EDITOR’S LETTER
Welcome to the July edition of Illuminar, This edition’s cover story, “The Automation Flywheel: How Continuous Investment Drives Enterprise Resilience,” explores why automation must be treated as a long-term capability rather than a one-off project. As enterprises begin to scale their automation programs, they gain strategic momentum that compounds over time—unlocking productivity, agility, and long-term value. The article outlines how organizations can keep the automation flywheel in motion through structured governance, continuous investment, and alignment with broader business goals.
This issue also features a powerful interview from the archives with Mr. Srikanth Appana, CTO at Bajaj Auto Consumer Finance Ltd., who shares practical and candid insights on the challenges of digital transformation—and the mindset shifts, and strategic actions needed to overcome them. From cultural resistance and fragmented structures to ROI concerns and cybersecurity threats, Mr. Appana outlines clear pathways to enable sustainable digital change.
As always, thank you for your continued support. Your feedback and contributions keep this platform vibrant and deeply relevant. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Wishing you and your families good health, happiness, and success.
