Bharti Airtel’s CEO for India and South Asia will stand down on 28 February, after 15 years with the India-headquartered telco group.
Sanjay Kapoor is leaving “to pursue his future aspirations outside of Bharti”, the company said in a statement to the stock exchange today.
He will be replaced by Gopal Vittal, who currently serves as group director of special projects. Vittal will report to Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman and MD of Bharti Airtel.
Kapoor will continue to assist on key matters until 31 March to ensure a smooth transition, added the statement.
“Sanjay has had an enviable performance track record, strategic disposition, business acumen and is an inspirational leader,” said Mittal in today’s announcement to the bourse.
“Not only has he provided strong leadership and strategic direction during the toughest macro economic and regulatory environment, but has grown our customer base to 200 million, developed DTH business, driven fixed line and broadband businesses from voice to data, enhanced our footprint in Asia to include Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and retained mobile revenue market share at over 30%.”
