Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg latest tech CEO to visit India

SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will visit India next week.

Zuckerberg will be in New Delhi to keynote a summit of Internet.org, which is working to make the Internet more accessible and affordable to people in developing countries.

He will also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and members of some ministries.

In July, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg visited India, Facebook's second largest market. She also met with Modi, who used social media during his election campaign and now in governing.

Facebook has more than 100 million users in India, many of whom access the service from mobile devices.

Silicon Valley is converging on India, the second most populous country.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Microsoft's Satya Nadella visited India in just the last few days.

Sundar Pichai, the Google executive who oversees Android, Chrome and Google Apps, paid a visit to India in September to unveil new low-cost smartphones for the Indian market to capitalize on the shift to the mobile Internet.

"We expect India to be the second-largest Internet market by 2017," Pichai said at the announcement in New Delhi, according to Bloomberg News. "And it's happening due to mobile."
