Nokia also said that its current vice president for managed services, Henrik Sund, is quitting the company. Ashish Chowdhary, currently the country head for Nokia’s Networks group in India, will become global head of managed services by the end of the year, Nokia said.
India’s mobile subscriber base has crossed 100 million, and as service providers expand their networks, they have turned to service providers like Nokia to manage their networks.
