A. M. NAIK... Chairman & MD, Larsen & Toubro
His children shout, “Take it easy...” but he won’t!
A. M. Naik heads a conglomerate reputed for its technological sophistication, engineering capabilities & professionalism – Larsen & Toubro. Having led L&T through some of its most challenging times, he enabled it to emerge as a truly strong global infrastructure giant. The global perspective brought in by Naik to L&T’s business orientation involved much more than just increasing the international component of the company’s turnover; it meant changing mindsets and institutionalizing systems to benchmark against international standards. And thus, we saw some spectacular breakthroughs into developed nations market such as the US, Canada, the UK, Norway, South Africa & Australia. He also shares a deep concern for social and welfare issues. But at the same time, this modest warrior expresses his tall vision for L&T as, “I want to create many MNCs within L&T. Each of these companies can have footprints in many countries & grow into mega businesses.” Naik is truly an inspiration for all within & without L&T!
