India 'Hugely Important' for Meta's Wearable & AI Strategy: CTO Andrew Bosworth

• Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth stated at Davos 2026 that India is a critical market for Meta's wearable and AI device strategy due to its large user base.
• Despite India being Meta's largest user market with over a billion monthly users, challenges include linguistic diversity (40+ languages) and uneven product distribution.
• Meta launched its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in India in May 2025, marking its first hardware push in the country, available on Flipkart, Amazon India, and other stores.
• The company is prototyping various AI device form factors beyond smart glasses, including pendants, pens, pins, and wrist devices, to integrate AI into daily life.
• Bosworth highlighted the importance of visual and audio information for AI, envisioning future AI devices providing superhuman hearing, vision, cognition, and memory.

Why It Matters: India is crucial for Meta's AI and wearable ambitions, despite market complexities, with smart glasses leading the hardware push.
