AT Kearney India chairman C Srinivasan and vice-president Devinder Chawla have put in their papers.

When contacted, Srinivasan confirmed he had quit. "An entrepreneurial opportunity has come my way. I have been with AT Kearney for six years and it has been a fruitful stint," he said, adding that his proposed venture would have nothing to do with consultancy. Chawla could not be contacted.

According to sources, vice-president Ravi Kushan would continue as managing director of AT Kearney India. The sources said it was unlikely that a new chairman would be appointed immediately.
