Google Taps Nitin Gajria to Lead Southeast Asia and South Asia Frontier Markets

Nitin Gajria has been appointed Managing Director for Southeast Asia and South Asia Frontier Markets at Google. In this role, he will oversee regional business strategy and work across markets to support digitalisation, partnerships, and AI-led growth.

Gajria returns to Southeast Asia after three years leading Google's publisher and creator monetization business in the Asia Pacific region. He described the move as a 'full-circle moment', given that his Google journey began in Southeast Asia 12.5 years ago.

Gajria has held several senior positions at Google, including Managing Director for Sub-Saharan Africa and Country Director for Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. His experience covers regional business leadership, partnerships, monetization, and market development across different geographies.
