Demystifying OKRs

August 2025 | Bombay Chambers of Commerce, Mumbai

The inaugural edition of Mayin Connects began with a simple but widespread observation:

many organisations adopt OKRs with the right intent—but misunderstand their purpose, often treating them as appraisal tools rather than mechanisms for strategy execution.

This conversation focused on bringing clarity to the fundamentals:

• What OKRs are—and just as importantly, what they are not

• How to define OKRs that drive focus rather than compliance

• How OKRs enable alignment, prioritisation, and meaningful change

• Why OKR implementations fail despite strong intent

We are grateful to Madhusudan Nayak, Founder of Worxmate, for sharing practical insights drawn from real implementation journeys—highlighting both successes and common pitfalls.

The openness, warmth, and depth of the dialogue reinforced why creating thoughtful spaces for learning and reflection matters—especially for organisations navigating growth and change.
