In management rejig of telecom operations, Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications (RCom) today said that its wireless business head Syed Safawi is leaving the company and COO Shamik Das would oversee all the geographical divisions.

RCom, the country's second-largest telecom player, is restructuring its major business -- Wireless.

"The contract of Syed Safawi, president - wireless, has ended in the normal course and the same is not being renewed," RCom said in a statement.

The company is also merging all its geographical units, and geographical heads would report to Das, joint president & chief operating officer (COO).

"The primary objective is to enhance market competitiveness, execution excellence and improve productivity and quality of service in the field," the statement said.

A Chartered Accountant, Das has over 24 years experience in the telecom sector. Prior to joining RCom, he was with Bharti Airtel for more than 15 years.

According to RCom, the restructuring would result in a leaner and flatter organisation. This would also help in strengthening its customer facing - sales, distribution & customer service organisation and consolidating the backend operations to deliver higher value to customers.
