How IT minister Chandrasekhar ‘warned’ Zoom CEO Yuan on using wrong map of India

The minister of state for electronics and information technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar cautioned video calling company Zoom’s founder and chief executive officer Eric Yuan recently. The reason: Yuan had used the wrong map of India on Twitter. The tweet shared by Yuan showed top video calling platforms in each country across the world. The video had a distorted map of India in which the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir was not shown. The tweet drew sharp criticism from Chandrasekhar and several others.

Tagging Yuan, the minister wrote that the CEO needs to be careful of the map he uses. “you may want to make sure u use correct maps of the countries u do/want to do business in @ericsyuan,” Chandrasekhar said in a tweet, quoting the tweet sent out by Zoom CEO Yuan.
