Monthly data usage/ user has grown 15 times since 2014 to 4 gb/ user/ month in Dec 2017 and is estimated to treble in the coming years, on the back of very cheap data prices. 4G users are already at 11 gb/ user/ month. With 425 mn internet users and 313 smartphone users, India is the leading Facebook country in the world with 270 mn users/ month.
On the back of technological advances like fast broadband internet, ubiquitous 4G wireless, significant and increasing smartphone ownership, real time payment systems to name a few, financial services are undergoing a significant transformation.
