Top leaders from India's leading manufacturing, service and NGO sectors came together in Bangalore for CII's flagship event – The 15th Quality Summit.
The theme of the Summit is “People to Profit: Driving Performance through Organizational Excellence”. The 2-day Summit was inaugurated at NIMHANS convention center Bangalore.
Appreciating the industry for making its mark internationally, Mr. K.N Shenoy, Chairman, CII Institute of Quality said, “It is commendable how Indian companies have made a mark on the international arena by improving on the quality aspect, however we cannot rely on past laurels and need to gear up for new challenges like environment, social and talent.
The current situation underlines the significance of the Quality Summit that brings together industry experts on a common platform so that they can share and deliberate upon several issues such as sustained market leadership, societal aspirations, growth in the midst of environmental issues like global warming, making technological advancements and innovating continually.”
Citing example of his own organization Mr. K.V. Kamath, Vice President, CII and MD & CEO ICICI Bank Ltd said, “The challenge relating to human capital is far greater than the financial challenges and technological challenges we face.
We must leverage existing talent, enable entrepreneurship along with improving operational success. By the next decade India will have the youngest workforce in the 22-45 age bracket as opposed to other countries. India needs to gear up to address the skill set needs of this talent pool.”
