Safety is perhaps the most primal human need. For generations, one name in India has been the custodian of that trust: Godrej. But in an era where physical keys are swiftly being replaced by digital fingerprints and homes are becoming smarter than ever, how does a legacy giant pivot without losing its soul?
In this exclusive episode of Leaders in Focus, we sit down with Shyam Motwani, Business Head of the Locks & Architectural Solutions Business, a business unit of the Godrej Enterprises Group to decode this evolution.
Shyam takes us deep into the strategy of a massive transformation where heavy precision engineering meets high-end digital design. He unpacks the complex psychology of safety, explaining why the modern Indian consumer now demands safety solutions that are not just impenetrable fortresses but also stunning architectural statements.
However, this conversation extends far beyond the boardroom strategies of smart locks and hardware. We explore the calm persona behind the corporate title. Shyam opens up about his personal philosophy, revealing how the patience required in his culinary pursuits directly influences his decision-making. He draws compelling parallels between the alchemy of creating a perfect dish and the nuance of building a resilient brand, offering a rare glimpse into a leader who values mindfulness as much as market share.
This is a story about bridging eras. It is a masterclass for anyone trying to balance the weight of heritage with the speed of disruption. Shyam’s insights on managing a diverse workforce and redefining “trust” for a digital generation are invaluable.
