In every corporate complacency seeps in after a certain period of time. But what can one do to avoid the same? Either one can replicate the way start-ups work and their culture or make them a part of ones campus. The latter seems like a better option. The German enterprise software giant SAP did just that. Heres how.
Dilip Khandelwal has worked across SAP’s technology and business portfolios namely product development, quality, partner qualification, consulting, support, localization and now more prominently cloud delivery. Khandelwal has also led SAP to the number one slot in the great places to work. His aim has been to revamp the culture with innovation that too with start-ups. Khandelwal comes from a business family background and says he is the only one in his family who’s working for others. One can sense his love for start-ups in his long working hours and his passion for learning. His day starts early at 8 in the morning and ends at 10 in the night. Khandelwal has spent more than 16 years with the tech giant. He holds dual responsibility at SAP. In his role as the President of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC), he is responsible for SAP’s HEC Business globally. Additionally, he heads the cloud delivery, globalization services and the support functions. The 40-year-old is also the managing director for SAP Labs in India where he is responsible for SAP’s development facilities in Bangalore, Pune and Gurgaon.
