Firdose Vandrevala or FAV, 45 is Vice-President (Sales and Marketing) and a Tisco veteran. An IIT (Kharagpur) graduate, he rose through the ranks to become the youngest Vice-President in 1994. Articulate and sharp, FAV is perceived as a strategy-maker and less of a `shopfloor' man. Triddibesh Mukherjee or Doc T., 55, Vice-President (Operations), has been largely credited with Tata Steel's success in keeping production costs low. A leading metallurgist, he did his doctorate from Sheffield, UK, from where Dr Irani too earned his PhD. A close associate of Irani, he is known for his cool temper and genial personality. B. Muthuraman, 55, Vice-President (Cold Rolling Mill), is the key man, as the success or failure of CRM could determine Tata Steel's future. An unassuming person, Mutharaman is a brilliant strategist and one of Irani's trusted lieutenants. |
