Amazing facts. All 350 million of them under 30. We have a special affinity here at mobileYouth with India. In 2005 we set up offices in Kolkata and Trivandrum. Our support team still works out in Trivandrum – the beautiful state of Kerala. I was out there in 2005 and witnessed the rapid rise of mobile ownership by India’s youth with my very eyes – school kids on the street corners swarming around the mobilewallah pushing his cart and generator peddling the latest Nokia N Series amidst a backdrop of chickens, cows, temples, noise, dirt and traffic.
Our latest video was shot by mobileYouth director Amit on location in boom town Bangalore, India as a spinoff from our annual mobileYouth report and part of our global video research on the street containing key facts and insights into the Indian youth market. Enjoy!
