Facebook co-founder Zuckerberg to meet PM Modi
New Delhi, Oct 9 (IBNS): Social networking giant Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg is likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his two-day visit to India beginning Thursday, media reports said.
India is the second biggest market for Facebook, after the US.
Zuckerberg will be in Delhi to attend the two-day Internet.org Summit, on October 9-10. The conference is aimed at making internet access affordable for people those who do not have it globally.
The Facebook co-founder will be the third high profile honcho of a US-based tech firm, after Satya Nadella of Microsoft and Jeff Bezos of Amazon, to visit India in the recent past.
Earlier, Facebook’s chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg had visited India in July this year and met PM Modi and IT and Communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
She had said that there was enormous scope for expansion of Facebook in India, especially in the fields of education, health and other creative exposures.
