Preface

Future Of Work
Diversifying, Personalising & Adapting

Change is the only constant, be it in your personal or professional life. In this new-age world where the landscape is ever changing and evolving there has been a visible shift towards renewed growth. We today charter a zig zag path when it comes to achieving success and straight lines are blurred. Markets are always fluctuating and competitors are constantly on the look out to identify short falls in order to create opportunities. A new technology is born every day and innovation is the need of the hour. In this digital era, constantly re-inventing is important to prevent oneself from becoming obsolete.
The Human Resources Function along with the entire organisation is facing a dynamic and complex environment but the capability to deal or handle these changes successfully depends on one factor alone – WORKFORCE. The Human Resource, though a very complex resource that is available plays a pivotal role in each and every organization and it is imperative to have a workforce that is happy, secure and satisfied to increase efficiency and loyalty. This often calls for the HR function in an organization to be more strategic, effective as well as adaptable as the workforce today is setting in motion fundamental changes like remote working, temp staffing, freelance roles, future-proofing strategies, etc. There is a growing need for specialised skills in the workforce. The onset of the use of new strategies like mobile and social media are enabling greater collaborations and enhanced visibility, it is fairly safe to say that an organisation’s employees comprises several generations of workers and all differ in their way of thinking and working, the HR has to ensure that the workplace contains an adaptable and flexible working environment to accommodate different needs and preferences. In all this turmoil of change, one thing is crystal clear – The HR is facing new challenges and it is the need of the hour to re-think strategies and adapt to change and with this in purview, Sapphire Connect is honoured to announce The First Edition of the Virtual Rethink HR Annual Conclave 2021 which will focus on the challenges and the solutions in the HR function. This one-day summit will witness HR leaders from across industries come together to think, deliberate and strategize.

India Diversity Conclave 2021
2021-04-07 09:30 - 17:00
Overview

India Diversity Conclave
Diversifying, Personalising & Adapting
Just creating a forum and trying to make a difference in silos is not the right approach to efficiency. It is important for the industries to come together, at least once a year, share their best practices, learn of international trends and solutions, deliberate on the challenges and solutions thereof and pledge to make all workplaces happy places to work in – on the basic foundations of diversity, equity and inclusion. Hence, India Diversity Conclave (IDC). The culmination of all IDF activities will take place at its annual event – India Diversity Conclave. IDC will be the largest event under IDF, bringing together all member organisations, industry council chairs, IDF advisors and D&I experts, for sharing their best practices and charting out the course ahead for the coming year. India Diversity Conclave will be the platform not only to deliberate trends, dissect challenges and underline solutions based on knowledge, experience and case studies on diversity and inclusion but also crystal gaze into the future on diversity and inclusion.
Current Trends And Headlines
The National Human Resource Development Network (NHRDN) has partnered with Shraddhanjali Rao (VP & Head HR, SAP in India) and Bhrigu Joshi (Director-HR, SAP in India) to set up first-of-its-kind Inclusion Lab in the country. The mission of the lab is to make corporate India an inclusive place to work in
The economic gender gap runs particularly deep in India. Only one-third of the gap has been bridged (score of 35.4%, 149th, down 7 places). Since 2006, the gap has gotten significantly wider. Among the 153 countries studied, India is the only country where the economic gender gap is larger than the political gender gap. – WEF – GGGR 2020
The country (India) has closed two-thirds of its overall gender gap (score of 66.8%). However, the condition of women in large fringes of India’s society is precarious. It has lost four positions since the previous edition, despite a small score improvement, as some countries ranked lower than India have improved more. – WEF – GGGR 2020
The COVID crisis too has presented a unique opportunity to organisations to improve their diversity quotient. As Work-From-Home becomes the new normal, many organisations are considering extending this flexibility post the COVID crisis. Usually women leave the talent pool for maternity and child care. Later, they often become reluctant to resume work, but as work-from-home becomes the new norm, the number of working women should see an upward trend.
Recent studies suggest that most leaders do not rank diversity and workplace culture as a top priority

India Diversity Job Fair 2021
2021-08-27 09:30 - 2021-08-28 18:00
Overview

India Diversity Job Fair 2021

At India Diversity Forum, we believe that the real change in the employment world vis-à-vis diversity and inclusion will come with the right hiring – of professionals irrespective of their gender, age, religious background, disability and cultural background. A promising candidate must be hired on his/ her proficiency and competence to deliver in the required position and there should be no discrimination in hiring. Hence, IDF is organising an annual mega Job Fair, India Diversity Job Fair 2021, and invites companies to hire candidates. These candidates will include professionals on job, out of job, on sabbatical, disabled, educated and skilled homemakers who could not enter the employment world owing to their family commitments but are talented
and skilled, just out of college students, professionals in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s (some companies have begun hiring retired professionals) and all educated or candidates looking for jobs irrespective of any factor. We believe: if they are good for your job, hire them. Hence, we have decided Equal Opportunity For All in Jobs as our theme for the Job Fair.
We will also have a few knowledge sessions as a parallel activity for the HR professionals and candidates, who are either waiting for their interviews or have completed the process of their interviews.

