Microsoft appoints former AWS executive to lead India operations

Microsoft on Tuesday announced that former AWS India president Puneet Chandok has been appointed as the corporate vice president of Microsoft India and South Asia.

The development comes on the back of intense competition between the two global tech giants for their cloud business. The software giant is also seeing reshuffle within company’s top executives. Irina Ghose, the company’s chief operating officer, has been appointed as managing director of India on July 1st, and Sashi Sreedharan, the MD, has been promoted to a more senior position.
