Meta India public policy head Shivnath Thukral will be stepping down from his role at the end of this month. Thukral, who joined Meta (then Facebook) in 2017, has been with the company for nearly seven and a half years, serving in multiple policy roles. He was appointed director of public policy for Meta India in November 2022, following the exit of Rajiv Aggarwal. Prior to that, Thukral served as director of public policy at WhatsApp India for about four years. He was elevated to Meta's vice-president for public policy in March 2024. "It is not an easy decision to make, but I feel very confident that our policy engagement with stakeholders is at a credible and constructive juncture, and we can only build further on that," Thukral said in a LinkedIn post on June 11. "There is always more to do, and I know the team is well equipped to navigate the waters well. Having helped build some of the systems and processes, I do feel it is a good time to let the engine and the team work on their own," he added. Thukral's next move is unclear at the moment. "For now, I aim to focus a bit more on my running, health, and family... One should never stop learning, so will update on the next move which will help me learn more and do new and different things," he said.
