WhatsApp's business chief Neeraj Arora quits in latest high-profile exit

WhatsApp now plans to launch its payments operations in India with a brand new team and a new man on top Abhijit Bose as head of WhatsApp India

Global chat messenger giant WhatsApp lost yet another member of its founding team on Monday when Neeraj Arora, company’s chief business officer, announced his exit from the firm. He was hand-picked by co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton and was the fourth employee they hired. With this, WhatsApp has seen the exit of most of its core original team.
