Dr Swati A. Piramal, Director, Strategic Alliances and Communications, Nicholas Piramal India

The next generation manager is a global citizen. We expect them to be able to work anywhere. As India globalises, we expect them to go to the UK or Italy, wherever they are required. They live in a borderless world. It is a new thing for us, we could learn from them!

The young manager has good ideals, indeed they are idealistic and I'm happy about that. They fight for what they think is right. They are not ready to take cynicism and do not have the "chalta hai" attitude. We were not ready to pack our bags and move, but the young manager is ready to pack up and go anywhere, whether it is to China or Vietnam! They are not overawed by anything. The average age at Nicholas Piramal is about 30 years. My advice to young managers is that they should keep innovating in whatever they do, whether it is a business model or a product. And they should not be afraid to fail.
