The Hindu Business Line : `Cos must focus on HR training'

MR Arun Maira, Chairman of Boston Consulting Group, today said that the Indian corporate sector should widen its search for human resources and improve the training of such resources to avoid abnormal increases in the pay packet.

"I am not surprised to find reports on rising wages and losing the cost advantage," he told reporters here today. "India has no dearth of people and we should adjust ourselves so as to broadbase the search for people. All we may need to do is improve the process of training the resources," he said.

Mr Maira was in the city to deliver the "Fifth Sir Jahangir Ghandy memorial lecture" on "Winning the new future: The managerial challenges ahead" organised by the Calcutta Management Association.

Mr Maira, however, expressed his satisfaction over the emergence of the Left as an important stakeholder in the Centre. "Democracy has led to a correction through the inclusion of the Left - the voice of which has been long unheard - in the process of decision making," he said.

He felt that the country should have a broader version of the common minimum programme in place.
