Aman Jain has been appointed as the new Head of Public Policy for Meta India, effective early 2026. He will report to Simon Milner, Meta's Asia Pacific Policy VP. Jain succeeds Shivnath Thukral in this role.

The appointment comes at a crucial time as India continues to be a key market for Meta, and the company navigates a complex regulatory landscape. As the Head of Public Policy, Jain will be responsible for leading Meta's policy initiatives in India, working with government, civil society, and other stakeholders. His role will involve shaping Meta's approach to critical issues such as data privacy, content regulation, and misinformation, aligning the company's objectives with India's policy priorities.

While specific details about Jain's professional background remain limited in the immediate news coverage, a search indicates that an individual named Aman Jain previously held the position of Head of Government Affairs & Public Policy, India at Google. It is important to confirm if this is the same individual taking on the role at Meta India. If so, this background suggests he brings significant experience in navigating the Indian policy landscape for major technology companies. His previous role at Google, as highlighted in a 2021 YouTube video, involved partnering with MyGov India to ensure the delivery of the right information to citizens. He has also been a Quora user.

Meta's continued investment in its public policy leadership in India underscores the importance of this market to the company's global strategy. Jain's appointment reflects Meta's commitment to engaging with the Indian government and contributing to the ongoing dialogue around technology policy and regulation.
