Ranjit Yadav, Country Head - Mobile and IT, Samsung Corp. has resigned, according to reliable industry sources.
Yadav had joined the company in 2008 from Hewlett-Packard Co. where he was the Director for Regional Channel/Distribution Sales and Partner Management for Asia Pacific.
This development is expected to shake up the domestic handset industry since Samsung was on its course to becoming a leading handset player in India, replacing Nokia Corp.
When contacted, Yadav neither confirmed nor denied the development.
According to industry rumors, Yadav might join Apple Inc., Samsung's closest competitor globally.
Yadav's resignation comes a week after Nokia's decision to rope in P Balaji as Vice President and Managing Director for the India region from Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications.
