He is second only to Nerurkar in the company. Moreover, his years of experience in different divisions make him a very likely choice
When in doubt, the best person to trust for a key position in your organisation is one who has been closely associated with you for years. And with tremendous speculation and uncertainty doing the rounds regarding the potential successor of B. Muthuraman, MD, Tata Steel, an insider would definitely be a good contender for the profile. H. M. Nerurkar, the current Chief Operating Officer (COO), with his nearly 40 years (joined Tata Steel in 1971, now that’s long!) of experience with Tata Steel, does seem to fit the bill.
Nerurkar, has risen through the ranks ever since and has held a plethora of portfolios. He has worked as Chief Metallurgist, Senior DM (LD-2 Projects), DGM (Steel & Primary Mills), General Manager (Marketing), Senior GM (Supply Chain), Vice President (Flat Products), Vice President (Kalinganagar Project, Orissa & Technology), and Chief Operating Officer (Steel), before reaching his current position of Chief Operating Officer of Tata Steel.“Succession planning in Tata Steel is a continuous and a well defined process and is done meticulously for every level of executives as a part of talent review exercise every year,” explains Binay Kumar Singh, Vice President – Orissa Project, Tata Steel Limited to B&E. Adding to his advantage is the fact that Nerurkar has also officiated in various overseas ventures like Tata Steel Public Company Limited, Thailand (Vice-Chairman), and ISL Dubai (Director), NatSteel Asia Private Limited., Singapore, Tata BlueScope Steel Limited et al. His phenomenal rise from strength to strength is testimony to his ability to perform varied roles successfully. Moreover, his all-around experience in project execution, manufacturing, Quality Control, Supply Chain and Marketing in the steel industry would be a great asset.
