I also warmly welcome Christine to the Board. She brings years of energy and power experience and deep financial expertise. Her taking on the Chair of Audit, succeeding Arno, inspires confidence that our processes and control environment will continue to be strengthened as we grow.”

We are pleased to welcome Christine on Board. Her extensive experience in corporate finance, strong leadership and connect with Indian businesses, particularly in the power sector, will greatly benefit all of us at the Board and the Management. I look forward to working closely with her to ensure Azure Power continues to deliver positive impact for all its stakeholders.”
