"We thank Taran for nearly four years of contributions and leadership to Twitter India. He built up our India sales team across the country and, most recently as our India country director, he led our cross-functional effort that has made India both one of our largest and fastest growing markets today," the spokesperson added.

Under Singh's leadership, Twitter has seen strong business performance, a diversified client base and many innovations for Twitter across the country.
