Ann: India Project Update, page-130

Despite years of ECT advice otherwise the 'Good relationship and respect building' between certain parties is clearly non-existent... 

We are all well aware that this deal is the 'first of its kind,' as this retrick is  rolled out as an excuse for lack of progress repeatedly,

My question is simple.

ECT have an Indian director that to my knowledge hasn't closed a deal in the last 5 years, let alone  has any deal of any size in India on his resume. How can the director of India for ECT therefore  be expected / relied upon to close a deal of this magnitude ? very tough ask IMO... 

As a metaphor its like asking Usain Bolt to run the Olympic Marathon and expecting him to win without years of training.. sure he will try his best but he wont get the job done because he has no idea of the path forward and his first marathon is simply work experience. 

Surely ECT needs to either get someone with experience into this role asap, or at very least bring in a consultant with a strong history of Indian bureaucracy to support getting this closed out.. 

Maybe the above doesn't make sense... just food for thought on a Monday heatwave
