Competency Head - Siebel CRM
Sierra Atlantic Inc.

Dinesh Chanrasekhar K an alumnus of IBS Chennai, Class of 2001, is currently working as Competency Head – Siebel CRM at Sierra Atlantic, Hyderabad. Let’s take a quick peek into his life, experiences and views.
You and your family

Born and Brought up in Chennai, passionate about Management education and whatsoever I have next to my name is the list of Management degrees and diplomas. Known for my die-hard attitude among my colleagues and continue to live my dreams to reality. My wife Geetha perfects my Passions and the new comer Vijay Kaushik (my son) reminds me that I have to be caretaker for a new dreamer. I live in Hyderabad for last 3 years, working for Sierra Atlantic Inc and travel frequently on business trips to different part of the world.

Career after passing from IBS

I started my career as a software engineer and then moved on to different roles in the last 7 years. At present I am the Practice Head –Siebel CRM at Sierra Atlantic Inc. Every step towards a new role had challenges but there was paradigm shift in my attitude (to be more positive) and growth followed.

IBS: More than just learning

Life teaches you a lesson everyday and what’s more important for you is to pay attention. During my MBA days more than learning, I had the scope to visualize and set the vision. The practical learning from Industry specialist through guest lectures and Internship helped me to set the stage to fulfill my career ambitions. One thing that never changed is the learning; still I step into my office as a fresher and lot more to learn everyday

Relax in Pressure……

Relax during the time when you are in pressure. Its simple you have to take medicine when you are not well. Over the years I learnt a way to do this. Best ones are the motivational quotes and soothing music, it reinforces the thought that nothing could stop unless you want to.

Vision………

My vision is to head a Fortune 50 Company and my passion is to Identify and groom young achievers. I love teaching but not confined to classroom alone.

Changes you would like to bring in the present Indian software Industry.

The focus today is on project execution and scope for Individual empowerment is minimal. Leadership Training and Motivation to Software Professionals is the key to achieve this empowerment. I am passionate about this subject and will contribute my best.

Set aside time………….

Its simple, I will set aside time for myself and for others. As you move even a minute of yours makes a day for another person. Some days you have more time and some days less but at the end of the day its worthwhile investment.

IT Revolution

Nope. Change is for good and there is no growth without change. I see there would be lot of IT revolution in the Healthcare and Financial sector. New Business Intelligence tools and packaged application would reduce the software development lifecycle. The entire IT world will look upon consulting as the way of life.

“To improve is to change, to be perfect is to Change often “.……

This quote of Churchill is the Success mantra. There is lot of opportunities but only very few are prepared, what it needs is the commitment to excel irrespective of your limitations.
