HR Meet – 2nd September 2006

Often branded as the stepchild of any good business practice, its time for HR professionals to step back and ask ourselves whether we’re really doing as much as we can to make an organization successful. Are people that important? Are we wasting too much time doing what we do? And are we making a positive difference to the business at all? If yes, then how and if no, then how can we?

SIBM’s HR Meet will focus on the importance given to an organization’s most valuable asset – their employees. Top shots of industry will analyze the intricacies of the HR function, the importance and retention of manpower and their contribution to the profit of an organization. The speakers include Ms. Archana Shiroor (Country head- HR, Yes Bank), Mr. P. Dwarakanath (Ex-Director HR GSK ConsumerHealthcare) and Ms. Radhika Gopalkrishnan (Sr. Associate, Hewitt Associates).

Finance Meet – 3rd September 2006

World financial markets have witnessed formidable changes in the recent past, the most prominent among these being accelerated integration and globalization of world financial markets, increased securitization and corporate bond issuance, broadening and expansion of derivatives markets and improved regulatory standards.
In context of these developments we need gauge the potential of Indian financial markets and their status vis-à-vis the world markets. Through the medium of Summit SIBM we attempt to decrypt the current Indian financial scenario and analyze the future path of growth required to bring them at par with the developed financial markets.

The Finance Meet will see Mr. Damodaran (SEBI chief), Mr. J. Niranjan (Joint Head – Investment Banking, M&A; Advisor, ICICI Securities), Mr. Amul Gogna (Executive Director ICRA), Mr. N. S. Kannan (Executive Director ICICI Prudential Life Insurance ) and Mr. Rahul Roy (Professional Practice Director, Ernst& Young) discussing these issues and more.

Marketing Communications Meet – 9th September 2006

Fragmented markets, fragmented media and clichéd advertising are posing serious challenges to marketers in terms of defining the audience, breaking the clutter and reaching out to the customer. The Art of Customer Seduction is all about enticing the customer, not by insulting his intelligence but by arousing his senses. For this, we propose the four P ‘s o f Seduction – Personality, Promise, Panache and Publicity.

The Marketing Communications Meet will witness these issues being discussed by the top brass of industry like Mr. Rahul Kansal (an IIM alumnus with 23 years of experience in advertising and marketing), Mr. Rajiv Sabnis (COO Ambience Publicis), Mr. Rahul Johri (Senior VP –Sales & Marketing Discovery Networks) and Mr. Amit Agnihotri (co-founder and Director of the exchange4media portal and editor of Pitch).

Marketing Meet – 10th September 2006

Has being ‘customer-centric’ become a cliché? In an attempt to provide multiple customized solutions, are we actually killing our customers’ appetite by serving an excess? What is the fine line between spoiling for choice and harassing the customer with too many marketing gimmicks? Are we really using technology optimally to leverage marketing? Or is it all a gimmick? How much is too much marketing?

The Marketing meet will deliberate on these topics, making them the focus of discussion by the top brass of industry like Mr. Prakash Wakankar (MD, PerfettiVan Melle India), Mr. Atul Sinha (VP-Branded Edible Oils, AT Foods) and Mr. Sumeet Narang (Marketing Manager, P&G;).

A culmination of the Top Brass of various sectors, Summit SIBM will provide an invaluable opportunity for any aspiring manager to interact with the top of the corporate ladder and to take home insights that will last a lifetime!
