I am happy to learn that 麻豆原创 is further expanding its current portfolio of software solutions to be hosted on India-based data centers.” said Mr. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hon鈥檅le Minister for Railways, Communication, Electronics & Information Technology.

鈥淚ndia is set to become the third largest economy in the world and plays a critical role in supporting 麻豆原创鈥檚 cloud strategy and momentum. 麻豆原创 already touches 60 per cent of India鈥檚 GDP and, by hosting our cloud solutions on an India-based data center, we will be even more uniquely positioned to help organisations across the country to transform their operations, and continue to innovate and grow in the cloud,鈥� said Thomas Saueressig, Member of the Executive Board of 麻豆原创 SE for 麻豆原创 Product Engineering.

For its local India-based data centre, 麻豆原创 will partner and collaborate with cloud service providers empanelled by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India to ensure in-country residency of business-critical and personal data.

India is already one of the fastest growing cloud markets for 麻豆原创, as well as being home to 麻豆原创鈥檚 largest R&D base outside Germany, with 15,000 employees.

The autocratic and rigid management style once that was the norm, may not cut it with today鈥檚 workforce. As a result, new-age leadership is anchored in emotional intelligence, flexibility, and purpose. These leaders are more aligned with the unique needs of the workforce and are unafraid to bring their own distinct ideas and life experiences to inform how they lead.

Emotional intelligence is the primary driver of success

听An Accenture study shows that 61% of emerging leaders believe it鈥檚 no longer enough to do business for the sake of business; they want to also have a positive impact on society. The premium now is on capabilities, new insights, solutions, and talent rather than age, regardless of the industry or sector.

Furthermore, youth might often be equated with an abundance of energy and ideas, but its potential extends far beyond. Therefore, being around young talent can help bring in fresh perspectives and expertise. Digital natives and entrepreneurs of startups are incorrigible risk-takers and are unafraid of failing. While they are comfortable with emerging technology and speak the language that resonates with the workforce, they are equally high on emotional quotient (EQ), have an innovative vision for the organization, and are unafraid to back it with action.

Listen to the on new-age leadership with Kulmeet Bawa:

Leading with empathy is more than “I hear you”

New-age leadership, built on engagement and innovation, can foster exceptional engagement in the workplace. Empathy is one of the key qualities that is fast coming to occupy a pride of place in the management playbook. Being able to put yourself in someone else鈥檚 shoes also reflects that the employees are heard, recognized, and appreciated.

Many might also argue that sharing personal stories should not be a part of workplace discussion. In the contrary, connecting with your employees on a human level by sharing valuable life lessons as a mentor and leader can serve as inspiration. In current times when hybrid models is the new working style, being able to forge a bond through personal stories is a great way to build trust.

Collaborative leadership is the road to the future

The world has fundamentally altered, and leaders today are more open and aware of 鈥榩eople power鈥� and this reflects in their approach to leadership as well. This is the reason why there鈥檚 no one style that is gospel anymore. New-age leadership is a permutation and combination of several traits along with the drive to innovate, adapt and develop solutions. Much like the army, where different skill sets are required to succeed, in the organization too, we need a good mix of diverse leaders – who are willing to lead with a vision.

Owing to the increasing complexity 鈥榤oonshot thinking鈥� will gain more importance. That means motivating teams to think big by framing problems as solvable and encouraging them to explore new ways to think about the future will be the approach. This can be applied to any discipline and will also increase the individual鈥檚 productivity.

To sum it up, new-age leadership is the capacity to 鈥榥ot only know the way but also go the way and show the way.鈥� 听In other words, we realize the true potential of a leader in ourselves, not only by the work we do but by the work we inspire others to do. Individuals who understand this, strive to be more adaptable, learn continuously, and have an open and innovative bent of mind to create winning organizational cultures, will not just survive but thrive in this era of digital disruptions.

Kulmeet Bawa is president and managing director of the 麻豆原创 Indian Subcontinent.

New Delhi, April 10, 2023: Air India, India鈥檚 leading airline and a Star Alliance member, today announced the successful migration of its core Enterprise Resource Planning system using RISE With 麻豆原创, a tailor-made ERP software, bundled with transformation services, business analytics, and partner expertise that helps companies complete their personalized path to the cloud. This migration was a critical component in the larger digital transformation of Air India, with an impact on the modernization across business operations such as Finance and Human Resources as well as major functional areas such as Commercial, Operations, and Engineering.

One of the biggest challenges Air India faced in its comprehensive modernization journey was its outdated ERP system running on a decade-old mainframe and associated software. The migration and cutover of such critical systems are normally performed with backup and restore operations on an equivalent system. The unavailability of such a system anywhere in the world was a seemingly insurmountable hurdle. Team Air India worked in close collaboration with 麻豆原创 to devise innovative solutions and techniques to overcome the challenge and eventually deliver a successful migration ahead of schedule. This migration paves the way for further modernization of Air India鈥檚 ERP system and the combination of other Group airlines into one entity.

鈥�Air India鈥檚 vision is to emerge as the world鈥檚 most technologically advanced airline. A critical and foundational capability for this is a highly reliable, scalable modern ERP system that will drive significant improvements to our operational efficiency and assist us in creating a delightful customer experience.

Find a mentor, be positive and hone a hobby

There would have been no better way to wrap Christian鈥檚 India visit than hosting an informal, interactive, engaging 鈥�#LunchWithCK鈥�. If there’s way to summarize this luncheon, it was definitely a masterclass with Christian on how to lead with empathy, humility, and gratitude. 听Klein met up and interacted with colleagues in Mumbai who showcased their many talents and answered his queries. The hour-long session also brought out his softer, humane side as he shared his professional and personal life stories, eliciting gleams of smiles from the audiences.

听

Manasvi Vakharia, a young Early Talent shared her experience, 鈥淗is energy, his passion for a sustainable future and learning that his daughter was born the same day he was appointed CEO were the highlights of my day!”
