Leadership in India Inc

Infosys has slipped from No.2 to No.3 in Indian IT sector, On a quick fix or what so ever, NRN is back as Executive Chaiman, has to cut short his retirement and resume to work.  In a way its good for Infosys, IT sector, NASCOM and India, but the underlying message is ...Indian companies are not grooming successor well in advance or we have scarcity of leaders...


It seem that we have only herds to lead and a very very few countable  leaders like
Mr Mukesh Ambani,  (Anil yet to prove)
 Mr  Kamath,
Mr Anand Mahindra,
Mr Kumar Mangalam,
Mr Parekh,
Mr Bajaj
Munjal's
Mr. Venu Srinivasan (TVS group)
Mr. Ratan Tata  (Cyrus...not clear about Tata Sons performance after transition)
and so on....

In Infosys case, unfortunately Nandan has to quit the board for UID sake.  then started the declining phase...even market responded positively on the first day after NRN is back.

We need to seriously think about this and start building leadership in next generation...In general India lagging behind west in leadership qualities...(I may be wrong)
