The end of a year is always time for reflection. 2022 has been a year of big flip-flops for both enterprises and employees. Many companies entered this year with the optimism of last year.

In this episode, Kamal Karanth, host of the people@work podcast series, discusses the year that it was with Madhumita Basu, a C-suite member with a cement major.
