Meta's India head, Ajit Mohan, resigns to join Snap

According to a report by TechCrunch, Ajit Mohan, the head of Facebook parent Meta in India, has left the company and decided to join rival Snap. Mohan will lead Snap's APAC division as its president, according to TechCrunch.

In January 2019, Mohan joined Meta, which was formerly known as Facebook, as the VP and MD of the India business. India, which the company considers to be its largest market in terms of users, underwent significant changes during his leadership.

Over 300 million new users joined Facebook's family of apps, including Instagram and WhatsApp, during his tenure at the company. It also made a number of bold investments in India, including writing a $5.7 billion check to Jio Platforms, a major Indian telecom company, and expanded WhatsApp's business features in the region.
