RS Sodhi was sacked from the post of MD of Amul, the office was also sealed, now he got the responsibility

Amul MD RS Sodhi: RS Sodhi has been sacked from the post of MD of AMUL. Along with this, his office has also been sealed and for the time being, Amul's COO Jay Mehta has been given the charge of MD.

Where was this decision taken?

The decision to replace Sodhi has been taken in the board meeting of the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). Let me tell you, this is a farmer co-operative organization operating the Amul brand.

Jayan Mehta has already been given the responsibility

When on 2 April 2018, the then MD K.K. Jayan Mehta was appointed in-charge MD even after Rathnam resigned due to corruption charges. At that time Rathnam was facing allegations of corruption to the tune of Rs 450 crore in the allocation of tenders and recruitment in dairy. Let me tell you, at that time the company had told his resignation not because of the allegations, but because of family reasons.

Who is RS Sodhi?

The full name of RS Sodhi is Dr. Rupinder Singh Sodhi, who was till now working as the Managing Director of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (AMUL). It is the largest food products organization in India. The Amul brand had an annual turnover of Rs 45,000 crore (US$6.5 billion) during 2018-19.
