Meta’s WhatsApp to be led by Indian startup founder Kunal Shah

Kunal Shah, the founder of Cred, has been appointed as the Global CEO of Meta’s WhatsApp. To assume this leadership position, Shah will step away from his current operating role as the chief executive at Cred. Despite this transition to lead the messaging platform, he will retain his personal shareholding in Cred. This strategic move places the Indian startup founder at the helm of WhatsApp's global operations and overall management strategy.
