One thing I would
do differently is to be open to career opportunities in locations other than my
home location. As a career professional, flexibility is a key attribute and
history is replete with instances of professionals finding their calling in
locations which they would have never dreamt of working. The fact that it also
provides you with an opportunity to broaden your horizon, learn about and adopt
to different work cultures, are added benefits. It also helps a professional in
delivering outside their ‘comfort’ zone, which is sure to hold them in good
stead at some point.
Looking back, I
would probably also have added some sales experience to my profile. It
strengthens your on-ground knowledge of business and customers, helping you to
have a more realistic approach to business solutions. This added to academic
acumen enhances chances of success that bit more.
In a couple of years from now, I see myself contributing handsomely in building the CSC business in India in a way that it is seen as among the leading IT companies doing business in the country. I would also strive to build CSC as a truly aspirational brand for the young and enterprising workforce of the country.
I also look to seek a larger role in general management and garner as much international exposure in my career, as possible.
One recent
accomplishment has been to organise and host TBSC in India. Bringing TBSC to
India was in line with our focus on the India domestic market. It provided a
great platform for our partners and customers from across the globe to
collaborate, exchange innovative ideas and best practices and benefit from each
other’s experience. Each breakout session and exhibit booth demonstrated how we
simplify the complex, delivering understandable, intrinsically secure solutions
at whatever scale our customers need. This event has been a huge success for us
in other parts of the world, and we are glad to replicate this in the India
market in December 2011.
