Meta considers India a "priority market" with enormous potential due to its economic growth, digital infrastructure, and the popularity of its apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, according to Sandhya Devanathan, the India head of the social media giant. She emphasized that Meta welcomes constructive regulations and noted that India's Digital Personal Data Protection legislation provides a framework for tech companies to operate while balancing user protection with innovation. With a strong user growth trajectory and a large user base, India offers limitless possibilities for Meta, making it one of its most engaged markets in short-form videos and small businesses using its platforms and tools. India tightens social media rules to increase accountability to users, emphasizing safety and trust as public policy objectives and ensuring suitable safeguards are in place for digital citizens.
