WhatsApp appoints Ezetap CEO as new India head

-

Facebook-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has announced that it has appointed its first India chief, naming Abhijit Bose, Co-Founder and CEO of Indian payments firm Ezetap, in the position.

According to the firm, Bose will assume his new role in early 2019, helping to oversee WhatsApp’s operations in its biggest market, with more than 200 million people across the country regularly using the platform.

Based in Gurgaon, one of India’s fastest growing tech hubs, it is expected that Bose will help the firm to more readily tap into the payments market – a segment that WhatsApp has reportedly been interested in becoming more involved with for some time.
