Former Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth May Join Honor as India Head: Report

Realme appointed Madhav Sheth as the VP for Business and Corporate Strategy (Global) in March this year. After a successful phase with Realme, Sheth is reported to make an exit from the company soon. A new report has hinted that the former Realme India CEO may soon join as the head of Honor’s India branch. With this, it is also being speculated that Honor, which was previously owned by Chinese brand Huawei, may re-enter India in August this year. Neither Honor, nor Sheth have given any updates on these reports.

An ET Telecom report has suggested that Honor’s India partner PSAV Global Tech Private Limited is in discussion with formal Realme CEO Madhav Sheth as the smartphone company plans to again make its way to Indian markets.
