Executive Summary

India is a major economy in Asia Pacific, but online adoption has yet to become mainstream in even the major cities. In fact, Internet penetration is still less than one-quarter, even among young adults in the major metropolitan cities. For the offline population overall, the No. 1 barrier to adoption overwhelmingly is not knowing enough about the Internet. However, for those who plan to go online in the future, price and access are additional hurdles.
