The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) appointed Indian Premier League side Rajasthan Royals' former official Raghuram Iyer as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a year after it was due and following repeated reminders from the IOC.
The CEO will be an ex-officio member of the Executive Council without voting rights. He is not an elected member but a salaried official.
Iyer had earlier served as CEO of IPL sides Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiants.
As per the new Constitution drafted by a Supreme Court-constituted panel and approved by the IOC, the IOA was to appoint a CEO who would perform the functions of the erstwhile secretary general, within a month after taking charge of the new executive council led by PT Usha on December 10, 2022.
