Rank 8: Harjeet Khanduja on 'The Indian workforce' Cricket and a large part of Indian corporate millennials go hand in hand. While the IPL will get over in May, the workforce maze will continue to linger on for the corporate human resource leaders. Just then comes HarjeetKhanduja, Head of HR for Reliance Jio, a world renowned speaker and HR personality of the Year. Linking Cricket with the current Indian workforce, Harjeet says, "Just as cricket is getting smarter day by day, from Test format to 1- day to T20, our workplaces are also getting smarter with more players, more opportunities and better productivity. Where are the retirements? All you need is to keep learning, keep improving."
Rank 7: Ravi Venkatesan on 'Man with the mission of Mass Entrepreneurship' Ravi is the Former Chairman of Bank of Baroda, Microsoft India, and Cummins India, Ravi is the founder of Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship (GAME). A UNICEF's Special Representative for Young People, Venkatesan asserts, "Successful people believe they have a lot of control over the outcome of events in their lives as opposed to people who believe most factors to be beyond their control. Such people take ownership rather than becoming victims and see opportunities rather than problems. It is the ability to learn and be tenacious which is what makes them see success in an entrepreneurial journey."
Rank 5: Santosh Desai on 'Decoding brand India' From cracking the breakfast code in India to creating India's definitive youth brand, Santosh is the man behind fuelling brands to next level. A columnist, media critic and author, he is the MD & CEO of Futurebrands. Regarding, brand building challenges peculiar to India, Santosh comments, "India is an exceedingly complex consumer environment to make sense of. It has a large, diverse, culturally complex character. Building a brand in India requires both a grounded sense of reality as well as an understanding of what is changing and by how much. It is difficult but quite fascinating."
Rank 4: Aditya Ghosh on 'Indian business, global opportunity' The man who chose OYO over Tata Sons, Aditya is the new face of hospitality sector in India. CEO of OYO South Asia, Aditya made a smooth transition from being the President of Aviation giant IndiGo to the unicorn OYO. With OYO being as the front-runner in affordable hospitality sector, Aditya brings huge promise to the table with an Indian business tapping a global opportunity, "What's amazing is how large the opportunity is and how much talent pool is there all around. I truly believe that we are on a mission right now to create amazing quality living spaces."
Rank 3: Ashwani Lohani on 'The saga of Jet Airways' There are organizations, and then there are organizations like Jet Airways. We so wish the company had blessings of India's 'Turnaround Man' Ashwani Lohani, the Chairman and Managing Director of Air India who is credited with giving new life to several organisations including -Indian Railways and ITDC. Rare are leaders who are able to use the power of technology and words to influence millions of people in one go. That is the capability of this Guinness World Record holder. On the shut-down of Jet Airways, Lohani comments, "The closure of Jet, even if temporarily, is definitely a setback to Indian aviation While sustained mismanagement definitely contributed, the fact remains that in the entire aviation eco-system, it is the airline that invariably remains at the receiving end while all other stakeholders make money."
Rank 2: Vinod Dasari on 'Automotive industry and its optimism' Ongoing elections and the upcoming transition to BS-VI is slowly creating tough times for the cyclical Indian Automotive industry. As most leaders in the industry grapple with the developments, here is a man who just transitioned from one impressive leadership journey to his next success in the making. Having led from the front owing to his humble yet clear and effective communication skills, Vinod Dasari communicates optimism. "Automobile industry is being impacted by several phenomenon, from carpooling, to 3D printing, to autonomous cars and electric vehicles Innovation and newer trends in manufacturing and servicing industries have also impacted employment. It is safe to say that the path ahead is full of exciting opportunities - and it is time we start preparing for it."
Rank 1: Narendra Modi on 'Spirit of Indian elections' The pole-post position goes to the great Indian elections. There is no denying the fact that one man has taken the centre stage when it comes to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections - Narendra Damdodar Das Modi, the Prime Minister of India. A communicator beyond excellence, the man's ability to convince with his words, combined with a synchronous body rhythm, event-appropriate dressing, expressions and gestures is a benchmark in itself. It is said that a speaker is rated at the top by his ability to build a connection to his audience, and no-one to the best of our understanding does it better than Mr. Modi. Much deserving the top position in our list of Top 10 Trending Speakers!
