A US based MNC works with Outsourced CMO to launch their initiative in India




Wiley a US $ 2 billion publishing legend based in the US, has hired OCMO to market Wiley Nxt, a new age initiative that harnesses its massive knowledge creation and distribution strengths to upskill engineering grads for jobs in top IT companies.

This year of the more than 1.5 million young people who will graduate from engineering schools in India less than 1% will be hired by the Top-20 companies in India’s most sought-after IT industry. This is because most graduates are not job-ready when they leave their colleges. With its legendary strengths in knowledge creation and learning solutions, Wiley is unveiling a powerful job-readiness program in India in collaboration with industry and business leaders to addresses this widening skill gap, called WileyNxt.

For marketing this service in a highly competitive business landscape, the USD 2 billion transnational corporation has chosen Outsourced CMO because it wanted seasoned marketing experts for this initiative. Wiley approached OCMO in full knowledge that despite its well-known pedigree in the learning solutions space, its premier Nxt program would be tough to sell in a highly price-sensitive and largely disorganized marketplace spilling over with a gaggle of small players making similar offers at much lower price points.     

John Wiley & Sons, Inc, a New York based MNC sought out OCMO primarily because it wanted not only an experienced CMO but an agile, innovation-driven marketing team around him that could take off fast and work non-stop with a proven sense of ownership. Neither hiring its own full-time resource or leaning on an external agency would have worked and so for the two billion-dollar MNC, OCMO appeared to be not only the right but the obvious choice for marshalling resources and leading its complex marketing battle.

To all of us in OCMO, the trust reposed in our relatively new idea by a global giant is a matter of satisfaction and some pride. More importantly, it is a reason for us to work even harder to delight the companies we work with.

Why should Startups look at unsuccessful entrepreneurs as business mentors?

Entrepreneurs, particularly startup entrepreneurs are risk takers. We do not conform to the norms of safe play but are always on the lookout to push the boundary of trade and commerce to develop new opportunities and markets sometimes even where none exist.


We know that failure is the stepping stone to success and are not deterred by our own failures but press on towards our goal with single minded determination and take the help of people who have got the experience and calibre to help us.
So why is it that we do not even think of taking the help of people who have done it and seen it all but were unable to achieve their goal. Yes we are talking about unsuccessful entrepreneurs!
Anyone who embarks on the entrepreneurial journey dreams of his startup achieving great heights in the days to come but the unsavoury reality is that 90% of startups in India fail within the first 5 years.
They fail not because of want of dedication, effort or enthusiasm but despite that due to common mistakes …

Businesses have had to evolve strategies and embrace new technologies to keep pace with this rapid transformation be it the increasing use of AIand automation for a variety of purposes,the use of various software, 3 D printing, collaborative consumption etc.
What is the issue ?
But one issue that continues to remain steadfastly in the current fast moving digital era, is the issue of talent sharing across domains.
Even as the employment landscape and norms are changing with the emergence of the gig economy and businesses themselves are resorting to the contractual method of work on an increasing scale it is pertinent to ask how fair is it to restrict the natural flow of talent possessed by professionals and debar them from maximizing their …
