“Ravi Sharma has resigned due to personal reasons,” said Raj Kumar Dhoot, managing director, Datacom. “However, he will continue to be an advisor.”

“I will be available to the Dhoot family whenever they need my advice,” said Ravi Sharma. He did not say anything about his next move. Dhoot said that his resignation will not have any impact on the roll out plans of the company.
