Bata International is one of the largest producers and retailers of footwear in the world. In my experience, opportunities often exist for Bata employees to fill positions in Bata subsidiaries in other countries, consistent with the business needs of those subsidiaries. If you have personal reasons to relocate from India, you may find that talking to your management about opportunities with Bata in other locales could prove useful, as long as their are comparable Bata operations where you are going.

In the last 20 years, the footwear market in the U.S. has transitioned to one largely dominated by imports, with only a small percentage of shoes purchased in the U.S., actually made here. Furthermore, much of what remains here is high end footwear by specialty makers. Still, companies like Genesco http://www.genesco.com/about_genesco, Brown Shoe http://www.brownshoe.com/careers/, New Balance http://www.newbalance.com/, Allen Edmonds http://www.allenedmonds.com/, Timberland http://www.timberland.com/corp/index.jsp?page=workingHere,
and Stride Rite http://www.strideritecorp.com/open_positions.asp maintain either styling and brand building operations, or some manufacturing capacity in the American market.

You could also check the job board at the Two Ten Footwear Foundation http://www.twoten.org/Job-Board, for appropriate opportunities. Obviously, in the U.S., you face strict employment visa issues, which might not be as difficult in other regions of the world. But here is hoping you find an opportunity that you can pursue!
