Meta India on Wednesday apologised for CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s remarks during a podcast that the incumbent government in India lost power in the 2024 elections, and termed it an “inadvertent error”.

Taking to X, Meta India’s Vice President Shivnath Thukral wrote: “Dear Honourable Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw, Mark’s observation that many incumbent parties were not re-elected in 2024 elections holds true for several countries, BUT not India.”

“We would like to apologise for this inadvertent error. India remains an incredibly important country for @Meta and we look forward to being at the heart of its innovative future,” he further said.
