NEW DELHI: Social media giant Facebook said Monday it has appointed former Hotstar executive Ajit Mohan as Vice-President and Managing Director of its India operations.
In this newly created role of Managing Director for India, a VP-level role, Mohan will be responsible for aligning teams and driving Facebook’s overall strategy in India, the US-based company said in a statement.
This is a new structure for Facebook India, where the senior leader reports into the headquarters at Menlo Park, the US, instead of Asia Pacific.
Mohan, who will join Facebook India early next year, will also be responsible for Facebook’s India strategy and for driving the company’s continued investment in India, the statement said.
“India is one of the largest and most strategically important countries for Facebook. As we think about what it will take to achieve our mission of bringing people together and building community, we know that investment in India is critical,” Facebook Vice-President (Business and Marketing Partnerships) David Fischer said.
He added that Mohan’s depth of experience will help the company in its engagement with “communities, organisations, businesses and with policy makers”. (AGENCIES)
