Raghu Kalé

Raghu Kalé is an accomplished communications professional who has positively impacted business outcomes by supporting corporate and operational strategy and leading innovative initiatives. He has worked with corporate board members and business leaders, helping alter the conversations for leadership with his creative and divergent thinking. His systems thinking approach in leading communication has helped reconfigure efficiency and productivity by developing a trans-disciplinary understanding of the realities of running and changing a business and making sustainable impacts to deliver performance — while being mindful of the scalability for developing future organizational capabilities.

In his experience, spanning over three decades, he has worked in technology companies, corporate services, consulting, hospitality, and advertising. His divergent thinking brings out stunning and striking ideas rooted in experiences that find an expression in myriad, result-oriented business initiatives — in thought-provoking articles, original concepts, creative films, and books. His book Loyalty and Sacrifice: Ushering New Horizons for Business Leaders was endorsed with a Preface by the Lateral Thinking Guru Dr. Edward de Bono and a Foreword written by Global leader Ratan N. Tata emphasizing that in the new age of AI and hyper-personalized experiences, the old definition of customer loyalty was inadequate. Raghu's book provoked a departure from the industry norm adhered to for the past 200 years and redefined the term 'Loyalty.' The book outlines that Loyalty and Sacrifice are inseparable. In the case of war, heroes, and employees, sacrifice is well recognized and celebrated. In the case of customers, the question is: are customers capable of sacrifice?

His ability to connect with people at the human level helps him draw out their deepest insights and opinions — a trait that is an asset in building compelling stories in the form of short documentary films and in helping authors share their narratives in bespoke publishing space that he leads as the FOUNDER and CEO of STRIKING IDEAS LLC that is engaged in introducing new vantage points by supporting corporate leaders with unique capabilities to achieve progress for business enterprises worldwide in consulting, publishing, and creative renditions to support the C-Suite.

Formerly, Raghu was Vice President of the Office of the Brand Custodian, Tata Sons, supported brand and marketing thought leadership initiatives, and worked across many positions within the Tata conglomerate spanning 100 countries with over 100 companies within its fold with over half a million employees. Insightful lessons and learning accrued in laying the foundations with members of the board and operating leaders and CEOs while participating in Tata Group transformation. He is the CEO of STRIKING IDEAS LLC and is working on his next book, The Latency Factor.
