In this episode of Lead, Learn, Connect, we go halfway around the world to speak with Dupinder Deep, Senior Manager of Leadership Development at Foundever, based in New Delhi, India. While the settings differ, the learning and development challenges she describes are strikingly similar across India and the U.S.
Drawing on more than 14 years in L&D and her work toward a PhD in Organizational Psychology, Dupinder challenges the idea that people are “unmotivated to learn.” Instead, she emphasizes that learners need to clearly see the value of the training - both for their current role and future success.
The conversation explores how to make learning last by connecting training to a clear vision and building a learning culture. We also discuss how engagement looks different for experienced leaders than for early-career employees, and why implementation, not content, is where training succeeds or fails.
Dupinder shares how mentoring, open communication, and a strong learning culture help sustain learning long after the classroom. The episode concludes with a practical discussion on generational learning differences and how technology has reshaped how people learn.
