Google policy head Archana Gulati resigns

Archana Gulati, Google India’s policy head, has given resignation five months after assuming the new role. The development assumes significance in the midst of Google awaiting the results of two antitrust cases against it.
Gulati earlier worked at Niti Aayog as a joint secretary for digital communications. Google’s business ops in the android operating system, the smart TVs market, and in-app payments system have come under scanner of the authorities. The decision for nearly two anti-trust cases against Google will be announced soon.
Gulati was in charge of leading a team of public policy executives, overseeing various regulatory inferences for one of its major growth markets in India. Previously within the years 2014 and 2016, she served the Competition Commission of India, in its Mergers & Acquisitions division. Big tech companies facing stricter data and privacy regulations have of late hired many Indian government officials.
