Staff make it and CEOs take it
If we doubt and permit for the view that he’s recognized for these sorts of ‘detours’ and didn’t actually imply it, the bigger difficulty that involves mild is what CEOs in India can get away with.
The circumstances that seize consideration from time to time provide however a tiny peek into what’s flawed with India Inc. Is SNS’s imaginative and prescient the best way “India’s Yuva Shakti will make India a developed nation”, to cite from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on the ‘Viksit Bharat Younger Leaders Dialogue 2025’ on Nationwide Youth Day (12 January)?
The CEOs of the day might want their political leaders to suppose they’re singing the identical tune, however the youth of the day, which incorporates GenZ workers, don’t care to hide their disdain for the likes of Murthy and SNS.
Who will measure and issue on this rising variable of rightful worker wrath? Who will hear and take them critically sufficient to make a distinction to India’s work-life steadiness (or the dearth of it)? Not simply SNS, all such company heads ought to be held accountable and, when required, restrained by robust regulatory measures.
Take into account that SNS was paid a complete remuneration of Rs 51.05 crore for FY 2023–24, which is 534.57 instances the median remuneration at L&T. It represents a rise of 43.11 per cent over what was paid to him the earlier 12 months. He had the very best take-home within the firm, some 40 per cent greater than the second-highest paid worker — president & CFO R. Shankar Raman. How are L&T’s workers, paid a pittance as compared, anticipated to react to their head honcho’s feedback?
