MS Dhoni appointed as ‘CEO of the day’ by an oil company on Monday, and a beaming picture of the former India skipper while being seated in the CEO’s chair was tweeted by the firm.
“As a CEO of the company for the day, Mahi has attended all the special meetings of the company. He will also take quite a few decisions, just like a real CEO,” Pandey was quoted as saying by Sportstar.
The company tweeted a picture of the former India skipper in the CEO’s chair. He also attended special meetings of the company throughout the day to get a feel of corporate life.
