Rupinder Singh Sodhi - THE HINDU×
The Board of Directors of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF) has given an extension to Rupinder Singh Sodhi, the incumbent Managing Director of the Amul marketer, for a period of six months.
The decision was taken at the Board’s meeting held on Wednesday.
BusinessLine had earlier reported that the GCMMF Board was in favour of extending Sodhi’s term, rather than finding a successor immediately.
Sources confirmed that the Board of Directors has agreed on an extension for a period of six months. However, there is no confirmation if a search committee would be set-up, in the meantime, to find Sodhi’s successor.
