Instagram’s Adam Mosseri on India setting global benchmarks in social media habits

Addressing how Instagram ranks content types, Mosseri emphasized, “We don’t try to boost one type of content or suppress another. But we do observe trends—video, particularly short-form, is generally more engaging than static photos. It gets more likes, shares, and watch time. So on average, it ranks higher. That said, for some creators, static content performs better. Instagram is a diverse ecosystem—there’s room for everything from reels to poetry pages.”

At WAVES 2025, Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, revealed, “India’s diversity in language and culture is reflected in its content. The country has led in areas like subtitle translation and audio dubbing. There’s a lot the world can learn from how India bridges linguistic and cultural gaps across states and languages.”

Hailing India's global presence, Nita Ambani shared, "For centuries, India has gifted the world its wisdom, its beauty, and its soul. Somewhere along the way, our voice softened. But now, it is rising again. And for that, we owe deep gratitude to our Prime Minister Modi Ji, whose unwavering vision and leadership have reignited India’s voice on the world stage with pride and purpose."

At WAVES 2025, Reliance Foundation Founder-Chairperson Nita Ambani said, “Let our Amar Chitra Kathas be the next Harry Potters. Let our epics – Ramayana and Mahabharata – light up the silver screens of the world. Let our stories inspire generations to come.”

In diversity push, DEI leaders can earn Rs50 lakh. But is it all just for show?

While DEI hiring in India has gained momentum in many Indian startups and non-MNCs, DEI roles are underpaid and undervalued, with these functions frequently siloed, lacking real institutional support, or reduced to performative commitments.

NCLAT allows Google to redact confidential data from play store billing judgment

Advertisers that used Google’s ad services between 2011 and now could be eligible for damages, potentially rewriting the rules for how digital ad giants operate in competitive markets.

The NCLAT’s decision follows its partial upholding last month of the Competition Commission of India (CCI)’s findings that Google had abused its dominant position through its Play Store billing policies.
