look, having an indian founder actually makes sense given whatsapp's massive user base there. cathcart leaving just opens the door for someone who actually understands the market instead of some disconnected exec.

look meta's been bleeding talent for years, cathcart leaving just means they're finally letting someone who actually understands emerging markets run the show instead of another palo alto exec pretending to get it.

convenient timing that the western ceo steps down right as meta faces india regulatory pressure, isn't it? local leadership looks good on paper but who's really calling the shots from menlo park.

new leadership from india probably means whatsapp finally gets what it needs instead of another silicon valley guy making calls from a yacht. tried both versions and the local founder actually cares about the product working properly.
