As the world is slowly emerging out of the global recession, a fresh set of economic challenges are staring down at us. There is no doubt that global economy is facing strong headwinds which will impact growth and prospects in the future. Firms in the IT and Knowledge based Professional Services Industry are no exception to this rapidly changing macroeconomic environment.
 
In order to not just survive but excel, it’s pertinent that IT and Knowledge Services firms in India accelerate the pace of globalization, leverage new technologies, build non-linear business models and develop products and services which can take them to the next level and help achieve inclusive growth. It’s time to look beyond legacy territories, beyond organic growth models and explore new markets and consolidate. Inclusive growth globally and locally will help in addressing the challenges of talent, infrastructure cost, margin pressure and competition. In the pursuit of these new strategies, leadership will need to play a key role. Multi-level leadership programs will have to be developed for creating leaders who are ready for the bold plays of tomorrow.

• Kris Gopalakrishnan, Executive Co-Chairman, Infosys Technologies
