Stabilising a Business in 120 Days: Interim COO Deployment in India:
The Situation:
A ₹700 crore Indian manufacturer in the speciality chemical and food ingredients sector was at risk of major operational disruption. Following the sudden exit of it’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), the company faced stalled strategic projects, poor client delivery, and growing internal instability. With no internal successor and a major European client threatening to exit due to missed SLA’s, the business needed leadership, and fast.
The Solution:
IXPA’s partner for India, CxO72 by BGR, deployed an experienced interim COO
within just 7 days. The leader brought deep transformation experience in manufacturing, hands-on operational insight, and a proven track record of turnaround in complex industrial environments.
Within 4 weeks, operations were stabilised. Production planning was cleared, dispatches aligned, and client confidence restored. SLA adherence reached 100% within 30 days. At the same time, the interim executive empowered mid-level managers, restructured plant operations, and revived stalled automation and energy initiatives.
In parallel, CxO72 hired and onboarded a permanent COO within 90 days, ensuring a seamless transition through structured handover and ongoing advisory support.
The Outcome:
With 120 days, the organisation achieved measurable results across all key areas:
Order fulfillment rose from 67% to 98%
EBITDA margin improved from 8.2% to 11.6%
Customer complaints reduced by 80%
On-time dispatches increased from 61% to 96%
Attrition dropped from 12% to under 4%
This rapid transformation proved that interim leadership is not just about continuity; it’s not just about performance, execution, and long-term value.
