Indian Olympic Association appoints Raghuram Iyer as Chief Executive Officer

The Indian Olympic Association on Friday announced the appointment of Raghuram Iyer as the Chief Executive Officer of the sports body.

This comes after a delay of almost a year.

The Indian body, the IOA for short, was expected to appoint a CEO within a month of the new PT Usha-led executive council taking over, on December 10, 2022. However, the IOA had fallen short on selecting a candidate.

The IOA’s lack of a CEO had also been brought up by the International Olympic Committee during the IOC Session in Mumbai in October.
