In our #RiseToLead series, next in line is a woman forerunner in the industry who talks about leadership transitions in her career journey. Deep dive into how Ms Abanti Sankaranarayanan, Chief Group Public Affairs Officer and Member of the Group Executive Board, Mahindra Group climbed the leadership ladder. “Nearly two years have passed since I first met Dr Anish Shah, yet the memory remains vivid. After our discussion, he walked me out—an act of courtesy I had never experienced from a senior leader in my 28-year career. Initially, I thought it was just his personal demeanour, but my subsequent interaction with Mr Anand Mahindra revealed a deeper truth. He too walked me out after our conversation. It dawned on me then: this is the essence of the Mahindra Group. My conversation with Mr Mahindra was not centred on my role or professional accomplishments. Instead, he inquired about my family and my interests—it felt like a homecoming, reminiscent of my first company. As a graduate of IIM-Ahmedabad, India’s premier business school, I didn't meticulously plan where I’d be at 40 or 50. I followed the current, prioritising institutions distinguished by performance, purpose, and societal impact. This led me to join one of India’s largest conglomerates for my inaugural role. At Mahindra, my vision encompasses creating value and building business resilience through shaping policies with the government, anticipating risks, global leadership in Sustainability and thought leadership with internal and external stakeholders.” To know more about how Ms Abanti navigated her path in a leadership role, read the complete blog here: https://lnkd.in/ddgbMq9W

Today we will learn about - "Anand Mahindra" who advocates that india can’t settle only for JUGAAD (make-do) & has to shoot for JHAKAAS ✅ 📌 With 7.4 million followers on Twitter, it is clear Mahindra’s content resonates with a lot of users & that he is a Distinguished Executive & not just a Corporate Spokesperson 📌 Even if users are not familiar with the Mahindra Group as a company, Mahindra’s own writing is extremely entertaining and unique. He posts original content with his personal insights 📌 He is using his Twitter account to share topics important to him, both as a chairman of a company and as an individual 👉 Once Steve Wozniak (Co-Founder of Apple) mentioned that Indians were good at studying hard and achieving some success in the life, like acquiring an MBA degree or buying a Mercedes with the hard work – But Indians are not creative people 📌 He replied saying -I love it when such comments are made. Nothing like a sweeping Stereotype to get our juices flowing & prove it wrong. Thanks Stevewoz – Come back soon. We’ll make you sing a different tune ✅ 📌 Anand Mahindra's leadership style is marked by a profound understanding of emerging trends, disruptive technologies, and evolving customer needs 📌 Fostering a culture of innovation, Mahindra actively encourages an entrepreneurial spirit within the organization 👉 One of the biggest challenges Anand Mahindra faced was when he was assigned the work of M&M's Kandivali Factory in 1991. At that time, there was a strike of the worker's union & the crowd went wild. You would guess that Anand Mahindra fulfilled their demands 📌 Instead of giving up to the demands he announced that there would be no Diwali bonus if the workers didn't get back to work 👉 Who would have thought that such a move could curb the strikes? Anyway, it increased the productivity gains of the company from 50% to 150% ✅ Do you guys know why COURAGE is so ATTRACTIVE - Because people lack it (it is very scarce). I am his huge huge fan दिमाग और प्रभाव को उपयोग करने की चीज़ है, शोकेस में सावधानी से रखने की नहीं। Do watch the video to know interesting connection between rabbit and innovations #managementlessons #casestudy #anandmahindra #happiness

Large companies across India Inc have stepped up investments on upskilling their leadership talent, Rica Bhattacharyya and lijee philip report for The Economic Times. Upskilling spends on a senior executive is now ₹20-50 lakh every year, compared to ₹5-10 lakh pre-pandemic, the report says. In fact, firms like Reliance Industries Limited, JSW Group, Godrej Industries Group, Mahindra Group, and Vedanta, among others, are sending larger batches of senior executives for training. Companies are partnering with Ivy League universities in the United States like Harvard, Cornell, Brown, and Columbia, and other international and Indian institutions for the same. The aim is building the leadership pipeline by providing development opportunities, says Anish Shah, CEO and MD of the Mahindra Group. Several resignations from senior executives in 2021 and 2022 prompted organisations to focus more on developing leadership talent pipelines, the report says further. Training CXOs would help them embrace new challenges, bring fresh perspectives, and drive innovation in growing their businesses during uncertain times, says Sandeep Bhalla, Senior Partner and Head of Consulting, India at Korn Ferry. The rapid growth post-pandemic is another contributing factor for the need for clear succession plans in companies, the report adds.

The Tata Group’s 150-year journey is a testament to enduring leadership, visionary strategies, and unwavering commitment to core values. This storied legacy is marked by remarkable milestones: a diamond twice as large as the Kohinoor pledged to weather a financial storm, India’s first Olympic team, the creation of the nation’s first commercial airline, and the development of its first indigenous car. The iconic ‘OK TATA’ sign seen on millions of trucks across Indian highways symbolizes the widespread influence and reach of the Tata brand. Establishing and sustaining an institution for over a century and a half requires more than just business acumen; it demands a succession of dynamic leaders who can adapt to changing environments while upholding the principles laid down by their predecessors. The Tata Group stands as a prime example of this, with each leader contributing uniquely to its growth and evolution. From Jamsetji Tata’s foundational vision for India's industrialization to JRD Tata’s transformative leadership that expanded the company's global presence, from Ratan Tata’s daring acquisitions and modernization initiatives to the current chairperson Natarajan Chandrasekaran’s technology-centric approach. Our upcoming ILC session, Leadership Lessons from a Timeless Institution: How Tata Built a Legacy of 150 Years, will delve into the strategies and philosophies that have enabled the Tata Group to thrive through decades of economic shifts and industry changes and will offer a comprehensive understanding of how the Group has remained a timeless brand.

Anand Mahindra's time at HBS taught him his greatest team management lesson in a 40 year-long career: After graduating from the university, he worked at Mahindra Ugine Steel (MUSCO) in Mumbai. As one of the company leaders, his first task was to help restructure and diversify MUSCO. However, he couldn't do this alone; Anand's goal was to help the 100s of people be on the same page and share the same vision. This is a management lesson he learned during his time at Harvard Business School. At HBS, he saw that when 90 brilliant students worked together in a classrroom, they came up with much better, and productive solutions than if just one person trying to do everything all alone. He realized that even in the real world, it's also essential to work together and be collaborative to work with others. This way, everyone can share their ideas and make things better for everyone. His leadership at MUSCO helped him prepare better for joining the Mahindra & Mahindra group in 1991, and the rest is history. Today, under Anand's leadership, Mahindra & Mahindra has a market cap of over ₹3 trillion and is known as one of the most significant corporations in history. And it all started during his time at one of the greatest business schools in the world's history! How important do you think it is to be collaborative with your team? #harvard #management #leadership #stories
