In October, Kapoor said he would contest charges of alleged financial irregularities levelled against him by Micromax and threatened to sue the firm. The company did not respond to queries related to Kapoor. In January, Micromax had roped in Vikas Thapar as Senior Vice President Finance. Apart from building the company's asset and revenue base, he has also been tasked to lead external relationship developments with key stakeholders including bankers, equity partners, investors and government authority.
