Three quit Samsung India’s public policy team in a week

Three public policy executives of the India team of Samsung Electronics have resigned, sources told Reuters on Tuesday, in simultaneous departures as the country’s biggest smartphone player faces several regulatory headaches.

Public policy teams have increasingly critical roles in companies efforts to balance regulatory issues as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has boosted domestic electronics manufacturing while backing tougher regulations on tech firms.

Binu George, who looked at corporate affairs and strategy, Surabhi Pant who worked on policy and public affairs, and Nikhil Kaura from the same team quit last week, two sources said.

They were part of a seven-member team headed by Rajiv Aggarwal, a former bureaucrat who, before joining Samsung in December, led public policy at Meta META.O and Uber in India. Nasdaq
