During his address, Prof. Charan urged Indian PSEs to adopt an “outside-in” perspective, encouraging leaders to think from the “future back” rather than being mere observers of global shifts. By identifying external vulnerabilities before they escalate into crises, he argued that enterprises can better protect their capacity and remain globally competitive. He highlighted the unique strengths of the Indian public sector, noting that fostering a leadership mindset at every level is the primary driver for creating sustainable value for the nation.

The session concluded with a focus on Prof. Charan’s three-pronged approach for the future: compassionate transition, a mission of mentorship, and an outside-in mindset. These pillars are designed to bridge the persistent gap between high-level strategy and tangible results. For the leadership at SCOPE, the engagement served as a powerful reminder that strategic excellence is fueled by grounded wisdom and infectious energy. The insights gained from this masterclass are set to inform SCOPE’s upcoming initiatives aimed at empowering the workforce and cultivating the next generation of future-ready leaders.Shri  Atul Sobti, Director General of SCOPE welcomes guest.

This year, the festivities come for the first time since the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2020. In 2020, no Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations took place for the first time in its over eight decades of existence.

The festival, celebrated mainly in Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, will begin on Ganesh Chaturthi which is falling on 31 August this time. Maharshtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said that the Covid-19 curbs have been lifted, as also the limits on the height of the Lord Ganesh idols.
