He wrote, “Today was my last day at Whatsapp Pay, and as I sign off. I can proudly say that the scaling and the Influence of Whatsapp in India have been a great experience. The last year personally has been a great learning journey and the excitement of being frontline and launching some global first payments use cases such as “QR Tickets for Bangalore Metro on WhatsApp” was unmatched. I am humbled to see the customer adoption of novel uses of the Whatsapp app today that they can use to make bank payments. I will now wear these badges proudly for the rest of my life”
