As per the global internet report, India stands at a 139th position in case of its internet penetration while it stands as one of the countries having largest language diversity in the world.  This gives a clear picture that India should look for digitalisation in line with the language diversity to increase the penetration. Internet penetration in Iceland  which is on1st position, UAE on 12th, USA on 18th, Germany on 19th where the language diversity is comparatively very low. In case of affordability of mobile broadband percentage, India is on the 101st position with 12.39% of average GDP per capita is required for mobile broadband access which is further expected to be corrected with the reforms and competition in the telecom industry.

Now with the connectivity of internet, Indian population has become digitally equipped but there are other factors that require to be taken into the consideration for achieving greater digital and mobile connectivity. The issue of language is extremely critical, which remains largely unaddressed and therefore DATAMAIL can break this clutter and lead the Digital India dream.”
