Everyday evolving Technology and talent shortage isn't temporary—it's the new normal. And traditional outsourcing approaches are woefully inadequate for this reality. With nearly three decades of experience across manufacturing, automotive, and technology sectors, I've witnessed talent acquisition strategies evolve from convenience to necessity.

If your multi-BU operations feel like herding cats across multiple continents, you're not alone—but you are at a competitive disadvantage.... After managing strategic sourcing across multiple business units with an annual budget of ₹ 2,000 million, I've seen firsthand how operational complexity can hinder growth. The organizations that win aren't necessarily those with the most resources, but those that deploy them most effectively. 🔄 The journey from chaos to clarity begins

Trust isn't just a feel-good concept in business partnerships—it's the actual currency that determines success or failure. When I built our 40+ partner ecosystem spanning across US, EU, Middle East and APAC regions, I discovered that contracts and SOWs were just the beginning. The real work started with establishing a foundation of mutual trust. 🌍 What does trust look like in global partnerships?
