Digital Marketing in India:
Internet Penetration in India is massively increasing. More than one third of the population consumes Internet. With this increased usage of Internet, India has lot of mobile users and India tops as one of the top nations to have many mobile users.
However India doesn’t necessarily make use of the web and its useful technologies.

To combat this, India has to impart Digital Marketing Training and Courses as a degree which is going to be the future for many individuals and business.

Think of 294.5 Billion Indian Rupees! That is actually, 29,450 Crore Rupees! This revenue seems huge, isn’t it!

Thus Digital Marketing is not a thing you can just blink at! You ought to definitely know what Digital Marketing is! Not just know about it, to learn at least the fundamentals of it.
Thus knowing the importance of implementing Digital Strategies into business, now most of the corporate use Digital Marketing as a powerful tool, in future it is going to be the only medium for marketing and promotions. This in line becomes mandatory to include Digital Marketing as a part of business applications and marketing, but not now. Even if you have witnessed, recently there are number of Digital Marketing Course providers in many regions of India.
