Facebook’s WhatsApp Names India Head at a Crucial Time

Facebook’s WhatsApp Names India Head at a Crucial Time

Facebook’s (FB) WhatsApp subsidiary recently named Abhijit Bose as head of its India operations, making India the first nation where WhatsApp has appointed a country head. The appointment, which has come just as WhatsApp is gearing up to launch a mobile payment service in the country, may be based on Bose’s experience in India’s payment market as the co-founder and CEO of Indian mobile payment provider Ezetap.
