According to the report, 71% of the online population is contributed by the gentlemen while it is 29% for the ladies. The male growth rate is 54%, while the female online population has been growing at the rate of 46%, a nice figure indeed.
It is interesting to know that, it took a span of almost 10 years for the Indian online population to jump from 10 million to 100 million, then 3 years for the next 200 million, and only one year to reach 400 million from 300 million. Seems like people have taken the Digital India campaign very seriously.
The low-cost entry-level smartphones are only to be credited for the
enormous internet penetration observed in the last five years, as not
much of the Indian population has access to a computer or an internet
connected device. Clearly, the tech giants around the world have begun
to shift their focus to the Indian market, as there is that vast
potential lying under the Indian soil.
India is trying to pace up with the world, in fact, they’ve outperformed everyone’s expectation all around the world. But the smartphone boom does have its part in the whole lot of online population. Also, the startup fever is also on its peak, and there is a vast scope for all those newbie startups to generate a huge amount of revenue from this Internet ecosystem building inside the India Inc.
