Meanwhile, as per an Economic Times report, Airtel has handed over CMO responsibilities to Vani Venkatesh. Venkatesh joined Airtel as CEO - Retail in November 2016 from Abbott Nutrition.

Before Abbott, Venkatesh worked with McKinsey & Company as a consultant for nine years, HUL for three years and Price Waterhouse for around three years.
