"India's decade" is a common refrain, but what's driving it? One factor is that Indians are the world's largest consumers of data per capita, with the country's data usage expected to grow by 300% over the next 4 years. #immerse macquarie.com/au/en/insights…
During a recent trip to India by CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, @Uber announced that it had signed an MoU with government-backed @ONDC_Official. ONDC could help Uber expand the range of offerings on its app — meeting more of every Indian’s daily mobility needs! techcrunch.com/2024/02/21/ube…
Our partner @Uber recently launched its service in the Himalayan region of Jammu & Kashmir. The expansion, which comes a few months after Uber’s milestone 10th year in India, furthers the company’s global mission to help people go anywhere & get anything. inc42.com/buzz/uber-expa…
We are pleased to share our February ’24 newsletter, which captures the milestones of our portfolio partners in India and an assortment of updates from Times Bridge, The Times of India Group, and India’s dynamic consumer market. Happy reading! #immerse linkedin.com/pulse/india-in…
“Since the pandemic, India has had more learners than any other country in the world. There is a hunger to learn AI skills, and the penetration will continue to be high.” #immerse @coursera cnbctv18.com/business/compa…
Our partner @Uber continues to innovate in India! They’re shaking up their standard pricing model by piloting Uber Flex in 12 Indian cities, thereby allowing users to get more competitive and affordable prices for their rides. #immerse indianexpress.com/article/techno…
Our partner @coursera continues to localize its offerings for its second-largest global market. Most recently, they’ve been leveraging AI to offer over 4,000 courses in Hindi — in line with its mission to provide universal access to world-class learning. hindustantimes.com/education/news…
Our partner @Airbnb has recently joined hands with India's mountainous state of Uttarakhand. The partnership will offer tourists insights into the state’s distinct regional traditions & emphasize conscious travel practices that benefit local communities. outlooktraveller.com/whats-new/airb…
Could Indian tourists become as ubiquitous globally as those of China? Over the next 20 years, it's possible — thanks to a strong post-pandemic recovery, GDP per capita forecasts, and a growing propensity for travel in the world's 5th largest economy. mckinsey.com/industries/tra…
“India not only beckons as a thriving market but also a crucible for global business success, offering both local and international growth opportunities.” More of our thoughts on India’s economic rise, penned alongside @DezanShira: businessinsider.in/policy/economy… #immerse
As Indian airlines order record-breaking numbers of new planes, air travel continues to reach new heights. A report from @Skyscanner found that 86% of Indian travelers plan to take the same number, or more, trips abroad in 2024 compared to this year. skyscanner.co.in/news/travel-tr…
Earlier this year, credit card usage in India surpassed debit card usage for the first time. The value of credit card transactions remains on the rise, demonstrating increasing average incomes and growing consumer awareness. #immerse @business
This year's Diwali sales hit a new high! One major online retailer noted that customers from 99.7% of pin codes across India shopped during the month-long celebrations — demonstrating the broad and rapid digitalization across India's consumer economy.cnbctv18.com/business/diwal…
India's travel market continues to show promising growth — but what is driving the wanderlust? According to @bookingcom & @McKinsey, Indian travelers mainly get their travel inspiration from social media platforms, TV shows, and Indian cinema. #immerse skift.com/2023/10/18/boo…
"Nearly two-thirds of 18- to 24-year-olds in India say they listen to podcasts at least weekly." The top global and domestic players are both well-positioned to capitalize on the demand for podcasts from India's youngest adults. #immerse
Our partner @mubi has played a longstanding role in the prestigious @MumbaiFilmFest, which spotlights contemporary films and new cinematic voices from South Asia. In so doing, MUBI continues to bring the world's most-loved films to Indian cinephiles. variety.com/2023/film/asia…
A new report co-authored by our partner @girleffect investigated the digital divide in 6 countries. In India, the report revealed gender-based discrepancies in mobile phone ownership, the narrative of internet safety, and other important areas. m.timesofindia.com/india/girls-an…
#ICYMI: In our 2nd edition of India Immersion Stories, we unpacked how we helped our partner @mubi seize on its unique selling point within 6 months of its India launch — and win the hearts of Indian cinephiles. Check it out! linkedin.com/pulse/how-indi… #IndiaImmersionStories
Within the next 5 years, Indians are expected to consume the most data in the world at 62GB per user per month. Fueling the trend is India's internet, which has become cheaper, more widespread, and faster than that of many developed countries. #immerse livemint.com/industry/telec…
