Hi everyone, season 2 of the EITF project is here! We are starting off this season with a bang! Our first guest is KVS Manian. He may be a familiar name to a lot of you so he needs no introduction, but I’ll introduce him anyway.
Where do we start? KVS Manian started out with a bachelors degree in engineering. He then got a post graduate degree in financial management, before embarking on an illustrious 30 plus years in the financial services industry in India. He has a wide variety of experience in investment, corporate, consumer and wholesale banking financial and management accounting, operations and control. He is currently the whole time director and member of the management council at Kotak Mahindra Bank.
He has worked at Kotak Mahindra Bank for nearly 28 years now, and has been part of building the company from ground up, to the institution that it is today. Manian has made dramatic shifts in the positions that he took up within his organization, always making the new role his own, and rising to the top.
All right, let’s talk about his interview. Manian is a very engaging speaker, and we cover a lot of topics. We talk about business building, we talk about people and organization management, psychological safety, and a lot more.
You will find that his answers are well thought through. It is very interesting that he has spent around 28 years in an organization, donning different roles, is an expert in his field, but is still learning everyday. He says in his interview, that although he has worn a management hat for many departments, he is still not the resident expert in all fields. He learns from his peers everyday. A lot of us who are from tech, end up having a similar education background.
But one thing that we also have in common, is the fear of an uncertain industry. We address this topic as well, and we think Manian has some amazing insights on how we can overcome this fear. Enjoy the interview everyone! This was amazing and massive for us!
