Days after Twitter India Head Rishi Jaitly announced his resignation, Parminder Singh, Twitter’s Managing Director for Southeast Asia, MENA and India, quit the micro-blogging site after a 3-year stint. He disclosed his move in a series of tweets earlier today.

Singh said that the India & Southeast East Asia region will now be managed by Maya Hari who currently works as Senior director, Product Strategy & Sales for the Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa regions.
In terms of management, the INSEA/MENA region will now be split with MENA aligned to EMEA and INSEA aligned to APAC region for Twitter, he said. While INSEA stands for India, South East Asia, MENA stands for the Middle East and North region. EMEA stands for Europe, Middle East and Africa, and APAC stands for the Asia Pacific region.
The INSEA/MENA region is now split with MENA aligned to EMEA and INSEA aligned to APAC region. Right time for me to step back.
