Meta Appoints Arun Srinivas as its India Head
Meta Platforms said on Monday that Arun Srinivas has been appointed as the managing director and head for Meta in India, effective July 1.
Srinivas currently heads the tech giant's India ads business, according to his LinkedIn profile.
His appointment comes at a time when Meta and Indian authorities have locked horns regarding allegations of the tech firm's anti-competitive practices in the country, Reuters reported.
In November, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) had fined the company over antitrust violations and restricted popular messaging platform WhatsApp - which Meta owns - from sharing user data with other Meta-owned applications for advertising purposes for a period of five years.
Meta had disagreed with the CCI's order and had warned of a hit to its business. It won a major relief earlier this year when an Indian tribunal temporarily suspended the five-year data sharing ban.

Pakistan plans rail link to Reko Diq by 2028 as PM sets up committee for project
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan plans to upgrade its railway infrastructure and extend the network to Reko Diq, a massive copper and gold mining project in southwestern Balochistan province, as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday instructed officials to set up an inter-ministerial committee for the project. The move aims to support future cargo and transport needs, particularly as Reko Diq, one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits, is set to begin production within three years. The mine is being developed by Barrick Gold, which holds a 50 percent stake, with the remaining share held jointly by Pakistan's federal and provincial governments. The company has projected the project will generate up to $74 billion in free cash flow over its expected 37-year lifespan. 'The Prime Minister directed that Reko Diq be connected to the railway network by 2028,' Sharif's office said in a statement circulated after the meeting. 'The Prime Minister instructed the formation of an inter-ministerial committee to explore financing options for the upgrade and expansion of the railway system.' 'The committee will present concrete proposals regarding the financing required for the development of Pakistan Railways and its extension to Reko Diq,' it added. Calling railways a 'backbone' of Pakistan's economy and communications network, the prime minister said it was an affordable, fast and environmentally friendly mode of transport. He added extending rail connectivity to Reko Diq would boost the mining and minerals sector in Balochistan and create new employment opportunities for residents in the province. The mineral-rich but underdeveloped province of Balochistan is vital to Beijing's $65 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the flagship Pakistan arm of President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative. However, while the province is viewed as vital for Pakistan's economic future, it remains marred by separatist violence, posing serious challenges to the implementation of large-scale infrastructure and mining projects. The railway network, despite being a key mode of transport for the province's widely dispersed population, has also come under threat from militant attacks. Earlier this year, armed separatists took a passenger train hostage in Balochistan, triggering a military rescue operation in which security forces said all the militants were killed.

Oil Updates — prices rise as Iran-Israel conflict keeps floor under prices
SINGAPORE: Oil prices rose on Tuesday, with analysts saying that uncertainty would keep prices elevated, even as there were no concrete signs of any production losses stemming from the Iran-Israel conflict for now. Brent crude futures climbed 54 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $73.77 a barrel as of 9:30 a.m. Saudi time. US West Texas Intermediate crude was up 58 cents, or 0.8 percent, at $72.35. Both contracts rose more than 2 percent earlier in the trading session but also notched declines before bouncing back in volatile trading. Prices traded higher as there was still risk of further unrest and potential disruption of oil supply from the key Middle East producing region. However, there were no visible signs of supply loss for now, industry sources said. The Israel-Iran conflict has not led to a loss in oil production, and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries still has spare production capacity, the chief executive of Italy's Eni said on Tuesday. Meanwhile, all the facilities of energy services firm Baker Hughes are operating normally in the Middle East, its chief executive Lorenzo Simonelli told Reuters on Monday. The benchmark oil contracts settled more than 1 percent lower on Monday amid hopes that the conflict would ease after media reports Iran was seeking an end to hostilities. However, concerns remained as US President Donald Trump in a social media post urged 'everyone' to evacuate the Iranian capital of Tehran. Entering its fifth day on Tuesday, the fighting has continued with Iranian media reporting explosions and heavy air defense fire in Tehran. In Israel, air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv in response to Iranian missiles. 'The conflict between Iran and Israel is still fresh and brewing, and investor sentiments may still be holding on to the 'war risks',' Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova, said in an email. 'Added volatility and caution ahead of the Fed policy decision are further ensuring higher-paced price reactions in oil,' Sachdeva added, referring to the US Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which guides interest rate decisions, that begins on Tuesday. Iran is the third-largest producer among members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The concern is the fighting could disrupt its oil supply and raise prices, or Iran could retaliate by blocking shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. US media on Monday night reported Trump was proposing renewed talks with Iran on a nuclear deal, even as shipping sources said a vessel collided with two other ships sailing near the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting risks to companies moving oil and fuel supplies in the region.

WhatsApp to start showing ads to users in parts of the messaging app
WhatsApp said Monday that users will start seeing ads in parts of the app, as owner Meta Platforms moves to cultivate a new revenue stream by tapping the billions of people that use the messaging service. Advertisements will be shown only in the app's Updates tab, which is used by as many as 1.5 billion people each day. However, they won't appear where personal chats are located, developers said. 'The personal messaging experience on WhatsApp isn't changing, and personal messages, calls and statuses are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be used to show ads,' WhatsApp said in a blog post. It's a big change for the company, whose founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton vowed to keep the platform free of ads when they created it in 2009. Facebook purchased WhatsApp in 2014 and the pair left a few years later. Parent company Meta Platforms Inc. has long been trying to generate revenue from WhatsApp. WhatsApp said ads will be targeted to users based on information like their age, the country or city where they're located, the language they're using, the channels they're following in the app, and how they're interacting with the ads they see. WhatsApp said it won't use personal messages, calls and groups that a user is a member of to target ads to the user. It's one of three advertising features that WhatsApp unveiled on Monday as it tries to monetize the app's user base. Channels will also be able to charge users a monthly fee for subscriptions so they can get exclusive updates. And business owners will be able to pay to promote their channel's visibility to new users. Most of Meta's revenue comes from ads. In 2025, the Menlo Park, California-based company's revenue totaled $164.5 billion and $160.6 billion of it came from advertising.
