He also emphasised about the importance of pricing decisions and how your pricing strategy is very important for the success of your product. “If a customer wants your product, you won’t lose him because of the price,” said Mr. Sathyan during the session.

He ended the session on a positive note by asking the students to never compromise on their ethics and principles for long term success.

 “It was a very insightful and interactive session and Mr. Vaidyanathan gave us a good snapshot of the B2B space in Philips. I was able to derive two key lessons that I would like to implement in my corporate career: 1) One cannot copy customer experience, make it as a POD for business; 2) if trust and performance are differentiators, protect them by all means.” - Meghnad Pathak, Student, MGB Sept 17 Intake
