Ravi Rajagopal decides against seeking re-appointment with Peabody chair citing time commitment of “other roles and interest”
The vice-chair of Peabody has decided against seeking re-appointment for a second board term.
Ravi Rajagopal will stand down from the board of the 104,000-home association on 31 October as his initial three-year term comes to an end.
Under Peabody’s governance rules, its board members typically serve two consecutive three-year terms.
David Hardy, interim chair of Peabody, cited Rajagopal’s “other roles and interests” which “include international travel and a significant time commitment” as being behind the decision.
Rajagopal is a director at telecommunications giant Airtel Africa. He is also chair of Fortis Healthcare, which operates private hospitals in India.
