There is no denial that India is becoming a hotspot for any organization planning to expand their footprint owing to the booming market up for grabs. But to gain a share of this pie is no easy feat, as managing a diverse workforce such as in India to achieve their business goals requires an able middle management. One which understands the changing work dynamics and adapts their strategy to transform into results. The onset of the post liberalization India certainly paved way for the business and management skills to get their due importance, they were predominantly focused on local periphery of sales and operations with organizational culture and other factors taking a backseat. But three decades later, today India's managerial diaspora is making a pivotal transition into a powerhouse and is now competing at global stage, displaying their calibre through leadership and senior management roles. One such major instance is the study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on how Indian-origin CEOs are making their mark on the global stage, with 10% of the CEOs in the Fortune Global 500 companies being of Indian descent. This empirical evidence showcases the significant impact this new cohort of management have in shaping the global business landscape. This number is only bound to grow as the new age Indian manager is at the forefront of this change, adapting strategies to navigate these dynamics effectively. This paper analyses the ramifications of these shifts in management practices, exploring the changes in management approaches, strategies adopted by managers, and the subsequent impacts on organizations and employees.
