Archana Gulati, Google India policy head resigns
By MYBRANDBOOK
Head of Government Affairs and Public Policy for Google India, Archana Gulati, has reportedly left her position for an unspecified reason, just five months after joining. Gulati, an economist with a Ph.D. from IIT-Delhi, served as Joint Secretary (Digital Communications) at NITI Aayog, a government think tank that advises the Union government on policy, before she joined Google India.
As per sources, Gulati has stepped down from her position in Google India.
The resignation comes amid a series of antitrust cases that Google is facing in India and stricter tech-sector regulations.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI), where Gulati had previously worked, is looking into Google’s business conduct in the smart TVs market, its Android operating system, as well as its in-app payments system.
At NITI Aayog, Gulati looked after digital communications policy matters from August 2019 to March 2021, before she took voluntary retirement.
For a year she freelanced and joined Google in May this year.
She was an officer on special duty in the telecom secretary’s office from May 2017 to August 2019, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Gulati also spearheaded the combinations division at the Competition Commission of India and advised the Commission on competition issues arising from mergers and acquisitions.
Gulati was a Joint Administrator in the finance division at the Telecom Ministry’s Universal Services Obligation Fund of India between May 2007 to February 2012, where she looked after financial aspects of the design and implementation of USOF schemes as well as subsidy disbursement.
