Born To Win Learning Services: Building a Generation of Winners

CIO Vendor Most of the organizations today spend a lion’s share of their time and effort to train and develop their employees to become better professionals and mighty leaders of tomorrow. Having worked in the advertising and marketing industry for over 20 years helping some of the most successful brands in the country, Ramkumar Seshu realized the corporate world is still evolving.

Addressing the gap in the mindset of employees and the results the organization desire is a huge challenge. He also realized all training programs offered in the market are pedagogue based learning. This does not work for adults. He therefore designed programs following the principles of Adult Learning—to get them to learn from within, learn in active, engaging environment and see the results for themselves. With this goal in mind, Ram, in 2003, founded Born To Win Learning Services to focus on Implementation.

“While working for the largest healthcare communications company in the country, I realized that corporate India is changing and the scale is becoming bigger in every aspect of life be it finance, production or marketing. I understand that there is a need of addressing mindset issues of human beings working in companies and converting human resources into human capital,” explains Ram.

“With a strong belief system that creates positive attitude and behavioral pattern in individuals, the training programs enable people to unleash their full potential and produce optimum results,” adds Ram. While most of the other players in the learning and development space forget to focus on a client’s strength and focus on their weakness, Born To Win takes up the business issue and address those issues with human resources by focusing on clients strengths.

“Our processes are extremely time tested, strong and delivered with a track record of terrific results. Intentions don’t deliver results; its processes that deliver results. We have strong processes in place which are very unique to us; they are our very own trademark products,” says Ram. Through structured experiential learning interventions and with a track record of successful results, the organization identifies and improves the right resources and capabilities of an individual.

By overcoming the market risk challenges, the company has delivered amazing results under Ram’s vision.Headquartered in Bangalore and with branches in Chennai and Delhi, the organization today helps participants to align individual and collective perspectives, which leads to enhanced and sustained organizational growth.
