“Success during uncertain times should not get into one’s head and failure should not get into the heart while running a business”, said K Ullas Kamath, Joint Managing Director, Jyothy Laboratories.
Speaking on the theme ‘Building sustainable business during uncertain times - unique challenges and smart solutions’ at the inauguration of the Nitte CEO Conclave 2019, organised by the Justice KS Hegde Institute of Management at Nitte in Udupi district on Saturday, he said that running a business in uncertain times is easier than running a business in certain times.
Kamath said that for his business, employees are given more priority than customers. “If an employee is happy, he will make his customers happy. Today’s challenge for a business is to make employees really energised ones,” he said.
Satheesh Kumar Bhandary, Vice Chancellor of Nitte (deemed-to-be university), said that businesses across the globe thrive in uncertainty. He said that uncertainty creates challenges and opportunities. Stating that hard times may not last long, he addedthat future business leaders need to understand this fact.
K Sankaran, Director of the institute, who presided over the inaugural function, urged the future managers to develop a mental attitude to challenge things.
