Google appoints new public policy head in India amid regulatory overhaul

Google has named Sreenivasa Reddy as its Government Affairs and Public Policy lead for India, filling the role after a year-long gap, at a time when tech behemoths are under intensified scrutiny over anti-competition and data usage concerns.

Reddy will oversee interactions with governmental bodies, regulators, businesses, and civil society organisations to frame policies and initiatives. Prior to this, he served as the head of XR (extended reality) regulatory affairs for Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa at Microsoft for two years. Additionally, he has led the government and regulatory affairs divisions at Apple and Ericsson in India.
