About India:

2020 brought opportunities for brands to innovate, resulting in an evolving media stack. The growth of digital is set to soar due to changing consumer habits. With approximately 500 million smartphone users, low-priced data plans, 45 to 50 million e-commerce shoppers, approximately 60 OTT offerings, and a young population, India is a mobile-first internet market. It is also one of the top 10 ad spend markets in the world and is set to climb the ranks. Global big tech corporations have made considerable investments in top e-commerce/retail ventures and Indian start-ups, blurring the lines between social media, e-commerce, and mobile payments, resulting in disruption on an unimaginable scale.
