AMCHAM’s Tamil Nadu Chapter organized a breakfast meet (virtually) on August 13th. The event was centered on one of the most contemporary and relevant topics – getting back to work in the COVID era. The event was anchored by the team from EY’s People Consulting Practice, Ms. Nidhi Gupta, Director & Subject Matter Resource for the Core Sector and Ms. Priyanka Gupta, Director & Subject Matter Resource for Global Capability Centres. The team was also supported by Mr. Ashwin Ravindranath, Partner, Tax & Regulatory Services, Mr. Vijayshankar A., Director & Subject Matter Resource for Technology Sector and Ms. Jhanani SR, Consultant. The session was attended by about 36 members across sectors.

The EY team shared key trends, themes and considerations for organizations as they seek to settle into the new normal post the pandemic. They also shared examples from their experience on specific actions taken by organizations and what areas they are looking to strengthen in the NOW, NEXT and BEYOND scenario. They contextualized this for different industries through remote-ability personas. They then shared their BUILD-DIGITIZE-ENGAGE framework through which organizations can comprehensively prepare themselves.

The team also detailed out each of the elements of the framework answering key questions in the end regarding DOT, GST and regulatory considerations post Dec 2020. Overall, the session was well received and AMCHAM thanked the speakers for their time and valuable insights.
