“I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with Mukund who mentored me as as part of the Women in IT program. As a mid-level IT leader, I had done well at work, but didn’t have aspirations for career advancement. My exposure to parallel streams or other projects was limited, and I had concerns about my language and accent when interacting with customers. My main focus was delivering projects with high quality, and I didn't participate in industry-related events or engage in further learning. However, once Mukund started working with me on a structured mentoring plan, a transformation began. I shifted my focus to exploring other activities and businesses within the organization, actively expanding my network and establishing connections. I developed greater confidence in my communication skills and effectively engaged with customers, even in challenging situations. I embraced participation in all activities outside of the project. I realized that there were many ways to optimize my performance through a more effective team structure. This resulted in fewer direct reports and I started managing my time more effectively. I was able to start looking at the big picture and began to understand the importance of aligning with the overall organization’s goals. I began asking relevant questions in forums and actively engaged in other org activities. Throughout this journey, Mukund consistently supported me, attending sessions on time, creating a supportive environment, and helping me focus on the vision of my current organization. By embracing this transformation journey, I have gained valuable insights, expanded my horizons, and grown both personally and professionally. I am excited to continue this journey of growth and make a positive impact in my organization and beyond. I am grateful to Mukund’s guidance throughout this process and I hope that one day, I too will pay forward by helping emerging women IT leaders.”

Sharing my reflections on the trends shaping the Indian public accounting GCC landscape as part of The One Perspective, our new series that brings together the voices and insights of leaders across @Baker Tilly One India. What inspires me most as we begin this series is the strength we will build by bringing distinct ideas together to shape a shared direction. Each leader will bring their own unique expertise, experience and conviction. And when these come together, they will reflect who we are as a firm: strong in our diversity, unwavering in our purpose. This is how we move forward. As one firm. With one perspective. Stay tuned for more. We look forward to an engaging dialogue with you on all.

CX is about the Complete Experience, combining core and ancilliary experiences. On Broadway it extends from ticket booking to post-show entertainment. I talk to Srinivas B Vijayaraghavan on Zykrr — The CX Monetization Company’s CX Monetization podcast about the challenges of creating a Complete Experience in theater shows and how brands can to be thinking about it. #cx #customerexperience #broadway

ExecutiveRoundtable.org, Chairman’s Highlights! We catch up with Namita Jindal, Chief Information Officer at CentralSquare Technologies, a leader in public sector software solutions. Namita has been instrumental in driving innovation and operational excellence at CentralSquare, leveraging her extensive experience in business strategy and technology. Here, she shares her insights on the business climate for the rest of 2025 and the key factors influencing the industry. Namita: "At CentralSquare, we are deeply committed to enhancing the digital presence and operational efficiency of public sector agencies. Our mission-critical software solutions, ranging from Computer-aided Dispatch and Next-Generation 911 to Finance, Asset Management, and Permitting, are designed to help public agencies and their communities flourish in new ways The public sector is increasingly recognizing the value of digital transformation, and we are well-positioned to support this shift with our comprehensive suite of solutions. What excites me the most is the potential for innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence and data analytics. Our Generative AI initiatives are already showing promising results in improving our customer experience while we continue to innovate. We are investing heavily in cybersecurity and compliance to address the unique challenges of the public sector, including privacy concerns related to GAI. Ensuring that we have the right talent and resources to drive this innovation is essential. The shifting landscape of talent and staffing, especially with the rise of hybrid work, requires us to be agile and adaptive. Artificial intelligence versus human intelligence is another area of interest. While AI can significantly enhance our capabilities, it is crucial to strike a balance and ensure that human expertise remains at the core of our operations. We are committed to fostering a collaborative environment where AI and human intelligence complement each other to deliver the best outcomes for our customers. At CentralSquare, we believe in giving back to the community. Our social responsibility initiatives include volunteerism and charitable donations, and we strive to create a diverse and inclusive workplace. Personally, I am passionate about driving transformation and innovation, and I am proud to be part of a company that is making a real difference in the public sector." Namita's leadership and vision continue to drive CentralSquare's success, making it a pivotal player in the public sector software industry.

Over the last few months, we've been looking deeply into data on India's manufacturing workforce. We looked at the datasets that measure manufacturing employment (https://lnkd.in/gA8bncQt), at factory employment (https://lnkd.in/gJu4Uq38), unorganised manufacturing (https://lnkd.in/gKaY3tBh) and women in manufacturing (https://lnkd.in/g3uAPbah). But one data point caught our attention - tailors. One in six Indians working in manufacturing, and one in three women in the manufacturing workforce, is a 'custom tailor'. Of the 14 million new manufacturing jobs added between 2018 and 2024, five million were in custom tailoring alone. For this piece for Data For India, Nileena Suresh looked more closely at who India's custom tailors really are. She found that most are women, self-employed and work from home. Many do this work alongside household chores. Wages are low. Alongside this examination of custom tailoring work, she also looked at the evolution of this category in Indian data - there's been much debate about whether this is a manufacturing job at all. (If it weren't counted as manufacturing, manufacturing job growth in India would look very different.) Read our work on custom tailoring here: https://lnkd.in/gtCW49uw

This is the journey of Shubhra Sinha — a story of resilience, innovation, and allyship. Her #raredisease did not stop her from becoming an Associate Vice President of Cloud Partnerships. "I connect our business with partners to create compelling, joint value propositions that help accelerate our clients’ technology transformation." Technology became her bridge. Work became her independence. Allyship became her power. Her path proves that leadership is not defined by physical strength, but by will. But resilience alone is not enough. Inclusive systems, accessible tools, and people who choose to stand beside you — that’s what truly builds champions. Work to her means part of being something bigger than herself. Her self-patented coping methodology – “A.B.I.D.E.” 😊that equips her with tools in stressful situations - A.ccept the situation is only a setback. B.reathe through the time and keep calm. I.ntropect on what went wrong. D.ust off the effects by next day or the day after that. But, no longer than that. E.nergize yourself and move forward. You can read about it all in her own words here: https://lnkd.in/gChVWtQn #febRAREuary #rareAtwork #rarediseaseday #executiveleadership #DEI #inclusion #GNEmyopathy #WWGM
