Text of PMs remarks at the Townhall Q&A with Mark Zuckerberg at the Facebook Headquarters Mr. Mark Zuckerberg:Prime Minister Modi, its an honour to welcome you to Facebook. And thank you to everyone here in Hacker Square, and in our community watching us live in India and around the world. You know, India is personally very important to the history of our company here. This is a story that I havent told publically and very few people know, but early on in our history - before things were really going well and we had hit a tough patch and a lot of people wanted to buy Facebook and thought we should sell the company I went and I saw one of my mentors, Steve Jobs. And he told me that in order to reconnect with what I believed as the mission of the company, I should visit this temple that he had gone to in India early on in his evolution of thinking about what he wanted Apple and his vision of the future to be. And so I went and I travelled for almost a month, and seeing the people, seeing how people connected, and having the opportunity to feel how much better the world could be if everyone had a stronger ability to connect, reinforced for me the importance of what we were doing. And that is something that Ive always remembered over the last 10 years as weve built Facebook. We had a great conversation last year, in Delhi. And I am looking forward to having a conversation with you and our entire community about how you see the future of India and the world. When I think about the future, Im personally excited about India for a number of reasons. First, one the greatest opportunities we have in the world today, is to connect everyone to the Internet. The internet provides access, not only to entertainment and communication, but also vital information about health, education, and jobs. In fact, for every 10 people who gain access to the internet, about one person gets lifted out of poverty, and about one new job gets created. Now, theres still a billion people in India who we need to connect to the internet. And connecting them represents one of the greatest opportunities available to humanity today. So I am deeply appreciative of Prime Minister Modis commitment to Digital India, to make this enormous opportunity a reality for all Indians, and I am personally also impressed by the example Prime Minister Modi has set of using the internet and social media to communicate directly with Indian citizens. Whether spreading messages of peace, or campaigning for womens rights, of childrens development, or Digital India, its fitting that the leader of the worlds largest democracy is also setting the example for all world leaders for how they should connect with their citizens in the future. When everyone can make their voices heard online, thats when we can have meaningful conversations about the future. And thats how society can come together and achieve the shared goals. So, the last time that a Prime Minister of India visited California was in 1982. And a lot has changed since then. Today India is a global leader, Indian businesses and culture are transforming peoples lives around the world, and for India to keep making progress, India needs to be a leader online. And, Prime Minister Modi, you are an example of what that looks like. So Im excited to hear today about how you see these goals, and why the world should be optimistic about the future of India. Thank you and welcome to Facebook.

Mr. Mark Zuckerberg: All right, so we have the first question from the thread. Weve received about 40,00 comments and questions on our Facebook post about this town hall. Thats pretty incredible engagement! And several people have flown in today to ask their questions. But before we call them up, Im actually going to start with one for you. You were one of the early adopters of the internet and social media and Facebook. Did you, at the point, think that social media and the internet would become an important tool for governing and citizen engagement and policy?

Mr. Mark Zuckerberg: One of the reasons why so many of us here at Facebook admire your leadership so much, is that we deeply agree, in our mission, with so much of what you just said. So, thank you for that. Our next question is from Veer Kashyap. Veer, why dont you tell us where youre from? Mr. Veer Kashyap: Morning, Prime Minister Modi, and Mark. Thanks for having us here. I live in Bangalore right now, and I moved to India 8 years ago, and co-founded my company because I saw great promise in being able to impact Indias Digital revolution, and enable millions of people throughout the country to get better jobs using the internet. I always felt that much like governments in the past had to invest in physical infrastructure, in this day and age, one of the main roles governments should be playing is to build digital infrastructure which will allow its citizens to get connected and be productive citizens of the global society. So, Prime Minister, my question to you is, what investments is your government going to make to enable the next 800 million to a billion people in India to get connected?

Mr. TS Khurana: Well, I was born in India but we immigrated to the US in 1971. I learnt my English on the streets of Kentucky. Prime Minister, welcome to our campus and Mark, thank you for hosting us on this fine Sunday morning. My question for the Prime Minister is, do you think its become easier, in the last 15 months, to do business in India or not? You introduced a programme called Make in India to cut red tape. But there is a perception that the pace of reform is slow. Do you think that Make in India will ultimately be successful?
