Sathguru to Deliver Seed Industry Program, 2013


Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, Tuesday, July 23, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Indian seed sector has metamorphosed into a significant sub-industry in the agricultural sector. Evolution within the industry during the last few decades has not only witnessed the entry of several private sector players, it has also led to the intensification of international competition, shorter product life cycles for new varieties, increased R&D costs, etc. The current market scenario in the seed industry sector has witnessed many dynamic changes in terms of improved technologies and new markets. Though currently a multibillion-dollar industry, the seed companies are a witness to a volatile market, heavily dependent on policy-level decisions, technology use and strategic changes.

To ensure great returns, good market share, improved technology use, informed policy decisions, managers, senior managers and directors of seed companies need to keep abreast of market dynamics and demonstrate market cycle awareness to be able to operate effectively and regulate trends within specific market, region, and forecast client demands.

The Seed Industry Program 2013 is a comprehensive endeavor to provide the necessary insight to the seed industries so that they may hold their own in the global milieu by offering customers with innovative products and services. Delivered jointly by Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Sathguru Management Consultant's Center for Executive Education (CEE), the program will augment the participants' ability to better understand and contribute to the growth of the seed industry in south-east Asia and across the world. The modules taught during the program will help participants evolve strategies to deploy cutting-edge technology to enhance agricultural productivity.

The course is segregated over the four-day duration and provides an exhaustive overview of various key areas such as markets and marketing, regulations, research & technology management and trends & strategies, growth strategy and strategic positioning in emerging regions, technology advancements in seed trait development, technology licensing, business valuation models, leveraging Information technology solutions for competitive advantage and public-private partnership models in seed development and delivery. The program will provide senior managers from the seed industry and research organizations, academia from agricultural universities and regulators in the federal and state governments responsible for regulating the seed sector to enhance their knowledge about the dynamics of the seed industry.

"There is an urgent need to provide the right learning to the seed industry professionals to help them evolve into global businesses. While it is essential to sow seeds to mitigate world hunger, it is equally essential to remain competitive in the market to ensure growth of the organization. The program will not only help participants learn how to take the right decisions on economic issues, customer needs, advanced technologies, environmental concerns and key strategies to drive innovation, and take control of the growth curve, it will also educate leaders on how to make a visible difference in the seed market. You will be a step ahead in being recognized as a world leader." said Mr. K Vijayaraghavan, CEO, Sathguru Management Consultants and Regional Coordinator of College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell University.

The program will be held at the Taj Deccan, Hyderabad from 7 to 10 October, 2013, and will feature renowned academics, scientists, policy makers and industry leaders who will provide participants with an ideal blend of real world experience with effective insights on the changing norms in trends and strategies along with a case study on GE crop development, technology transfer and delivery that would make learning a dynamic process.
