Come together over lunch to kick-off the 2022 offsite, a weekend of shared learning or, as we prefer to call it, collective wisdom.
ADIT JAIN,
CHAIRMAN AND EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, IMA INDIA
A few important trends are shaping the global economy –
some of these stem from economic changes, others from geopolitical
considerations while some lie in the realm of business and management. These are
all the more critical in the context of supply chain disruptions, an approaching
slowdown in the advanced economies, rising inflation and geopolitical
volatility.
We will begin the 2022 CFO Strategy Roundtable with an assessment of global
economic megatrends as Adit Jain explains the shifts taking
place and their implications for business. He will also comment on India’s
medium-term economic prospects. Adit is IMA’s Editorial Director and has
authored over a thousand articles on business and policy issues over the years.
DR MUKUND RAJAN
CHAIRMAN
ECUBE INVESTMENT ADVISORS
The pandemic has strengthened the credo of ‘people, planet, and profit’,
prompting more and more investors to place their bets on businesses with strong
ESG ratings. Globally, trillions are flowing into ESG funds and in India, the
market regulator is pushing for more stringent ESG-related disclosures in
response to growing investor interest. Is ESG becoming India Inc’s business
mantra? What are the best ways to translate ESG ideals into concrete results, as
well as the patterns to look out for?
Dr Mukund Rajan is the Chairman of ECube Investment Advisors, a
pioneering platform to catalyse ESG improvements. Previously, in a 23-year
career with the Tata Group, he served as Brand Custodian, Chief Ethics Officer
and Chairman of the Tata Global Sustainability Council. The session will examine
the trends in the evolution

RAJAT SETHI,
POLITICAL STRATEGIST AND ADVISER TO STATE GOVERNMENTS
The electoral success of the BJP reversed a decades-old trendp of weak
coalitions and wafer-thin majorities where reforms were sacrificed at the altar
of populism in a never-ending battle for political survival. The rise of Mr Modi
promised to change all that. But the reality is rarely so simple and deep into
the BJP’s second term today, India’s political economy still remains something
of an enigma. Many significant changes – the Aadhar-mobile-based financial
revolution, subsidy reforms, the drop in political corruption, the provision of
basic amenities to the bottom of India’s consumer pyramid and even the nation’s
revitalised military posture – have been implemented with a scale and efficiency
India has never known. At the same time, other priorities in the domain of
economic policy making – privatisation, fiscal reforms, tax reforms, ease of
doing business – have received less attention. As one analyst put it, while the
historical template of economic policy making in India has been firmly expelled,
its replacement is as yet still evolving. How is this phenomenon likely to play
out in the coming years?
Rajat Sethi, a key contributor to the BJP’s political strategy
as well as economic policy positions, will provide a perspective around these
issues. Rajat has degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology (Kanpur), the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, and spent the
first ten years of his career in the corporate world. Subsequently, he joined
the BJP where he played a key role in its electoral successes through the use of
new-age analytical tools. Thereafter, he has been an Advisor to the Chief
Ministers of Jharkhand and Manipur, and is also a Senior Research Fellow at
India Foundation, an economic and policy think tank.
VS PARTHASARATHY, VICE CHAIRMAN, ALLCARGO LOGISTICS; DEBDEEP SENGUPTA, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER, CLOUD4C
While Covid was a big disruption in the life of a CFO, the fact is, ongoing
changes in the regulatory, economic and technology environment are leading to
fresh disruptions and discontinuities nearly on a day-to-day basis. To keep pace
with expectations, CFOs are having to reorient themselves at a pace that is
almost impossible to match. Perhaps the only sustainable solution is to
prioritise challenges correctly and leverage technology for maximum impact. Of
course, technology is a means to an end, but CFOs who are clear about the end
objectives will be able to generate far greater value.
The panel with a veteran CFO and a technology expert will explore the issues
facing the modern-day CFO and how can they prioritise for maximum impact.
VS Parthasarathy (popularly known as ‘Partha’) is the Vice
Chairman at Allcargo Logistics and has over 35 years of rich experience in
leading businesses, functions and organisation transformations. Previously, he
was with the Mahindra Group where he was the President of the mobility services
sector, and also the Group Chief Financial Officer and Group Chief Information
Officer. Before joining the Mahindra group, he had worked with Modi Xerox for 15
years. Debdeep Sengupta is the President and Chief Revenue
Officer of Cloud4C, a subsidiary of CtrlS Datacenters. He is an industry veteran
and has established benchmarks and sustainable growth standards in the Indian
Information technology industry. Previously, he has held various leadership
positions with global MNCs such as SAP, IBM and Digital Equipment Corporation.
Partha will leverage his many years of experience to provide a playbook for
modern-day CFOs while Debdeep will provide a bird’s eye of the factors that make
technology adoption successful.
KEDAR UPADHYAYE, CFO, RENEW POWER; JOY BASU, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, TIMES INTERNET; ANAND VENKATESWARAN, VICE PRESIDENT, FINANCE, TARGET CORP
CFOs’ abilities and duties extend far beyond just managing the company’s
finances. With quit rates at an all-time high, wage growth unseen in decades,
and continued uncertainty about the future of work, it is no surprise that CFOs
are increasingly thinking about ways to retain employees. What role can CFOs
play in driving the talent agenda of the organisation?
The panel will examine how Finance leaders can help promote capability
development but will also delve into wider issues relating to attrition and
retention, productivity and performance, managing salary costs and building
talent resilience within their organisations. Kedar Upadhye, Group CFO of ReNew
Power comes with over two decades of diverse and global experience. Prior to
joining ReNew, he was the President and Global CFO of Cipla, one of India's
largest publicly traded pharmaceutical companies in India. Joy Basu, Executive
Director & Chief Financial Officer at Times Internet Limited, has over 35 years
of experience and has earlier served as CFO of GoAir, Sterlite Technologies and
Rediff.com. Anand Venkateswaran is Vice President, Finance and Member, Board of
Directors for Target in India, a fully-owned subsidiary of Target Corporation.
Anand comes with over 20 years of diverse experience in corporate banking,
controllership, business transformation & re-engineering, risk management and
the setting-up of Finance Global Capability Centers (GCC).

