InMobi’s former CFO Manish Dugar has joined Practo Technologies, the Bengaluru based healthcare services provider. Practo was in news recently for hiring former Hike executive Anshumani Ruddra and former Matrix Partners executive Tarun Bhambra.
In the last six months InMobi has lost some of its key employees in its struggle to compete with Google and Facebook; in the same note, exit of Dugar has just confirmed the troubled situation of the company.
Surprisingly, Inmobi has confirmed the exit of Dugar but Practo refused to comment anything. Dugar himself has confirmed his association with Practo.
Before the move Dugar, an MBA from IIM Calcutta, had worked with companies like RPG Enterprises (group CFO), Wipro Technologies (Chief Exec.Business), Reckitt Benckiser, Coca Cola India, Marico and Larsen & Toubro.
