Facebook brings Facebook at Work to India



Facebook has rolled out its enterprise offering -- Facebook at Work -- in India that will allow employees of an organisation to collaborate and connect with co-workers.

The programme -- at its beta stage -- has seen firms like L&T Infotech, Telenor, RBS, YES Bank, Godrej Industries, Paytm, Zomato and Delhivery coming on board.

Similar to Facebook, the enterprise offering allows users to connect with their colleagues, see newsfeed, comment and share posts, create groups and chat using Work Chat.


However, users cannot use their personal accounts to log in and the access is managed by the organisation.

So, if an employee leaves an organisation, the login ceases to work and hence, the corporate data stay safe.

Facebook at Work also has no ads or games. Facebook charges a fee based on number of monthly active users.

"At Facebook, our mission is to make the world more open and connected, and this is also true in the workplace. In a mobile-first world, we want to help people find simpler ways to collaborate and connect with co-workers," Facebook at Work Director Julien Codorniou said.

Facebook at Work is not a social networking solution, but a productivity solution, he added.
