Meta Platforms Appoints Sandhya Devanathan As India Head

Sandhya Devanathan comes in place of Ajit Mohan who resigned from Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, early this month.

Meta Platforms announced on Thursday that Sandhya Devanathan has been appointed as its India head, days after Ajit Mohan's departure to join rival Snap Inc.

She replaces Ajit Mohan, who left Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, at the beginning of this month.

That announcement also comes on the heels of news that both the director of public policy for India, Rajiv Aggarwal, and the head of WhatsApp in India, Abhijit Bose, at Meta Platforms resigned earlier this week.

"I'm pleased to welcome Sandhya as our new leader for India," Meta Chief Business Officer Marne Levine said in a statement.
