Helping shape a successful story of Tech Transformation

SILKY SINHA, HEAD OF PRODUCT MARKETING & BUSINESS, NEC CORPORATION INDIA

“Over the years, I have had the privilege of being part of prestigious talent transformation initiatives like LEAP and EMPOWER, which have played a pivotal role in shaping my leadership journey. At NEC India, this work sits at the intersection of operational discipline and purposeful storytelling. Our #WeThinkEqual (DEI) initiative, driven by the marketing team, goes beyond just raising awareness.

It’s also crucial to point out that the marketing function at NEC India is predominantly led by women, with 80-90% of the team comprising female talent. This is a testament to how we are committed to supporting women across various roles and especially in leadership positions. We don’t just prepare women for leadership roles; we make sure they are supported through sponsorship and coaching.

WHEN VISION MEETS INNOVATION

My journey into product and technology marketing leadership in tech feels like a natural path, one that’s been shaped by the rapid changes around me and my own desire to make a real impact. When I first entered the tech space over 12 years ago, India was on the verge of something. I found myself fascinated by how technology touches human life every second, makes their lives easier, and opens up new opportunities. I realized that product marketing wasn’t just about promoting features, it was about communicating to the people the power of seemingly complex technologies in enhancing their mundane day to day problems, thereby improving the quality of their lived experiences.

Over the course of my career, I have observed several tech companies doing more than merely changing industries, they have shaped our present, and continue to shape our collective futures. NEC Corporation India ranks among these change makers. I have had the opportunity here to lead teams that aren’t just focused on business success, but also on something bigger: using technology to empower people.”