MANAGING PARTNER
BARING PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNERS INDIA PRIVATE
LIMITED
Established businesses often view start-ups as disruptors who bring in
unthinkable business models, offer matchless customer experiences, unsettle the
talent market and seemingly upend the basic principles of business with regard
to profitability while still commanding ‘unreasonable’ valuations. While all of
these may well be true, there is another side of the picture. Start-ups can
offer valuable lessons on building a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.
They can become excellent partners to established businesses complimenting the
latter’s experience, credibility and process with new revenue streams and
new-age management practices. There is much to be gained by truly understanding
the DNA of start-ups and engaging with them.
Rahul Bhasin, Managing Partner of Baring Private Equity
Partners India and Senior Partner and Global Board Member of Baring Private
Equity Partners International, has a unique insight into this subject. Having
funded and worked with both established and start-up businesses over his 35-year
career, he has gained immense exposure to the operating paradigms of each – how
they differ and where they could converge. He will share lessons from start-ups
that big firms can learn, how the two can engage effectively and view each other
as ‘partners’ rather than ‘adversaries’.
MOHIT RAO,
MENTALIST
Mentalism, in performance, involves the demonstration of seemingly evolved
mental abilities, even paranormal ones. In practice, it entails psychological
illusions that blend psychology, hypnosis, suggestion, cold reading,
neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), misdirection, and a number of other subtle
skills of observation to create the illusion of a sixth sense. In the written
form, it all sounds technical and esoteric. In practice, the experience ranges
from the astounding to the absolutely delightful!
Mohit Rao, a Mind Reader, Mentalist and Corporate Entertainer,
has the ability to ‘read your mind, control your thoughts and even influence
decisions’. Using his skills, he has predicted the exact closing of the BSE
Sensex live on national television, hypnotised over 25,000 people worldwide and
used telepathy to drive a car blindfolded! Experience an hour of sheer
bewilderment, mystery, joy and thrill as he regales us with his inimitable
skills.

JHALANA RESERVE FOREST
Situated right in the heart of Pink City Jaipur, Jhalana is becoming a favourite
destination to spot leopards in the wild. Besides leopards, you will be able to
spot other smaller fauna including striped hyena, spotted deer, blue bulls and
wild boars. Palm, babul, bamboo and acacia trees continue to be methodically
planted throughout the quartz hills and flat-lands of the Aravalli that Jhalana
is set in. For this reason, it has also become an ideal destination for
migratory birds, despite being in the heart of the city! An open gypsy safari,
which takes about 2.5 hours, is the best way to explore Jhalana Forest Reserve.
Don’t miss the experience!
Note: The distance from the hotel to Jhalana Forest is about 40 minutes. The
safari itself takes 2-2.5 hours to complete so the total timeframe for the
excursion is ~3.5-4.0 hours. As safari timings are strictly regulated,
guests must be ready to leave the hotel by 5:15 AM sharp. We will make
travel and logistical arrangements. Jhalana Reserve regulations require all
visitors to confirm their presence well in advance along with an ID
document.
BIJU DOMINIC,
CHIEF EVANGELIST, FRACTAL ANALYTICS; CHAIRMAN OF
FINAL MILE CONSULTING
Most business leaders would claim to be rational decision-makers driven by logic
and numbers – CFOs more so. Whether in the context of employees, customers,
shareholders or investors, they focus on being rational, rule-based and
consistent in their decision-making. The outcomes of decisions are also
evaluated along similar principles. However, recent findings from the field of
neurosciences tell us that this approach may not be correct, as most human
decisions are made at the emotional, not the rational level. If decision-makers
want to anticipate, predict or influence behaviours (of customers, employees), a
scientific understanding of emotion and instinct is essential. Neuroscience
provides the tools for developing such an understanding and for applying them to
specific contexts and decisions. Progressive organisations are already applying
such techniques to make remarkably better decisions on both internal and
external fronts.
Biju Dominic is the CEO and Co-founder of Final Mile
Consulting, a firm that specialises in decoding the human decision-making
process through Cognitive Neuroscience. Biju pioneered the concept of ‘Behaviour
Architecture’ and today his approach finds applications in areas as diverse as
reducing road accidents, increasing toilet use, mitigating girl trafficking, to
helping business managers design better employee and customer strategies. In
this session, Biju will share examples of these principles at work and the tools
that CFOs can leverage to become better leaders and decision-makers.

