Know why Future Group CEO Kishore Biyani likes the idea of 'reborn'

CEO of retail heavyweight Future Group, Kishore Biyani believes that what has been created has to be destroyed to make space for the new. He is hosting a grand conference around the theme ‘Reborn’ on Friday. It will be attended by over 500 of the who’s who of Corporate India, according to an Economic Times report.

Along with Biyani, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, Dr Ram Charan and Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal will address the gathering.

Biyani told ET Panache that Reborn was an idea that came out from discussions with his daughter Ashni over the need to serve the new generation of customers — the connected customer.

Moreover, CEOs of banks, fast moving consumer goods, fashion and retail companies, advertising firms and investment bankers including Shikha Sharma, Anil Agarwal, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Love Goel (chairman of global investment firm GVP Capital) are likely to attend the conference.

Dr Charan is a mentor to the Future Group CEO, while the Sadhguru's corporate leadership lessons and spiritual learnings are something that Biyani follows.

Reborn essentially is about the need for an organisation to reinvent. "Without de-stroying, you cannot create anything new. It's a destruction of ideas to make it relevant," says Biyani.

Future Group is an Indian private conglomerate, headquartered in Mumbai. The company is known for having a significant prominence in retail and fashion sectors, with popular supermarket chains like Big Bazaar and Food Bazaar, lifestyle stores like Brand Factory and Central.
