India's 4G Revolution
Share
Shaan tells a story about India's recent digital transformation due to widespread access to cheap internet.
"It's a humongous market that has just had those inflection points. Basically a billion people all got mobile phones with internet in the last couple years. That's just a dramatic before and after.
Serving that market and building solutions for that market is really awesome. Now is a golden cohort of companies because they're all riding the back of this thing where one company basically gave away 4G internet at a dirt cheap cost - cheaper than in America. So a lot of people got online."
The story explains how one company's decision to provide extremely affordable 4G internet access led to mass digital adoption across India, creating opportunities for new companies to serve this newly connected market.