At Fractal Analytics, he is playing the new game that is emerging at the intersection of
human and machine intelligence. He is driven by the belief that the more we understand
the inscrutable algorithm in our brains, better will be the technology we develop for
our machines.
In the first 18 years of his career, while working with various advertising agencies, he
had a traditional approach to dealing with human behavior. His dissatisfaction with this
traditional paradigm led him to co-found FinalMile Consulting in 2007. Combining
learning from Neuroscience, Behavioral Economics and Design, he pioneered the practice
of Behaviour Architecture. Behaviour Architecture involves a unique research methodology
called Ethnolab and a unique communication strategy called ‘Designing for the Non-
Conscious’.
Behaviour Architecture has been used to reduce road accidents, mitigate the spread of
HIV, mitigate girl trafficking, inculcate a culture of integrity and solve many other
human behaviour problems in business and society, around the world.

DIMPLE MEHTA
DIRECTOR
SOUL DIETS
If there is one thing the pandemic year has reminded us it is the importance
of
the practice of mindfulness, which builds core emotional and mental strength
and opens the door to confident actions and purposeful decision-making.
Mindfulness helps build mental agility and develop a mind that is focused,
curious and creative. It helps to explore ways to take micro-steps towards
a strong
mind that is resilient, less prone to interruption and maintains focus. What
is
the science behind mindfulness? How can one live mindfully? What techniques
can help calm the mind?
Dimple Mehta, Director, Soul Diets Foundation, is a
mindfulness and character strength coach,
drama-based pedagogy and parenting expert, and author. For the past 15
years, Dimple has been
providing mindfulness and character-strengthening training and pedagogies to
help individuals,
corporates, schools/institutes, NGOs, and cadets to discover and experience
happiness. She will
decode the science behind mindfulness and share simple yet powerful
techniques to live in the
present moment

MOHIT RAO,
MENTALIST
Mentalism, in performance, involves the demonstration of seemingly evolved
mental abilities, even paranormal ones. In practice, it entails
psychological illusions that blend psychology, hypnosis, suggestion, cold
reading, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), misdirection, and a number of
other subtle skills of observation to create the illusion of a sixth sense.
In the written form, it all sounds technical and esoteric. In practice, the
experience ranges from the astounding to the absolutely delightful!
Mohit Rao, a Mind Reader, Mentalist and Corporate
Entertainer, has the ability to ‘read your mind, control your thoughts and
even influence decisions’. Using his skills, he has predicted the exact
closing of the BSE Sensex live on national television, hypnotised over
25,000 people worldwide and used telepathy to drive a car blindfolded!
Experience an hour of sheer bewilderment, mystery, joy and thrill as he
regales us with his inimitable skills.

JHALANA RESERVE FOREST
Situated right in the heart of Pink City Jaipur, Jhalana is becoming a
favourite destination to spot leopards in the wild. Besides leopards, you
will be able to spot other smaller fauna including striped hyena, spotted
deer, blue bulls and wild boars. Palm, babul, bamboo and acacia trees
continue to be methodically planted throughout the quartz hills and
flat-lands of the Aravalli that Jhalana is set in. For this reason, it has
also become an ideal destination for migratory birds, despite being in the
heart of the city! An open gypsy safari, which takes about 2.5 hours, is the
best way to explore Jhalana Forest Reserve. Don’t miss the experience!
Note: The distance from the hotel to Jhalana Forest is about 40 minutes.
The safari itself takes 2-2.5 hours to complete so the total timeframe
for the excursion is ~3.5-4.0 hours. As safari timings are strictly
regulated, guests must be ready to leave the hotel by 5:15 AM sharp. We
will make travel and logistical arrangements. Jhalana Reserve
regulations require all visitors to confirm their presence well in
advance along with an ID document.
