Then, in March 2015, Kishore joined Vodafone Cellular and worked as the Business Head for Kerala circle. He managed this role for about two years, and then shifted to Gujarat, with the same responsibility. In 2020, Vodafone Idea appointed Kishore as the new Chief Enterprise Officer, a seat at the big table in the company. Very quickly, in November 2021, Kishore was appointed as the COO (Chief Operating Officer) of the telco, and by this time, Vodafone Cellular had become Vodafone Idea Limited and was led by Ravinder Takkar.

Kishore served as the COO of the company from November 2021 to August 2025. Now, he is the new CEO. It has been more than a decade for Kishore with Vi. He seems like a genuinely good candidate to fill the role of the CEO. Now, he leads the ship, and it is not an easy time to takeover as AGR dues are soon going to be payable.
