    Rishi Jaitly, who led Twitter’s rapid expansion into India, and now Vice President – Asia Pacific and Middle East North Africa is moving on from the leading digital organisation.

    Confirming the development, a Twitter India spokesperson said: “We thank Rishi Jaitley for his contributions, entrepreneurship and leadership over the past four years at Twitter. He was our first person on the ground to bring Twitter into the high-growth Indian market… he has created bold, strategic partnerships to enter and grow new markets for Twitter and has successfully built up our media partnerships teams across the Asia Pacific and Middle East. He led our efforts to make Twitter the national zeitgeist for millions of users across the Asia Pacific and Middle East, as well as the place that TV and media organisations, government agencies, sports bodies, entertainment companies and influencers go to publish their content first and engage with their audience every day, including Twitter’s first international livestreaming deal for the Melbourne Cup in Australia.”
    Jaitly will continue with the organisation till later this month, added the spokesperson. “There will be a smooth transition as his last day is in late November after which he will move back to the US, but will remain engaged in India, as he pursues new opportunities to harness the power of technology and scale of mass media to empower voices, particularly in emerging markets.

    Earlier today, Jaitly informed the fraternity of the news via his Twitter handle @rjaitly:

    Today, after 4 years of user/business momentum in India & the region, I’m sharing my intention to move on to new opportunities, same mission
