To ensure that the long-term vision of SE TransStadia Pvt. Ltd. to develop world-class sports infrastructure and a strong sporting culture in India takes the next step, Hiren Pandit joins TransStadia as COO.

Udit Sheth, Managing Director and CEO, said, “TransStadia has swiftly grown over the last 4 years. To manage this growth and further build the business we wanted to build a strong leadership team. I have known Hiren for some time now and believe his experience and passion are the right combination to lead TransStadia in achieving its objectives. Personally and on behalf of TransStadia I welcome Hiren and wish him all the success in his new role.”
