Top Dogs buy out Alcatel's
Indian arm
Economic Times, New Delhi, 9
December 2002
In a unique case of local
management buyout of a MNC's Indian Subsidiary, the $25-billion French telecom
major Alcatel's division, Alcatel Business Systems, has been brought out in
India by the senior Indian managemnt. Alcatel Business Systems India Pvt. Ltd.,
one of the many Alcatel divisions that have operations in India, was a 100% arm
of Alcatel Business Systems in France. Post-buyout, however, Alcatel doesn't
hold any stake in the unit, which has been renamed as ABS India Pvt. Ltd.
The senior management, which includes MD V Pradeep, director(sales and
marketing), Sunil Arora and Director (finance) Parswanath, now own the company.
Both FIPB and RBI approvals have been obtained for the deal. Alcatel Business
Systems global turnover is around $5 billion. The Indian division of Alcatel
Business systems has a turnover of Rs 45 crore.
The whole process of buyout was hand-held and supported by Alcatel's exclusive
partner in various networking equipment like LAN switches, WAN equipment and
EPABX systems. However, the company is free to deal with other companies
products in non-competing areas.
The decision of the local management to buy out the Alcatel parent came when
Alcatel decided that it was going to prune back the international arms of its
business solutions division.
In Europe, for instance, Alcatel Business Systems has sold its 17 subsidiaries
to one company, Platinum Equity. Says Alcatel Business Systems' Asian director
Philippe Chadoin, " In the enterprise space, if you want to get market
reach in different countries, one needs to hire a lot of people in the sales,
pre-sales and service space, and that costs a lot of money. And so Alcatel Business
Systems decided to hire business partners in various countries, rather than be
stuck with Alcatel's own employees. In the case of business partners, we can
change them after a period of time if we are not satisfied with their
performance."
Important
Training at ABS
Given that the telephone continues
to play a major role in the sales cycle, it is not surprising that your
communications system is one of the most important assets your organisation
has, after the people that it employs.
Technological developments that exist today can handle the most sophisticated
telecommunication tasks, but without the right level of skills or knowledge,
organisations may not realise the full potential of a chosen solution, where it
is only as effective as the people that use it.
With this understanding, ABS India imparts quality, cost-effective training
courses designed to help organisations not only adapt to changing environments,
but also deliver greater returns from their investments in both people and
communication systems.
ABS India also continues to support its innovative projects with training
program opportunities provided for its personnel to acquire different visions,
skills and technical knowledge. Thus, throughout the year, ABS India personnel
are provided with the opportunity to participate in several training programs.
