Digital Ride – Promising opportunities

This post will have most of my collected information on internet growth in Asia particularly in India with connected opportunities for New age Entrepreneurs. Current internet revolution era is yet to show its real strength in improving everyday life.

Some of you may ask, what are you talking about?

Just 75 of Indian population is only connected as of now. Most of our current activities are largely with email, voice, video download and Social Network site. Internet to Business is still less, but its catching up.

Internet growth in India is very closely associated with Mobile technology, where as in many western countries it is close to saturation. Old cybercafe business model is dying, soon you will see them as groceries. So called digital dividers like Low bandwidth to end user, accessibility, Latency to major bandwidth points soon will get vanished.

How?

1. Matured 3G and other Broadband Wireless Access technologies @ affordable cost
2. 3 Fold increase in Data Centers from 1998
3. Internet aware device growth
4. Business adoption e-commerce

Some Number crunch, Why i believe Digital ride is a promising oppourtunity,

1. As per Gartner, Indian Data center capacity is expected to reach 5.1Million sq.ft by 2012. 31% growth
2. As per McKinsey Five fold increase in Internet users by 2015. There is significant pent-up demand for more convenient and personalized Internet access—a void the mobile Web could fill.

Opportunities list,

1. E-commerce
2. Connectivity Infrastructure – Every INR in ground infra will turn to diamond
3. Personal  identity in web – Very growing area
4. Web Content – content is the king
5. Consulting Service – Every business has a space in Internet. Not all of them knows how to get in and grab their share. Business consulting IT transformation, from local PC to stored data is a big transformation.
6. Hosted Services – Centralized storage and disaster recovery system

There is a space for every one in internet. Big guys may have big bite but all of us will get our share of profit. 5 fold growth in just 4 yrs is a huge thing to deal with.

Get ready for Digital Ride!
