The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications has organised a private farewell cocktail in honour of outgoing Chief Executive of Airteltigo Mr. Murthy Chaganti, on May 27, 2021 in Accra, for his outstanding contributions toward the telecommunications industry.
The cocktail event was attended by Chief Executive Officers and representatives of the various mobile network operators, tower and infrastructure companies, as well as the Bank of Ghana, National Communications Authority and others.
Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber, Dr. Kenneth Ashigbey, in his opening remarks described Mr. Chaganti as a “pacesetter” and role-model. According to him, the outgoing Chief Executive was passionate and dedicated to his work when he working at the helm of Airteltigo.
Mr. Selorm Adadevoh, CEO of MTN, in his remarks lauded Murthy for his tremendous work as Chairman of the Governing Council of the Chamber – especially leading the team to address critical issues which accrued to the benefit of the Chamber’s members.
“People can be steadfast about lots of things, but this by itself is not enough. Realism is when someone believes in what they say, or act in a way that is consistent with their beliefs. An authentic person is equally able to stand up and say what they truly believe. And those are the characteristics of Mr. Murthy Chaganti,” he remarked.
Mr. Chaganti, in his acceptance speech, recounted his journey with the Chamber after he took over from Mitwa Ng’ámbi (his predecessor) and his competitors in pursuing policy and regulations that sought to make the industry thrive, and to offer world-class telecom services to Ghanaians.
CEO of Vodafone, Mrs. Patricia Obo- Nai, in her remarks also acknowledged the good work Murthy had accomplished with the Chamber and for the entire industry.
Mr. Chaganti served as Chairman of the Governing Council of the Telecoms Chamber from May 2020 to May 2021.
