Zuckerberg-Modi meeting to focus on Internet connectivity in India



Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is on a two day visit to India and

will meet PM Narendra Modi tomorrow to discuss the role that 

Facebook can play in improving Internet connectivity and e-

governance in the country. Considering that India is only second to 

the US in terms of demanding user information from Facebook, 

perhaps Zuckerberg will also bring that up at the private meeting.

Zuckerberg is currently in India for the Internet.org summit which 

will see discussions on how to increase Internet penetration in 

developing countries with a focus on rural outreach and 

affordability.

Back in July, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg also visited India 

and met with Ravi Prasad Shankar, the IT and Communications 

Minister to discuss a partnership to facilitate education, healthcare 

and creativity among Indian youth.
