1.09 billion.
That's how many internet subscribers India had by March 2026, according to TRAI, up more than 6% in a single quarter.
Now think about what that number means.
The average wireless user consumes about 26.7 GB of data every month. That's people reading news, searching for jobs, and hunting for the best price, all on a phone.
But here's the part that stays with me:
Around 440 million people in India, about 30% of the population, were still offline at the end of 2025.
That means the biggest chapter of India's digital story hasn't even been written yet.
This is why I build online.
I run three websites: a news site, a jobs portal and a deals platform. They're small today. But I'm building them for the next few hundred million people who will come online, with local language, simple design, and content that solves a real problem.
Every founder gets the same choice: wait until the market is proven, or build while it's still growing.
I'm choosing to build.
If you could reach the next 100 million Indians online, what would you create for them? 👇
