On
Saturday, the 19th of November, 2016, the Eleventh batch of MPOWER -the Management Development Program for the next-gen Youth Transport
Entrepreneurs - was launched at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad
(IIMA).
MPOWERXI concluded on 26th November, 2016. This batch had 13 participants.
While we received 32 confirmed nominations, the final attendance dropped to 13
delegates due to the impact of Demonetisation on the transport business, with
19 candidates withdrawing to deal with the consequences of Demonetisation on
their business. But even with 13 delegates, the enthusiasm and participation
level was immense and the profile of delegates was fabulous and unique. This
was the first batch where we had a differently abled
participant, Mr. Chetan Lodaya from Chetan Road Carrier.
The
guiding philosophy of the program is empowering the next generation of India’s
transporters/fleet owners to “Take forward their family business with their
OWN vision”, as propounded by Mr. Anand Mahindra while launching the
program on the side lines of the Mahindra Transport Excellence Awards
ceremony on 9th Jan ’13. Speaking on the same occasion to the media,
Mr. Nalin Mehta –CEO - MTBD had also stressed that MTBD wants to “walk
the talk” that we initiated when we urged the next generation of transporters
to join their ‘Papa ka Business’ in our TV-led mass media campaign more than a
year ago. MPOWER program is growing from strength to strength as our signature
initiative in the Indian Transport industry. In terms of numbers, with this
batch we have involved 291 next-gen transporters who together own
over 59,300 trucks (and utilise at least 50% of this number in addition
from the market), with a combined turnover of Rs. 24,900 Crores
employing over 66,500 people.
For
MPOWER XI, 13 young transport entrepreneurs, chosen by invitation and belonging
to some of the finest transport companies of India, checked-in for the 8 days’
course which is aimed at professionalising the Indian transport sector in the
long run. A course that has been specifically designed keeping the transport
sector issues in focus. Eight highly accomplished faculty members of IIMA are
running the course that covers subjects like PROFESSIONALISM, BUSINESS
PLANNING, MARKET & SEGMENTS, HR PRACTICES, SERVICE QUALITY, FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT & ACCOUNTING, SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT, LEGAL AND REGULATORY,
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INDUSTRY FOCUSSED SESSIONS.
Snapshot
of the MPOWER XI: 13 Participants; Average age- 28 years;
From 12 Cities, 13 Load Segments/Applications (Dry Bulk, Parcel, FTL, LTL,
Liquid Bulk, EXIM Containers, FMCG, Consumer Durables, Electronics, ODC &

Sugarcane Transportation, Cold Chain Logistic, Warehousing); Cumulative

The
past 10 batches of MPOWER were a huge success not only in terms of an emotional
connect with the next-gen transporters but also in terms of bringing our
business and offerings in their focus and also helping start a business relation
with many of the people who attended. This successful engagement has motivated
MTBD to reinvest in driving a positive change in the transport ecosystem while
nurturing our business interest. We are confident that this program too will be
a grand success and strengthen our brand even further, along with other
initiatives like the Mahindra Transport Excellence Awards. All these initiatives
will help MTBD connect with various constituents of the Indian transport
ecosystem at both rational and emotional levels, which can be leveraged to
build a strong market presence for Mahindra Trucks and Buses Division.
Final
Day – 26th November, 2016
The proceedings began
with two groups of 6 & 7 participants respectively, each presenting their
Integrated Case Study. Each Group had only 15 minutes to present their case.

After their presentation of challenges on the transport
industry, the professor had requested their views on demonetization.
There were mixed views, they all supported demonetization as most of them were
already moving towards cashless transactions. The only problem they raised was
the payment for drivers, dhabas, mechanics and other stakeholders which are at
the bottom of the transport eco-system. As cashless facilities have still not
been practiced amongst them. This was also an opportunity for few transporters
who still have not yet explored the cashless transaction process in their firm
and interacting with other batch mates have surely given them ideas on how to
get this initiated for their business.
The
Group also presented a case study on RIVIGO
Highlights:
Rivigo was about to become the second largest fleet owner in the trucking
business in India, in just over two years, with their innovative solutions they
could cut down the long haul delivery times by about 50%. Rivigo achieved this
by using a relay system in which the drivers changed every 5-6 hours at a ‘pit
stop’, thus keeping the vehicle on the move even as drivers signed off to take
rest. With
this innovation in transportation, Rivigo addressed poor service levels, poor
transit time, unreliability, uncertainty of return loads, shortage of drivers and
lack of information to the customers on their consignment. This increased their
customer base with 20-25% premium on freight.
Mr.
Kapish Saraf – Business head – VYOM, was there as a special guest to analysis
the case studies presented by MPOWER XI participants.

Post all the group
presentations, Prof. Debjit and Prof. Raghuram shared their view on each
group’s topic and presentations.
The
much awaited Valedictory Started giving MPOWER certificates to all the 13
participants.
With 291 MPOWERians
already having gone through this customized program from IIMA, we can
confidently say that MTBD has made a significant progress in driving a positive
change in the transport ecosystem. As a collateral advantage, our brand is in
strong focus with these important customers and key opinion leaders of trucking
business. We would urge the field team to take maximum advantage of this important,
pioneering and unique engagement tool of MTBD
