Built for Bharat: FinTech startups nail the multilingual game!
Meet New India, the country with high ambitions, which wants to be at par with its big city counterparts. New India speaks the language of its own hinterland and deserves its brands to speak their own language. One of the main pillars in the rise of New India is rapid and extensive internet penetration. The digital storm has brought the Tier 2 and 3 cities to provide the next opportunity for growth and India’s emerging brands are aware of the same.
The number of Internet users in India is expected to grow by 45 percent and reach 900 million by 2025, according to a report by IAMAI-Kantar ICUBE 2020. By 2025, Internet users in rural India are expected to surpass urban India. In the words of Nelson Mandela, speaking to a man in his own tongue reaches his heart; and India’s emerging brands are leaving no stone unturned to nail the mother tongue game and be at the forefront of carving out a niche in the Tier 2 markets and beyond. Here’s the full scoop!
