Kunal Shah, the founder of Indian fintech firm CRED, has been appointed as the new head of the Meta-owned social messaging app WhatsApp. 

The app’s incumbent head Will Cathcart confirmed the matter on Monday in an X post.

The announcement comes after CRED announced ⁠it will raise about $900 million ⁠from Meta.

Meta Platforms has invested $900 million in CRED as part of the startup’s Series H funding round. 

As part of the same deal, Kunal has been appointed the new head of WhatsApp, succeeding Will, who has led the messaging platform for seven years.
