Meta (formerly Facebook) has got its first standalone office in Asia in Gurgaon near Delhi. Ajit Mohan, Meta India’s vice president and managing director, shared the photos of the new, 1.3 lakh square feet space after it was opened last week.

Along with the office, Meta also launched its Centre for Fuelling India’s New Economy, a new centre that aims to train and skill one crore small businesses and 2.5 lakh creators over the next three years.

“We see this office in Gurugram as an opportunity for us to build a space that does not just house our largest team in the country but will also be a space that deeply engages with the world outside, one that will actively bring the communities around the country into it,” Ajit Mohan said in his social media post.

The new Meta office is designed with an open floor plan and an unfinished look, similar to the headquarters in Menlo Park in the US. The office in Gurgaon will house various teams from Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

“Whether creators or small business owners, entrepreneurs or artists, the people who drive change will find that the doors to this new office will be open to them.”
