Internet and E-Commerce in India

Being the data junkie that I am, I'm extremely thrilled with the Internet and Mobile Association of India's (IAMAI) reports on the state of Internet in india. It is an exteemely useful website filled with reports and events on the internet and mobile scene in India

The report also gives more facts and figures for internet penetration in Non metros and the pattern of internet usage.



The Ecommerce report too is pretty fascinating, considering companies in India are struggling to get their E-commerce acts together due to strict funds transfer policy in India. It offers a great insight on industry size, existing barriers for further growth and improvements needed.
