Jayalakshmi Nagarajan COO At AAKIT On Reimagining ERP With Design Thinking
Share
Overview
Jaya has led the charge in modernizing core systems for companies across manufacturing, mill production, real estate, and wholesale sectors. Aakit’s ability to navigate ERP complexity isn’t rooted in code — it’s rooted in people, processes, and precision.
At the heart of their approach is Design Thinking — not as a buzzword, but as a tool for uncovering what really matters to users. Jaya explains how Aakit flips the traditional ERP script: instead of just mapping old processes to new systems, they engage cross-functional teams early, prototype ideas fast, and test with users often. The result? ERP systems that are more intuitive, more efficient, and far more aligned to business goals.
