India has an internet user-base of about 375 million (30% of population). Despite being the second largest user-base in world, only behind China (650 million, 48% of population), the penetration of e-commerce is low compared to markets like United States or France, but is growing at an unprecedented rate, adding around 6 million new entrants every month.
