Last week, Jay Menon had exited from Bharti Airtel after a 11 year stint, amid rumors of code of conduct violations while awarding contracts for third party companies. There were also talks of Airtel launching a full-fledged investigation into this matter. Menon however had denied these rumors, terming them as baseless rumors.
