Upgrade skills to stay in business: Satish Lakkaraju

Commenting on the balance between people and job reduction due to technology, Satish Lakkaraju, Chief Commercial Officer, Agility Global Integrated Logistics emphasis, “There are two aspects to it; with technology coming in, scale goes up. It means there is a fear that if technology comes in then we will be losing jobs, but scale matters in every organisation to continue having people. However, if people don’t upgrade their scale or their skills they will be out of business equally; one can have empathy towards people but at the same length and breadth if we keep telling them to upgrade their skills and they don’t listen to it then ultimately they will be out of jobs not only with the current organisation but wherever they go, they will not be able to cope up with the demand that is required.”
