India had less than 100M people on the internet when I started as employee #1 for Facebook in 2010. I had to do hiring calls with the candidate’s parents to assure them that Facebook is a real company, and people do real work at Facebook! Today, about a decade later, India has over 600M people on the Internet. Facebook has grown from being a big blue app to being a collection of products and services – Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus and more – that touch the lives of over 2.9B people globally and crossed a market cap of $1T. Facebook India revenue has crossed $1B.

This is a ringside seat to learn from the first six years of the Facebook India journey, the building of one of Facebook’s global operations offices to serve billions of people and the first several $100Ms of revenue. There were uncertainties and challenges at every major inflection point. The book covers reflections, takeaways and actionable insights – often learned the hard way. Hundreds of millions of people touched. Communities, businesses, entertainment, media, entrepreneurship and so much more transformed. 

Join me as I share learnings to enable the next generation to dream big, put people at the center and create high-growth, sustainable businesses — aka opportunity engines. Note: A special call-out to the next generation of women leaders! A call-out also to professionals across the globe who work with teams in India and in high-growth emerging markets to tap into new talent pools, take advantage of time zone differences to enable efficient 27/4 global operations and accelerate market growth.
