Abstract: This case study delves into the strategic human resource and organizational challenges faced by Indo Autotech (IAT), a renowned family-run business manufacturing automotive spare parts. The narrative revolves around Mr. Anand Jain, the Managing Director of IAT, who was facing a complex web of human resource challenges in areas of employee welfare, technological adaptation, operational efficiency, and workforce diversity – while navigating market volatility exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges, caused by both external disruptions and internal weaknesses, had threatened to slow down the company’s growth and put at risk Anand’s ambitious goal of reaching $20 billion in turnover within five years. Beyond the financial target, these issues had also endangered the legacy of employee-centric values that had been passed down to him. The situation demanded immediate strategic interventions by Anand to ensure that IAT preserved the company’s market position, enhanced operational efficiency, and upheld its legacy of employee-centric values to remain competitive in the dynamic automotive industry. This scenario presents students with a compelling opportunity to analyze real-world decision-making in a high-stakes management context.
