Manthan is a Sanskrit word, which literally translates to “churning”. Productiva Group’s leadership team comes together once in a year to conduct group wide’ Manthan’ to brainstorm to churn out new ideas, focus areas, innovations and set course of action for the coming year.
This has been an annual offsite event mostly conducted in Bangalore and always graced by a guest speaker, industry pioneers and recognized leaders. Entertaining events like ‘Comedy Show’, ‘Dance performance’ or some other engaging events by internal and external participants are held. Being a responsible corporate entity, this time we limited the participation to the internal team, due to COVID-19. Top 30 executives of the firm attended the event.
This year ‘Manthan’ took place at ‘Forum Hall’ of the lush green Palm Meadows Resort & Club in Whitefield, Bengaluru. Manthan 2020 was a very productive and successful event considering the launch of our global expansion initiatives, induction of new leaders, innovative internal Global Data Management software ‘PRIME’ and more.
The event began with words of inspiration, appreciation and gratitude by Mrs. Shenaz Khan – Group CEO (Niche Staffing services & Indian operations), followed by a series of planned, fun-filled team building exercises. A special session on vision casting; drafting associated task lists to monitor, execute and achieve the same. Was conducted by Mr. Wasim Khan – Group CEO (Leadership hiring & Offshore contract staffing services). This individual ‘Vision casting’ approach will consolidates into Group-wide Vision for 2021 with related action points for execution in order to realise the vision.
This year ‘Manthan 2020’ also announced the launch of our proprietary internal software tool i.e., PRIME to ‘Manage Global Candidate Database, Internal Recruitment Staff and Client management’, a single version of truth for the entire Group. With PRIME, the aim is to not only make work quicker and simpler, to promote better flow of data, but also to capture experience and invested effort to build our own independent resource pool for the future.
This year Manthan also saw induction of new Indian and Global leaders for various initiatives. Mr. Rahul Arora was given additional Group level role as Chief Operating Officer (Group COO). Mrs. Sheeja Cassius joined us as Associated Vice President (Leadership hiring arm of the Group). She comes with a rich Technology leadership & Client engagement background having worked with Indian IT Giant Infosys Technologies. We announced Mr. Pranay Gupta’s induction to lead US Operations as Vice President, based out of Dallas Texas. We also recently inducted Ms. Vanshika Sharma to lead our Global Marketing Initiatives and PRIME.
‘Manthan’ has been a most sought after event internally, and we are thankful to team Productiva for coming together on a Saturday and sharing their views and ideas. As always our Executive Team is committed to the common vision and it’s realization. We will ensure all possible support to the team in order to help achieve their dreams. Let us go get it Productivans!
