\"\"KOLKATA: Vodafone<\/a> India has rejigged its leadership structure by halving the number of operations directors from four to two to speed up decision-making, hasten its goto-markets strategy and optimise resources at a time when competition has increased with Reliance Jio Infocomm’s entry.
\n
\nIndia’s second-largest mobile carrier has split its countrywide operations into ‘direct’, ‘growth’ and ‘emerging’ market clusters.
Vodafone<\/a>’s biggest markets – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata\/West Bengal, Tamil Nadu\/Chennai and Gujarat – will comprise the ‘direct markets’ cluster. The business heads of these markets will directly report into Naveen Chopra, the company’s chief operating officer (COO). Earlier, they were reporting to one of the four operations directors depending on circle geography. The two operations directors, Suresh Kumar and Arvind Vohra, in turn, will supervise other circles categorised as ‘growth’ and ‘emerging’ market clusters respectively.
\n
\nThe removal of a senior managerial layer between the COO and the business heads of Vodafone’s biggest ‘direct’ markets was aimed at greater agility in decision-making and decision translation, a senior company executive told ET.
\n
\nCompany insiders said the new leadership structure has also been put in place to leverage strategic synergies between similar markets, optimise resource deployment and drive consistency of execution across markets.
\n
\nThe Indian unit of UK’s Vodafone Plc “has taken a strategic decision to have these large markets report into the COO to enhance organisational agility and speed-to-market, which reflect the company’s core values of speed and simplicity,” a Vodafone India spokesman said in a written response to ET’s queries. The new structure, he said, was created to also provide greater involvement of these large markets in the central strategy making process.
\n
An
industry<\/a> expert familiar with the exercise said the objective was to remove a senior managerial layer to unlock efficiencies, speed up information flows nationally and take faster decisions, especially with competition hotting up on the 4G front following Jio’s entry”. “Too many layers,” he said, “causes delays in the flow of critical information, which in turn, delays action”.
\n
The leadership rejig comes at a time when leading incumbent carriers like Vodafone are facing a tariff war unleashed by the recent launch of Jio's 4G services, offering free voice for life and data at about a fifth of the market rates. It also comes ahead of India’s biggest ever spectrum sale, starting October 1, where experts widely expect Vodafone India to be an aggressive buyer of 4G airwaves. More so, since the company has 4G spectrum only in nine of the country’s 22 circles, with operations in eight, lagging behind both Jio and
market leader<\/a> Bharti Airtel’s countrywide holdings. But the restructuring exercise appears to have had a few hiccups along the way, in the form of some senior level exits.
\n
\nFor instance, Anand Sahai, Vodafone India’s business head (Kolkata & West Bengal), and Manish Kumar, business head (Madhya Pradesh-Chattisgarh) have just resigned. Sahai is leaving the telecom sector and joining a reputed media company in a leadership role, while Kumar is joining Reliance Jio, a second person aware of the matter told ET.
\n
\nVodafone India declined comment on Sahai’s resignation but confirmed that Kumar was leaving. When contacted, Sahai told ET that he had “put in his papers on personal grounds to explore career growth opportunities in a non-telecom business,” but declined to reveal specifics about his next port-of-call. Outgoing MP circle head Kumar could not be reached for comment.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":54456716,"title":"Indian digital classified industry to touch $1.2 billion by 2020: Google-KPMG report","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/indian-digital-classified-industry-to-touch-1-2-billion-by-2020-google-kpmg-report\/54456716","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":54456793,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Vodafone India rejigs leadership structure amid senior level exits","synopsis":"The removal of a senior managerial layer between the COO and the business heads of Vodafone\u2019s biggest \u2018direct\u2019 markets was aimed at greater agility in decision-making .","titleseo":"telecomnews\/vodafone-india-rejigs-leadership-structure","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Kalyan Parbat","author_link":"\/author\/4437\/kalyan-parbat","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/4437.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":4437,"author_name":"Kalyan Parbat","author_seo_name":"kalyan-parbat","designation":"Assistant Telecom Editor at the Level of Senior Assistant Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-09-22 08:40:46","lastupd":"2016-09-22 09:38:44","breadcrumbTags":["Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited","Vodafone rejig","Vodafone","industry","market leader","People movement"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/vodafone-india-rejigs-leadership-structure"}}" data-authors="[" kalyan parbat"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-09-22" data-index="article_1">

加尔各答:沃达丰(Vodafone)印度已重新调整领导结构由四个业务董事的数量减半,两个加快决策,加速其goto-markets策略和优化资源竞争时增加了与信实Jio Infocomm的条目。

印度第二大移动运营商将其全国业务分为“直接”,“经济增长”和“新兴”市场集群。沃达丰(Vodafone)最大的市场——德里、孟买、加尔各答/西孟加拉邦,泰米尔纳德邦/钦奈和古吉拉特邦——将构成“直接市场集群。这些市场将直接报告的业务负责人Naveen Chopra,该公司的首席运营官(COO)。早些时候,他们报告的四个业务董事根据圆地理。这两个操作董事,苏雷什·库马尔Arvind Vohra,反过来,将监督其他圈子归类为“增长”和“新兴”市场集群。

移除一层高级管理沃达丰的首席运营官和业务负责人之间的最大的“直接”市场的目的是在决策和决定翻译的更大的灵活性,公司一位高管告诉等。

公司内部人士表示,新领导结构也已到位,利用类似的市场之间的战略协同效应,优化资源部署和驱动执行跨市场的一致性。

英国沃达丰集团旗下子公司印度的“采取了战略决策这些大市场调查报告的首席运营官增强组织敏捷性和更新,反映速度和简单的公司的核心价值观,“沃达丰印度发言人说在一份书面回应等的查询。创建新的结构,他说,也提供了更大的参与这些大中央市场策略制定过程。

一个行业专家熟悉运动说,目标是消除解开一层高级管理效率,加快信息流动在全国范围内,采取更快的决策,尤其是在竞争白热化的4 g面前Jio条目后”。“太多的层次,”他说,“导致延迟关键信息的流动,进而,延迟行动”。

领导调整之际,领先现任沃达丰(Vodafone)等航空公司面临关税发动战争Jio最近推出的4 g服务,终身提供免费语音和数据约为五分之一的市场利率。它也领先于印度最大的频谱出售,从10月1日开始,专家们普遍预计沃达丰印度是一个激进的4 g无线电波的买家。更是如此,因为公司只有4 g频谱在9个国家的22个圈子,在八、开展业务落后Jio和市场的领导者Bharti Airtel的全国资产。但重组运动似乎有一些打嗝,一些高级水平的形式出口。

例如,阿南德•Sahai沃达丰印度的商业头(加尔各答和西孟加拉邦),和Manish Kumar业务负责人(贾Pradesh-Chattisgarh)刚刚辞职。Sahai离开电信部门和加入一个著名传媒公司领导角色,虽然Kumar Jio加入依赖,一个人知道这件事告诉等。

沃达丰印度拒绝评论Sahai辞职但确认Kumar离开。联系时,Sahai说等他“把他的论文以个人理由non-telecom业务,探索职业发展机会”,但拒绝透露关于他未来的事件年表的细节。即将离任的议员圆头Kumar无法置评。
