Around 72% of the time they engage in gaming, entertainment, apps and internet based content. Notably, only 28% of their time is used in texting someone or making calls. “India’s rapidly growing mobile user base presents marketers and businesses with an opportunity to improve the precision with which they reach out to the new Indian consumer.
