NEW DELHI: From the boardrooms of the corporate world to the cool climbs of the Himalayas, this is how Arun Sarin, the outgoing CEO of world telecom giant Vodafone wants his life to be.

"I shall be going for trekking in Himalayas," Sarin, who is retiring this month after five-year eventful tenure at UK-based company, told reporters here today.

On May 27 this year, Sarin had announced his resignation from the company after engineering its turnaround through expansion into emerging markets like India.

"I shall be taking a brief break immediately after my retirement on July 29... I shall come back to India... and proceed for tracking to Himalayas," he said.



"I have come and done what I came to do," he had said at the time of announcing his resignation immediately after Vodafone Group announced a record profit of over 6 billion pounds for the year ending March 31, 2008.

India-born Sarin would be replaced by his deputy Vittorio Colao, a reserve Italian army officer, after the company's annual general meeting on July 29.
