RJIL appoints Shamik Das as its chief corporate development officer

Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL) has appointed Shamik Das as its chief corporate development officer. He will report to Pankaj Pawar, who oversees Reliance’s retail and telecom businesses.

Under this role, Das will be responsible for assessing customer readiness and demand for data services in the geographies where RJIL will roll out 4G voice and data services in coming months. Earlier this year, Reliance Retail had carved a dedicated division to focus on 4G device sales ahead of RJIL’s 4G services rollout.

Das has earlier worked with Reliance Communications, where he was joint president and chief operating officer of the wireless business. He has also held several executive positions such as chief executive officer (CEO) of SingTel Private Limited and CEO (Southern region) of Bharti Airtel.
