Telecom major Bharti Airtel on Wednesday said it has appointed Adarsh Nair as the company's Chief Product Officer.
Nair,
who was working with US-based Convoy Inc, would report to Gopal Vittal,
MD and CEO of Bharti Airtel for India and South Asia, Airtel said in a
statement.
"In his new role Adarsh will be the custodian of
Airtel's digital products and platforms, and play a pivotal role in the
company's digital transformation journey. He will work closely with
Airtel's leadership team and partners to identify and prioritize market
opportunities," it said.
The post was vacant for three years after Anand Chandrasekaran quit as the Chief Product Officer in 2015.
People
in the know of the developments said the company now needed a product
head as it transforms from a telecom-specific firm to a digital company
with the introduction of "Airtel 3.0" vision.
