India-headquartered oil and gas exploration and production company Cairn India has appointed Sudhir Mathur as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) & Member Executive Committee.
Sudhir joins Cairn India in early September 2012 from Aircel Cellular Ltd., where he was the CFO and responsible for Strategy, Finance, Supply Chain Management and Regulatory Affairs.
