Introduction to Risk and Risk Management Services
First of all, what is Risk? Risk is an uncertainty that may adversely affect the functioning of an organization or hamper the achievement of objectives. The risk is classified further into different streams that vary with the industry. The most common example is Financial Risk, or say Political Risk, Operational Risk, or Technology Risk.
The risk may be seen as an unwanted but integral part of any business.
While you exist in an environment that is ever-changing and dynamic, you are bound to face uncertainties at some point. Let’s understand with an example, moving from traditional Petrol/ Diesel Vehicles to Electric Vehicles could come as a jolt to the industry even putting competitors out of the market unless they adapt to the ever-changing business dynamics.
Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, has been quoted as saying “Change is the only constant in life.” The same applies to business philosophy. To grow, you must anticipate and adapt.
To successfully cope with the risks that exist in such a dynamic environment like India’s, we need Risk Management.
