He also offered a light of hope as he acquainted students with new opportunities that these times have presented us with.

“This is not the first crisis that we have faced, and of course this is not the end. But every crisis offers an opportunity. We need to learn how to respond to the crisis. Organizations can learn to recover from it, and be more adaptable to the new normal,” said Mr. Chatterjee. He also believed that during the time of the pandemic consumers have had to rely on trusted brands while increasing their overall household expenditure.

It’s this trust of consumers that remain vital in the competitive market. As Mr Chatterjee explained the DNA of organizations, he shed light on factors that make companies stand out from the rest. “Purpose, Perspective, and Alignment with other actors are factors that contribute to an organization’s success,” he added. He followed up the view with the example of Amul India, which has turned the crisis into an opportunity and stood strong during the pandemic.

The talk turned out to be a Masterclass in business insights and strategy for future management professionals. In fact, Mr Chatterjee also asserted that strategy and execution go hand in hand before offering a key tip for the future in the new world. “Don’t neglect technology, learn about technology, and appreciate the technology,” were his strong concluding words that resonated with students looking ahead to a promising, technology-driven new world.
