Professional social networking platform LinkedIn on Monday said it has appointed Ashutosh Gupta as country manager for India, effective September 2, 2019.

He will be succeeding Mahesh Narayanan, who was the country manager for India from January 2019 to June 2019.

Gupta had joined the company in 2013 to lead LinkedIn’s Marketing Solutions (LMS) business in India, and then moved to Singapore in 2016 to build LMS’ Online Sales Organisation (OSO) for Asia Pacific and China, it said in a statement.
