Ask me Anything about Meta in India
On my way out :)
Part of the Partnerships Team at Meta - worked with bunch of partners to drive product adoption and engagement.
How’s the overall growth now? Given that you’ve already penetrated enough in india. Are you guys bullish about anything anymore?
And what’s with privacy campaign of WhatsApp? I don’t think users care that much. Given how poor the adoption of Signal is.

The privacy campaign is targeted more towards key opinion formers like the govt, tech journalists. There is pressure on WhatsApp to break end to end encryption by the govt and this campaign is trying to evade that I think..
+1 to my Google friend. IN consumers at large don’t give a damm. Just to add its also to align with the global narrative and the on going master campaign. Check this out : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vT0QRd937KM

So.
Does anyone do any actual work at meta india?
Is the work at all interesting?
Do you all have to use Horizons? Does anyone beleive it will actually work?
Haaha! Bunch of smart and hardworking folks for sure but the prevailing lack of clarity has been very stressful and de-energising.
On headsets and Horizon workrooms - globally folks do use it sporadically and of course the prod really needs to evolve.
For IN, the device access itself is a big bottleneck. Officially, they don’t retail in the country while you can get it from AZ etc.

Any plans to open a software development centre in India?
Aah! Has been an ask from India for quite a while but not happening in the short to medium term for sure plus given the on going chaos it’s next to impossible.
At the core we’ve three team :
1. GMS or Ads : Core of the engine - here you’ve account managers and client partners tied to verticals.
2. Partnerships: This has all the partnerships : Entertainment, IG, Creators, News, Telcos, Platform and Social Impact.
3. The emerging business- Business messaging (WA) : kinda sales heavy
All this supported by Policy, Comms and Marketing

Why are you leaving? Is there any layoff possibility in India? Also should I take contract (contingent worker) role in current situation at meta?
I’d hit a roof in my learning and career progression. The looming uncertainty has been also been another letdown.
For your specific role, if you’re ok - feel free to dm and we can chat more 1-1 since it’s kinda team dependent. That said there’re quite a few cons of CW role - hope they’re known to you.

Does meta have profiles in data governance roles? Is it a priority for meta?
Not exactly- we’ve folks on Public Policy side who double hat this more from a regulatory and compliance pov
How does the partnership team hire? I see a lot of folks getting roles in IG partnerships, Creator Partnerships and so on.
Are PMs hired to go ahead with such roles? Or need marketing experience?
Yeah so depends on the partnerships vertical ex. For Entertainment- gigs at media houses help etc. Anyways don’t see any foreseeable hiring in 23
Don’t think any Pming exp is required directly but yeah you be cajoling them all the time to grab their mind share

With GMS team Structured in a lean way, What's the scope for them expanding the team in future?
Yeah this one’s a wait and watch one - in particular now trust we’ve a new India VP. That said no taking away from the fact that GMS would continue to be the core of our engine with maybe more pressure on the folks.
