Software major Microsoft has said that Ravi Venkatesan, Chairman and Corporate Vice-President of its India operations, has resigned.
Mr Venkatesan has decided to pursue opportunities outside Microsoft, the company said in a statement today.
A successor will be named in the near future and Mr Venkatesan will partner with the Microsoft International President, Mr Jean-Philippe Courtois, to ensure a smooth transition with his successor, it added.
“Ravi came to Microsoft India at a very critical time. He has since architected our growth, making this among the fastest growing markets for us. He has laid a strong foundation which, I believe, will help us to continue our business successes,” Mr Courtois said.
Mr Sanket Akerkar will continue to lead the overall sales, marketing and services businesses as the sales and marketing head for India, while Mr Hemant Sachdev will continue to lead the consumer and online business.
