Twilight view of the Sur Industrial Estate
two Indian partners that had experience of building and operating plants with similar technology . Project managers and engineers in the construction phase and then in the building operation phase- area managers , operating staff , technicians and operators were all sourced from India . In parallel , fresh technical trainees were recruited from local colleges and have undergone extensive training development programs locally and in India .
A training department now identifies training gaps and specialises training programmes for individuals . Technical trainers supervise new recruits internally ; there is orientation in classrooms as well as on the job training mixed with OEM external training . Soft skills such as leadership , team building and conflict management are also covered and have become part of the company ’ s training manuals .
“ We have also invested significantly in people ; we have grown to over 550 staff members from 450 since we began operations . Slowly as we consolidated , that number has grown and so has the localisation efforts , rising from around 25 percent when we started to close to 74 percent now ”
– Sharanappa Gurappa Gedigeri , CEO
