Dhruv Chadha Bids Farewell to Meta After 13.5 Years
MUMBAI: What do you say about an executive who has spent his entire working career with one company and has seen it grow from a $5 billion venture to $100 billion?
Well, you say salaam Dhruv Chadha!
The senior regional business leader at Meta, has finally decided to say ta-ta to Meta after almost 14 years (13.5 years to be precise) of service. Based in Singapore, his last day at the company will be 31 January 2025.
During his tenure, Chadha played a pivotal role in driving Meta’s growth across emerging markets in Asia through strategic sales and innovative go-to-market strategies. He worked extensively on delivering industry-first solutions and guiding key industry clients to navigate the evolving digital landscape.
Reflecting on his journey, Chadha expressed gratitude for the opportunities offered by Meta’s leadership and highlighted the company’s exponential revenue growth from $5 billion in 2011 to over $100 billion within a decade. “It’s been a journey of a lifetime, collaborating to solve unique challenges—from reaching customers in the deepest parts of emerging Asia through feature phones to enabling digital-first businesses to build purchase journeys on WhatsApp,” he shared.
Chadha also credited mentors and colleagues, including Kirthiga Reddy, Reynold D’Silva, and Jordi Fornies, for their support throughout his journey.
Looking ahead, Chadha indicated plans to explore the tech and advertising industry from a new perspective, promising further updates soon.
In addition to his role at Meta, Chadha has served as an early-stage investor in Nanoclean Global, a startup recognised by the South Korean government as one of the top 25 technical startups globally and awarded India’s President’s Startup of the Year.
