Satven Sankalp

Recognizing the need to re-invent and re-brand ourselves, as well as commit ourselves to higher growth trajectories, Satven’s annual business plan meet was held from the 3rd till the 7th of April 2023 in the outskirts of Hyderabad.

The FY24 growth workshop was aptly named “Sankalp”, a deep Sanskrit word which is actually difficult to translate in modern languages such as English – it broadly means Resolution, Determination, Commitment, Intention, and Resolve.

The annual business plan meeting is a crucial event for the organization, as it sets the direction and goals for the subsequent financial year. Senior management representing various departments from all geographies (that we are operating in) participated in this landmark event.

During the days of the workshop, our past performance was presented by the management team along with FY24 focus areas as per geography, practice, and function. Strategies for growing at an accelerated pace, new technology areas, initiatives to improve productivity were all identified and discussed.

The workshop provided a timely opportunity for participants to express their ideas, provide feedback, discuss potential roadblocks, and collaborate on possible solutions.

It helped stakeholders align with and commit to achieving the organization’s ambitious goals.

The passion and enthusiasm with which they wanted to ensure the success of the event was heart-warming to see.
