Rajan Anandan, former MD of Microsoft India, will now lead the business of Google in the country, the search engine giant said today. Anandan has joined Google as vice-president of its India sales and operations.
Anandan replaces Shailesh Rao, who had two roles, that of MD and head of sales for India, and MD, media and platform sales, Japan & Asia-Pacific.
