Rajan Anandan logs out of Google India, Caesar Sengupta may take over

Google’s loss is Sequoia’s gain. Rajan Anandan, the technology giant’s vice-president for Southeast Asia (SEA) and India, stepped down on Tuesday to take over as Singapore-based Sequoia Capital India’s managing director (MD).

Business Standard learns that Caesar Sengupta, who leads Google’s most important project ‘Next Billion Users’, is likely to succeed Anandan.

Vikas Agnihotri, country director-sales, at Google, will be replacing Anandan in the interim, after he steps down by April-end.

Anandan, who has been at the helm at Google India since 2011, has always had a keen eye for the future, and has been instrumental in building India-specific initiatives that have taken internet and Google product adoption to significantly high levels.
