Indus Towers Limited is signaling a tech-forward shift at the boardroom level by appointing Randeep Singh Sekhon as a Director, liable to retire by rotation. The move, detailed in the company’s notice and outcomes of a postal ballot/e-voting, sees Sekhon — currently Chief Technology Officer for Airtel India and South Asia — stepping onto Indus Towers’ board with effect from May 1, 2026 as an Additional Director, and receiving shareholder approval to continue as a Director on July 29, 2026.
Sekhon brings nearly three decades of experience in telecom technology and digitization. A seasoned executive, he has steered technology strategy and innovation, digitization efforts, network operations, rollout planning and quality for Airtel’s Indian and South Asian businesses. His leadership pedigree also includes a stint as CEO of Hutchison Tri Indonesia, where he drove customer-centric transformation and efficiency. This blend of hands-on tech leadership and large-scale telecommunications operations positions him to influence Indus Towers’ roadmap as the company navigates 5G enablement, roaming, and the broader networking ecosystem.
The appointment underscores Indus Towers’ intent to fuse governance with deep technology insight at the highest level. With Sekhon now on the board, Indus gains a direct link to an operator’s technology playbook, potentially accelerating collaboration on network deployment and digital services for tower infrastructure. The move is part of a broader governance process approved by shareholders and reflected in the company’s disclosures, and Sekhon will retire by rotation at the upcoming statutory interval.
