He may have built the world's biggest social network, but as a personality he looked anything but social. If anything, quite the opposite. Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, appeared every bit a shy, curly-haired geek when he, clad in a gray T-shirt and jeans, ambled up to the stage to talk to a restless, mostly star-struck audience assembled to hear the 30-year-old billionaire on his first ever business trip to India.
Connectivity cannot be the privilege of the rich, says Mark Zuckerberg
In India, he said, the impact will be even more profound "because you have some of the best engineers in the world and a vibrant technology industry". On Friday, he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an avid user of Facebook who exploited its networking and communicative abilities to the hilt during his successful election campaign and has also sought to make it an integral part of his administration. Modi's verified Facebook page currently has nearly 2.3 crore "likes" or followers, and almost all major government departments and ministries have Facebook pages.
