Nikhil Gandhi quits TikTok

Nikhil Gandhi, TikTok's head in Middle East, Africa, Turkey and South Asia has quit the ByteDance-owned video platform.

According to the media reports, Gandhi is currently serving his notice period.

Byte Dance-owned short video platform TikTok had shut down its business in India following the government's recent directive to extend the ban on Chinese apps.

Before getting redesignated as TikTok Head in ME, Africa, Turkey & SA, he was working as TikTok head of India where he was responsible for  development of TikTok's products and operations, setting a gold standard for all homegrown short-video apps that followed. His primary focus was on strengthening TikTok's presence in the country and adding value to India's growing digital community.

Prior to this, Gandhi was associated with Times Network as President & COO, and also worked with The Walt Disney Company as the Vice President for more than 9 years.
