Decoding India’s Digital Consumer
Among global turmoil, India is probably the best place to be in – What say?
Woh time lovely information and its 100% true that internet is booming like anything.
Oh, Mind-boggling figures…With this presentation, it would be clear why foreign companies are eager to set foot in India.
Of these people who are hooked on to Internet & Gprs through Mobiles, 80% would be below 30yrs.
It has to be seen how the current & future governments at centre would make use of them in creating policies for employment, job creation etc.,If not managed properly, there are many others ready to take up the space leaving the local businesses at risk!
