Bharti Airtel management re-jigged after Warid buy: report
13 Jan 2010
Bharti Airtel, India's largest telecommunications company, is expected to announce a significant reorganisation of its top management today, including the elevation of Sanjay Kapoor, currently deputy chief executive, as chief executive officer in place of Manoj Kohli, reports The Economic Times.
Quoting unnamed sources, the paper said Kohli would be moved to a larger role in the parent firm company, Bharti Enterprises. Kohli has been Airtel's chief executive and joint managing director since 2007.
The development comes hard on the heels of Bharti's acquisition of a 70-per cent stake in Bangladesh's Warid Telecom, which was announced on Tuesday as ''the start of Bharti's international journey of taking the company to be global player''.
