Bangalore: The number of internet users in India is likely to touch 237 million by 2015, which currently stands at 81 million, said a report by Boston Consulting Group. Although only 1 percent of mobile phone users are using the internet now, many Indians will first go online from a phone, the report further states.
According to Arvind Subramanian, Managing Director, BCG Mumbai, India is going to be different than what we have seen in mature markets but also in emerging markets. Its going to be predominantly a mobile experience.
Indians are more interested in services that enhance personal productivity like job alerts or continuing education, said Subramanian. According to the research, about 73 percent of people who go online in India spend time job hunting.
