The address from where FB is operating is the Taj Mahal hotel in New Delhi where the lowest room rent is approximately 450 USD per night. Quite interesting!

And this person has two suites at their disposal. A professional lobbyist, I suppose.

Said person is an FB employee and director of public policy for India and the region. I guess she and her staff are the only people working out of Delhi, so they took a hotel room. FB's India HQ is down south in Hyderabad.

What does that have to do with any of this?

Pointing out the expenses fb is ready to take. (450 per night is pennies to them but still. A non profit charity tries to divert all money on actual cause. )
