"My name is Harsh Khemka, and I currently lead business operations at Newton Weighing System Pvt. Ltd., a company specializing in Industrial Weighing and Automation Solutions. As a second-generation entrepreneur, I enrolled in the Family Business Management Programme at IIM Calcutta to gain structured insights into scaling a legacy business in todays dynamic landscape. I was particularly drawn to the course for its practical orientation, focus on succession planning, and its strong peer network. Since completing the course, Ive been able to drive significant improvements at Newton Weighingstreamlining internal processes, strengthened our internal cost controls, expanding our product verticals and strengthening our service model. The programme also helped me develop a sharper approach to decision-making and team leadership, which has had a measurable impact on business performance. One of the most valuable takeaways was the network of like-minded business owners I met through the programme. These relationships have led to inter-business collaborations, knowledge exchange, and a strong support system that continues well beyond the classroom. I highly recommend this course to any entrepreneur involved in a family-run business. Its not just about academic learningit's a transformative experience that empowers you to build a sustainable, future-ready enterprise."
