WhatsApp Pay India head Vinay Choletti resigned just four months after being promoted to the position.
Choletti’s resignation is Meta’s fourth high-profile departure in about a month and a half, following the resignation of its country head Ajit Mohan in November.
Following Mohan, WhatsApp India CEO Abhijit Bose and Meta India Public Policy Director Rajiv Aggarwal both left the company last month.
Choletti posted an update on Linkedin about leaving WhatsApp.
“As I sign off, I can proudly say that watching the scale and influence of WhatsApp in India has been a humbling experience,” Choletti said on Wednesday.
In October 2021, he joined WhatsApp from Amazon to lead the Merchant Payments vertical WhatsApp Pay.
