How do leaders turn culture from a constraint into a driver of transformation?
In today’s fast-changing business environment, transformation isn’t just about technology - it’s about people. Culture is often the invisible force that determines whether change efforts succeed or stall. In this session, Sanjay Menon, Managing Director of Publicis Sapient India, will explore how cultural mindsets, leadership behaviours and inclusion strategies collectively shape the outcomes of transformation journeys. Drawing from his experience leading a 10,000+ global delivery team and his advocacy for purpose-driven growth, he will share how culture must evolve from being a compliance issue to a strategic asset - one that empowers talent, enables agility and drives sustainable value.
