New India Managing Director Recommendation

Managing Director Recommendation
The person who will replace the departing managing director in India needs both technical competency as well as adequate people skills. The new director needs to be experienced in accounting, supply chain logistics, finance, labor relations, and leadership as well as verbal and nonverbal communication,conflict resolution, stress management, and efficient time management. Furthermore he or she has to be familiar with India’s unique business environment and its elaborate licenses, regulations, and bureaucracy.
As a team, we have chosen to nominate Ravi Desai for the new managing director of TCT’s India operation. We decided that he is the best candidate to replace the previous managing directorbecause of his past work experiences as well as his knowledge of Indian language, culture, business and politics. He has had a diverse work experience over the past ten years, performing well in all his positions, and is a native of India, implying a unique understanding of area and its needs. We believe that Ravi Desai is the best possible candidate for the position and under his leadership theIndia operation will continue to grow and expand. As will be discussed later on in the paper, we also believe that Ravi’s strengths coupled with Saumitra Chakraborty as the assistant to the managing director will create the best possible team to run the TCT India operation. Saumitra’s experience in with the TCT Indian operation and his personal connections with the government will help Ravi tosucceed in India’s unique business environment. Through a well-integrated team the company can exploit its multinational experiences to optimize operations in India.

Even though Ravi will be working in his home country, these international leadershipexperiences prove that Ravi is a competent and capable manager and indicate that he will be successful as the managing director in India. In his past positions, Ravi has had the opportunity to work with many expatriates and international employees within the company. This experience will be important since the on-site factory director in Bengaluru is a U.S. expatriate. As long as Ravi Desai hasworked with TCT, he has worked outside of India, but always maintained close communications with U.S. Headquarters. The new managing director position requires someone who will be able to work fluidly with headquarters in order to maximize efficiency.

As a team, we feel that Ravi is uniquely positioned to efficiently handle the difficult government and business environment in India. Ravi’s Indian nationality and citizenship is an important factorin our decision to choose him. His nationality and inherent understanding of culture and customs will help him to work with employees, local suppliers and the government. For instance, a local supplier will be more likely to cooperate and deal with a subsidiary that is managed by a native rather than a foreign leader. Ravi’s Indian origin will help him to capture the needs of locals and to betteradapt practices, being sensitive to the host environment without losing sight of the company’s interests and knowing what it needs for growth. Ravi’s presence in the Indian subsidiary will maintain a good and fruitful relationship and atmosphere with locals. By selecting Ravi for this position, TCT demonstrates that local citizens have opportunities to succeed in a top-management position in a...
