New Delhi, Delhi, India – Business Wire India

Philip Morris International Inc.’s (PMI) India affiliate, IPM India, is enhancing its commitment to talent development through the expansion of its flagship initiative, Grow Talent Grow Business (GTGB). This initiative is founded on two key components: the Career Ownership Growth Model and WeAce, a digital coaching platform designed to provide personalized development support.

The Career Ownership Growth Model enables employees to reflect on their aspirations, strengths, and development needs. It promotes agility, encourages feedback, and helps individuals remain relevant in a rapidly changing business environment. This model serves as a transformative tool, fostering a mindset shift that empowers employees to confidently lead their own development journeys.

WeAce complements this initiative by democratizing access to development through one-on-one and group coaching at scale. With flexible formats and open access, the platform allows employees to assume the role of a coach for others based on their readiness and aspirations, fostering a culture of meaningful peer-to-peer development. With a participation rate of 53% across India and other growth markets, WeAce is cultivating shared learning in both technical and leadership areas, including Best-in-Class Merchandising, Commercial Acumen, Leading in Ambiguity, and Service Leadership.

Navaneel Kar, Managing Director of IPM India, stated, “With global shifts reshaping industries, continuous learning is not just an investment in individuals; it also drives business acceleration. Through GTGB, we are empowering our people to take ownership of their growth and contribute at their highest potential while driving meaningful impact for the business.”

Kingshuk Das, Director of People & Culture at IPM India, emphasized, “At PMI, we believe that development must be inclusive and driven by the impact it creates for individuals, teams, and the organization. GTGB is unlocking the full potential of our workforce, making coaching accessible, valuing feedback, and establishing career ownership as a shared responsibility. In India, this approach not only helps individuals reach their highest potential but also builds the leaders of the future.”

India continues to be a strategic growth market for PMI. By integrating inclusive leadership, cross-functional coaching, and career democratization into its talent strategy, IPM India is developing a resilient and agile workforce capable of thriving in a rapidly evolving landscape.
