ITC Avatar is the flagship invite-only leadership event of Backwaters with the objective of unearthing that one Avatar best equipped to be the next CEO.
An Avatar is well equipped to overcome challenges of the corporate world, manage limited resources in the best way, come out of critical situations with strategic solutions combined with a never-ending pursuit for profitability, operational excellence and sustainability. The hunt is for the leader who can innovate, empower his team and subordinates, ward off threats from the competition and someone who has the vision, enthusiasm and a 30,000 feet-high bird’s eye view for the potential problems the business can face.Avatar is the perfect stage for the leaders of the future and aims to separate the real leader who stands tall among the very best!!!
