India Online 2009

Understanding Online Indians and their Net Usage Behavior and Preferences

Page 2: India Online2009 Snapshot

• Most recent estimates of Internet user-ship in urban and rural India. Estimates based on a land survey conducted between Dec 2008–Jan 2009 among 135,000

individuals from 16,000 households in 40 cities and over 12,000 households in 480 villages

spread across all the 4 regions of the country

• Insightful understanding of net usage behavior and preferences of

regular online Indians. Findings on ‘net usage dynamics’ based on a sample of over

50,000 ‘active’ online panel members with JuxtConsult, and findings on ‘popular online activities

and website preferences’ based on an online survey among more than 12,500 of these ‘active’

panel members in Feb-Mar 2009

• Understanding of online Indians as ‘consumers’ and not just as

faceless net users. Includes their socio-economic status, online shopping behavior, and

website and media preferences reported on the ‘most used’ basis

• Website preferences captured for over 32 online verticals/domains

Study Overview

Page 3: India Online2009 Snapshot

A land survey was conducted to profile and estimate the users of internet. The survey covered ‘towns’ and ‘villages’ of all population strata, and ‘households’ of all socio-economic classes (SEC) within each of these towns and villages

Net usage dynamics, behavior and website preferences were captured from the ‘actual’ internet users form JuxtConsult’s own Internet User Panel (www.getcounted.net)

Demographic ‘weights’ derived from the land survey were then used to make the online panel and survey data representative of the entire online urban population (and not just of the online panel members)

Representation ‘weights’ were derived based on 6 demographic parameters - town class, SEC, region, gender, age and preferred language of reading

Only authentic Govt. of India data (NSSO/Census/RGI) were used for estimation of user-ship and derivation of representation ‘weights’

Methodology

Page 4: India Online2009 Snapshot

Topline Findings

‘All’ internet users down at 47 million (39 million urban, 8 million rural)

+3.5 mn regular ‘urban’ users over last year, +0.4 mn regular ‘rural’ users

15% growth in ‘daily’ internet users (+4.2 mn in last 1 year to reach 32 mn)

Pond gets smaller, but livelier…

* Regular internet users = internet users who use the internet ‘at least once a month’

** All internet users = Regular + Occasional internet users who have ‘used the internet in last

one year’
