Days after Ajit Mohan quit Meta India for its rival Snap Inc, Facebook’s parent company appointed Sandhya Devanathan as the vice president of Meta India on Thursday.

Reports said Devanathan will work on bringing the organisation’s business and revenue prioritised together to serve its partners and clients. She will also continue to support the long-term growth of Meta India.

The development comes during the time when Facebook is dealing with regulatory challenges in India as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has tightened laws governing Big Tech companies. Over the years, the company is getting criticism for not taking any stringent steps to restrain the spread of fake news and hate speeches in India.
