Managing Director – India Platform — Low-Carbon Platform

The mandate

The board has concluded that incremental adjustment will not resolve a mandate to combine previously separate India businesses within a institutionally backed integrated energy producer and services platform. The immediate arena is the low-carbon platform during an asset-integrity programme. For mandate 361, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Managing Director – India Platform operating perimeter covers approximately ₹46,100 crore in operated asset and trading portfolio, with activity spanning several low-carbon platform customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Managing Director – India Platform Oil & Energy remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,975 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The chair, executive committee and principal capital sponsors want a Managing Director – India Platform who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the low-carbon platform. The Managing Director – India Platform Oil & Energy seat must resolve an asset-integrity programme, while preserving the underlying strengths of the low-carbon platform. For mandate 361, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Managing Director – India Platform’s first year on the low-carbon platform is expected to end with one country plan, integrated governance and profitable scale. In mandate 361, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a planned replacement for the Managing Director – India Platform — Low-Carbon Platform seat. The incumbent continues to lead the low-carbon platform through an agreed succession period and will support a structured handover. The board has allowed 4–6 months to assess candidates, complete diligence and protect continuity while an asset-integrity programme is addressed. The search is confidential so the transition can be communicated to employees, customers and partners in a controlled sequence.

What you will own

• Set the Managing Director – India Platform value-creation thesis for the low-carbon platform, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately ₹46,100 crore in operated asset and trading portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the Managing Director – India Platform Oil & Energy organisation of about 1,975 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the low-carbon platform economics and execution constraints created by an asset-integrity programme, with Managing Director – India Platform-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one Managing Director – India Platform operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the low-carbon platform; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Have led a country, division or operating entity with direct commercial, people and governance accountability in mandate 361.
• Build the Managing Director – India Platform’s three-year succession and capability plan for the low-carbon platform, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Oil & Energy organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the low-carbon platform baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to a mandate to combine previously separate India businesses, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal Managing Director – India Platform portfolio and organisation choices for the low-carbon platform, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
• Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable low-carbon platform trend against one country plan, integrated governance and profitable scale, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

• Delivery of the Managing Director – India Platform’s agreed first-year low-carbon platform value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A Managing Director – India Platform forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the low-carbon platform’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the Managing Director – India Platform mandate’s highest-priority low-carbon platform risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical low-carbon platform talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the Managing Director – India Platform’s direct reports.
• A quantified Managing Director – India Platform-owned improvement in the low-carbon platform operating constraint behind an asset-integrity programme, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 361: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a Country MD, India CEO or Regional Business President in a institutionally backed Oil & Energy or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the low-carbon platform, your Managing Director – India Platform track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from energy, oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, renewables or industrial services will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this Managing Director – India Platform brief.

As a Managing Director – India Platform candidate, you bring 28+ years of progressive Oil & Energy or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 28-plus experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of ₹26,750 crore and led an organisation of at least 1,375 people.

For mandate 361, the board wants two transitions: a difficult low-carbon platform portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during an asset-integrity programme. As the prospective Managing Director – India Platform for this low-carbon platform, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 361 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

• One completed Oil & Energy or adjacent-sector example of a mandate to combine previously separate India businesses with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from energy, oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, renewables or industrial services; experience that is purely functional and lacks Managing Director – India Platform-level low-carbon platform consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Mumbai location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 361.
