Also, both the companies have expressed their immense appreciation to Himanshu Kapania and Sunil Sood for their successful leadership of Idea Cellular and Vodafone India respectively. The press statement read that both they will continue in their current roles until such time as the merger completes.
“The commercial, operational and strategic experience of Sunil Sood and Himanshu Kapania are extremely important to both businesses, and their support will be invaluable during the initial phase of the integration once the merger completes. Sunil Sood will join the Vodafone Group AMAP Leadership Team and also help governance through Board memberships. The Aditya Birla Group intends to nominate Himanshu Kapania as the non-executive Board member of the merged entity,” read the press statement.
Vodafone and Idea are currently in the process of securing the required regulatory approvals for the merger and also stated that the merger is expected to be completed in the first half of the current calendar year.
However, do make a note that the existing leadership teams of Idea Cellular and Vodafone India will continue to manage their separate businesses and be accountable for each company’s operational performance until the merger becomes effective. It is only upon completion of the merger that the two businesses will cease to operate as distinct and competing entities.
