increase in mobile video consumption
compared to an average smartphone user
• Strong preference towards short form
video content. 62% of videos watched
on YouTube are <20 minutes
• With massive increase in digital media
consumption, Ad spend will also witness
significant shift. In 2016, ~12% of India’s
Ad spend is digital, compared to 50% in US
and 40% in China
• Digital Ad spend to be $4-5B by 2020 from
$1B in 2016. Opportunity for Indian content
creators to get a sizable share of pie.

E-tail penetration nascent in Tier-II & beyond
• Organized retail economics unviable for
Tier-II & beyond. Organized only 5% of
retail consumption
• Smartphone penetration already high at
>30%. Majority of next 200M
smartphone users will be from Tier-II &
beyond
• With growing smartphone and internet
penetration, opportunity for E-tailers to
tap into this large consumption market
• Tier-III & IV contributes to 50% of E-tail

Tier-II & beyond – Regional language important to drive adoption
• Regional language offering (reviews, search, navigation, product
content) important to drive engagement and conversion
• E-tailers don’t control most content. Product content uploaded
by sellers and reviews by users
• Translation from current tools too literal. Not suitable for most
Indians that use mixed language (e.g. Hinglish)
• Growing market opportunity calls for E-tailers to make
concerted efforts to serve the regional language users

• As market matures, other categories
with sizable share of consumer spend
will also witness higher online
penetration
• Fashion
• Home & Décor

E-tail orders are CoD
• Cash in circulation in India is 18% of
the country’s GDP. The figure is 3.5%

the US and the UK
• Cash economy drives the shadow
economy, which is 26% of GDP in

• For e-tail’s next phase of growth, CoD
dependency needs to be reduced.
