    Google has appointed Rajan Anandan, previously managing director of Microsoft's India unit, as head of its India operations effective immediately.

    Anandan will take over from Shailesh Rao, Google said in a statement.

    Rao, who was earlier handling dual roles -- one as India operations head and the other as managing director of media and platform sales for Japan and Asia-Pacific, will now handle the latter role full-time, the company added.

    "India is an important growth country for Google," President of Google's Japan and Asia-Pacific Operations Daniel Alegre said in a statement.

    "With Internet users growing at 50% year-on-year, a strong leadership team will ensure that Google captures this tremendous opportunity," he said.
