“In the telecom value chain, Tata Communications is a service provider and not an equipment provider, so I saw more value in the company,” said Kumar. He is based in Delhi and reports to the company’s Singapore-based chief legal officer, John Freeman.
Kumar, who has previously worked at Vodafone, Motorola and Electrolux, said working for an “an Indian multinational that has a presence in 40 countries” will give him “a different exposure”.
Tata Communications is a US$2.75 billion company and is the flagship telecoms arm of the US$100 billion Tata group.
