Introduction
Indian businesses have grown increasingly operationally complex, owing to the diverse market, regulatory challenges, and intricate cultural nuances. Despite being traditionally overshadowed by CEOs, Chief Operating Officers (COOs) now play a pivotal role in Indian corporate organisations. They are instrumental in streamlining operations, ensuring optimal efficiency, and optimising processes to navigate these complexities effectively. Their significance can be attributed to their multifaceted roles in managing operational complexities, driving technological advancements, optimising supply chains, ensuring financial stewardship, nurturing talent, contributing to strategic decision-making, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
