Punit Garg to head FLAG Telecom

Anil Ambani group company FLAG Telecom on Wednesday announced the appointment of Punit Garg, who was heading Reliance Infocomm's international business, as its president.

"Punit's long stint at Reliance Infocomm and his understanding of its objective and approach will be extremely beneficial for FLAG Telecom and Reliance Infocomm," Anil Ambani said in a statement.

Garg will replace Patrick Gallaghar, who will move on to become the Flag Telecom non-executive Vice-Chairman.

Garg, who joined Reliance Infocomm in 2001, will continue to be a member of the parent's senior management and his appointment is expected to hasten the process of assimilation for the global carrier with its parent company under the new management and put it on a faster growth trajectory, the statement added.
