Another India-born banker Vikram Pandit was asked to head $ 111-billionCitigroup at a time when it was deep in financial crisis and he has successfully handled a turnaround.
Jain and Pandit are joined by the likes of Indra Nooyi, LakshmiMittal, Ajay Banga, Sanjay Jha, Shantanu Narayen,Rakesh Kapoor, Harish Manwani and Ajit Jain among those holding top leadership positions at global MNCs.
The businesses headed by these ten persons recorded revenue worth $ 410 billion last year and are said to be on a robust growth path for the years to come.
This figure is nearly double the value of Indian exports worth about $ 245 billion last fiscal and approximately one- third of total size of the Indian economy.
According to global HR major Hay Group, the technical skills and the behavioural patterns of Indians make them adaptable to any kind of situation they come across.
"Indians have the ability to adapt to any situation they are faced with. They are also used to doing more with less (resources)... These factors make Indians successful," Hay Group's Director Arvind Pandit said.
Considering the regulatory environment and conditions here, "people who have done business successfully in India, can be successful anywhere in the world," he added.
Experts say that the need for tapping high-growth markets like India could have played a key role in the rise to the top for many of these people.
