The ongoing restructuring also comes at a time when ADIF’s executive council members have seen differences arise over the growing influence of a leading payment firm in the industry body, sources said, without naming the firm.
An email sent to an ADIF spokesperson on the matter did not elicit a response on Wednesday.
Sairee Chahal–founder of Sheroes, tech executive Ajay Data, Murugavel Janakiraman–founder of Matrimony.com are among the members of the founding executive council, as per ADIF’s website.
