His journey is marked by strategic exits, profitable turnovers and game-changing decisions. One of his career highlights? Crafting an exit plan for Geant locations in the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. This wasn't just a move—it was a masterstroke that not only brought exceptional returns for shareholders but also paved the way to introduce well-loved brands like Geant, Franprix and Monoprix to the region in record time.

It was great experience hosting Vikram for a tête-à-tête session on Innovation. Innovation is a topic very close to my heart and I couldn't have let this opportunity pass :). We assume innovation happens in startups or limited to certain departments or certain roles. We limit ourselves with unseen boundaries and assume getting a buy-in or navigating the system would be tough. We often tend to think that ideathons and hackathons are the beginning and end of an innovation journey. Talking to Vikram was quite refreshing. He talked about being passionate about trying to solve a problem, narrating the problem in such a way that the stakeholders feel the pain, being assertive about the solution but at the end of the day, be content with the budget that gets allocated to the initiative to move from point A to point B instead of trying to get directly to point Z! Thanks Vikram for sharing your personal journey, the role GCCs could play, insights about measuring the innovation fabric of a team and the three mantras of pitching an idea! The story of Indian Liquors and the innovation happening in that field was certainly an icing on the cake (or can I say foam on the beer 😉) #innovation | #Techinnovations | #GCCs | Anko GCC
