The
Indian arm of the world's largest software company, Microsoft, named
its head of enterprise business as managing director, replacing Sanket
Akerkar, who has been in the role for over two years.
In
a statement on Monday, Microsoft India said Karan Bajwa will take over
as MD (sales and marketing) from Akerkar, who will move back to the
United States and take up another assignment for the company.
Bajwa's
appointment comes at a time when Microsoft India has been facing a
churn in its top deck, with over three business heads leaving the
company due to alleged differences with the leadership team, which
includes Akerkar and chairman Bhaskar Pramanik.
Sathya
Prasad Rai, head of Microsoft's small- to mid-market solutions and
Sushant Dwivedi, head of small and medium businesses solutions had left
the firm about three months back.
India is one
of the fastest growing markets for Microsoft, where it has over 5,000
employees and two research and development centres. In 2012, Microsoft
raked in Rs 5,417 crore in revenues from the country.
