The automotive industry has more or less been a product-centric industry for more than a century. However, services have been an essential part of this industry and have been a significant contributor to industry players’ bottom line. In the recent years, this industry being on the cusp of technological disruption driven by several factors including Environmental Concerns, Governmental regulations and societal changes seems to be taking a decisive turn towards a being service-driven industry. This webinar will focus on Indian passenger car industry making this journey.

#CONNECTING is a series of communication pieces from IIMBAA to alumni, to promote and nurture the exchange of ideas and to stay in close touch with alums, on matters of policy, programmes and new initiatives. Hear from IIMBAA President Harish Mittal, in this first piece of the #Connecting series.

#CONNECTING

Dear Fellow Alumni,

I am honoured to serve as the President of the prestigious alumni association of our alma mater, IIMB. Our shared singular goal is to build strong and lasting relationships with our alumni across India and the world, whilst generating tangible opportunities to enhance mutual growth, and thereby create positive long term impact across our collective communities. My clarion call to all of you is to join me and my team of elected office bearers across the chapters in India and overseas, to reflect on the way we connect with each other, to re-think the way we can collaborate together to make IIMBAA stand tall. Always.

Elections, Exec Board, Council and E-meetings

Friends, we are in an unprecedented and extraordinary time amidst a global pandemic. Yet, in keeping with the true spirit of IIMBAA, we have transformed this adversity into an opportunity. The last few months have seen several firsts: A fabulously conducted election, which was the first-ever in the history of IIMBAA, done with utmost transparency and efficiency; a record number of meetings and alumni engagement activities, that have dissolved our geographical boundaries, evidenced by enthusiastic attendance from across all chapters; a first Executive Board meeting, followed by the first Executive Council meeting; all of this has happened virtually and seamlessly. Thanks to some incredible work from our alumni office, all chapter office bearers and my core team of trustees.

Our Future and (IIMBAA) family

I am very excited at the possibilities that lie ahead, for us. It was great to see the amazing cultural diversity in our Executive Council meeting; many young alums who have so generously volunteered their time, strong women leaders who bring a fresh perspective to the table and senior alums whose wisdom and experience will add terrific value to the audacious goals and vision that we have set for ourselves, for these three years, until 2023, and beyond.

Our IIMBAA family is quite huge. Close to 20,000 alumni spread across numerous cities, several countries and most likely all seven continents. Our collective power is immense. I urge you to think of ways in which you can engage with our larger alumni community, and I also wish to challenge you to think of ways you can give back to the Institute, to whatever degree you are comfortable. Giving back can be in the form of time, talent or treasure. And giving back has a massively positive side effect. It feels very good.

I thank you all for standing by me and our elected team members, and we look forward to serving you and IIMBAA, in the best possible way we can. I also take this opportunity to wish you and yours a sparkling Diwali. As the world is getting more and more complex, let us make a promise to stay connected, to stay healthy and to stay safe.

Warmly
