About Vivek S

If you want to become a trusted Adviser, Do not tell the Consumer what is already in the public domain but Tell him what he doesn\'t know already\"As Steve Jobs quotes “Details matter, it\'s worth waiting to get it right”, has been my mantra for my career path. As the Lead Mechanical Engineer for the XUV5oo engine development program at M&M (Automotive), we created a category winning product design after a 4 year rigorous validation period. This achievement helped to create a sense of intuition to understand the growing consumer needs for better relevant product designs. Even at CEAT Tyres, the initiative to start the Distribution management at Kolkata with the market potential Mapping Drive (To Capture market size of 20K Motorcycle Tyres) will give a much better insight for a GO TO Market Strategy to improve the Channel Sales and increase the market shareThe Business Design course at Welingkar Institute of Management helped to hone the skill set of need identification and entrepreneurial ability to convert ideas to business models through the concept of Design Thinking. Design Thinking is an inside-out process to create an innovative but rational, customer-centric solution. The methodology deployed is to observe the consumer in her day-to-day life and gain insight into the latent needs, ideate, conceptualise and commercialise a product/service. Why Business Design- MBA education: 100 years old (Harvard 1908); has evolved with times keeping its promise to all its aspirants. However, there is a greater need to focus on long term goals to sustain businesses and enhance growth. Business Leaders need to seek out opportunities and address problems that cut across functional boundaries. Even managers of large companies have to act and think like entrepreneurs to constantly create and recreate successful business strategies. They need to synthesize information and co-ordinate projects and resources on an increasingly global scale.
