Kellie Harrington says it is Ireland's loss and India's gain as Bernard Dunne was confirmed as Indian boxing's director of high performance on a five-year contract.
Dunne, 42, left a similar role with the Irish Amateur Boxing Association in May, having taken extended leave after guiding Ireland's boxing team to two medals at the Tokyo Olympics.
Dunne didn't return to his role with the association due to a pre-Games controversy that saw him close to quitting the post - when a document was distributed to the IABA board critical of his stewardship of the high-performance unit.
