Sachin Gupta, Sr. Vice President & CIO - Havells India Ltd.

Redefined CIO role
The role of a CIO is changing from IT to a business enabler, where a CIO more actively sits on the table and works to solve business opportunities, and help enable business to grow.
A CIO of today is becoming true business enablers where they’re sitting with business stakeholders discussing business and not IT. Gone are those days when CIOs used to drive technology. Today’s CIOs sit in the front with the leadership and talk about business and the opportunity areas to see how business can be enabled and the possible solutions. The CIOs are also taking on roles and responsibilities of HR, R&D and also helping in product development. So CIOs are getting involved in this business and help companies grow or find solutions to the problems.
Innovations & ROI
In our case, anything that we do in IT should only do two things, either help increase revenue, or help reduce cost. So in essence, anything that we do results in ROI, then we deliver the project and then measure on the ROI which holds true value for any project, whether it’s innovation or digitization or simplification or anything across the world.
Key Priorities
The priorities change from year to year, depending on the business and what other opportunities that exists. We are always looking at the growth and the priority is how we can help Havells continue to be where they want to be. We only have one priority this year, which would be just to help achieve business aspirations and goals, whether they’re short term or long term.
“Havells truly believe that to grow, technology is the way and it has been articulated very clearly by senior management. It is our role in IT, to build a solution and applications, which not only addresses pain points of the employees or our partners but also to make sure that the solutions that we build are easy to use and are all filling in the void. It is always our endeavour to create something that provides value.”
