In November last year, Meta’s India head Ajit Mohan quit the company to join rival Snap. Chopra served as the company’s interim head till Sandhya Devanathan took over as Meta’s India head on January 1 this year.

Within days of Mohan’s exit, Abhijit Bose, who was head of India, WhatsApp, also stepped down after a stint of nearly four years. And so did Rajiv Aggarwal, who was Meta India’s director of public policy.

Earlier in September 2022, Manesh Mahatme quit as the chief of WhatsApp Pay in India.

Chopra took to LinkedIn to announce his departure.However, he will help in the transition over the next few weeks.

“The recent months have been trying times for everyone in so many ways. I know this team has shown so much care and has helped each other selflessly...I am now looking forward to a new phase in my professional life. I will share more in due course,” he wrote.

Chopra’s departure comes at a time Meta is seeking significant churn in India.

“Manish has decided to step down from his role in Meta to pursue a new phase in his professional journey. He was a part of the India leadership team for more than 4 years and played a key role in scaling our business and deepening our relationships with creators and businesses,” Devanathan said in a statement.
