Satish Pai

Satish Pai

Managing Director Hindalco at Aditya Birla Group

"We live, work and operate in a global environment. Just as the need for good talent is a commonality across several geographies, so is the need felt by individuals for work support in local environments. Permits Foundation supports both, organizations and individuals, in this regard. Organizations get access to a quality talent pool, and spouses and partners get access to workforce opportunities. I believe this is a much-needed solution that will enable companies, individuals and local economies to thrive."

After taking charge as the CEO of Hindalco’s Aluminium Business in August 2013, Satish Pai was the driving force behind three mega green-field projects that established Hindalco as among the biggest producers of primary aluminium in Asia.
