The decision was made following claims of resistance from the Aakash founders to honor a share swap agreement that was agreed upon without conditions as part of the sale of Aakash Educational Services. Even though Chaudhry still holds an ownership stake of approximately 11 percent in Aakash, recent events indicate a decreasing probability of his return to a leadership position.
