The IOA president has had the last laugh.

The Executive Committee of the Indian Olympic Association has finally called for a truce and agreed to ratify the appointment of Chief Executive Officer Raghuram Iyer.

The CEO, as mandated by the amended constitution, has called for a Special General Meeting in August. The SGM would consider and pass the audited statement of accounts for the financial year 2023-24, which was still pending. It (at SGM) will also appoint a statutory auditor for 2024-25 and approve submission of bids to the Commonwealth Sports for hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The CEO is active and, as expected, the dynamics within the IOA is set to change.

Though there could be a salary cut from ₹20 lakh a month agreed upon last year, it's yet to be announced. Even if there is, it doesn't matter. The CEO in IOA wields immense power, second to the president.
