Vedanta CEO Venkatakrishnan resigns

Diversified miner Vedanta said on Friday CEO S Venkatakrishnan has resigned due to personal reasons, less than two years after he took the helm.

Sunil Duggal, current head of Vedanta unit Hindustan Zinc, will take over as interim CEO.

Venkatakrishnan, who was previously CEO of South African miner AngloGold Ashanti, took over as Vedanta chief in 2018 amid a rebound in metal prices.
