PEOPLE'S MANAGER C. Jayakumar, Group Chief Human Resources Officer, L&T
L&T IS AN abbreviation for Larsen & Toubro. But for Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) C. Jayakumar, 58, L&T is all about “learning & training,” as the diversified Indian conglomerate, with interests in defence, technology, construction, power, heavy engineering, finance and railways, among others, provides its employees with opportunities to develop skills across segments and climb the corporate ladder. “Employees at L&T get purpose and pride while working for the company because we make things that make India proud. We are the builders of the nation. We do landmark projects,” says Jayakumar, while highlighting L&T projects like the Statue of Unity, Atal Setu, and the Narendra Modi Stadium. “L&T is also called a ‘Learning & Training’ organisation, as our people get challenging assignments because it is not just one company. There are different businesses and projects within the company and also within India and overseas,” he adds.
The company operates 18-19 training institutes across the country, including the Leadership Development Academy at Lonavala, which has tie-ups with many marquee institutions including Harvard, INSEAD, and Ross School of Business. The company, in partnership with institutions like the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), McKinsey, Ross, and INSEAD, also runs a seven-step leadership development programme to develop future leaders.
