Meta Platforms Inc's India head Ajit Mohan has quit after four years in the role to join rival Snap Inc , the companies said on Thursday, a high-profile exit for the Facebook parent in its biggest market.
Mohan has stepped down with immediate effect and Manish Chopra, director and head of partnerships at Meta India, will take over as interim head, a Meta spokesperson told Reuters.
His exit comes as Facebook faces a host of regulatory challenges in the country where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration has been tightening laws governing Big Tech companies. During Mohan's tenure, Meta navigated stricter calls from the Indian authorities to regulate content including hiring local nodal officers, and worked to secure a peer-to-peer payments license for WhatsApp messaging app.
