From building CRED in Bengaluru to leading WhatsApp for the world. 🌍
Meta has named Kunal Shah as WhatsApp's global head, after a $900 million investment in CRED at a $4.5 billion valuation. He succeeds Will Cathcart and becomes the first Indian to lead the messaging platform used by over two billion people.
The move puts an Indian founder at the centre of global messaging, payments and AI tools. It also shows how product thinking from India's fintech boom is now shaping platforms far beyond finance.
