FMCG Majors and Indians

I was reading a newspaper article in TOI on how Asian Executives are increasingly in demand in corporate world worldwide . The article was written against the backdrop of the news that Harish Manwani is set to become first COO of Unilever, which is seen as an acknowledgement of the growing importance of Indian/Emerging markets. The recognition for the Indian talent has always there, historically many multinationals have looked at their Indian operations as a hunting ground for fresh talent.....

Harish Manwani is actually an addition to the list, other are PepsiCo chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi and Rakesh Kapoor the global CEO of Reckitt Benckiser. I have looked at only FMCG sector there are more people in other sectors also, and this probably is just the start...

  1. I suppose 5-6 years down the line considering the immense growth opportunity in Power sector the corresponding CEOs are going to set up benchmarks just as the current scenario of FMCG.

  2. Sir, you might want to take a look at this article on TIME: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2084441-1,00.html .
    It also mentions the Shakti Project by HUL.

  3. Hi! I have read a number of posts by you on marketing and branding. I too write about rural marketing. I believe that audio medium has a better impact on audiences in rural medium especially due to high level of media darkness. Would like to hear your views as well on the same. Looking forward to hearing more from you at www.vrittivaani.wordpress.com
