Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will take questions from the Facebook community and a live audience at a townhall at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi later this month.

Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook post, wherein he announced to be hosting his next townhall in Delhi on October 28, "More than 130 million people use Facebook in India. I'm looking forward to hearing from one of our most active and engaged communities."

Zuckerberg will also meet with partners, developers and others who are building new digital services and working on ways to connect more people to them.

This follows a month after Zuckerberg hosted Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a similar townhall session at the company's headquarters during Modi's visit to Silicon Valley.
