Indian Mobile Youth: By 2012, one in 5 of world’s mobile youth will live in India (video)

by Graham Brown on January 12, 2009

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.
