Anish Shah: 作为Mahindra集团的CEO,我深感荣幸能够守护并传承公司自1945年以来建立的使命驱动文化。我们的创始人早在公司成立之初,便在《印度时报》上刊登广告,阐述了公司的核心价值观,包括尊重劳动、精英制度、反对反社会趋势以及企业在社会中的角色。这些价值观构成了我们企业文化的DNA,并体现在我们“以人为本”的理念中。我们坚信,以目标为先导,利润自然会随之而来。这种文化不仅帮助我们吸引和留住最优秀的人才,也使我们能够更好地服务于社会和社区。在日常运营中,我们始终将这些价值观融入决策过程,确保我们的行动与我们的使命相符。例如,我们优先考虑女童教育和妇女赋权,并设定了每年帮助一百万人的目标。同时,我们也拒绝参与某些不符合我们价值观的业务,即使这意味着会错过短期利润。我们相信,通过坚守我们的使命和价值观,我们可以为所有利益相关者创造长期价值。 Anish Shah: 在应对全球贸易变化和地缘政治不确定性时,我们始终保持敏捷和适应性。我们从COVID-19疫情和半导体危机中吸取了宝贵的经验,建立了强大的风险管理能力和快速响应机制。我们密切关注全球经济形势,并根据实际情况调整我们的业务战略。同时,我们也积极寻找新的机遇,通过创新和合作来应对挑战。我们深知,只有不断学习和适应,才能在不确定的环境中保持竞争力。此外,我们还注重与供应商和合作伙伴建立长期稳定的关系,确保他们与我们的价值观保持一致。我们相信,通过共同努力,我们可以克服困难,实现可持续发展。作为领导者,我的主要职责是守护公司文化,培养人才,并保持清晰的思路。我鼓励我的团队设定远大的目标,并为他们提供支持和资源,帮助他们实现目标。同时,我也强调执行的重要性,确保我们的战略能够有效地转化为实际行动。
