WhatsApp Global Head Will Cathcart will visit India this week and is expected to meet officials from the information technology ministry and the Reserve Bank of India apart from other stakeholders.
This will be Cathcart's first visit to India after taking over the role in March this year. India is among the biggest markets for WhatsApp with over 200 million users.
According to sources, Cathcart will meet partners and key stakeholders during his visit. He is expected to meet officials from the IT ministry and the RBI as well during his visit in Delhi and Mumbai.
Cathcart, who previously worked with Facebook and took over the role at WhatsApp from Chris Daniels, is scheduled to be present at an event around technology enabling digital inclusion with Niti Aayog Chief Executive Officer Amitabh Kant on July 25.
When contacted, a WhatsApp spokesperson said, "While in India, Cathcart will be meeting with leaders to discuss WhatsApp's support for Digital India and how WhatsApp helps entrepreneurs and small businesses drive economic growth."
