New Delhi , Sept. 13

CLOSE on the heels of the CTV Group Head Mr C.M. Singh putting in his papers, yet another top official at LG Electronics India is leaving.

Mr Salil Kapoor, who has been serving as the Head Marketing Services and Brand at the company, has decided to move on from his present assignment on grounds of better prospects.

Mr Kapoor worked in various capacities at LG Electronics and has been with LG for seven years.

"The organisation provided me an excellent opportunity to learn and contribute to the building of the brand. I am discontinuing my services to explore further challenges," Mr Kapoor said.

Mr Girish Bapat, who was earlier with Mahindra & Mahindra, has been designated Vice-President - Marketing at LG.

The past few months have seen several high profile movements in the consumer durables industry. Following the takeover of Electrolux Kelvinator's operations by Videocon, the company's Managing Director Mr Rajeev Karwal and Vice-President (sales and marketing) Mr Ajay Kapila had resigned from the company. Mr Kapila is learnt to be joining the Jumbo Group.

Mr Arvind Mediratta, who was Vice-President (Marketing) at Whirlpool of India, too had resigned from the company.
