Sarin, 53, announced the departure on the day the mobile-phone service provider reported a record of $13.2illion pour.
The executive has helped to expand the company's businesses into emerging markets. Last year Vodafone bought Indian phone operator a majority stake in Hutchison Essar for 52 percent. Vodafone has 260 million customers, up from 120 million, when he first became CEO, the company said.
