Facebook at Work launched in India; aims to simplify collaboration between co-workers

Facebook has announced that it is rolling out Facebook at Work in India. The company says that with the initiative, they wish to carry their endeavour to make the world more open and connected in to the workplace too. Facebook aims to make workplaces more productive by enabling simpler ways to collaborate and connect with co-workers.The company shared that several companies in India such as L&T Infotech, YES Bank, Godrej Industries and businesses like Delhivery and Zomato, have started using Facebook at Work with employees as well. India is one of Facebook at Work's top countries and its teams will start testing the solution with more companies.Facebook at Work was developed as a mobile-first solution. And the company thinks this will resonate well in India, where more than 142 million people are already on Facebook, and almost 90 percent come back on mobile. "People understand how to use features like the News Feed, Groups, Messages, and Events. However, while it's a similar experience, Facebook at Work is separate from a personal account. In a completely secure way only coworkers within a company, from the CEO to the retail store employee, can see information posted on Facebook at Work," shares Facebook in a statement.“Rolling out Facebook at Work to companies in India is a significant milestone. As the workplace transforms, businesses want new ways for co-workers to collaborate effectively and be more productive. We are excited at the high rate of adoption globally and I look forward to working with all businesses in India,” stated Julien Codorniou, Director of Facebook at Work
