On a late Friday afternoon in 2010 in Mumbai, Prabir Jha, senior vice-president and chief human
resources officer of Tata Motors Limited (Tata Motors), held his gaze on the bright young engineer Neel
Prakash seated in his office. Prabir listened to Neel and finally said, I know your mind is made up, and I
cant say I dont understand your reasons, and then, adding an extra bit of warmth, But, we really dont
want to lose you. It had been at Prabirs urging that Neel had withdrawn his resignation a couple of
months earlier. He held Prabir in very high esteem. But on that day, Neel spoke avoiding Prabirs gaze, I
have already accepted the other offer. Anyway, it is time I move on. Then, sensing Prabirs thoughts, he
looked directly into his eyes, I have thought about this a lot, and to be honest, I see no future for me
here!I need the assignment to be done. It is one case study with 6 questions each question should be answered in 500-700 words
