Twitter’s Public Policy Director for India and South Asia, Mahima Kaul, has resigned to pursue other interests, Twitter confirmed in a statement.
Kaul joined the company in 2015 from Observer Research Foundation, a think-tank, where she was a fellow leading the cyber and new media initiatives.
Commenting on the development, Monique Meche, VP, Public Policy, Twitter said: “At the start of this year, Mahima Kaul decided to step down from her role as Twitter Public Policy Director for India and South Asia to take a well-deserved break. It’s a loss for all of us at Twitter, but after more than five years in the role we respect her desire to focus on the most important people and relationships in her personal life.”
“Kaul will continue in her role till the end of March and will support the transition,” Meche added.
“The Public Policy team acts as Twitter’s ambassadors to government policymakers, regulators, and civil society groups on public policy issues. We focus on addressing issues such as advocating for an Open Internet, freedom of expression, privacy, online safety, net neutrality, and data protection to advance the interests of Twitter and our customers. In addition, we serve as the #TwitterForGood team and provide guidance, resources, and support for Twitter’s Corporate Social Responsibility mission,” the company said in its job description on LinkedIn.
Kaul holds a BA in Political Science, History from McGill University and an MA in Communication Policy from University of Westminster.
