Roshni believes Innovation is a necessary evil and one of her biggest challenges today at the helm of HCL Technologies and managing a workforce of 200,000, with an average age of 25 years, across 52 countries, is to keep them engaged and thriving. She says as one of the biggest employers and contributors to GDP in India (Tech exports comprise $200bn), the Tech industry is best poised to drive innovation in culture and people. Motivate them to be productive, loyal and ensure results and growth for the company. Innovation in workforce management and design thinking in the workplace is what will drive the future of work. Innovation requires experimentation and taking risks, and as Roshni would say, ‘Always take that leap of faith – else how will you ever know what the next step is?’
