India: The Next Frontier
summary
India requires building for dozens of user profiles not one country, with ~130 million recent smartphone adopters and perhaps 200–250 million total; about one third of sessions on low-speed connections and three-fold mobile orders force tiny-app and low-CPU design. Snapdeal acquires FreeCharge, builds a payments layer, partners with Mastercard to issue a virtual card and plans to load a few hundred million rupees into wallets over 6–12 months; 80–85 million registered users, ~250,000 sellers, investors include SoftBank, Foxconn and Alibaba.
