Meta has named Amit Jain as the new Head of Public Policy for India, tasking him with steering the company’s policy strategy and stakeholder engagements in the country’s booming digital landscape.
Amit Jain joins Meta early next year and will report to Simon Milner, Vice President of Policy for Asia Pacific, while serving on the India leadership team. With over 20 years in public policy and business strategy, his career spans senior roles at Amazon, Google, the Government of India, and international organizations.
Most recently as Director of Public Policy at Amazon, Amit Jain led strategies on marketplace, operations, competition, and technology issues. Previously at Google India, he was Country Head for Government Affairs & Public Policy.
“India is a strategic market for Meta. As the country’s digital economy accelerates across areas such as AI, emerging tech and the creator economy, Meta aims to help build a more inclusive, trusted, and future-ready internet ecosystem for India,” said Simon Milner.
Milner added that Amit Jain’s deep experience “will help Meta be an even more effective partner to regulators and industry stakeholders in developing an enabling policy environment. He will also be a strong addition to Meta’s APAC Policy leadership team.”
