Internet search major Yahoo! today appointed Arun Tadanki as the managing director of its India operations.
The position of the managing director at Yahoo! India was lying vacant since August 2007 when the previous MD of the company George Zacharias left the firm to pursue his own entrepreneurial interests.
Tadanki will be responsible for expanding and consolidating business in India as well as sub-continental Asia, Middle East and Africa, Yahoo! India said in a statement.
Tadanki will be based out of Delhi and report to Yahoo! Senior Vice President (Emerging Markets) Keith Nilsson.
"Yahoo! India is on a winning streak with more users coming to our site every day to start their Internet experience," said Nilsson.
Prior to joining Yahoo!, Tadanki was president Asia Pacific and Middle East in Monster.com.
