Pernod India counsel resigns for Google amid antitrust, criminal probes

Pernod Ricard’s legal head in India has resigned, said two sources with direct knowledge of the matter, a key departure at a time when the French liquor giant faces many legal and regulatory headaches in the critical Indian market.

The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the official, Bijoya Roy, will join Google in November as its top India counsel, with the US tech giant confronting several antitrust investigations of its own.
