Adani Ports names Sreedhar Menon as new chief financial officer

MUMBAI: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited is steering into new waters at the top of its finance team. The Board announced that Sreedhar Krishna Menon, currently CFO of group company AdaniConnex, will take the reins as chief financial officer from March 1, 2026.

He succeeds D. Muthukumaran, who is charting a new course within the wider Adani portfolio, stepping down as CFO on February 28. The handover marks a smooth transition in leadership for one of India’s largest port operators.

Menon brings a wealth of experience spanning India, Africa and beyond. He has spent over nine years at Airtel Nigeria, including a stint as acting CEO, and held senior finance roles across Bharti Airtel’s global operations. Most recently, he has been at the helm of AdaniConneX’s finances, sharpening his expertise in infrastructure and corporate strategy.

A qualified cost accountant and an alumnus of Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program, Menon is no stranger to navigating complex business landscapes. His appointment is expected to bring fresh perspectives to Adani Ports’ financial strategy as the company continues its global expansion.

With Menon at the helm, Adani Ports aims to keep its finances as well-charted as its shipping routes.
