Facebook’s S. Asia and India MD Umang Bedi resigns
Umang Bedi, MD, India and South Asia at Facebook, has stepped down from his role. Mr Bedi joined Facebook in July 2016 after serving as managing director for India operations for Adobe.
In a press statement to Digital Market Asia, a Facebook spokesperson shared, “We confirm that Umang Bedi will be leaving his role and Facebook at the end of this year. He’s built a really strong team and business during his time with us, and we wish him all the best.”
According to some media reports, Facebook has appointed Sandeep Bhushan as interim MD in India. He has been part of Facebook’s core leadership team in India.
Mr Bedi will be associated with Facebook till the end of December 2017 for a smoother transition for the company. When asked about his future plans, he said he would “follow my passion”.
Mr Bedi replaced Kirthiga Reddy as the managing director for Facebook India last year. Ms Reddy, who had served that position for more than five years, stepped down amid the company’s ongoing tussle with the Indian regulator over Free Basics. At the time the company said Reddy was planning to change roles for some time.
