AT Kearney office in Mumbai
By Our Corporate Bureau | 24 Nov 2003
"We have specific plans on this matter, which will be reviewed in the next few weeks. A final decision on whether to open the office in Mumbai or not is expected to be taken by February next year," says Heinz Ludwig Klein, CEO-elect, AT Kearney. Klein, who was elected as CEO of AT Kearney in October, is slated to assume office from 1 December.
He made it clear that AT Kearney will not go in for a large office network in India, given that the country is still a 'non-mature' market for consulting. "I do not see a large office network other than probably these two — the current one in New Delhi, and may be one in Mumbai," he said.
He said the decision to have an office in Mumbai will, to a large extent, depend on the support that the organisation could provide for such a plan. "If you want to be successful in a non-mature market, you need the support of the whole organisation. Otherwise, it will not be feasible to open a new office," Klein said.
