| At the time when Dr. Ganesh Natrajan took over as the CEO of Zensar Technologies Ltd in India in 2001, the company was in a state of turmoil. Staff morale was low and the company was essentially a staffing agency sending IT professionals to work at client sites abroad. As Natrajan started to implement across-the-board changes at Zensar, the company had grown from 850 employees in 2001 to 4,000 employees in 2007 with the number of clients increased from 57 in 2001 to 273 in 2007. Revenue increased from US$42.8 million in 2001 to US$179.57 million in 2007. This case covers the detailed strategies implemented by Natrajan that resulted in Zensar's explosive growth. |
