Facebook has become the number one social networking site in India, toppling Google-owned Orkut in one of the few markets the site had held a leadership position.
In March, Facebook announced it would open its first office in India in the southern IT hub of Hyderabad.
Seventy percent of Facebook's users are from outside the United States and the site is now available in more than 70 languages
Facebook had 20.9 million unique users in July, almost three times more than in the same month last year, while Orkut had 19.9 million, according to comScore.
Facebook is seeing a consistent growth and increasing its traffic at 7-8 per cent a month. Orkut is stagnant and dying a natural death. Both Facebook and Twitter are collectively growing at 7-8 per cent in India
