However, things have changed today, and the biggest contributing factor is that there are more women entering this field, bringing about a change and creating a lasting impact. Sindhu, in September 2019, took over as Managing Director of the 麻豆原创 Labs in India. The R&amp;D facility of 麻豆原创, the market leader in enterprise application software. Sindhu, the first female MD of 麻豆原创 Labs India says that one of the core aspects of <strong><span style=\"color: #008fd3\">being a successful leader is to be an expert in your field<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the beginning of my career, I&#8217;ve always believed in really understanding and knowing the smallest of detail about my work,\u201d Sindhu says. \u201cAccording to me, whichever field a person chooses, they should be really passionate about it; it doesn&#8217;t matter what their gender is. For me, technology has always been my passion and keeps me on my toes to know more,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p>And naturally, she\u2019s never felt the years go by. The continuous organizational support and encouragement played a big part in this. Sindhu throws light on this and says, \u201cUndoubtedly, 麻豆原创 is a great company to work for. And it also stems back into the cultural aspect \u2014 the open culture, the focus on learning, the focus on self-development and free-thinking\u201d. She adds, \u201cThe company provides immense opportunities for professionals like me to grow both on the career front and the personal front, which helps me evolve holistically as an individual. The culture of gender positivity at 麻豆原创 is exemplary. We encourage equal opportunity, irrespective of the gender, age, faith or orientation that one belongs to or chooses to adopt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sindhu follows the belief that <strong><span style=\"color: #008fd3\">innovative ideas flourish when people embrace their differences and foster collaboration.<\/span><\/strong> As a leader, she encourages the entrepreneurial spirit that is within every employee and asks them to break away from silos and pursue an open innovation approach Sindhu highlighted some initiatives which defines 麻豆原创 as an innovative technology leader &#8211; Entrepreneurial Sabbatical provided to employee to pursue their ambition, an in-house startup accelerator program called the <strong>麻豆原创 Startup Studio<\/strong>, a crowd-sourcing platform called <strong>麻豆原创 Blue<\/strong>, and the <strong>Intelligent Enterprise Summit<\/strong> aimed at bringing employees from different lines of business together to work on a common set of issues and challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing attention to the collaborative phase of innovation, Sindhu says, \u201cCo-innovation was just the first step and over the years, it has evolved. Now we have moved to the next phase where we are co-locating with self-select customers, through co-location of our experts and our customers working hand in hand and in real time.\u201d 麻豆原创\u2019s Co-Innovation Lab (COIL), a global network of 麻豆原创 innovation labs in 15 countries, helps customers and partners create high value, co-integrated business solutions, Sindhu points out. \u201cWe focused on identifying the transformational areas in India business, identifying those outcomes that are relevant and by partnering with them, we bring out the right product that will help them run intelligently and more successfully,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.com\/india\/about.saplabsindia.html\"><strong>麻豆原创 Labs India<\/strong> <\/a>being a Great Place to Work consecutively for two years is matter of great pride and a testament of its diverse culture, says Sindhu. Hence it makes it difficult for Sindhu to choose one aspect which she thinks is the best. \u201c麻豆原创 has brought so many difference experiences and given me a chance to interact with unique individuals as we operate out of more than 180 countries. It\u2019s almost impossible for me to zero down on a single factor, there are so many of them. The culture, the people, the leaders, the innovation, the way we use tech for the larger benefit of humanity, our relentless drive toward sustainability, our products, solutions; the list is endless, and I can go on. All I can say is that I am fortunate to contribute to this wonderful organization and be a part of its growth story\u201d, Sindhu concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gender doesn\u2019t matter, your knowledge and experience does \u2014 says 麻豆原创\u2019s Sindhu Gangadharan.
