Kuldeep Goyal will retire from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) on July 31 after completing three years as CMD of the company. He joined the company on August 1, 2007.

He his tenure is one of the most difficult tenure that any CMD of BSNL has ever faced. His taking charge as CMD coincided with the A. Raja’s taking over as communications and IT minister. He did not enjoy good relationship with Raja. (This is similar to D.P.S. Seth, the first CMD of BSNL, not having good relationship with Pramod Mahajan, the then communications minister.)

He tried to revamp the company through various means such as restructuring it in lines of private organizations, implementing ERP system, and focusing on new sources of income. All his efforts are likely top show output in next few years.

Just prior to taking over as CMD, BSNL, Shri Goyal has worked as Director (Planning & New Services) and was responsible for planning and execution of strategy for expansion of BSNL''s network.
