A dynamic environment • Changing Consumers • Changing Retailscape • Increased Digitisation • Innovation Process to keep pace with uncertainity
A volatile business landscape • Uncertainty is dominating the world agenda now with Economic and political uncertainties threaten to derail progress even as digital technologies and digitization are transforming the way consumers behave and businesses operate the world over • But these assume special significance for India because its economic future depends on its demographic dividend where about half of India's population is under 25 years • These young Indians are increasingly digital savvy and face a future marked by more widespread use of digital technology and digitization • However they live in an uncertain economic environment with nagging infrastructural and cultural constraints
In this context… • How do you reshape your business and marketing strategies in such an environment? • How do you re-architect your organization for the future? The seminar will provide fresh ideas, insights, and frameworks that address these critical questions. It will challenge the participants to think creatively and redesign their future strategies.
