Meta’s also investing $900 million into Cred, Shah’s own fintech startup. This big move, and the leadership change, show just how much India matters to Meta’s bigger plans. WhatsApp’s moving into a new era, with a focus on business tools, artificial intelligence, and getting people more involved with the platform.
