What Growth Takes: A podcast about what growth actually demands, not what the frameworks say. Real conversations with leaders in the middle of building organizations, developing people, and navigating change without a map. Because here is the reality: Everything is changing faster than most organizations can keep up with. AI is rewriting work. Markets are rewriting strategy. Generations are redefining what people want from their careers. In this podcast, we explore what that growth really demands. Because growth is not accidental. It is intentional. And it is deeply human.

    The Reinvention Blueprint with Devinder Kishore

    A thought-provoking episode of What Growth Takes! Hosted by Dolon Mitra. Most leaders learn to reinvent once. Devinder Kishore, SVP Marketing, International Operations at Schneider Electric, has done it again and again. In this episode we breaks down what actually makes reinvention work, and what quietly takes companies and careers down when it doesn't. Ideas worth borrowing from here: ·       Asymmetric human intelligence is the part AI can not copy: If enough sources say something consistently, AI treats it as true. That's exactly why it can not differentiate you. AI gives everyone the same consistent answers. The human edge is behavioral observation and out-of-the-box thinking that isn't sitting in any dataset. ·       Look outside-in, not inside-out: A professor once pointed out that since 2008 every one of his PhD students was researching Android, not Symbian an early signal Nokia missed. Watch external signals, even university research. Nokia kept calling its phones "multimedia computers" while customers were already searching for "smartphones." ·       Build cognitive diversity, do not recruit replicas of yourself: Bring in people who genuinely think differently. Gender is one marker of that, but so are culture, age, and experience. A team full of people like you can not challenge the status quo. Whether you're leading through disruption, rethinking your own career, or just trying to stay relevant as the rules keep changing, this conversation offers a rare, grounded perspective. About the Speaker:Devinder Kishore is SVP Marketing, International Operations at Schneider Electric, leading marketing across 95 countries. Over three decades he has built brands, teams, and growth engines across Unilever, Nokia, Microsoft, and Schneider, working across India, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Finland.   About the Host: Dolon Mitra's work spans capability building, assessment, and succession planning, so the right leaders are ready before the business needs them. Coaching for engagement is what she loves most — it's how she turns capable leaders into ones who can actually navigate their organizations towards growth

    From Writing Code to Designing Intelligence

    From Writing Code to Designing Intelligence A thought-provoking episode of What Growth Takes! In this episode, Jaswinder Ahuja, former Corporate VP & India MD at Cadence Design Systems and a 35-year veteran at the intersection of technology, leadership, and policy, joins Dolon Mitra to explore what's really happening beneath the surface of the AI boom. After this, you might rethink where AI's real value actually lies and who is really responsible for making sure people are not left behind. Here are the key takeaways: We're still in the "infrastructure" layer of AI — the real value sits above it: Most AI investment today is going into chips and power, the foundation layer. Jaswinder says the internet played out the same way: infrastructure first, real value later. The next layer, agentic AI included, is where the bigger opportunity lives, and it hasn't fully arrived yet.Technology moves at the speed of trust, not capability: Self-driving cars have had the technology for over a decade but still aren't everywhere, because nobody has agreed on full gamut of liabilities. AI adoption works the same way: it is not how smart the tech is, it is how ready the rules and ethics are.Keeping people in the equation is bigger than any one company: Businesses will chase the bottom line, and that's not a flaw. That is exactly why policy, society, and leadership matter. They rae what keeps people at the center as AI scales.Whether you're building in tech, leading a team through disruption, or just trying to make sense of where AI is really headed, this conversation offers a rare, grounded perspective from someone who has spent three decades inside the industry shaping it. About the Speaker:Jaswinder Ahuja is the former Corporate VP and India Managing Director at Cadence Design Systems, He is a founding member of the VLSI Society of India, former Chairman of the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association, and a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from VLSI Society of India. He now works with startups and venture capital firms shaping semiconductor industry strategy. About the Host:Dolon Mitra, her work centres on leadership capability that hasn't kept pace with a fast-scaling business, and leadership that looks strong on paper but isn't converting into real performance. She helps organizations close both gaps, so leadership growth keeps pace with the business, and shows up where it matters most, the results.
