  As part of massive organizational restructuring Bharti Airtel on Thursday said that it would split its business into eights hubs to be controlled by Ajai Puri who will now be the Director (Market Operations). Currently the company has three regional hubs.
"The new organisation design is aimed at furthering the company's initiatives to build a more connected organisation, which is closer to the market place and is able to deliver a world-class experience to customers," Bharti Airtel said in a statement.
This is an ongoing restructuring process as the company recently had appointmented Manoj Kohli as its new Managing Director. The hubs will report to Ajai Puri, who has been elevated to the newly created position of Director (Market Operations).
Puri will report to Joint MD and CEO Designate for India Gopal Vittal.
"Circle CEOs will continue to report to a Hub CEO and operate with the same level of independence (as they do now), while the Hub CEO will provide overall guidance and oversight to the telecom circles under it," it said.
Raghunath Mandava, currently Operations Director (West & Distribution) has been elevated as Director (Customer Experience). He will also report to Vittal. Apart from this, Airtel Business CMO Najib Khan will now be CEO (Homes and Office). He will be responsible for telemedia business, SMB vertical, LTE and Wi-fi services.
K Srinivas will take over as Director (Special Projects) and will be responsible for evaluating potential investment opportunities and developing business case across various lines of business. He will report to Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal.
Last month after serving the company for 15 years, Sanjay Kapoor, Bharti Airtel’s CEO (India and South Asia) had quit giving way for Gopal Vittal who has been working as director (special projects) since April 2012. Kapoor will, however continue to be with the Bharti group as a director on the board of Indus Towers and Bharti Global.
