune), and Biju Paul Abraham, Professor, Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, emphasizes the urgency for Indian firms to adopt a nuanced approach to geopolitical risk management. It builds on De Villa's six-step multi-level framework, underscoring the interplay between domestic and foreign policies.

Key highlights of the paper:

Geopolitical Risks in Corporate Strategy: The paper delves into how geopolitical factors influence corporate decisions, contrasting the unique challenges faced by Indian firms with the experiences of Western companies.

Emerging Market Complexities: Indian firms often operate under dual influences—domestic policies and the geopolitical stances of foreign governments. The paper illustrates this duality through the experiences of Indian corporations dealing with Russia amidst the Ukraine conflict.

Sectoral Impact: The whitepaper provides a sector-wise analysis of geopolitical risks, focusing on the energy trade, investments, and operational disruptions. It highlights how India's neutral stance on the Ukraine conflict has benefited its energy sector.

Case Studies: Through detailed case studies, the paper examines the varied impacts of geopolitical events on Indian firms.

The whitepaper proposes a robust framework for managing geopolitical risks, tailored to the needs of Indian corporates. It suggests a multi-level approach, assessing risks at supranational, international, national, industry, and firm levels. By adopting this framework, Indian corporates can enhance their strategic resilience and capitalize on new opportunities in a rapidly changing world.

India’s economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience, outpacing the G20 average with a robust 7.8% expansion in 2023–24. This growth, achieved against a challenging global economic backdrop, underscores India’s potential on the world stage. However, the OECD predicts a slight deceleration to 6.6% in FY 2024–25, influenced by global economic factors.

As India’s working-age population peaks by 2030, we are presented with a pivotal opportunity. Harnessing this demographic dividend is essential for driving sustained economic growth and securing a prosperous future. However, despite a 40% rise in GDP per capita between 2014 and 2022, India faces unprecedented levels of inequality. This stark disparity poses a formidable challenge: How do we transform economic growth into productive employment and address wealth inequality effectively? The urgency and necessity of this challenge demand innovative and strategic solutions.

At the recent CII Annual Conference following AGM 24, ministers and senior bureaucrats highlighted the ambition of achieving a GDP of 37-40 trillion USD. To realise this, we must examine sector-specific GDP-to-unemployment ratios and develop strategies to address these disparities. It's imperative to help organisations generate more employment opportunities without compromising profitability. The conference emphasised the need for export-driven growth and trade liberalisation through more Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Achieving these goals requires substantial product quality improvement, necessitating significant workforce skill enhancement.

Reaching and sustaining such GDP levels while demonstrating resilience against geopolitical, technological, and environmental shocks demands a workforce with advanced skills and competencies. This is where Intueri steps in.

Intueri is at the forefront of addressing these challenges. We collaborate with corporations to develop comprehensive Growth Plans that align with skill needs and competency identification for upskilling. Our initiatives, driven by both government policies and corporate strategies, are designed to be highly innovative. Educational institutions will also play a crucial role in this ecosystem, ensuring the workforce is prepared for future demands.

By fostering a synergy between economic growth and skill development, we aim to create a robust and resilient economy capable of withstanding future challenges. At Intueri, we are unwaveringly dedicated to transforming these ambitious visions into reality. This commitment should reassure our audience about the effectiveness of our proposed strategies.

ORF Kolkata is hosting an event India Employed: The Road to 2030, on the transforming employment landscape of India which will delve into sectors fuelling India's job market, maximising the demographic dividend for economic growth, and the policy shifts required for sustainable employment.

We are to participate and be on panels to collect thoughts from analysts working there.

INDIA EMPLOYED: THE ROAD TO 2030

The Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA), India's third-largest urban agglomeration with a population of approximately 20 million, boasts a GDP of $160 billion. The Hooghly River has historically been central to the region's spatial planning and economic growth. However, the river currently poses challenges to the development of efficient freight and passenger transport systems.

In a project funded by a multinational development bank, Intueri is working to revitalise the Hooghly Riverfront. This initiative includes modernising ghats, enhancing resilience, implementing robust disaster management strategies, improving aesthetics to boost tourism, and promoting local economic development along the riverbank in KMA. Drawing inspiration from successful international riverfront developments like the Cheonggyecheon Stream Restoration in Seoul, HafenCity waterfront in Hamburg, the Rhine Riverfront in Düsseldorf, the Thames Riverfront in London, and the Yangtze Riverfront in Wuhan, among others, Intueri aims to help in transforming the Hooghly Riverfront.

Intueri estimates that the riverfront development will yield an economic benefit of $1.18 billion over a 30-year period. By diverting traffic to Inland Water Transport (IWT) services, the average travel distance is expected to decrease by 9.23 km and travel time by 25 minutes, easing congestion and enhancing logistics. The project will also help formalise a part of KMA’s unorganised labour, enhance resilience against floods, river erosion, and waterlogging, and support tourism-dependent livelihoods through the aesthetic uplift of the riverfront.

For thoughts and suggestions on this initiative, please contact our policy and government affairs expert, Ms. Surbhi Sharma, at [email protected].