Who should attend?

Payground The New Age Payments E-Summit 2021
2021-12-10 09:00 - 17:00
Preface
From swiping to contactless cards payments, we have conveniently moved from cash to a cash-free world over the last decade. Payment systems have changed faster than ever and especially in Asia. Contactless and mobile payments have seen a considerable boom, especially in response to increasing demand of e-commerce growth and, more recently, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The digital economy is growing exponentially thus eliminating cash payments completely. With credit cards came the idea of paying with plastic, with cashless transactions it simply means that there will be no need for any physical representation of money in the future at all. While these new payment methods have opened up a world of opportunities for merchants and consumers alike but they also come with challenges that need to be addressed and with a need to enable easy adoption at large. With this in purview, we at Sapphire Connect are glad to present to you the 2nd Annual PayGround E-Summit 2021 – Asia Edition. The summit is centered on the theme “Instant. Accessible. Universal.” This summit will witness a pragmatic mix of content discussing on the rapid transformation, the needs for effectively identifying and implementing the most relevant solutions that can help to further optimize the existing system and unlock new business opportunities.

Payments Scenario in Asia

The Asian payments system has been growing exponentially over the past few years in terms of revenue growth and is one of the largest contributors to the global payments revenue.

Some Facts

Total transaction value in the Digital Payments segment is projected to reach US$3,716,663m in 2021.
Total transaction value is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2021-2025) of 10.48% resulting in a projected total amount of US$5,536,361m by 2025.
The market’s largest segment is Digital Commerce with a projected total transaction value of US$2,237,110m in 2021.
From a global comparison perspective, it is shown that the highest cumulated transaction value is reached in China (US$2,915,336m in 2021).

Rethink HR Annual Conclave 2022
2022-03-10 09:30 - 17:00 | Mumbai, India
Preface

Everything has changed. For Businesses. For Leaders. For Employees. And as things came to become normal, one thing that has become clear is that the “Power has shifted”. From profits to mutual prosperity. From organizations to people. From “me” to “we”. Disruptive innovations have created new industries and business models, by simply destroying the old ones. New technologies, data analytics and social networks have gained importance in how people communicate, collaborate and work. As generations collide, workforces are becoming more diverse. Many of the roles and job titles of tomorrow will be ones we’ve not even thought of yet. Thus, how are these developments going to affect the talent of your business needs? How can you attract, retain and motivate employees? How is HR going to change? What will the relationships between employers and employees look like in the future? And what will be the implications for Human Resources? To decode what the future of HR is going to be, we at SAPPHIRE CONNECT are glad to present the 2ND ANNUAL RETHINK HR CONCLAVE 2022 centered on the theme “REWRITE, REINVENT, REDESIGN: THE FUTURE OF HR”. Through this conclave we aim to bring the HR leaders together who are the driving forces for the various initatives in their organizations together to discuss on how they are mapping talent to value; making workforce more flexible; prioritizing strategic workforce planning, performance management, and reskilling; building an HR platform; and developing an HR tech ecosystem.

Perspective Roundtable
2022-06-17 18:30 - 20:30
Digital transformation has brought unrivalled opportunities and capabilities for growth and value creation to organizations; yet opportunities can’t be realized without dealing with risk.

Thought Leaders Of India
2022-07-05 08:00 - 17:00
One of the marvellous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals.
~ Jean Vanier
There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.
~ Margaret J. Wheatley

