Size Does Matter

Check out recent interviews, from Digital Learning, with Hurix CEO Subrat Mohanty and Brainvisa CEO Supam Maheshwari.

The thing about these CEO interviews is the predictability of answers provided. This may also have to do with the kind of questions asked. Everybody ends up plugging their company or a product, dishing out top level gyaan and vague numbers on the size of the markets. I hope we get to see some real interviews this year!

The only question however, where I felt these gentlemen came close to speaking their hearts was the one on critical roadblocks. Here are the responses for that one.

Q: What have been the critical roadblocks for you ?

Supam Maheshwari, CEO-Brainvisa: "Building deeper, integrated partnership with clients take enormous amounts of time in the industry. Our most critical and the biggest road block has been to try to reduce this time-frame. We can work with a client on any spoke of this wheel to begin with, and would like to transition it towards completing all spokes of this wheel and meet our objective of building a long term partnership."

Subrat Mohanty, CEO-Hurix: "Size. Very often we think and act like a company more than ten times our size. As a result, we end up competing against much larger entities both for business as well as talent. In these situations, our size sometimes acts as a roadblock."
