Job at 60: Global metal company Vedanta wants to get retired Indian bureaucrats on board

FOR someone who appeared for the civil service examination some 40 years ago, missing a newspaper advertisement for employment is nothing unusual. If you are a retired secretary to government of India, or a former chief secretary of a state, the newspaper advertisement issued by global metal major Vedanta Resources Plc, London-listed FTSE 100 company with an annual revenue of USD 7 billion, is meant precisely for you. The company has asked “former bureaucrats with IAS background and former members of judiciary” among others to apply for its advisory board which will function as “think-tank” and will closely work with its CEOs. The advisory boards are being formed for Vedanta Group companies such as Hindustan Zinc (Rajasthan), BALCO (Chhattisgarh), Vedanta Aluminium (Orissa), Sesa Goa and Sterlite Industries India Ltd (Tamil Nadu). The appointment will be for a two year term, and “remuneration and rewards will be befitting the role and stature” the advertisement says. Any doubt? You need to contact at 022-28302454.
