Airtel Africa appoints Gopal Vittal as new chair in leadership transition
Telecommunications group Airtel Africa has announced a leadership transition, with Gopal Vittal set to become the company’s new chair. He will succeed Sunil Bharti Mittal, who is expected to step down from the role in July.
The appointment marks a strategic shift for the London-listed company as it continues to expand its presence across African markets. Vittal, a seasoned industry leader and current chair of the GSMA, brings extensive experience in telecommunications and global business operations.
As part of the leadership reshuffle, Shravin Bharti Mittal will take on the position of deputy chair. The move reflects Airtel Africa’s focus on ensuring continuity while strengthening its governance structure.
The company has emphasized that the transition is part of its long-term strategy to support growth, innovation, and improved connectivity services across the continent.
