Subsequently, Bharti Airtel restructured the leadership of Airtel Business into three segments: Global business, led by Vani Venkatesh; Domestic business, led by Ganesh Lakshminarayanan; and Nxtra Data Centers, led by Ashish Arora, according to a media report.
Sinha began his career at VSNL and has since held positions at Ericsson, Cisco, Tellabs, Palo Alto Networks, VMware, and Riverwood Capital. As President of Check Point Asia Pacific, Sinha focused on protecting businesses in the region from evolving cyber threats.