Preface
Success stories are not easy to build. Or, write. Or design. They often have a long path of trials, tribulations, dreams, building foundations beneath those dreams, research sagas, fund-sourcing initiatives, failures, rising above failures, retrials, lessons learnt and experiences taken before the destination is achieved. And at Destination Success further lie challenges, crisis, sustainability, upskilling and scalability waiting for additional attention, focus and sharpening of acumen. Those who finally succeed in taking their endeavours to the top of the rung despite the dares and disasters, emerge as Leaders. Leaders who Innovate. Leaders who Inspire. Leaders who create an Impact.
These Leaders are game-changers with an immense body of work behind them that can positively impact the lives and livelihoods of others and help them grow, evolve, learn, prosper and enrich their lives. They are leaders who can, through their experiences and expertise, make a larger impact on businesses, people & professionals, government bodies, educational institutions, NGOs, sports, start-ups, society, and also the nation. These legends are who we call Thought Leaders.
These Thought Leaders have the potential to write newer narratives for India. Because, once they have crafted the success path of their business or endeavour, they can write more success stories – in their personal life, on their professional canvas, in their societal sphere, on the nation’s growth curve and sometimes, on the billboards of international relations. They need a forum, a group of peers, that enables them to extend this idea further – together as a team, as a squad, as a club. As a community.
Thought Leaders of India is one such exclusive community.
Thought Leaders of India
Thought Leaders of India is the nation’s top Leadership Community of exceptional industry leaders across genres, who come together as individuals or representatives of their organisations and give back to society what they earned through discussions, experience-sharing and mentoring, thereby facilitating a huge growth impact. These are Leaders who meet with senior government officers and share insights with them on contemporary issues, share their knowledge with the students by addressing them, mentor start-ups, adopt NGOs for imparting advice, associate with sports bodies to revive or upscale them, and do much more. They, through membership of the Community, bring their individual or collective expertise to add value to various factors and forums through well-crafted networking platforms and meaningful engagements of the Community through the year.
Who then, are these thought leaders who have the potential to positively impact our lives? Who are these sharp game changers who have the acumen to spot the black hole of a society’s development and suggest solutions? Who are these empowered frontrunners who are ready to steal some time from their hectic schedules and devote it towards nation building? And in the process, towards personal enhancement?
These Thought Leaders are the chosen few heads and entrepreneurs from the top rung of Industries, Businesses, Government Bodies, NGOs, Banks, Financial Institutions, Judicial System, Hospitality Industry, Medical Institutions, Entertainment Arena, Architecture Firms, Real Estate Companies, etc., who are not only leading lights in their chosen vocations but also enjoy a position of influence, impression and ingenuity in the corridors of powers-that-be. These Thought Leaders who make an impact are You.
Why create Thought Leaders of India?
After having reached the pinnacle of their profession, Thought Leaders look for meaningful engagements to wind down, network, partake in nation-building initiatives and enjoy peer-based experiences. Also, in the times when disparity and discord has become the bane of life and the governments find it difficult to manage the overwhelming needs and demands of society, the Thought Leaders can make a difference across spectrums of society through advisory, expertise and deliberations with the top decision makers. They can be part of thought forums and help arrive at solutions to mitigate problems. They can do a lot. And they can have immense value added to their personal, professional and family life too with engagements with their peers.
Hence, the Community: Thought Leaders of India.
Patron Members
The Community has some distinguished Patron Members. These are Leaders who have excelled in their personal and professional spheres and set such an irreproachable example of personal, professional and social conduct that most of us aspire to emulate them, to be like them, to learn from them. Lifetime Members of Thought Leaders of India, they are the guiding force of the Community. They will advise, endorse, approve, and guide the Community of Thought Leaders throughout.
Highlights
The Thought Leaders of India is not an event-driven exercise. It is an engagement community that connects you with your peers, creates an interface with the Patron members, enables engagements with national and international luminaries and decision-makers, facilitates value-added endeavours and helps you derive contentment of finding a purpose and fulfilling it.
Along with your work, family and personal time, Thought Leaders of India adds a fourth quadrant to your life – that of creating an impact through engagements. To facilitate these engagements for you, you are provided with a Personal Concierge.
The Thought Leaders of India:

identifies your peers and creates your community.

creates opportunities for you according to your interests.
creates meeting platforms with senior Government Officials.
creates special entertainment experiences for you.
gives you access to ‘only-by-invitation’ events.

The Perfect Questions
What is in it for me?Lots. Value. Networking. Prospects for your areas of interest. Meaningful meetings. Occasions to enhance the learning curve. Contentment. Entertainment. Opportunities to give back to society what you received from it. Chance to guide the Leaders of Tomorrow.
How much of my time will it take? As much as you like and as little as you choose. You will keep receiving engagement opportunities and invitations. You can choose the ones you have time for and opt for the areas you want to make a deep impact in.
Who all can become members?Thought Leaders of India is a ‘strictly by invitation’ Community of leaders who have arrived. Your membership will have to be endorsed by a Patron Member or any two existing members of the Community.
Is there something more I should know?

Preface
ReThink HR Conclave 2022-23The modern workplace has changed and HR executives are now at the forefront of this new world. As businesses struggled to recover from the cultural and economic impact of COVID-19, HR Leaders have been facing a new set of challenges such as from transitioning into the new hybrid world while maintaining culture and innovation to engaging this in an equitable way.

