This accomplishment was credited to NVS Reddy’s departure from traditional bureaucratic approaches, instead adopting an entrepreneurial mindset. Through passionate dedication and a commitment to inclusivity, NVS Reddy consistently implemented a stakeholder-centric policy and transparent communication, which were vital to the project’s success.
Based on this successful leadership experience, the study developed a new concept of stakeholder management. It indicated that management practitioners can learn a lot from the Hyderabad metro experience as to how to build mega public purpose infrastructure projects through private sector capital and resources, with deep engagement of all stakeholders including media for the broader social good.
