In an earlier post, I summarized key points from the first part of the ‘India Online 2007′ report by JuxtConsult. Some interesting points from the second installment of the series:
- E-commerce in India reached Rs. 2300 crores
- 10.8 million or 43% of the total Internet population shopped online – an increase of 76% YoY
- Online travel booking seems to be the biggest e-commerce activity. 84% of the 10.8 million shoppers have booked their travel online at least once
- The 10 most popular activities include email, IM, chatting, e-greetings, dating (What ??), news, sports, music, games
- Fastest growing online activites include social networking (one third of Internet users use social networking) and online matrimony
- 27% of Indian Internet population read blogs, 15% comment on blogs and 7% write a blog themselves
I guess I’m too nerdy to accept and realize that chatting and e-greetings are still some of the most popular activities online.
