WhatsApp India head Abhijit Bose, Meta’s Public Policy head Rajiv Aggarwal resign

Facebook-parent Meta faced a double whammy in India on Tuesday as two of its key executives in its largest market left the tech giant.

WhatsApp’s India head Abhijit Bose and Meta Platforms Inc’s public policy director in India, Rajiv Aggarwal, have resigned, a Meta spokesperson confirmed, adding that it has named Shivnath Thukral as its new group director of public policy.

The news came less than two weeks after its India head, Ajit Mohan, ended his four-year stint at the social media giant abruptly to join rival Snap Inc. Last week, Meta revealed plans to lay off thousands of employees as revenue from digital ads dropped after its clients cut marketing budgets amid rising global economic uncertainty.
