Social media giant Meta India's APAC human resources head, Rishi Raj Gupta, has resigned from his role to pursue other options. Gupta led the HR business partnership for all businesses of Meta in India.
Joined in 2017, he was an integral part of the Indian leadership team.
A Meta spokesperson on the news said: “Rishi has made the decision to leave as HR director for India/APAC at Meta to pursue a new phase of his career. Over the last 7 years, Rishi has been an integral member of the India leadership team and has played a pivotal role in shaping the organisation's growth and development across the region.”
