One thing is pretty clear — mobile is becoming an important platform for driving the online commerce growth in India. However I believe that most people currently transacting on mobile are first experiencing it on desktop and that trend would continue for couple of more years. Mobile only shoppers would soon emerge and that would change the landscape completely. I reckon year 2016 will be a year of mobile overtaking desktop in all commerce related KPIs
(Disclaimer: I work for Paytm and this is not our PR story as you may assume that looking at some of the charts above which clearly shows Paytm in leadership position. It was incidental. Stats shown here are based on my extensive personal research. I will be happy to hear your feedback at [email protected])
