Sunil Mittal, Gopal Vittal join BT Group board as non-independent, non-executive directors

BT Group on Monday said Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder and Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, and Gopal Vittal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Bharti Airtel, will join its board as non-independent non-executive directors with immediate effect.

The move assumes significance in the light of 2024 announcement of telecom czar Mittal’s conglomerate acquiring 24.5 per cent stake in BT Group for about $4 billion to become the single-largest shareholder in Britain’s biggest broadband and mobile company.
