Meta India has appointed Aman Jain, who was earlier Amazon’s public policy director, as its new senior director and country head for public policy.
In this role, Jain will lead Meta’s public policy work in India and manage discussions with government and regulators. He will report to Simon Milner, Meta’s Asia-Pacific vice president for public policy. Jain is expected to start the role early next year. Earlier, the position was held by Shivnath Thukral, who joined fintech company PhonePe earlier this year.
Jain has over 20 years of experience and is joining Meta’s leadership team in India. He recently handled public policy strategy at Amazon for more than two years.
Before that, he worked at Google for over seven years and left the company in 2023 as its fintech industry head.
“India is a strategic market for Meta. As the country’s digital economy accelerates across areas such as AI, emerging tech and the creator economy, Meta aims to help build a more inclusive, trusted, and future-ready internet ecosystem for India,” Milner said.
India is Meta’s biggest market in the world. As of October 2025, India had the largest number of Facebook and Instagram users, with over 403 million Facebook users and about 480.6 million Instagram users.
With more people using smartphones and the internet in the country, India’s importance for Meta is expected to grow even more in the coming years.
Because of this growth, Meta has recently made several leadership changes in India to strengthen its presence.
Earlier this year, Meta promoted Arun Srinivas, who was leading its ads business, to head overall India operations. It also expanded the role of Sandhya Devanathan to manage all South Asia operations.
Along with leadership updates, Meta is increasing its focus on AI in India. Recently, it partnered with Reliance Industries to launch an AI-focused company called Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Limited (REIL), investing INR 855 crore together.
