TATA GROUP

Analysts might be doubting his aspirations, but this Tata’s Safari doesn’t seems to be stopping

The Group has been on a maddening acquisition spree in the past one year. Right from Corus to Indonesian coal mines to hotels in the US to Glaceau et al, Tata Group has left no stone unturned in its quest to go global. However, it is this acquisition spree that has created doubts in minds of industry watchers regarding long term sustainability of the Group. Consequently, this year Tata Group has observed a fall of two rankings in the 4Ps B&M 100 Most Valuable Brand list. However, with base of 96 companies operating in seven different sectors ranging from as basic as consumer products to super hitech sectors like IT, engineering and so on, Tata Group is definitely not losing grounds, as f now.

The Group employs more than 240,000 employees, has 28 publicly listed companies and its operations extends to six continents in over 120 countries. Whether it is the IT giant TCS or it is the automobile major Tata Motors, the way these companies are growing, the Tata brand seems to be unstoppable!

Jump into the ireena!

Ireena VITTAL... extremely high on retail and consumerism. And this brainy lass loves complications.

Complicating the simplicity of business is the hallmark of Ireena Vittal. For over a decade now, she has been with the world’s best known consulting firm McKinsey & Company as Partner. She has been eminently successful with her complicated yet simple (enriched with facts, figures and logic) advice to clients in retail, consumer goods, and the energy sector, et al.

Her philosophy of life is very simple. As a person she emphasizes more on the present and feels proud to be a part of present day India, an India which is poised to take off. According to Vittal, the more the competition the more the noise and better the results; perhaps that’s why she continues to encourage her clients to welcome all competition. Her colleagues at McKinsey told us that “Ireena infuses competition amongst the team members and that is the key to our success.”

And in an age when every business is looking at ways to conquer the Indian consumer, she has worked on bringing out exemplary McKinsey reports on the growth of Indian consumerism and suggested ways for MNCs for “Winning the Indian Consumer.”

Speaking about her passion, Rahul Goenka of KPMG Bangalore (formerly McKinsey) told 4Ps B&M that Ireena is a fun loving woman “who knows how to successfully balance the professional and the personal halves of life… her ability to make complex matters simple and vice-versa is simply unique!” Here’s a toast to the McKinsey woman!
