Meta, founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 as Facebook, has grown from a college social network into one of the world's most influential technology companies. In October 2021, the company rebranded to Meta to reflect its expanded vision beyond social media into the metaverse.
Today, Meta operates a family of apps that connect 3.2+ billion people daily: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. The company's Reality Labs division is pioneering AR/VR technology with Quest headsets and Ray-Ban smart glasses, working toward a future of immersive computing.
Meta's India presence includes offices in Gurugram, Hyderabad, and Bangalore, with thousands of engineers working on core products, ads, infrastructure, and AI. India is a strategic market (500M+ users) and a key engineering hub.
"Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together."
