When Computer scientists Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn invented the internet in the early 1960s, little did they know that their invention would someday become the heartbeat of the human race. The reason for this is extent to which the internet is penetrated in our day-to-day lives. In the last few decades, the internet technology has undergone a sea of changes right from rolling-out of 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G to the Optic Fibre Cable networks. This phenomenon is witnesses worldwide, and Indian is not an exclusion either. Being the world’s second most populated country, the subcontinent is home to a massive number of smartphone and internet users across both urban and rural areas.

Although the internet penetration in rural areas is still a minor concern in India, the situation seems to be improving in recent the reason being the emergence of new age internet service providers, who, through their rigorous R&D efforts are connecting every nook & corner of the country via the internet. The entrance of Reliance Jio into the market domain further fuelled the internet penetration in India due to the ISPs offering highly attractive internet plans at competitive prices. As of September 2021, there were 821 ISPs in India offering broadband and narrow band services.
