  Neeraj Arora  joined WhatsApp in 2011 starting with 10 employees.He is  a special recruit for

  his corporate development  at Google

   

  Messages  are the costliest form of data transfer and his business role was to  travel  varrious

  geographies to connect with phone firms to negotiate SMS rates (users get an SMS after

  downloading WhatsApp; 450 million users means 450 million SMSs gathered in a sum total amount) and striking distribution

  arrangements and partnerships with them. He is the main coordinator for all kinds of busniess

  development in WhatsApp . He graduated from  Indian School of Business, where he earned a

  management degree.

   

   

  From  Google to WhatsApp, Arora has had an uncanny ability to identify opportunities.He is

  well-connected and this has helped him move up the ladder. He's also very unassuming and

  down-to-earth.

   

   Arora, the vice-president for business development, is likely to be a very prosperous man

  indeed after Facebook buys Whatsapp for 19 billion dollar .
