Chris Cox, chief product officer, Facebook leads the social networking giants product management, design and marketing functions globally. One of the earlier employees of the 12 year-old Facebook, Cox, 33, joined in 2005 and helped build the initial versions of key Facebook features including News Feed. Cox reports to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and this is the first time he is starting the New Year with a visit to India, where it has 138 million of the 1.5 billion users globally.
“One-third of the next one billion internet users in the world will come from India. It is an imperative for us to do a really good job of paying attention to the needs of Indian users,” says Cox in an interview with Shelley Singh. However, Cox while maintaining that to grow in India and make the platform relevant to users in India is a key mission for Facebook, declined to elaborate on Free Basics, a much criticized tool to achieve that goal.