India’s Most Agile HR Leaders – Coffee Table Book
2022-08-26 09:30 - 17:00
Preface
With economic, climate and pandemic pressures creating an environment of constant challenge for today’s businesses, many look at organizational agility as the way to increase resilience and ensure speedy recovery from events – such as the ‘black swans’ or the slower-evolving challenges. But embedding agility is challenging. It requires the right leadership – not just at the top, but right through the process of driving agility in the organization. Agile leaders are the ones who motivate and guide people through the biggest challenges. In HR we talk about an agile mindset which is more than just post-it notes and scrum boards. It is all about moving out of the traditional best HR practices and embracing a test and learn approach to deliver value, value that is validated by people and their experience of work. At Sapphire Connect, we believe that the key to success is to find it through a test and learn cycle and HR leaders have the ability to revolutionize and help co-create the future of work by transforming and meeting the challenges of a volatile, uncertain and complex business world.
Having said this, we are glad to announce the 2nd Edition of “India’s Most Agile HR Leaders 2022” Coffee Table Book where we would be featuring HR leaders who have experimented, tested and learned on how to reinvent their people operations to be more human-centric and deliver business value, no matter what industry or type of organization they have worked in.

3rd Annual India’s Most Agile HR Leaders 2023 – Coffee Table Book Launch
2023-07-21 08:00 - 17:00
Preface
HR Agile Leaders are inclusive, democratic leaders who exhibit a greater openness to ideas and innovations. They have all the skills required to effectively motivate others and act as a change agent inside their business, including a love for learning, a focus on people development, and a strong ability to articulate and express a desired vision. Agile Leadership is a completely new style of managing people; effective Agile Leaders are re-engaging their teams, reviving their businesses, and redefining how work is accomplished.
Sapphire Connect is glad to announce the 3rd edition of the India’s Most Agile HR Leaders 2023 to highlight the success of HR Leaders who have effectively adopted Agile transformation with an approach that prioritizes speed, responsiveness, flexibility, and collaboration.
What the Agile HR Leaders do?
True Agile Leaders…
· Embrace every aspect of agility
· Set a clear vision that their team can embrace and own
· Believe in their mission and live it on a daily basis
· Build a culture of self-organizing and self-managing teams
· Focus on what really matters- delivering value
· Help their team members take care of the customers
What is Agile Leadership?
Agile leadership isn’t a destination… it’s a journey:
· Agile leadership versus good leadership: Several leaders can believe that adding “agile” to “excellent leadership” makes you an agile leader and vice versa. Yet, this is untrue because agile leadership has a completely different feel than traditional leadership. Different leadership philosophies and a willingness to increase capacity and extend capabilities to be more flexible are the main differences. While this feels quite distinct from leadership, where leaders only practise agile out of compliance with a larger directive. Agile leadership is “excellent leadership” that improves; it is more than just “good leadership”.
· Agile leadership as a continuum: A mindset that is agile does not view things from a binary standpoint, such as agile or not. Agility should be viewed as a spectrum rather than as an all or nothing trait. Although the agile leader is one who adjusts, there are many of competent HR leaders in firms who do so infrequently. Although some HR managers use a command-and-control style of management, this does not necessarily mean they are ineffective managers. Unfortunately, due to their mindsets, many of these HR leaders find it more difficult than others to adjust. Agile leadership is a dynamic trait that evolves and gets better with time.
3rd Annual India’s most Agile HR Leaders 2023 Coffee Table Book Launch
In the current era, for many organizations, surviving and thriving depends quite much upon their HR Leaders, helping in evolving and making a fundamental transformation to become more agile. Those making the transition successfully, are achieving substantive performance and health improvements: enhanced growth, profitability, internal and external customer satisfaction, and employee engagement.
At Sapphire Connect, we have the confidence in that the key to success is to find it through a test and learn cycle and that HR leaders have the capacity to transfigure and help co-create the future of work by transforming and overcoming the challenges of a volatile, uncertain and complex business world.
Sapphire Connect is glad to announce the 3rd Edition of “India’s Most Agile HR Leaders 2023” Coffee Table Book where we would be featuring the HR leaders who have experimented, tested and learned on how to reinvent their people operations to be more human-centric and deliver business value, no matter what industry or type of organization they have worked in.
The Process:
Sapphire Connect has partnered with EY as the Knowledge Partner for the panel of Jury and would choose the India’s Most Agile HR Leaders for the 2023 Coffee Book Edition, professionals.

Corporate Citizen Conclave and Award 2023
2023-08-03 09:00 - 18:00
However, over the past few years, from consumers, rising expectations to declining confidence in the public sector to lack of leadership involvement on environmental and social issues have transformed Corporate Citizenship from a value add to a business imperative that, if ignored, can pose significant risks to a brand. As companies wake up to the opportunity to appeal to a growing customer base with new preferences around social impact there is a need to increase focus on reinvestment in corporate citizenship across industries. Thus, making it important to bring unanimous people together to understand why companies are currently embracing social influence, and what best practices will have the most significant impact on the company.Keeping this in mind, Sapphire Connect is pleased to present the First Edition of the “Corporate Citizen Conclave 2023” centered on the theme “Transforming Business for Good”.
