India’s growth is found tremendous due to the Indian government’s motivation for internet penetration through bringing in the various digital programs in the country.
Reasons for the internet growth in India
- Digitalization of India (Digital India program)
- Private sector initiatives such as:
- Google wi-fi at 400 railway stations,
- Vodafone’s SuperWi-fi

These brought down the internet subscriptions cost, which made the growth of internet users in India.
