Meta has appointed Arun Srinivas as the managing director and head for the company in India following the resignation of Shivnath Thukral, the previous head of public policy.
Srinivas will focus on Meta's business, innovation, and revenue growth, as per the company's statement.
He will lead the India charter, strengthen relationships with brands, advertisers, developers, and partners in the country for market growth.
Srinivas joined Meta nearly five years ago and will transition to his new role in July, reporting to Sandhya Devanathan.
Devanathan's role has expanded to include leadership of Meta's Southeast Asia operations.
Srinivas has over 25 years of experience in consumer goods, tech, and other domains and was previously the director and head of Ads Business at Meta India.
Previously, he held roles at Ola Mobility, Unilever, and Reebok.
Meta and AI giant OpenAI are reportedly looking to partner with Indian conglomerate Reliance on new AI businesses.
Meta is also expanding its presence in India by setting up a new office in Bengaluru and actively hiring for engineering and product roles in artificial intelligence.
Meta's Asia-Pacific chief Dan Neary announced plans to leave after a 12-year tenure, with Benjamin Joe succeeding him.
