Former Facebook India Managing Director Umang Bedi has joined local language news and entertainment aggregator Dailyhunt as President. Bedi will report to Dailyhunt founder Virendra Gupta.

"This is a tremendous opportunity to drive scale via Dailyhunt's 'Made in India' platform. The intention is to serve the unmet, under-served needs of Indians who live in tier 2, 3, 4 cities and rural areas and provide them with personalised, relevant, meaningful experiences," Bedi said in a statement on Thursday.
