Yahoo! India appoints Arun Tadanki as managing director

Internet search major Yahoo! on Wednesday appointed Arun Tadanki as the managing director of its India operations.

Tadanki will be responsible for expanding and consolidating business in India as well as sub-continental Asia, Middle East and Africa, Yahoo! India said in a statement.   Tadanki will be based out of Delhi and report to Yahoo! Senior vice president (emerging markets) Keith Nilsson. 

"Yahoo! India is on a winning streak with more users coming to our site every day to start their Internet experience," said Nilsson.
