unwilling, led by the unpurposeful

Business Outlook

Pros

For those in Digital & Technology (D&T), success is achievable by being close to leadership and mastering the art of storytelling, even if lacking substance.

Cons

Management's perception of success is out of touch with market reality and competitive performance. Hiring, particularly for leadership, lacks understanding of FMCG needs, pulling irrelevant talent from sectors like banking. Promotions prioritize D&I initiatives over merit and proven substance. Leadership lacks substance is apt for GCC India management. Hiring is not a success criterion for FMCG. Open your eyes to the fact business has been struggling, and we have people who have been out of work, Ideas for many years.
