Topics & Speakers:
- Futuristic Crimes by D Sivanandhan, Former Police Commissioner of Mumbai
- Harnessing Creative Talent for Corporate Change by Sanjeev Parida, Sr VP HR – Tech Mahindra
Human Resources Infotech Association (HRIA) had arranged another event with more than 150 attendees in Mumbai. Two very credible speakers were hosting the same. It was more than 3 hrs of fascinating stories by Mr. Sivanandhan and an exchange of corporate ideas with Mr. Parida. Both speakers came from very different backgrounds but spoke of general awareness one should posses when she/he is in a corporate setting.
Mr. Parida discussed about the harmony between different generations which come together to run a company. The Baby boomers – at the peak of the hierarchy, Generation X – at the middle management levels and Generation Y – The current line managers who actually gets the work done. How different mindsets, ideas and cultures need to be harnessed together to make the company move ahead.
Mr. Sivanandan spoke of the modern day criminal minds. How today’s law breakers are more technologically advanced than the law makers. He gave many examples ranging from terrorist attacks in Mumbai to how a simple bug can be hidden in a MNC’s mainframe servers can help its competition leaps and bound. It was really surprising to see how easy it is to bend the laws and what limitations today’s police faces to stay a step ahead of the criminals.
The core HRIA team partnered with IE for the events happening in Mumbai.
