August 28, 2010
Innovation should be a source for creating consumer delight, said ITC chairman Y C Deveshwar, while addressing a gathering of 29,000 employees, at a special Centenary event of the firm in the city.
It may be noted that ITC completed 100 years on August 24. The occasion was marked by celebrations across all its offices and facilities in India.
"Value creation for the Indian society is best achieved by creating sustainable livelihoods and replenishing natural capital," he added. Emphasising on the need for competitive vitality, Deveshwar underscored the need to leverage knowledge resident across diverse businesses in its world class human resources to create "champion teams" that would continuously innovate to deliver competitively superior customer value.
The event also felicitated the winners of the 'Voice of ITC' contest - a one-of-itskind internal talent contest, that saw more than a 1,000 entries, out of which the final 15 were shortlisted to record the ITC Anthem.
