WhatsApp’s chief business officer Neeraj Arora, on Monday, announced his decision to quit the company, marking another high-profile exit at the Facebook-owned messaging app.
Arora has been serving the company since 2011 and through Facebook’s $19 billion acquisition in 2014.
Earlier this year in April, WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum left the company due to conflicts with Facebook on WhatsApp’s business model which was originally planned to be ad-free.
“I am confident that WhatsApp will continue to be the simple, secure & trusted communication product for years to come,” Arora wrote in a Facebook post.
Before joining WhatsApp, Arora worked with Google as Principal, Corporate Development.
Last week, WhatsApp named Abhijit Bose as the head of its Indian operations. He is the first ever country head of the messaging app and he will be joining the company in early 2019.
Arora has completed Under Graduation in Mechanical Engineering in IIT Delhi and MBA in Finance and Strategy in Indian School of Business.
