Abstract
This section describes the current state of the Indian ICT ecosystem. Along with a brief history of ICT in India, the section also discusses the various forces that are often at play regarding the ICT ecosystem: India’s geographic and socio-economic conditions, cultural factors, business models, the economy, technology adoption, regulations, trends, constraining factors, and so on. It shows the usage, and development of ICT, and the initiatives of the government.
If I were asked under what sky the Human Mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to INDIA.
