The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) has announced that its Secretary General, Deepak Sood, is stepping down to pursue other interests.
Commenting on Sood’s decision to move on, Sanjay Nayar, President, ASSOCHAM said, in a statement, “Deepak made important contributions to rebuilding a healthy balance sheet, delivering quality and a better national footprint for the chamber in recent years. The past presidents and I thank and wish him the best for the next phase.”
Sood said that he has decided to move on to pursue other interests, leaving behind more than five years of impact work at ASSOCHAM. “After unlocking significant value following recent collaborations with Startup Mahakumbh 2024 and working on the Bharat@100 initiative, there is great satisfaction in ending the association with the chamber on a high”.
Sood joined ASSOCHAM in 2019. Before that he served as the CEO of Invest Karnataka, Government of Karnataka, Executive Director at CII, among other roles with global organisations like ABB, Elf Lubricants (now called Total Fina Elf) and Larsen and Toubro.
