Apple India head Sanjay Kaul resigns, Michel Coulomb to lead sales operations

In a sudden development, Apple India Sales Head Sanjay Kaul put in his papers and the company has named Michel Coulomb as new head of sales for the country.

Industry sources told IANS that Kaul who was elevated to the position in May last year has stepped down with an immediate effect.

An official statement from Apple was yet to come.

According to



Coulomb's Linkedin profile, he earlier led Apples operations in Middle East, Turkey and Africa before moving into Singapore last year as chief of South Asia.

Coulomb has been with the Cupertino-based iPhone maker for over 15 years.

Kaul's resignation comes at a time when Apple is struggling with improving its sales numbers - including iPhoneX -- in the country.
