The Internet In India 2011

The Internet In India 2011:
In the course of routine trawling, found this interesting report – Internet in India 2011, published by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI).

• There are currently 112 million Internet users (88 million urban dwellers, and 24 million more from rural villages) in India, out of which 90 million are active users;
• 240 million Indians accessed the Internet on their mobile phones last year;
• 20 million Indians look for job openings on the Internet every month;
• 54 million Indians check online reviews for the products they wish to purchase, out of which 15 million do so only on social media sites;
• Young users continue to drive Internet usage in India;
• Internet usage in smaller towns continues to dominate over the top eight cities, with a combined usage of more than 60%.

There are some bits about internet usage in India that I hadn’t imagined would be so. Worth a read.
