Introduction

Naseba thanks you for your support

I would like to thank you for participating at the 6th Annual CFO Strategies Forum India on September 13th and 14th 2012 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Mumbai, India.

The forum was hosted under the theme ‘Navigate through uncertainty - achieve sustainable growth’. During the two days you listened to revealing panel discussions, insightful keynote presentations and attended interactive workshop sessions on topics relevant to the theme. Furthermore, you shared points of view and experiences with your finance peers.

This forum hosted nearly 130 C-level executives, directors, executive vice presidents, presidents as well as managing directors in the field of finance from the leading companies in India.

This post-event report gives you a breakdown and reference guide to the proceedings and also provides you with information on our upcoming events.

I hope that the insights you have gained by attending our event will help you to navigate through these uncertain times and achieve sustainable success - on a personal as well as a professional level.

Overview

Day one:

The forum’s theme - ‘Navigate through uncertainty - achieve sustainable growth’ - was broken down into three levels:

1. ECONOMIC: Global and national

2. CORPORATE: Functional

3. PERSONAL: Career

The forum opened with a keynote speech by Nitin Jaiswal, Head of Sales ASEAN at Bloomberg LP, analysing the current economic situation of India and why the country is currently facing a ‘seven year itch’. Dr Paritosh Basu, Group Controller at Essar Group, then shared the best strategies for a risk management oriented approach for IP and listing of equity shares.

Following this, Indranil Pan, Chief Economist at Kotak Mahindra Bank; Dr Paritosh Basu; R Kannan, Head of Corporate Performance Management at Hinduja Group; and Nitin Jaiswal discussed how to master financial risk management.

The afternoon began with workshops - the first featured Keri Brooke, Vice President of Marketing at Host Analytics, who offered her insights on how CFOs can use cloud for corporate performance management. David Hatt, Asia Pacific Solutions Manager at IBM, then provided valuable input on how to transform the office of finance through analytics. Prashant Tewari, Country Manager - Business Analytics India/South Asia at IBM and Rejesh Shewani, Technical Sales Leader for the company in India and South Asia, demonstrated how CFOs can improve performance insight and forecasting.

With a keynote speech named CFOs and HR: Money can’t buy you happiness; but perhaps a happy employee?
