Bharti Group: Mittal Mentors Next Gen Leaders
2 Mar
Summary
- Sunil Mittal is mentoring younger family members for leadership.
- Succession planning at Bharti Group signals continuity.
- Professional management oversight will be retained.

Sunil Mittal is actively guiding younger family members, preparing them for future leadership roles within the Bharti Group. This mentorship initiative, involving Mittal himself, executive vice-chairman Gopal Vittal, and the senior management team, signifies a structured approach to succession planning.
The strategy at Bharti Group, a major Indian conglomerate, emphasizes continuity in leadership. As Mittal, who is approaching 70, continues to contribute, the plan ensures a smooth transition. This approach balances family involvement with the retention of professional management oversight.
Mittal recently indicated that he still has "some years left" to contribute to both Bharti Airtel and Bharti Enterprises. This suggests that while succession is being planned, the current leadership remains engaged and committed to the group's ongoing operations and growth.
