Salesforce, <\/a> the global giant in CRM, said on Wednesday that former banker Arundhati Bhattacharya will be joining the company on April 20 as chairperson and chief executive of its India division.<\/p>\n

Arundhati will report to Ulrik Nehammer, General Manager of Salesforce in the APAC region. \u201cArundhati is an incredible business leader, and we are delighted to welcome her to Salesforce as chairperson and CEO India,\u201d said Gavin Patterson, President and CEO of Salesforce International, in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia is an important growth market for Salesforce and a world-class innovation and talent hub and Arundhati\u2019s leadership will guide our next phase of growth, customer success and investment in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could not be more excited to join the Salesforce team to ensure we capture this tremendous opportunity and contribute to India\u2019s development and growth story in a meaningful way,\u201d said Bhattacharya in a statement.<\/p>\n

According to research firm IDC, Salesforce and its ecosystem of customers and partners in India are expected to create over $67 billion in business revenues and create more than 540,000 jobs by 2024.<\/p>\n
