Small Steps To Big Success

AFTER SERVING FOR MORE THAN A decade at Honeywell’s Middle East operations, R. Ravichandran came back to India to take up the role of CFO at Honeywell Automation India (HAIL) in 2016. Over the couple of years, HAIL has managed to achieve double digit growth in its topline and bottom line along with a solid cashflow performance. This was further bolstered by a robust internal control and a governance mechanism in place.