The India-Japan economic relationship has significantly expanded, focusing on trade, investment, infrastructure, and the digital economy. As leading Asian economies, India and Japan share a strong alignment in development cooperation, particularly through triangular collaborations with Bangladesh. Their partnership supports regional connectivity and value chain integration, notably through the "Act East Policy" and the "India-Japan Act East Forum." These efforts extend to multilateral initiatives such as the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) and the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD), promoting inclusive and sustainable development. Both nations aim to redefine growth beyond GDP, emphasising well-being and the upliftment of the Global South, in line with the vision outlined in the New Delhi G-20 leadership declaration for socio-economic progress.

This growing synergy was the focal point of the two-day International Conference on "Bay of Bengal and India-Japan Economic Relations," organised by the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS) in collaboration with the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies (MAKAIAS), National Digital Library of India (NDLI), The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCC&I), and the Kolkata Society for Asian Studies (KSAS). The conference, which concluded on March 12, 2024, explored these themes in depth, highlighting the robust cooperation between India and Japan and its impact on regional and global development.

Diplomats, scholars, practitioners, and industry experts from India, Japan, and Bangladesh, shared diverse perspectives on India-Japan relations and the emerging trilateral partnership with Bangladesh. Ambassador Sujan Chinoy, Director General of MP-IDSA; Professor Sachin Chaturvedi, Director General of RIS; Mr. Koichi Nakagawa, Consul-General of Japan in Kolkata; Mr. Gourangalal Das, Joint Secretary, East Asia Division, Ministry of External Affairs; Ambassador Sibi George; Ambassador Krishna Srinivasan; Mr. Nikhilesh Giri, Consul General of India in Osaka; and Dr. Ashok Chawla, Advisor, MEA. were among the key figures who deliberated in this conference.

Here are the key takeaways from the conference:

Historical bond and potential of India-Japan relations

The conference underscored the robust historical bond between India and Japan and emphasised the immense potential for further cooperation, particularly in critical and emerging technologies.

India and Japan's partnership is crucial in addressing common challenges, such as territorial disputes with China, and both nations are working towards enhancing their economic, security, and cultural ties.

The emerging trilateral partnership between India, Japan, and Bangladesh

The emerging trilateral partnership between India, Japan, and Bangladesh was highlighted as a key driver for the development of India’s Northeast. This collaboration aims to deepen economic integration and create industrial value chains linking India's Eastern and Northeastern regions with Bangladesh.

The India-Japan Act East Forum was identified as a key platform for facilitating comprehensive engagement between India and Japan, particularly in the context of trilateral cooperation with Bangladesh.

Investments in trade and infrastructure development in India

Japan's ambitious plans for industrial value chains and significant investment in infrastructure development in India, particularly in the Northeastern region, were key discussion points. The establishment of industrial townships and collaboration on defence, technology, and resilient supply chains were identified as crucial areas for economic resurgence.

The implementation of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and the potential for further collaboration in trade and investment were highlighted. Japan's position as India’s fifth-largest foreign investor, with a focus on automobile, infrastructure, and telecom sectors, and the opportunities in semiconductor technology and digital transformation were discussed.

The conference stressed the importance of regional development in the Bay of Bengal region, with a focus on fostering new regionalism through enhanced integration and financial investments. Establishing ports through Indo-Japanese collaboration and agreements on port usage between India and Bangladesh were noted as key initiatives for economic development.

Technology and innovation

The sessions on industrial policy and science, technology, and innovation emphasised the importance of technological cooperation, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing and technological innovations like drones. Four key strategies for semiconductor cooperation were identified, including policy dialogue, inter-governmental cooperation, enterprise collaboration, and the establishment of a semiconductor coordinator.

Cultural exchange

Historical and cultural ties between India and Japan, dating back to the 6th century, were highlighted. The importance of grassroots engagement, cultural exchange programs, and tourism in fostering closer ties between the two nations was emphasised. Efforts to increase the number of Japanese residents in India and promote the learning of the Japanese language were also discussed.

Multilateral cooperation

The importance of multilateral cooperation spanning government-to-government, government-to-business, and business-public intellectual realms was emphasized. Addressing shared concerns like climate change and human security through enhanced cooperation between governments, businesses, and public intellectuals was seen as crucial for future collaboration.

Mr. Ambarish Dasgupta, Senior Partner at Intueri Consulting LLP (intueriglobal.com), also participated in the special panel session on "Japan-India Partnership in the Changing Global Order". The session highlighted the partnership's significance in addressing common challenges like territorial disputes with China and discussed the progress made through multiple meetings between India and Japan in 2022-2023, focusing on peace, stability, joint military exercises, maritime security, and cybercrime. Key priorities for the partnership include infrastructural projects such as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor, advancements in Information and Communication Technology, clean energy initiatives, cultural exchange, and tourism. The session also emphasised the importance of overcoming past conflicts, including diverging perceptions of strategic threats, through initiatives like the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and joint military exercises to enhance economic, security, and cultural ties amidst evolving global dynamics.
