Board-level appointments at public sector enterprises are typically made based on recommendations from the Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB), the government's official headhunter. PESB usually advertises vacancies months in advance, conducts interviews of shortlisted candidates, and forwards its recommendation to the government. The final appointment is made by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after due vetting.
