In a statement to MediaNama, Twitter said Maheshwari will be based out of Delhi and will oversee Twitter India's teams in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. He will start on April 29th and will report to Hari. He will work on audience engagement, partnerships with brands, agencies, and publishers. He's taking over the role from Balaji Krish who has been leading the Twitter India team in the interim for the past few months.
