We aim to create an environment for lifelong employment where employees can gain a wide experience and exploit their potential without a burnout

What brought you here in Japan?

In my formative years, I studied how the culture of a country shapes its economy. The transformation of Japan from an imperialistic society to a post-World War II era of economic reconstruction and Kaizen philosophy at workplace had always intrigued me. Thus I came here to see all this for myself. After few lost decades, Japan is once again standing at crossroads, where it has to regain its place in the world economy. In my view, projecting an inclusive image and understanding of the rapidly changing global society, will be the key to success. Japan needs global citizens who can embrace both the Japanese and western way of doing things and bridge the gap when working cross-borders.

Is there any difference of working style between India and Japan?

I have never worked at Deloitte India, as I was a mid-career recruit at Deloitte Tohmatsu. I do however work closely with several teams in Deloitte India. There are cultural differences, but employee attrition is perhaps the most startling of them. At Deloitte Tohmatsu, it is not uncommon for our clients to find same team members even after several years of a project.
