India has the world's largest number of Facebook users at 400 million, more than the entire population of the U.S. And Sandhya Devanathan, Meta's vice president for India, is responsible for them. Meta considers India a key growth market, as consumers flock to services like Instagram Reels. Devanathan took over the division in early 2023, after leading the Asia-Pacific gaming division. She worked in banking before joining the tech giant in 2016.
