Industry Stalwarts Ravi Kant & Rajesh Srivastava address session at RGU
GUWAHATI, September 9, 2025: The Assam Royal Global University (RGU) today hosted an impactful Management Development Program titled “Leading from
the Back to Achieve the Impossible”, featuring distinguished industry leaders Mr. Ravi Kant, Former CEO & Vice Chairman
of Tata Motors, and Mr. Rajesh Srivastava, Former President of JK Helene Curtis, Raymond Group.
Through engaging sessions, the eminent speakers emphasized the importance of cultivating an open mind, one that seeks
new opportunities instead of dwelling on the past. The program brought together 30 participants representing leading
industries of the North East, including Amalgamated Plantations, ITC Limited, Reliance Jio, Datamation, Topcem Cement,
and Star Cement. Participants left with a renewed commitment to embracing this transformative leadership style.
The sessions highlighted the art of framing the right questions and the power of empathetic listening—understanding not
just words, but also body language and tone. The opening session introduced participants to the idea of tapping into the
subconscious mind to generate creative solutions.
A key takeaway for participants was the concept of “leading from the back” by empowering teams, fostering collective wisdom through dialogue, and focusing on problem-solving with fresh perspectives. The speakers also underlined the need to address the often-overlooked “ROI”—Risk of Inaction—which has caused many organizations to fail.
