Swati Shetty has resigned from her role as the Director of International Original and Acquisitions at Netflix India.
Confirming the news, Netflix stated, “Yes, we can confirm that Swati Shetty has decided to leave Netflix.”
Shetty was based in LA and was asked to shift to Mumbai as the American streaming service was planning to boost their presence in India.

In India, Netflix is planning to strengthen its hold with the launch of new original productions and acquisitions. Recently at an event, Shetty had announced a seven-film slate for 2019.
