Vodafone Idea Ltd appoints Manoj Murali as its Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective October 19, according to a regulatory filing. The company says the board approves the appointment based on the recommendation of its Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
Murali is 55 and has more than 25 years of experience across telecom and mobility, with roles spanning sales, marketing, distribution, operations and customer experience. The filing describes his background in areas including mobile services, broadband and direct-to-home (DTH), as well as payments banking, mobile commerce and digital businesses. It also notes that he has led business turnarounds and has experience across operations in India and Africa. Most recently, he served as Chief Business Officer at Ola Electric.
Outlets largely focus on the same appointment details—effective date, board approval process, and Murali’s experience—without presenting differing claims about the role’s scope or performance impact.
