This is Dorsey’s first visit to India. And after he got here, his first stop led him straight to the Buddhist spiritual leader, Dalai Lama, whom he talked to and hailed as “an amazing teacher”. This was followed by his visit to Jaipur.
Thank you @DalaiLama. You’re an amazing teacher.

Besides the launch of a “youth initiative”, there isn’t much that we know about Dorsey’s visit to the country. However, considering that despite a thriving smartphone market and cheap internet plans in India, Twitter isn’t exactly as popular here as it would hope, the company may also be looking to strengthen its management team in India.
