B Muthuraman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B Muthuraman is the Managing Director of Tata Steel, India's leading private steel company and the Chairman of the Board of XLRI one of India's leading management schools based in Jamshedpur.
He completed his MBA from the Business Management Evening programme at XLRI in 1975. He is an alumnus of IIT, Madras (Class of 1966).
Having started as a "graduate trainee" in Tata Steel right after graduation, he spent some time in the engineering and iron & steel making side of the company before moving to sales and marketing. He has spent most of his career in sales and marketing. He saw the company through the worst of recessions in the industry in the early nineties as the head of the sales and marketing team. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment, before he was appointed Managing Director, was the early commissioning of the Cold Rolling Mill in Jamshedpur after a fruitless stint trying to setup a greenfield plant for Tata Steel in Gopalpur, Orissa.
