Facebook hits 100 million India users

Wednesday, 9 April 2014


Facebook has hit more than 100 million users in India, making it only the second country after the United States to achieve the milestone, the social network company has said.
The mobile phone market was driving growth in India along with better Internet coverage across the country of 1.2 billion people, said Kevin D'Souza, Facebook India's head of growth and mobile partnerships.
"Today, we have more than 100 million people who access Facebook actively in India each month," D'Souza was quoted in local media on Wednesday as saying.
"Now, we look forward to one billion in India -- that's a different focus and challenge," Javier Olivan, who looks after global growth in Facebook, according to AFP.
