Sona Comstar shared a notice, wherein they have mentioned that their new chairman, after Sunjay’s demise, would be Jeffrey Mark Overly, while Vivek Vikram Singh will continue to be the CEO of the firm. On the other hand, Sona Comstar announced that Sunjay’s third wife, Priya Sachdev, will be designated an additional non-executive director of the firm. An NED or non-executive director’s work is to ensure that the company is running properly, without being engaged in day-to-day actions that are being done in the company. He/she might sit with the board and work like a mentor, who generally has an important role while any serious decision is being taken for the company.
