Dear ex-colleague,
Thanks for your fair review and advice. I think some of the organizational points you make are true. They may also be part of our deliberate design - lack of hierarchy, trying to create new processes instead of following industry practices, deprecation of the importance of titles at a senior level, and so on.
I do think there is some merit in your comment that "senior leadership is driven solely by the CEO" but I would qualify it a little. First, I think it is true that I influence organizational design disproportionately. In fact, I see that as my main role in a fast-evolving company, rather than as a CEO in a classical sense. To balance that out, and on the other hand, I am hardly involved at all in how our global business units, sales geographies (which is a dozen countries), COEs etc. actually take major decisions from day to day. The GBU heads and the heads of the geos and the heads of our Shared Services are all very senior people who don't "report" to anyone in the conventional sense. They all do their own thing. At Nagarro, we believe the company merely provides a framework for talented, capable people to collaborate directly to achieve great results. We are continuously trying to improve this framework and design. It is not an easy effort and we always have a lot more to do in this direction.
Thanks again.
Best regards,
Manas
