New Delhi: Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, who began his two-day visit to India today, said that he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow.
His visit comes three months (July, 2014) after the visit of Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of the social networking giant, to the country, which is the second biggest market for Facebook.
During her visit Sandberg met IT and Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and said: "Facebook has a very powerful presence in India, next only to US. There is enormous scope for expansion of Facebook, which is already a very popular platform in India. There is a need to work together in the field of education, in the field of health and other creative exposures."
She also met PM Modi during her visit.
Young billionaire Zuckerberg 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 last couple of weeks.
